National Physical Laboratory of India users. This process, known as dissemination, is carried out in a number of ways. For applications requiring low levels of uncertainty, there is satellite based dissemination service, which utilizes the Indian national satellite, INSAT. Time is also disseminated through TV, radio, and special telephone services. The caesium atomic clocks maintained at NPL are linked to other such instituted all over the world through a set of global positioning satellites. The unit of electric current, ampere, is realized at NPL by measuring volt and Ohm separately. The uncertainty in measurement of ampere is ± 1 × 10. The standard of temperature
Transepithelial potential difference Transepithelial potential difference Transepithelial potential difference (TEPD) is the voltage across an epithelium, and is the sum of the membrane potentials for the outer and inner cell membranes. The diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is usually based on high sweat chloride concentrations, characteristic clinical findings (including sinopulmonary infections), and/or family history. However, a small portion of patients with Cystic Fibrosis especially those with "mild" mutations of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator ion channel (CFTR), have near-normal sweat tests. In these cases, a useful diagnostic, adjunct involves measuring the nasal transepithelial potential difference (ie, the charge on the respiratory epithelial surface
