Testing & QC. (What to See at NPE 2003).Plastics molders, extruders, and campounders will have a lot to see in testing and measurement equipment. Included are the latest in color and gloss measurement instruments and vision inspection Systems. There is also a wide range of new and upgraded instruments for testing mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties. Measure color and gloss New appearance-measuring instruments figure prominently at NPE NPE NullPointerException (Java) NPE Network Processing Engine NPE National Policy on Education NPE National Plastics Exposition NPE Natural Penis Enlargement NPE Nutrition Program for the Elderly . Among the more interesting developments is new web-enabled software from GretagMacbeth. Using the internet, the new NetProfiler and NetPalette software streamlines color communications by providing "virtual calibration" so that different makes and models of instruments measure color to the same standards. The instruments even communicate color data to each other via automated e-mail. In addition, new color- and gloss-measuring instruments will be introduced by Byk-Gardner, Datacolor, GretagMacbeth, Minolta, and a new entrant in color-measurement instruments, PocketSpec Technologies. Instruments will also be shown by Color Instruments, Equitech, Gardner, Hunterlab, and X-Rite.
