Particle physics is increasingly being linked to engineering applications via electronmicroscopy, nuclear instrumentation, and numerous other applications. It is well known thatrelativistic particle equations notoriously fail over very short space-time intervals. This paperintroduces new versions of Dirac's equation and of the Klein-Gordon equation that are suitable for short-range phenomena. Another objective of the paper is to demonstrate that pulse measurement methods that are based on the wave nature of matter do not necessarily correlate with physical definitions that are based on the corpuscular nature of particles
