Description: The Statistical Engineering Division (SED), within the Information Technology Laboratory, serves primarily as a research and consulting group working with the NIST scientific staff. Members of the Division engage in research in the areas of statistical graphics, reliability, linear...

Numerical Reproducibility

Ongoing
The Information Systems group in ITL is developing a program in numerical reproducibility, which has been funded through several projects. Issues with numerical reproducibility are becoming increasingly significant, for several reasons Increased use of parallel computing has caused order of...

Ontologies and Interoperability in Evolutionary Comparative Analysis

Completed
Intended impact Nearly all scientists who regularly use online resources on genes, proteins and genomes make use of comparative data to advance biomedical research. For instance, researchers often make useful inferences by comparing human genes (as well as proteins, reactions, interactions, pathways...

Ontology for Mapping Platform Configuration in Security Properties

Ongoing
The output of this project will improve the trust in the most vulnerable (weakest) element participating in a trusted cyber transaction. Additionally, the extensible ontology will enable establishment of assurance measures for new types of online transactions as they emerge.

OOF

Ongoing
The OOF project is a software development project designed to make advanced computational modeling capabilities available to materials science researchers who are not themselves computational experts. Researchers bring domain expertise from materials science to assist in building high-quality finite...

Open Access to Research (OAR)

Ongoing
Major Capabilities: Data Services and Tools: The OAR systems provide end-to-end workflow to deliver research outputs to the public. NIST Management of Institutional Data Assets (MIDAS) is a comprehensive application suite developed for orchestrating research data and code publication, data...

Operational Technology Security

Ongoing
Operational technology (OT) encompasses a broad range of programmable systems or devices that interact with the physical environment (or manage devices that interact with the physical environment). These systems/devices detect or cause a direct change through the monitoring and/or control of devices...

Performance of Emerging Technologies for Robotics

Ongoing
Objective Identify opportunities in, and barriers to greater adoption of robotics, and help establish the metrology basis needed for assessing, accepting, and advancing novel technologies that could help overcome these barriers in small- and medium-sized manufacturers. Technical Idea Small...

Physics and Hardware for Intelligence

Ongoing
Our work in this area can be separated into two categories: conceptual and experimental. Please read our publications linked below for more information. Experimental: Our latest generation of synaptic circuits are described in a 2024 paper published in APL Machine Learning. These circuits are our...

Point and Shoot Face Recognition Challenge (PaSC)

Completed
Inexpensive "point-and-shoot" camera technology combined with social network technology motivates the general population to use face recognition technology. Users expect a lot; they want to snap pictures, shoot videos, upload, and have their friends, family and acquaintances more-or-less...

Polymer Analytics

Ongoing
This project focuses on a variety of activities to achieve the aforementioned goal of accelerating the discovery of new polymer physics. Enhanced machine learning Two major hurdles to applying machine learning to polymer science is a lack of large datasets and a need to understand the model...

Proprietary Fingerprint Template Evaluations (PFT) Overview

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Proprietary Fingerprint Template (PFT) program is an ongoing biometric technology evaluation program measuring the performance of fingerprint template generation and one-to-one verification software using vendor proprietary fingerprint templates...

Prototyping Platforms for Emerging Technologies

Ongoing
Emerging technologies aim to overcome traditional memory limitations with higher density, lower power consumption, faster read/write speeds, better endurance, and lower cost [2]. Many new candidate memory elements are analog or stochastic, requiring new testing infrastructure, and the context of...

Proximity Detection for Electronic Contact Tracing

Completed
We are developing performance metrics for not just ranging, but also for detecting close contacts, which in the context of COVID-19 is the situation where two people are less than six feet apart with no obstacles between them. Obviously, the duration of a close contact is important, as it affects...

Quality Assessment of Cryogenic Electron Microscopy Images

Ongoing
Manufacturing a vaccine based on packaging mRNA in lipid nanoparticles requires a full characterization of concentrations and distributions of mRNA and LNPs, as well as all manufacturing conditions. Such experiments generate hundreds of terabytes (TBs) of images and pose challenges on trusted...

Quantum Optical Networks

Ongoing
The program's technical research areas are: Architecture research for Quantum Optical Networks and integration with classical networks Management (label, identify, track) and Control Plane (signal and route optical paths) Software Stacks Performance monitoring for end-to-end Quality of Entanglement...

Real-time Image Intensity Transformation for Surgical Displays

Ongoing
The goal of the project is to develop multiple approaches to fusing dim fluorescent and vivid bright-field images such that surgery-relevant anatomical features are easily perceived. Our approach is based on transforming image intensities in fluorescent surgical microscopy images and blending them...

Reliability of Mechanical Systems in Buildings

Ongoing
Objective To develop AI-assisted Fault-Detection and Diagnostic tools for reliability and operating cost savings of residential air conditioners (ACs), heat pumps (HPs), and mechanical systems of large commercial buildings. Technical Idea NIST will develop and demonstrate cloud-based FDD methods for...
