Micro-rheometry

Completed
One way to develop small-volume rheology methods that we have used successfully is to start with existing concepts and geometries of rheometry and to then "think small." This approach ensures that we are measuring fundamental materials properties rather than quantities that are experiment and

Microscopy Methods

Completed
Due to projection effects, analytical transmission electron microscopy (AEM) of thinned or sectioned samples has traditionally been limited to essentially two-dimensional imaging and analysis. Current nanometer scale devices are too small and complex for current sectioning capabilities and two

Microstructure-Property Tools for Structure-Property Design

Materials Digital Twins for AM Current methodologies for designing digital twins in additive manufacturing (AM) exhibit two main approaches: one involves AI models. that establish a direct correlation between input and output properties, overlooking materials structure and characterization, while

Microsystems for Harsh Environment Testing

Completed
Classically, measurement of the mechanical properties and reliability of bulk-scale materials is performed with macroscopic specimens and methods. Specimen preparation limitations, miniaturized load-frame tooling problems, and inadequate understanding of the roles of specimen size and constraint on

Miniaturized Microwave Absolute Calibration

Ongoing
The small-satellite development has seen significant growth in recent years. Due to the size limitation, the conventional calibration device can no longer be equipped on the small-satellite platform. Consequently, new technology is called for to provide a precise and traceable calibration solution

Minutiae Interoperability Exchange (MINEX) Overview

Ongoing
MINEX III Minutiae Interoperability Exchange (MINEX) III is a continuing test of INCITS 378 fingerprint templates, as established in Annex A of NIST SP 800-76-2. The test is used to establish compliance of template generators and template matchers for the U.S. Government's Personal Identity

MixMaSTR DNA Validation Software

Ongoing
We are in the process of developing a standalone help for practitioners in an easy-to-use application with a well-designed graphical user interface that will: Generating all possible mixture genotype combinations from their provided ground truth single-source profiles and selected NoCs Computing

Mobile Application and Data Isolation

Ongoing
The security of mobile devices operating within a nationwide interoperable network is critical in maintaining a secure and reliable cellular network for first responders. The inclusion of mobile devices erodes traditional network boundaries, increasing a network’s threat surface, and adding many new

Mobile Cloud Computing

Ongoing
Design robustness using formal language This effort develops a formal specification using the π-calculus to define a virtual device representation. It also describes a way to compose multiple virtual devices representing physical devices available on the network to build a composite virtual

Mobility Performance of Robotic Systems

Ongoing
Objective Provide the measurement science to develop standard test methods for intelligent industrial mobility systems, including mobile and wearable robotic systems. Technical Idea This project will expand prior work on performance test methods for mobile robotic systems and wearable robots under a

Model-Based Enterprise Program

Ongoing
OBJECTIVE: The Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) Program will develop and deploy advances in standards, test methods, and measurement science that enable manufacturers to integrate system, service, product, process, and logistics models across the manufacturing enterprise. WHAT IS THE NEW TECHNICAL IDEA

Model-based Manufacturing Capability Definition

Completed
Objective - The Model-Based Manufacturing Capability Definition project will develop and deploy advances in standards and measurement science to enable manufacturers to define, measure, and control the capability of smart manufacturing systems. What is the new technical idea? Decisions across the

Model-Based Manufacturing Services

Ongoing
Manufacturing systems need to transform towards a new service-oriented architecture to benefit from new smart manufacturing technologies such as IIoT, AI, and Big Data Analytics. A service-oriented manufacturing system (SOMS) is a dynamic composition of networked manufacturing software and cyber

Modeling Dispersion Rheology for Non-Spherical Particles

Completed
The goal of this MGI project is to establish an interactive database, generated by sophisticated modeling, such as dissipative particle dynamics and smooth particle hydrodynamics, to compute the rheological properties of polymer composites, where interaction among inclusions, inclusion particle

Modeling Methodology for Smart Manufacturing

Ongoing
Objective: Develop new modeling methodologies, guidelines, and software tools to enable manufacturers to more easily apply analytical methods to manufacturing operations and processes. Technical Idea: Manufacturers would realize great benefit were the costs of composing analytical models reduced

Modeling Photon Absorption in Composite Resin Systems

Ongoing
In this work, we establish a method to calculate the spatial absorption and scattering parameters for composite resins during photopolymerization. The inputs to this model are based on the characteristics of the resin system (e.g., monomer and filler structure and composition, filler size and

Modeling and Simulation of Nanofabrication (Archived)

Completed
While self-assembly is still in its relative infancy with respect to practical use, with much additional research required to reach maturity, the more widely utilized top-down methods will continue to require advances and modifications to improve current nanomanufacturing techniques. This modeling

Molecular Binding Prediction for Drug Design

Ongoing
Computer simulations of large multi-molecular networks are of fundamental importance to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of key biological functions in the human body. Our vision is that only the combination of computational and experimental data can lead to the needed insight into these complex
