Transfer radiometers and reference detectors

Ongoing
Use of these radiometers depends on a primary standard detector and a secondary transfer detector. We generally employ an absolute cryogenic radiometer (ACR) as the primary standard detector to calibrate the transfer detector, a Si:As blocked-impurity-band (BIB) detector. The transfer detector is
Reflectance-type silicon trap-detectors

Transfer and working standard radiometers and photometers

Ongoing
Reflectance-type silicon trap-detectors – Silicon trap-detectors have been developed for use as transfer standards for the IR-SIRCUS and IR-Laser Scatter and Detector Characterization facilities. They are built using either Hamamatsu S6337 or S1337 photodiodes. UV silicon trap-detectors have also

Impact Provide metrological tools and standards supporting the fair trade of hydrogen gas as a vehicle fuel of the future. Objectives Design, construct, and utilize a facility that mimics retail hydrogen fueling station conditions to quantify uncertainties of flow measurement standards and

Transport Properties of Complex Particles and Polymers

Ongoing
Our approach is divided into several technical approaches: 1) Precise particle shape specification based on observation, 2) calculation of particle properties and 3) the calculation of the effect of particle shape on the properties of the polymer materials. Our computational webtool ZENO

Trapped Sr+ ion clock; a secondary realization of the SI second

Ongoing
The single 88Sr + clock is attractive for both its frequency accuracy and for its relative simplicity. The 674 nm clock transition has been independently studied at several NMI’s at the 10 -17 level [1-4]. Advances in light source technology [5,6] may allow operation with just two lasers: one for

Trapped Ion Optical Clocks

Ongoing
This project uses techniques from quantum information science to enable precision metrology. We use the dipole-forbidden 1S 0 - 3P 0 transition in singly-ionized aluminum as an stable frequency reference (natural linewidth ~8 mHz), which we detect using quantum logic spectroscopy with a second ion

TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation: TRECVID

Ongoing
The TREC conference series is sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST) with additional support from other U.S. government agencies. The goal of the conference series is to encourage research in information retrieval by providing a large test collection, uniform scoring

OBJECTIVE: To develop and deploy advances in measurement science, standards, and test methods that enable key dimensions of trust, including performance, reliability, and security, for smart manufacturing systems, components, and data. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Manufacturing continually evolves as

Tunable Compression of Wind Tunnel Data

Ongoing
Variability of Bending Moments The values of the bending moments vary both within each run, and between runs. The between-runs variability provides a standard against which one should assess the severity of any loss of information that a data compression scheme may incur. To assess it, we fitted a

Ultrafast Spectroscopy to Advance Microelectronics

Ongoing
Continued advancement in microelectronics, including analog and digital electronics, power electronics, optics and photonics, and micromechanics for memory, processing, sensing, and communications as defined by the OSTP “National Strategy on Microelectronics Research,” requires knowledge of material

Uncertainty analysis for autocorrelated measurement data

Ongoing
DESCRIPTION: When repeated measurements are autocorrelated, it is not appropriate to use the traditional approach to calculate the uncertainty of the average of the measurements, which assumes that the measurements are statistically independent. We need to develop approaches for assessing

Uncertainty Estimation in Interlaboratory Studies
