The long term performance of building integrated photovoltaic panels is measured "in-situ"using the Building Integrated Photovoltaic Testbed, located within the
The Smiths Detection 6046si cabinet x-ray system was designed for security screening of bags, parcels and other objects of similar size. The system runs at 160
The NIST high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry facility is composed of six High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors and a silicon-drifted detector. The HPGe
The Model C is a manual, twelve ton, two column, hydraulic lab press that is similar to the Mini C. The Model C is larger with a heavier construction and
In 1993, the United States Congress directed the U.S. Department of Transportation to establish "a standard for a minimum level of retroreflectivity that must
