More than 60 robot test methods are being developed by a team lead by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with the sponsorship of U.S

The MEMS 5-in-1 Reference Materials (RM 8096 and 8097)

Author(s)
Janet M. Cassard, Jon C. Geist, Michael Gaitan, David G. Seiler
The MEMS 5-in-1 Reference Material (RM) contains test structures for five standard test methods on one test chip, so companies can compare their in-house

Calibrations of Multi-Hole Pitot Tubes Depend on Tubulence

Author(s)
Iosif I. Shinder, Christopher J. Crowley, Michael R. Moldover
NIST is developing techniques to calibrate 2- and 3-dimensional anemometer systems (such as multi-hole pitot tubes) with a resolution of 0.3 %. The pitch and

Broad bandwidth trace gas and standoff detection with infrared frequency comb sources

An optical frequency comb based on the output of a mode-locked femtosecond laser can be used in spectroscopic studies and sensing applications. The broad array

Modeling the Vapor Pressure of Biodiesel Fuels

Author(s)
O. Castellanos Diaz, F. Schoeggl, H.W. Yarranton, Marco Satyro, Tara Lovestead, Thomas J. Bruno
The composition, vapour pressure, and heat capacity of nine biodiesel fuels from different sources were measured. The vapour pressure of the biodiesel fuels is

Hyperspectral Imaging of Ischemic Wounds

Author(s)
David W. Allen
Optical imaging has the potential to achieve high spatial resolution and high functional sensitivity in wound assessment. However, clinical acceptance of many

The Effects of Folding on High Strength Fibers Used in Soft Body Armor

Author(s)
Haruki Kobayashi, Walter G. McDonough, Joy Dunkers, Jae H. Kim, Hae-Jeong Lee, Scott Wight, Amanda L. Forster, Kirk D. Rice, Gale A. Holmes
Poly (p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers have been used in soft body armor (SBA) because of their high mechanical strength. However, there was an

Optimization and analysis of code-division multiplexed TES microcalorimeters

Author(s)
Joseph W. Fowler, William B. Doriese, Gene C. Hilton, Kent D. Irwin, Daniel R. Schmidt, Greg Stiehl, Daniel S. Swetz, Joel N. Ullom, Leila R. Vale
We are developing code-division multiplexing (CDM) readout systems for TES arrays for good scalability to large multiplexing factors. We report high energy
