Advanced Sensing Towards Improved Forklift Safety

Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, William P. Shackleford
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Intelligent Systems Division has been researching advanced three-dimensional (3D) imaging sensors and their

Absorption of Thermal Radiation by Burning Polymers

Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Mauro Zammarano, Boris Wilthan, Leonard M. Hanssen
In large-scale fires, the input of energy to burning materials occurs predominantly by radiative transfer. The in-depth absorption of radiant energy by a

Evaluation of Maps using Fixed Shapes: The Fiducial Map Metric

Author(s)
Soren Schwertfeger, Adam S. Jacoff, Christopher Scrapper, Johannes Pellenz, Alexander Kleiner
Mapping is an important task for mobile robots. Assessing the quality of those maps is an open topic. A new approach on map evaluation is presented here. It

Metrics for Mixed Pallet Stacking

Author(s)
Stephen B. Balakirsky, Thomas R. Kramer, Frederick M. Proctor
Stacking boxes of various sizes and contents on pallets (i.e. making mixed pallets) is a primary method of preparing goods for shipment from a warehouse to a

New approach to calibrate the mortar flow table

Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, Haleh Azari
The flow table is a standardized test that is widely used to qualify a mortar to be tested for compressive strength and air content. It is also the only

Robust Iris Recognition Baseline for the Occular Challenge

Author(s)
Yooyoung Lee, Ross J. Micheals, James J. Filliben, P J. Phillips
Due to its distinctiveness, the human iris is a popular biometric feature used to identity a person with high accuracy. The Grand Challenge in iris recognition

Two Level System Loss in Superconducting Microwave Resonators

Author(s)
David P. Pappas, Michael R. Vissers, David S. Wisbey, Jeffrey S. Kline, Jiansong Gao
High quality factor, i.e. low loss, resonators are important for quantum information storage and addressing. In this work we study the resonance frequency and

Performance of a coherent dual frequency comb spectrometer

Author(s)
Nathan R. Newbury, Esther Baumann, Ian R. Coddington, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, William C. Swann, Alexander M. Zolot
We discuss the performance of a coherent dual frequency comb spectrometer in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, resolution, and accuracy based on experimental data

Synthetic Electric and Magnetic Fields for Ultracold Neutral Atoms

Author(s)
William D. Phillips, Yu-Ju Lin, Robert L. Compton, Karina K. Jimenez Garcia, Abigail R. Perry, James V. Porto, Ian B. Spielman
We use Raman coupling between magnetic sublevels of a 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) to create an effective vector gauge field for the neutral atoms. They

A Benchmark for Best View Selection of 3D Objects

Author(s)
Helin Dutagaci, Chun Pan (Benny) Cheung, Afzal A. Godil
The best view selection corresponds to the task of automatically selecting the most representative view of a 3D model. In this paper, we describe a benchmark

Torsion Balance Test of Couplings to Spin

Author(s)
Blayne R. Heckel, Eric G. Adelberger, William A. Terrano, Claire E. Cramer
This article describes constraints on possible new spin-coupled interactions using a torsion pendulum with approximately 1 × 1023 polarized electrons.
