Viscosity and Density of CuO Nanolubricant

Author(s)
Mark A. Kedzierski
This paper presents liquid kinematic viscosity and density measurements of a synthetic polyolester based copper (II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticle dispersion

Microfluidic Mixer for Polymer Melts

Author(s)
Doyoung Moon, Kalman D. Migler
We present a novel microfluidic mixer for high temperature polymer melts based on the platform of the Multi-sample Micro-slit Rheometer (MMR). The device is

Precision ranging LIDAR using femtosecond fiber lasers

Author(s)
Nathan R. Newbury, Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann
We discuss a coherent laser radar that uses two coherent femtosecond fiber lasers to perform absolute ranging at long distance. One coherent femtosecond fiber

A Measure of Product Sustainability Based on Triple Bottom Line

Author(s)
Prabir Sarkar, Sudarsan Rachuri, Hyo Won Suh, Kevin W. Lyons, Ram D. Sriram
Sustainable societies require the use of sustainable products. Sustainability is generally expressed in terms of Triple Bottom Line (TBL) - people, planet, and

Minutia Interoperability

Author(s)
Elham Tabassi
Many large scale identity management applications require storage and exchange of standardized minutiae templates. Minutia templates offer a more space efficient

OntoSTEP: OWL-DL Ontology for STEP

Author(s)
Sylvere Krima, Raphael Barbau, Xenia Fiorentini, Sudarsan Rachuri, sebti foufou, Ram D. Sriram
The Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) [1] contains product information mainly related to geometry. The modeling language used to develop

A microfabricated photonic magnetometer

Author(s)
Jan Preusser, Svenja A. Knappe, Vladislav Gerginov, John E. Kitching
A system for sensing magnetic fields is proposed, composed of an array of passive microfabricated alkali atom sensor heads coupled to a control unit using only

Measuring Indoor Mobile Wireless Link Quality

Author(s)
Michael R. Souryal
This paper investigates methods for link quality measurement of an indoor, time-varying wireless link. Link quality estimates are used for a number of higher

Practical Applications of Nonlinear Measurements

Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley
We discuss the limitations of vector network analyzers in the measurement of nonlinear devices and circuits, including their inability to measure the relative

Atmospheric Retention of Man-made CO2 Emissions

Author(s)
Bert W. Rust
Rust and Thijsse have shown that global annual average temperature anomalies T(t i) vary linearly with atmospheric CO 2 concentrations c(t i). The c(t i) can be

Frequency Measurements of Al+ and Hg+ Optical Standards

Author(s)
Wayne M. Itano, James C. Bergquist, Till P. Rosenband, David J. Wineland, David Hume, Chin-wen Chou, Steven R. Jefferts, Thomas P. Heavner, Tom Parker, Scott Diddams, Tara Fortier
Frequency standards based on narrow optical transitions in 27Al+ and 199Hg+ ions have been developed at NIST. Both standards have absolute reproducibilities of
