Thermal embossing nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is an area of continuing interest because it allows direct patterning of nanoscale structures into a wide
The development of accurate metrology for the characterization of nanomaterials is one barrier to innovation confronting all phases of nanotechnology. Ultra
A series of 24 full-scale experiments was conducted during the summer of 2008 to examine the effects of alarm type (photoelectric, ionization, and dual sensor)
Data from two full-scale residential smoke alarm fire test series was analyzed to estimate the performance of dual sensor photoelectric/ionization alarms as

The photoacid diffusion length is a critical issue for EUV photoresists and photolithography because it governs critical dimension (CD), line-edge-roughness
Metallic nanoparticle aggregates coupling strong surface plasmons with a Raman reporter molecule have been developed for application in multiplexed optical

The requirements for diagnostic and surgical lighting have remained largely unchanged over the past several years illumination level, glare, shadow and tissue
Digital product engineering information comes from a variety of applications ranging from computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing software to
The demand for gaseous hydrogen fuel is expected to necessitate a consistent supply of hydrogen that can only be delivered through networks of existing and new
This paper describes the integration of IEEE 1451 smart transducers and Open Geospatial Consortium -Sensor Web Enablement (OGC-SWE) using the Smart Transducer
Relaxation processes in viscous liquids and glasses have been studied extensively, but the underlying causes of glassy behavior in polymeric systems remains as

We present a frequency comb based on an all-fiber polarization-maintaining figure-8 laser. It is locked to an optical reference through an intracavity high
Assessing the fluid-to-solid transition in cementitious systems at early-ages is crucial for scheduling construction operations, determining when laboratory
Fusion-bonded epoxy is used extensively for increasing the service life of steel-reinforced concrete structures. However, field observations have reported
