For mechanotransduction studies, extracellular matrix proteins should be robustly attached to the surface to prevent cell delamination during deformation. The...
The EtherNet/IP interoperability recommendations are a result of work generated by the ongoing series of EtherNet/IP Implementors Workshops. The recommendations...
The performance of microwave components is sensitive to vibrations to some extent. Among them, microwave cables and connectors, bandpass filters, mechanical...

We explore the use of the Media Independent Information Service (MIIS) in the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) framework to improve handover...
This paper presents Version 4.0 of the CYCLE_D: NIST Vapor Compression Cycle Design Program. The model can simulate a basic subcritical or transcritical...
We have developed a fiber-optic interferometer optimized for best performance in the frequency range from DC to 1 kHz, with displacement linearity of 1 % over a...
Line width roughness (LWR) has been identified as a potential source of uncertainty in scatterometry measurements, and characterizing its effect is required to...

The near-term objective of the work reported here is developing a protocol for rapidly mapping CD and edge roughness from high-resolution SEM images of...
GaN nanowires with InGaN quantum wells (QW) were grown on heated Si(111) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using elemental Ga and In and a radio...
We recently presented and tested a model for a dynamic gravimetric standard for steady water flows. In the range 10 kg/s to 60 kg/s, the difference between the...
This paper describes a proposed standard method for conducting a performance evaluation of wireless communications links used for the control and telemetry...
The most accurate width measurements in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) require raw images to be corrected for instrumental artifacts. Corrections are...
While mobile handheld devices, such as cell phones and PDAs, provide productivity benefits, they also pose new risks. A vital safeguard against unauthorized...
