To protect critical resources in today's networked environments, it is desirable to quantify the likelihood of potential multi-step attacks that combine...
The effect of radio-frequency (rf) bias on electron density in an inductively coupled plasma reactor was measured using a wave cutoff probe, in Ar, CF4, and Ar...
A technique has been developed for noninvasive monitoring of ion energy and ion current in plasma reactors. The technique relies on measurements of the applied...
We introduce an algorithm for maximizing utility through congestion control and random allocation of routes to users. The allocation is defined by a probability...
Environmental regulations impacting the electronics industry are driving the need for new data management systems to track environmental data including material...
The performance of a finned tube heat exchanger is strongly affected by the distribution of the air that passes through it. The air velocity distribution for...
Correct data exchange is critical for ensuring reliable healthcare systems. Standards based systems are the foundation for achieving this goal. However...
Alternating-current (AC) driven high-power LEDs are available and used in SSL products. AC LEDs operate directly from a mains supply and thus have advantages in...
The ability to create random models of real networks is useful for understanding the interactions of the networks. Several researchers have proposed modeling of...

Coherent, broadband fiber lasers produce pulse trains with <1 femtosecond relative timing uncertainty and <1 mHz relative frequency uncertainty. These sources...
Developing mechanisms for the efficient exchange of information between simulations and other manufacturing tools is a critical problem today. For many areas of...
