We present a method for calibrating polarimeters that uses a set of well-characterized reference polarizations and makes no assumptions about the optics
Non-imaging optical critical dimension (OCD) techniques have rapidly become a preferred method for measuring nanoscale features in semiconductors. OCD relies
Today's avionics systems depend more and more on software from many sources: vendors, subcontractors, in-house, and open source. System interactions are exposed
Distributed sensor networks are emerging technology for building applications in control and condition monitoring of equipment and machinery in government and
