A new type of Josephson junction array using current biased voltage steps can provide highly stable and accurate voltages. The superior voltage stability of
The EPA BASE study involved indoor environmental measurements in 100 U.S. office buildings. This paper presents an analysis of the measured outdoor air
The 2004 NIST interoperability cost study estimated an annual cost burden of $15.8 billion due to inadequate interoperability in the capital facilities segment
The NIST Construction Metrology and Automation Group (CMAG) has ongoing research in the application of laser imaging technologies in construction. Previous work

We describe the use of electrical methods for evaluating mechanical reliability and properties of patterned copper and aluminum interconnects on silicon
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the
Given the relatively limited coverage area of 802.11 access points, stations moving inside WLAN are often required to perform a handover. The time needed for a

To cope with today?s fluctuating markets, a virtual enterprise (VE) concept can be employed to achieve the cooperation among independently operating enterprises
The simulation-based training systems that are available or under development today for incident management are typically focused on macro level sequence of
A tool kit being developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)encodes XML schema Naming and Design Rules in a computer-interpretable
Cavity resonators are often used in low phase noise oscillators that utilize carrier suppression. These oscillators are employed in systems that measure phase
