The National Institute of Standards and Technology is involved in a research project to improve wireless communications for first responders (firefighters and
The influence of spatial resolution on line width measurements in the critical dimension scanning electron microscope (CD-SEM) was investigated experimentally
Key comparisons are international interlaboratory studies used to establish the degree of equivalence between national measurement standards. These studies

The development step is critical to the fabrication of nanostructures in chemically amplified photoresist technology. With critical dimensions (CD) shrinking to
We report observations and experience in the Computer Forensics Tool Testing (CFTT) project while developing methodologies to test interrupt 0x13 based software
Recently, Information Commons has become a buzzword with two meanings--a gathering place for collaborating and sharing new technologies, or a virtual spot for

We describe the calibration of an inexpensive, reliable system for use in weak-signal detection. The calibration procedure described allows the conversion of
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a digital library of mathematical functions to replace the widely used National Bureau
Unsteady extinguishment phenomena of laminar methane-air co-flow diffusion flames formed in a cup-burner apparatus at normal earth gravity have been studied
