A phase-locked fiber laser-based supercontinuum source is presented. The linewidth of a single line of the IR frequency comb produced by fiber laser-based
We describe thermal-detector coatings based on carbon nanotubes. Such coatings may form the basis of the next generation of calorimeters, radiometers, and other
This paper reports a modeling study to determine the fire suppression potential for compounds based on their evaporation and transport behavior in a simulated

This paper will provide an overview of the Process Control Security Requirements Forum (PCSRF) and the System Protection Profile for Industrial Control Systems
Water mist is gaining acceptance as a substitute for gaseous fire suppression agents worldwide. In commercial aircraft applications the FAA/CAA have adopted a
The past two decades have witnessed the development of many CAPP (Computer-Aided Process Planning) systems. From variant process planning to generative process

The paper describes human-robot awareness and analyzes violations of awareness in a search and rescue competition. The critical incidents that arise from these
We investigate the inherent scalability problem of ad hoc networks originated from the nature of multi-hop networks. First, the expected packet traffic at the
A multiscale Green's function method is described for modeling the mechanical response of quantum nanostructures in semiconductors. The method accounts for the

Optical methods are often thought to lose their effectiveness as a metrology tool beyond the Rayleigh criterion. However, using advanced modeling methods, the
We explore the problems that can be encountered in making common measurements on flat panel displays. Equipment usage techniques are reviewed and coordinated
The Display Metrology Committee of the Video Electronics Standards Association is developing the next Flat Panel Display Measurements Standard. The document's

Two types of overlay targets have been designed and evaluated for the study of optical overlay metrology. They are in-chip and arrayed overlay targets. In-chip
A surface magneto-optical trap for chromium atoms is demonstrated as a first step toward loading atoms into microscopic magnetic traps. Characteristics of the
