We describe the operation of a cryogenic current comparator (CCC) bridge that attains high current sensitivity while maintaining stability under a range of...
We have studied the voltage noise of electronic voltage standards based on Zener diode references (Zeners). Ten volt Zener outputs were compared to NIST...
An investigation of the response of high-value resistance standards and elements to applied potential has showed that the processes used to prepare and...

A programmable Josephson voltage standard chip using arrays of NbN/TiN/NbN/TiN/NbN double-junction stacks was fabricated and operated at 10 K. The circuit with...
Our results extending Kuhn's fault class hierarchy provide a justification for the focus of fault-based testing strategies on detecting particular faults and...

The uncertainty in voltage measurement in a Josephson voltage standard (JVS) is proportional to the uncertainty of frequency measurement. The 10 MHz time-base...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a service for measuring parameters associated with the step response of high-speed...
The United States Government as well as the industrial controls sector has come to realize that securing computer systems that control industrial production and...

One of the most significant issues in any analytical practice is optimization. Optimization and calibration are key factors in quantitation. In matrix-assisted...
Tilt is the slope in waveform values that occurs before and/or after a waveform transition. Tilt causes a bias in the computed values of waveform state levels...
The Energy Conservation in Building and Community Systems program of the International Energy Agency has set up Annex 40, a research working group on...

High-resolution spectroscopy and a femtosecond laser frequency comb are used to determine the optical frequencies between the components of the D 2 line in...
We present a method to reduce the residual Doppler effect by almost two orders of magnitude in our optical frequency standard. The approach combines atom...
