A new, double-wide manufactured home has been installed on the NIST campus for ventilation, energy and indoor air quality studies. The primary purposes of the
This paper describes a fault detection method developed for application to variable-air-volume (VAV) boxes. VPACC (VAV Box Performance Assessment Control Charts
We examine the performance of multimodal biometric authentication systems using state-of-the-art Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) fingerprint and face biometrics
In order to facilitate nationwide analysis of ventilation and indoor air quality issues in residential buildings, a set of homes has been defined to represent
This paper describes the development of a unique fluorescence based DNA diagnostic assay that does not require pre-labeling of the target oligomer prior to
Stress corrosion cracks typically nucleate at a stress concentration in the surface and propagate away from the surface on a plane perpendicular to the applied
The stress corrosion cracking behavior of precipitation hardened alloys may depend on a large number of microstructural parameters that vary during fabrication
Prof. Leonard Mandel led his students through a number of rather widely recognized experiments over the course of his career, but also through an extremely
We develop models for light scattering appropriate for glossy and matte paints. Volume scattering is treated in the single scattering regime and the diffusive
Regenerative heat exchangers have had a significant influence on the development of small refrigerators for cryogenic applications. The optimized design of

The highest accuracy method for angle measurement employed at NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology) makes use of an automated stack of three
This paper discusses the modeling and control of a nanopositioning flexure hinge mechanism with a piezoelectric actuator. A complete dynamic model for the
The microassembly of microelectromechanical systems from various micro-components requires the development of many new robotic capabilities. One of these
We have characterized the accuracy of atmospheric wavelength tracking based on a laser servolocked to a simple Fabry-Peron cavity. The motivations are (1) to
The AGA8 Detail Characterization Method allows for the calculation of the compressibility factor (or pressure) for a natural gas mixture given known conditions
