We have used our combinatorial pulsed laser deposition system to in-situ fabricate epitaxial Ba(sub1-x)Sr(sub x)Ti)(sub 3) thin film composition spreads on (100
Integrating sphere reflectometers are used in the majority of instruments used for spectral reflectance measurements of non-specular (scattering) samples

Currently the most demanding application of extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) optics is in lithography. A commercial extreme-ultraviolet stepper will likely have six or
Complex systems, such as manufacturing supply chains, are often modeled as a collection of interacting components with information flows between them. These
A basic scheme of direct, highly accurate dimensional measurements of nanostructures is presented. We have constructed a scanning tunneling microscope (STM)

While simulation has been successful in tying design and process planning into an iterative loop, machining has traditionally been a downstream terminus of the
The lack of interoperability and integration standards is severely hindering manufacturing productivity. To address this problem, a General Motion Control (GMC)
Cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS) is a highly sensitive spectroscopic technique that has been successfully applied to problems such as trace gas detection and
This paper reports results for uncertainties obtained using a Monte Carlo simulation of noise-parameter measurements. The simulator permits the computation of
The traditional concept of group delay usually arises in connection with an expansion of the phase delay for an electromagnetic pulse. In this context, the

We develop a method for using metrics in conjunction with repeat measurements to study nonlinear models. We illustrate this procedure by investigating the
Effective intrusion detection capability is an elusive goal, not solved easily or with a single mechanism. However, mobile software agents go a long way toward
The American Society of heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has been revising Standard 62,Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air

Current ASCE Standard provisions on wind loads for low-rise building design are based on wind tunnel tests conducted at the University of Western Ontario in the
The loading mechanisms of instrumented indentation machines are often calibrated using deadweights. In many cases, due to the geometry of the loading frame, the
The fiber-direction properties of a unidirectional laminate are generally considered to be fiber-dominated and the elastic modulus may be predicted by the Rule
During crystal growth or solidification of a binary alloy from a liquid phase, temperature and solute gradients are inherently present and can give rise to
Details of the statistical uncertainty analysis applied to key comparison CCEM-K2 are reported. Formulas were derived to determine the uncertainty of the
