New Optical Metrology at NIST for Semiconductor Lithography

Author(s)
Ulf Griesmann, Tony L. Schmitz, Johannes A. Soons
Optical semiconductor lithography in the deep ultraviolet (DUV) and next generation lithographies such as extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) create many new...

Parallel Cantilever Biaxial Micro-Positioner

Author(s)
E Amatucci, Nicholas Dagalakis
The Parallel Cantilever Biaxial Micro-Positioner (PCBMP) has a novel configuration and design in that it has two parallel sets of cantilever beam flexures. This...

Hierarchical Planning Algorithms

A novel method for communicating commands in hierarchical planning control is presented. This new method can be used to warranty that plans created will be...

Road Detection and Tracking for Autonomous Mobile Robots

Author(s)
Tommy Chang, Tsai Hong Hong, Michael O. Shneier, C E. Rasmussen
As part of the Army's Demo III project, a sensor-based system has been developed to identify roads and to enable a mobile robot to drive along them. A ladar...

A Hierarchical World Model for an Autonomous Scout Vehicle

Author(s)
Stephen B. Balakirsky, Tommy Chang, Tsai H. Hong, Elena R. Messina, Michael O. Shneier
This paper describes a world model that combines a variety of sensed inputs and a priori information and is used to generate on-road and off-road autonomous...

QoS Routing Under Adversarial Binary Uncertainty

Author(s)
Vladimir V. Marbukh
A cost-based admission control and routing scheme admits an arriving request on the minimum cost route if this cost does not exceed the cost of the request, and...

Overview of the TREC 2001 Question Answering Track

Author(s)
Ellen M. Voorhees
The TREC question answering track is an effort to bring the benefits of large-scale evaluation to bear on the question answering problem. In its third year, the...

6-Degree of Freedom Tri-Stage Micro Positioner

Author(s)
Nicholas G. Dagalakis, E Amatucci
