Head Tracking Using Stereo

Author(s)
D Russakoff, Martin Herman
Head tracking is an important primitive for smart environments and perceptual user interfaces where the poses and movements of body parts need to be determined

Workability of Self-Compacting Concrete

Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, L Brower, C H. Ozyildirim, J A. Daczko
The slump test is widely used to evaluate the workability of Concrete. However it has serious drawbacks, especially for self-compacting concrete (SCC). Other

Lumped-Element Models for On-Wafer Calibration

Author(s)
Dave K. Walker, Raian K. Kaiser, Dylan F. Williams, Kevin J. Coakley
We examine electrical models for lumped-element impedance standards used in on-wafer network-analyzer calibrations. We illustrate the advantages of using models

What Is This Thing Called Conformance?

Author(s)
Lynne S. Rosenthal, Mary C. Brady
XML developers claim they do it. OASIS, NIST, and W3C are building it. And, standards often require it. What is it?Conformance is usually defined as a way to

Agent-Based Services for B2B Electronic Commerce

Author(s)
Elizabeth N. Fong, Nenad Ivezic, Thomas R. Rhodes, Y Peng
The potential of agent-based systems has not been realized yet, in part, because of the lack of understanding of how the agent technology supports industrial

Optimization of an Annular Jet Commercial Gas-Metal Atomizer

Author(s)
Stephen D. Ridder, Aaron N. Johnson, Pedro I. Espina, Frank S. Biancaniello, G J. DelCorso
The performance of a commercial gas-metal atomizer was studied using a number of previously published research techniques. initially the flow was visualized

Editor's Preface

Author(s)
Kalman D. Migler, S G. Hatzikiriakos
The work of J.R. Rice has been central to developments in solid mechanics over the last thirty years. This volume collects 21 articles on deformation and

Chlorination in Combustion Systems

Author(s)
Wing Tsang, Valeri I. Babushok
This paper is concerned with the formation of polychorinated organics in the gas phase in combustion systems. The results are derived from simulation studies

Mismatch Corrections for Electro-Optic Sampling Systems

Author(s)
Dylan F. Williams, Paul D. Hale, Tracy S. Clement, Juanita M. Morgan
We develop and apply frequency-domain mismatch corrections to a temporal electro-optic sampling system. We use these corrections to characterize the magnitude

Development of Arrays of TES X-ray Detectors

Author(s)
Steven Deiker, James A. Chervenak, Gene C. Hilton, Martin Huber, Kent D. Irwin, John M. Martinis, Sae Woo Nam, David A. Wollman
Both the x-ray astrophysics and microanalysis communities have a need for large format arrays of high-spectral-resolution x-ray detectors. To meet this need, we

SIM Comparison of Electrical Units

Author(s)
Harold Sanchez, J. Cioffi, H. Laiz, D. Bennett, H. Ferreira, R. Ortega, Nile M. Oldham, Mark E. Parker
An international comparison of dc and low-frequency electrical units conducted between 19 laboratories in 16 countries in the Americas is described. The

Radiated Power Measurements in Reverberation Chambers

Author(s)
Galen H. Koepke, John M. Ladbury
The electromagnetic reverberation chamber is widely used as a test facility to generate complex fields for interference and compatibility measurements. The

Directivity of the Test Device in EMC Measurements1

Author(s)
Galen H. Koepke, David A. Hill, John M. Ladbury
We present a statistical theory for estimating the directive characteristics of unintentional emitters based on the electrical size of the device. We compare
