A facility for measuring the light scattered by smokes as a function of the scattering angle and linear polarization has been developed. By using monosize
The extinguishment of diffusion flames on two types of burners-an opposed-flow Tsuji burner and an axisymmetric burner with a surrounding coflow-by thermal
Laser light scattering and thermophoretic sampling have been used to investigate particle formation in a methane-air counterflow diffusion flames inhibited by

Durability, in terms of service life, is often related to the failure due to service conditions of an unacceptable percentage of a product population. In many
This paper describes applications of and infrastructural technologies for telepresence capabilities within the context of the Information-Based Manufacturing
There are two types of optical sources whose modulation can be measured or calculated from fundamental principles: the hererodyne beat between two single-

We give an overview of two issues that are important in quantitative X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger-electron spectroscopy (AES). First, we
The Object Management Group (the consortium that issues the Common Object Request Broker Architecture and Unified Modeling Language standards) is making the
As part of the WETICE 2001 conference, the workshop on Evaluating Collaborative Enterprises continued from its debut last year exploring the issues surrounding
We show that the dispersion of multiple cascaded components can be determined from a single low-coherence interferometric measurement. This measurement is not
We have surveyed potential references for 1300 nm and L-band wavelength calibration. We have developed a 1314 nm methane reference for our internal calibration
