SMAT: Synchronous Multimedia and Annotation Tool

Author(s)
Michelle P. Steves, Mudumbai Ranganathan, Emile L. Morse
We describe the design and use of SMAT (Synchronous Multimedia and Annotation Tool), a tool designed to be part of a scientific collaboratory for use in a

Micromechanical Detectors for Ferromagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Author(s)
John M. Moreland, Pavel Kabos, Albrecht Jander, M. Loehndorf, Robert McMichael, C G. Lee
We demonstrate micromechanical detection of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in thin magnetic films. FMR spectroscopy is performed on nanometer scale samples

Some Enlightening Case Histories on Lightning Damage

Author(s)
T. S. Key, D. Nastasi, K. O. Phipps, Francois D. Martzloff
Lightning related damage stories abound, but it is not always possible to document precisely the mechanisms and scenarios involved when timely, first-hand

Collisional Decomposition of SF6

Author(s)
R. Champion, I. V. Dyakov, Yicheng Wang
Insulating gas mixtures containing SF 6 have been promoted to serve as replacements for pure SF 6 in order to reduce SF 6 atmospheric emission. It has been

Electron Interactions with SF6

Author(s)
Loucas G. Christophorou, James K. Olthoff
We have comprehensively reviewed and critically assessed the state of knowledge on electron-interaction cross sections and electron-swarm parameters in SF 6. In

Meeting the Metrology Needs of the Microdisplay Industry

Author(s)
Paul A. Boynton, Edward F. Kelley, John M. Libert
Measuring the optical characteristics of microdisplays produce challenges to traditional display metrology. When using light-measuring devices to measure scenes

Precision Measurement With Gravity

Author(s)
