For the past decade, lightpipe radiation theromoeters (LPRTs) have become the sensors of choice in rapid thermal processing (RTP) applications because of their...
The results of a molecular dynamics simulation study of the structure of the solvation shell about sodium, chlorine, and strontium ions in water are reported...
The influences of form errors on hardness performance of Rockwell diamond indenter are discussed. Experimental results are introduced. The Finite Element...
Building on previous work, a rapid, automated, non-mechanical measurement system for spectral characterization of polarization dependent loss is presented. A...

Lightning related damage stories abound, but it is not always possible to document precisely the mechanisms and scenarios involved when timely, first-hand...
Low frequency replication (600 kHz to 18 MHz) of a high frequency waveform (1 GHz to 30 GHz) was achieved using a photoconductive-based optical-microwave (OM)...
The proliferation of surge-protective devices and switch-mode power supplies has radically changed the surge environment in low-voltage AC mains. Monitoring...
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...

We have determined the relative abundances and energy distributions of positive ions in high density plasmas generated in CHF 3, C 2F 6 and CH 2FCF 3 and their...
We have comprehensively reviewed and critically assessed the state of knowledge on electron-interaction cross sections and electron-swarm parameters in SF 6. In...
This paper develops extended Kalman filtering algorithms for a generic Gough-Stewart platform assuming realistically available sensors such as length sensors...
