Certification of the phase compositions of the NIST Reference Clinkers often is based upon more than one independent method. The current certificate values were
We summarize measurement results on many polymer, ceramic, and composite substrate and packaging materials. Measurements on low-loss materials are obtained from
We describe a real-time, component-based system for an inspection application. We chose the inspection application and the accompanying task (or scenario) so
