In this paper, we describe a technique based on optical holography which allows determination of the amplitude and phase of an unknown antenna on a near-field
Experimental data were collected for the purpose of validating multiphase combustion models and submodels. A spray combustor was fabricated that permits well

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) watt balance experiment recently made a new determination of Planck's constant with a relative
Electronic front-projection display specifications are often based on measurements made in ideal darkroom conditions. However, not everyone has access to such a
Electron-molecule collisions are among the most fundamental processes in gas discharges. They are also the precursors of the ions and the radicals which drive
Relative intensities and translational ion-flux energy distributions are presented for negative ions sampled from Townsend discharges in O 2, SF 6, and CF 4 for

This paper discusses the design and use of an apparatus for evaluating the effectiveness of liquid fire suppression agents as possible replacements for halon
A hybrid measurement application of the Apache/Linux Measurement Toolkit (ALMT) and the MultiKron_II system performance chip was developed to create a fine
A new luminous flux calibration facility using a 2.5 m integrating sphere has been developed at NIST. The Absolute Integrating-Sphere Method, developed for
An industry lead effort to create a protocol for the interoperation of MPI (Message Passing Interface) implementations has been ongoing since March of 1997
This paper describes the development of the Apache-Linux Measurement Toolkit (ALMT), which is a highly accurate measurement tool for evaluating the performance
This paper describes the dynamic load-balancing support available in DParLib, a library of MPI-basedroutines that support the data-parallel style of programming

This paper addresses the optimization and performance of survivability strategies used in the next generation of high-capacity optical transport networks based
In this paper we propose a new approach to address multimedia consumption schedule for hybrid networks and terminals having variable amount of resources. The

For the purpose of investigation of electromagnetic interference (EMI) mechanisms in PWM inverters, empirical models and comparative experiments were studied in
Acoustic microscopy has been used to measure material properties since the 1980s. The velocity of the leaky surface wave can be accurately determined from the V
The Office of Naval Research has sponsored a collaborative effort between the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, Advanced Technology and Research
We propose a queueing model of the reverse link from mobiles to the base station in a single cell of a cellular DS-CDMA system. Approximation of independent
Much has been written about embedded systems and how they will be affected by the year 2000 problem. During the first 6 months of 1999, a significant amount of
