The calculation of task specific measurement uncertainty when using coordinate measuring machines is an important and challenging task. Current methods to
Modern manufacturing enterprises must collaborate with a large number of suppliers to design and produce their products. Management of these supply chains is
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is developing a dimensional pitch standard covering the range 1 ?m to 10 mm, intended for the calibration of
Recently developed microform measurement techniques have reduced the measurement uncertainties in the geometry of Rockwell diamond indenters. In this paper, we

In this paper, we provide experimental, numerical and analytical evidence suggesting that the onset of segmented chip formation is the result of a Hopf
The performance of high quality optics relies heavily on their geometrical properties of surface finish and figure. The surface finish consists of the short
A proposal to develop the Industrial Applications of Scanned Probe Microscopy (IASPM) workshops, which NIST has co-sponsored with Sematech, the ASTM E42.14
In 1988, MIL-STD-45662A adopted the 4:1 Test Uncertainty Ratio (TUR); this was later incorporated into the ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 standard in 1994. However, in 1992
