Fully automated or semi-automated scanning electron microscopes (SEM) are now commonly used in semiconductor production and other forms of manufacturing...
The theme of this symposium is fire risk and hazard assessment research application. We tend to focus on the tools which in themselves are means to some end...
A good metrology system in the automated environment must (1) measure the three dimensional position and attitude of any component to a reasonable degree of...
This paper presents a measurement method that characterizes lossy printed multiconductor transmission lies embedded in transitions, connectors, or packages with...
The contents of this volume comprise the proceedings of the 1997 high Temperature Superconductor Symposium titled Impact of Recent Advances in synthesis and...
Recent earthquakes have shown that buildings designed for life safety could sustain severe damage to structural and nonstructural elements and building contents...
We analyze three accurate broadband techniques for measuring the complex permittivity of dielectric substrates using coplanar waveguide transmission-line...
There is an increased awareness of the benefits of modeling imprecision in engineering problems, but success is limited by two problems associated with the...
We demonstrate a 980 nm-pumped Er- and the first Er/Yb-doped waveguide laser in Ti:LiNbO 3. The devices were fabricated on x-cut LiNbO 3, with the guides...
