Both ignition and ffame spread on solid fuels are processes that not only are of considerable scientific interest but that also have important fire safety...
This paper investigates the accuracy of on-wafer scattering-parameter calibrations at the probe tips. Data show the extent to which certain probe-tip...
This paper investigates the effects of variations in sheet resistance, geometry, distance from the probe tip, and fabrication processes on the impedance of...
This paper introduces a new method for the characterization of transmission lines fabricated on lossy or dispersive dielectrics. The method, which is more...

A hierarchical architecture is described for a robot integrated into a real-time sensory interactive factory control system. In this architecture, high level...
Molecular dynamics modeling and experimental measurements are used to identify factors which reduce flammability by promoting the formation of heat resistant...
Various flammability properties of a silicone-containing polycarbonate sample were measured and compared with those of a pure polycarbonate sample. The results...

A comprehansive methodology has been developed for obtaining and using smoke toxicity data for fire hazard analysis. The methodology comprises: determination...
Recent experimental and modeling efforts designed to characterize the formation of carbon monoxide (CO) in enclosure fires which were funded by or performed at...
While Mandatory Access Controls (MAC) are appropriate for multilevel secure military applications, Discretionary Access Controls (DAC) are often perceived as...
