Machine tools degrade during operations, yet accurately detecting degradation of machine components such as linear axes is typically a manual and time-consuming
A new series of standards has recently been published by IEEE defining waveguide for use at millimeter-wave and terahertz frequencies. The series comprises

At PQCRYPTO 2014, Porras, Baena and Ding introduced ZHFE, an interesting new technique for multivariate post-quantum encryption. The scheme is a generalization
Recently, by an interesting confluence, multivariate schemes with the minus modifier have received attention as candidates for multivariate encryption. Among
One application in post-quantum cryptography that appears especially difficult is security for low-power or no-power devices. One of the early champions in this
Robot calibration and performance will degrade if proper maintenance isn't performed. There have been challenges for manufacturers to optimize the maintenance

In this paper we report on the development of a system for managing a repository and conducting analysis and optimization on manufacturing performance models
The magnetic suspension mass comparator is a unique system for calibrating kilogram artifacts between vacuum and air. While the MSMC allows for direct vacuum-to

In this paper we describe measurements of wireless propagation characteristics to develop path loss models in industrial environments. The models for path loss
Three-axis MEMS accelerometers are typically characterized in terms of their cross-sensitivity matrix. We present an analysis and protocol to characterize them
