The polarization and intensity of light scattered by polystyrene latex (PSL) and copper spheres with diameters of approximately 100 nm depostied onto silicon
An important measure of the opacity of a solid with respect to monoenergetic electrons in a solid is the effective attenuation length (EAL). However, there is
Experimental techniques and density functional theory have been employed to identify the surface composition and structure of SnO 2(101). The stoichiometric Sn
Mass customization has been identified as a competitive strategy by an increasing number of companies. Family-based product design has been recognized as an

This paper describes a threefold method of testing the performance of an array-based ultrasonic tool for nondestructive testing of spot welds. The tool is
The unwanted sensitivity of a plate pyroelectric detector to airborne acoustic noise is critically dependent on the mounting conditions for the plate. We
Two experiments are reported to show how some lingering inherited misconceptions about the applications of surge-protective devices (SPDs) can lead to erroneous

The key to real-time intelligent control lies in the knowledge models that the system contains. We argue that there needs to be a more rigorous approach to
A novel cable-based metrology system is presented wherein six cables are connected in parallel from groundmounted string pots to the moving object or tool of

A quantum bit is a closed two-dimensional Hilbert space, but often experimental systems have three or more energy levels. In a Josephson phase qubit the energy
The microcalorimeter energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer, the silicon drift detector (SDD), and polycapillary x-ray optics are recent developments that have
