A special purpose ac voltage divider system with ratios of 600, 480, 360, 277, and 240 V to 120 V has been developed to extend the range of primary electric
An experimental method has been devised for imaging the acoustic surface wave slowness (inverse of the phase velocity) in anisotropic solids. This technique
A compact, transportable, Josephson voltage standard, first reported at CPEM96, has now been field tested and has had ten months of use as a primary standard by

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear particles in replaced joints have been linked to biochemical reactions that eventually lead to loosening
The behavior of coherent field-induced hybrids of field-free rotor states (pendular states) is studied in energy regions where intramolecular vibrational energy
We have developed a novel, enriched potassium source for use in trapping and cooling of the fermionic isotope 40K. The source is clean, easily controllable, and

X rays were discovered by Roentgen in 1895, just over 100 years ago. Early investigations by Roentgen himself indicated that prisms, lenses, and mirrors were
We used a magneto-optical Kerr effect microscope to measure 180° magnetization reversal in a high coercivity CoCr10Ta4 thin film subjected to nanosecond field

To Determine the thermodynamic role of binding of an operon to cAMP receptor protein (CRP) in the activation of transcription, isothermal titration calorimetry
The Wigner-Seitz local atomic cell construction procedure, provides a topological means for comparing series of related structures in terms of the number and
We address two important performance limitations of commonly available spatial light modulations. First we present a method for the determination of modulation
Three-terminal contract resistances of 180 contacts on 15 quantum Hall effect (QHE) devices were measured as a function of current at the center of the I = 4

The last remaining SI base unit defined by an artifact is the kilogram. The NIST watt balance has been designed to measure the ratio of mechanical to electrical
The selection a working fluid as a refrigerant for the vapor compression cycle is discussed. For thermodynamic performance to be optimized particular attention
It is often assumed that commercial and institutional buildings are fairly airtight and that envelopee air leakage does not have a significant impact on energy
A velocity Verlet algorithm for velocity dependent forces is described for modeling a suspension of rigid body inclusions. The rigid body motion is determined

A series of [Co(x ML)/Cu(17 ML)]100 multilayers were electrodeposited on Si(0 0 1) substrates covered with Cu seed layers. Magnetic hysteresis loops for lms
The mismatch between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the silicon chip and the organic substrate has been mitigated through the practice of using
