As automation of manufacturing processes becomes more widespread, manufacturing systems are becoming more and more software dependent. At the same time, the
We present the theoretical basis for a novel way of studying and representing the long time behavior of finite dimensional maps. It is based on the sample paths
Open architecture technology is ushering in new advances in the world of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines. Yet, some major benefits of open
This annotated bibliography contains all of the completed studies of the ATP prepared by the staff of the Economic Assessment Office and its contractors.
Downsampling and upsampling are widely used in image display, and jointly used in compression and progressive transmission. In this paper we examine new down
Parallel solution of 1-indexed recurrence relations has received much attention, but no effort has been made to design parallel algorithms for multi-indexed
With the explosion of imaging applications, and due to the massive amounts of imagery data, data compression is essential. Lossless compression also called
Pressed polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder is commonly used as a reflectance standard for bi-directional and hemispherical geometry. The radiometric and
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) supplies calibrations of IR photodetector's spectral radiant power response from 1.8 υm to 20 υm. The
The accuracy of tristimulus colorimeters can be increased by using detector standards instead of traditional lamp standards for calibration. After high accuracy
The Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory (EEEL), working in concert with other NIST Laboratories, is providing measurement and other generic
On November 16, 1990, the United States Congress enacted the Fastener Quality Act (FQA), P.L. 101-592 (the Act). The Act was amended in 1996 by Section 11 of P
