We will present some results from the two Bose-Einstein condensation experiments at NIST Gaithersburg (on sodium and rubidium). We investigate the behaviour of
Bob Scace has just told us about the importance of global standards in the development of semiconductor technology-global standards not only as foundations, but
Good Afternoon. The title of my talk basically reflects the trend in technology in manufacturing over the last 20 years. We at NIST have done our part to try to
Part II is concentrated upon the intelligent systems equipped with subsystems that provide for a comparatively highly sophisticated faculties of intelligence

A series of fire tests were conducted to characterize the potential hazard from ignition of men's suits hanging on racks. The fire test scenario was selected as
A C++ object class library has been developed to distribute models for polarized light scattering from surfaces. It is the intent of this library to allow
This ITL Bulletin describes two projects in the computer forensics arena and provides guidance on the use of the products developed from them. The first project
The TREC question answering track is an effort to bring the benefits of large-scale evaluation to bear on the question answering problem. In its third year, the
The TREC-9 Interactive Track has the goal of investigating interactive information retrieval by examining the process as well as the results. In TREC-9, six
AutoBid is designed to help police fleet administrators select the patrol vehicle that is best suited to the needs of their department. The system is based on
