This user's guide will assist software users in the understanding of the theory and procedures underlying the High-dimensional Empirical Linear Prediction (HELP) Toolbox, developed for use with the MATLAB(r) mathematical software environment. The HELP
The use of video conferencing equipment used with the Internet to facilitate international comparisons and collaborations is described. The system employs standard hardware and software at a number of National Metrology Institutes within the Americas and a
The effects of the number of histogram bins on histogram-derived pulse parameters of step-like waveforms is examined. An empirical method for selecting the optimal number of bins is described.

Distortions in the timebases of equivalent-time oscilloscopes and digitizers cause distortions of waveforms sampled by them. This paper reports on a comparison of two methods of characterizing timebase distortion, using pure sine-wave inputs of known
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Modes of Operation Validation System (MOVS) specifies the procedures involved in validating implementations of the DES algorithm in FIPS PUB 46-2 , The Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the
