The recent release of ISO 14405-1 has provided designers with a richer set of specification tools for the size of part features, so that various functional requirements can be captured with greater fidelity. However, these tools also bring new challenges
In Seebeck coefficient metrology, the present diversity in apparatus design, acquisition methodology, and contact geometry, has resulted in conflicting materials data that complicates the interlaboratory confirmation of reported high efficiency

Dome-input pyroelectric radiometers with different black coatings were developed to extend the spectral responsivity scale from near infrared (NIR) to 20 μm. The reflective dome with shiny gold-coating has been known to be an efficient light trap to
This paper constructs a closed-form solution to the robot-world/hand-eye calibration paper using the Kronecker product. In other words, it constructs the optimal X and Y to solve AX = YB. Additionally, this paper provides errors metrics that will measure

In this manuscript a series of cubic silsequioxane monomers with their eight vertices functionalized with different organic ligands terminated with triethoxysilane groups were acid hydrolyzed, spin cast into thin films, and then vitrified into hard
Several new generation transfer- and working-standard illuminance meters and tristimulus colorimeters have been developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to measure all kinds of light sources with low uncertainty. The spectral

In order to enable radio frequency (RF) data collection from a micromechanical system designed to strain nanomaterials, a coplanar electrical waveguide has been integrated with an actuated microscale stage. RF (100 MHz to 20 GHz) admittance measurements
Measurement scientists work in calibration laboratories throughout the world. Yet, there are few university level courses available that cover the critical topics needed for performing and analyzing precision measurements at the desired level. Many
