Optical tracking systems are used in a wide range of fields. The market for optical tracking systems has dramatically increased over the past several years to $1.2B revenue in 2014. This paper describes the new ASTM E3064 Standard test method procedures
The National Institute of Standards and Technology coordinates the Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) for laboratories that measure fat- and water-soluble vitamins and carotenoids in human serum and plasma. This report describes
State and local weights and measures jurisdictions or other testing laboratories that use transfer standards developed using the air-oven reference methods (referred to as air-oven reference standards) to test commercial grain moisture meters, collect

It is increasingly common for language specifications to separate visual forms (concrete syntax) from underlying concepts (abstract syntax), enabling languages to define multiple visual forms for the same underlying concepts, and for the same visual form
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) began to offer proficiency testing for Solid-State Lighting (SSL) products through a Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) in 2010. The MAP program provided proficiency testing complimenting

Cell therapy products (CTPs) need quantitative, validated, and robust assays to support informed decision making during their development, manufacturing, and regulation. These products, the materials involved in their production and the methods for
Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) were one of the earliest applications for mobile robots. The first AGVs were deployed in the 1950's to transport materials in large facilities and warehouses. Mobile robot capabilities have advanced significantly in the
A workshop was held at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, called: "Autonomous Industrial Vehicles: From the Laboratory to the Factory Floor." Nine research papers were presented followed by a discussion session summarized in this
