Interoperability across emerging visualization modalities, including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), remains a challenge with respect to industrial applications. One critical issue relates to the lack of standard approaches for
The ASTM Interlaboratory Study (ILS) #1547 (Determining T0,X at Elevated Loading Rates) was launched in 2019 under the leadership of MPA Stuttgart (Germany). The NIST contribution consisted in 80 low-temperature fracture toughness tests at elevated loading

We describe the 15 kg/s water flow calibration standard operated by the Fluid Metrology Group of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to calibrate liquid flow meters for customers. The 15 kg/s standard is a dynamic, gravimetric, liquid
This guide addresses electrical and electronic consumer products, including those that will come into contact with food. In addition, it includes electrical and electronic products used in the workplace as well as electrical and electronic medical devices
This paper applies technology-transfer efficiency metrics—filing rate and transfer rate— proposed in the academic literature on technology transfer to data on invention disclosures, patents, and licenses from the National Institute of Standards and
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is a nonregulatory agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. One of the agency's responsibilities is to develop industry standards and guidelines, which are published as NIST Technical Series publications
