A Simulation Platform to Study the Human Body Communication Channel

October 7, 2019
Author(s)
Kamran Sayrafian, Katjana Krhac, Gregory Noetscher, Dina Simunic
Human Body Communication (HBC) is an attractive low complexity technology with promising applications in wearable biomedical sensors. In this paper, a simple parametric model based on the finite-element method (FEM) using a full human body model is

Optimized heat transfer at exceptional points in quantum circuits

October 7, 2019
Author(s)
Matti Partanen, Jan Goetz, K-Y Tan, Kassius Kohvakka, Vasilii Sevriuk, Russell Lake, Roope J. Kokkoniemi, Joni Ikonen, Dibyendu Hazra, Akseli Makinen, Eric Hyyppa, Leif Gronberg, Visa Vesterinen, Matti Silveri, Mikko Mottonen
Superconducting quantum circuits are potential candidates to realize a large-scale quantum computer. The envisioned large density of integrated components, however, requires a proper thermal management and control of dissipation. To this end, it is

On Wackers Essential Equation in the Extrapolation Measurement Technique

October 6, 2019
Author(s)
Alexey J. Yuffa
The generalized three-antenna method is a standard method for measuring on-axis gain and polarization of an antenna without a priori knowledge. The cornerstone of the method is the use of the extrapolation technique and the key relationship in the

Appraising the extensibility of optics-based metrology for emerging materials

October 4, 2019
Author(s)
Bryan M. Barnes, Mark-Alexander Henn, Martin Y. Sohn, Hui Zhou, Richard M. Silver
To advance computational capabilities beyond conventional scaling limitations, novel device architectures enabled by emerging materials may be required. Optics-based methodologies, central to modern-day process control, will be pursued by the

Formal Methods for Statistical Software

October 4, 2019
Author(s)
Paul E. Black
"Statistical software" encompasses several distinct classes of software. This report explains what formal methods, tools, and approaches may be able to increase assurance of results of using statistical software and implementing differential privacy. To

Network Charter: Manufacturing USA Program (Rev October 2019)

October 4, 2019
Author(s)
Michael F. Molnar
Under the authority of the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act (RAMI) of 2014, the Secretary of Commerce established the Network for Manufacturing Innovation, generally called the Manufacturing USA network. The network, along with its

Role of Firebrand Combustion in Large Outdoor Fire Spread

October 4, 2019
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki, Michael Gollner, A C. Fernandez-Pello
Large outdoor fires are an increasing danger to the built environment. Wildfires that spread into com- munities, labeled as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, are an example of large outdoor fires. Other examples of large outdoor fires are urban fires

Light-Shift Suppression with Novel Variants of Adaptive Ramsey Spectroscopy

October 3, 2019
Author(s)
Moshe Shuker, Juniper Pollock, John Kitching, Elizabeth Donley, Rodolphe Boudot, V. I. Yudin, A. V. Taichenachev
We present a brief review of the rapidly growing field of autobalanced Ramsey spectroscopy followed by a detailed discussion and review of two novel techniques that were developed and tested in our laboratory: displaced frequency-jump Ramsey spectroscopy

Multipath Mitigation from FM-AM Correlation

October 3, 2019
Author(s)
Archita Hati, Craig W. Nelson
Multipath is one of the limiting factors for an accurate outdoor and indoor localization. We proposed an approach that uses a multipath mitigation derived from the undesired frequency-to- amplitude conversion of a frequency modulated (FM) signal

Social and Economic Components of Resilient Multi-Hazard Building Design

October 3, 2019
Author(s)
Katherine Johnson, Juan Fung, Siamak Sattar, Christopher Segura, Therese P. McAllister, Steven McCabe
In 2017, U.S. damages from natural hazard events exceeded $300B, suggesting that current targets for building performance do not sufficiently mitigate loss. The significant costs borne by individuals, insurers, and government do not include impacts from

Ultrathin Wetting Layer-Free Plasmonic Gold Films

October 3, 2019
Author(s)
Robert Lemasters, Cheng Zhang, Manoj Manjare, Wenqi Zhu, Junyeob Song, Sergei Urazhdin, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Hayk Harutyunyan
Ultrathin gold films are attractive for plasmonic and metamaterial devices, thanks to their useful optical and optoelectronic properties. However, deposition of ultrathin continuous Au films of few nanometer thickness is challenging and generally requires

Calibration

October 2, 2019
Author(s)
Lane C. Sander
In the context of chemical metrology, calibration is the process of relating a known quantity of an analyte to the corresponding measured instrumental response through a mathematical relationship. Calibration permits the assignment of analyte levels in
