Deep Learning-Based Intrusion Detection With Adversaries

July 9, 2018
Author(s)
Zheng Wang
Deep neural networks have demonstrated their effectiveness in most machine learning tasks, with intrusion detection included. Unfortunately, recent research found that deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples in the image classification

Author(s)
Yuyin Song, Gerald J. FitzPatrick, Kang B. Lee, Avi M. Gopstein, Paul A. Boynton
Interoperability testing provides a means for achieving and assuring smart sensor data interoperability. Interoperability testbeds can provide the technical foundations for standards development for smart sensors in smart grids, including standards for

Sub-nanosecond Tuning of Microwave Resonators Fabricated on Ruddlesden-Popper Dielectric Thin Films

July 9, 2018
Author(s)
Aaron M. Hagerstrom, Xifeng Lu, Natalie Dawley, H. Nair, Jordi Mateu, Robert D. Horansky, Charles A. Little, James C. Booth, Christian J. Long
Voltage-tunable dielectric materials are widely used for microwave-frequency signal processing. Among tunable dielectric thin films, (SrTiO3)nSrO Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) superlattices have exceptionally low loss at high frequencies. This paper reports the

Transport of NIST Graphene Quantized Hall Devices and Comparison with AIST Gallium-Arsenide Quantized Hall Devices

July 9, 2018
Author(s)
Dean G. Jarrett, Takehiko Oe, Randolph E. Elmquist, Nobu Kaneko, Albert F. Rigosi, Bi Y. Wu, Hsin Y. Lee, Yanfei Yang
We report the results of a pilot study where two graphene quantized Hall resistance (QHR) devices made at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) were hand carried from the USA to the National Institute for Advanced Industrial Science and

A Self-Calibrated Transfer Standard for Microwave Calorimetry

July 8, 2018
Author(s)
Dazhen Gu, Xifeng Lu, Ben Jamroz, Dylan Williams, Billy F. Riddle, Xiaohai Cui
We develop a new calibration technique for measuring the correction factor of a calorimeter with a vector network analyzer. Based on a wave-parameter formulation, we develop analytic formulas for the correction-factor ($g$) and effective-efficiency ($\eta$

A Table-Top Graphene Quantized Hall Standard

Albert F. Rigosi, Alireza R. Panna, Shamith U. Payagala, George R. Jones Jr., Marlin E. Kraft, Mattias Kruskopf, Bi Y. Wu, Hsin Y. Lee, Yanfei Yang, Dean G. Jarrett, Randolph E. Elmquist, David B. Newell
We report the performance of a quantum standard based on epitaxial graphene maintained in a 5 T table-top cryocooler system. The ν = 2 resistance plateau, with a value of RK-90/2, is used to scale to 1 kΩ, allowing comparisons of the performance of a

Measurement of Leakage Current to Ground in Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard

July 8, 2018
Author(s)
Alain Rufenacht, Charles J. Burroughs, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
The voltage error associated with the leakage current of programmable Josephson voltage standards (PJVS) is one of the largest contributions to the uncertainty in direct comparison of voltage standards. Due to the parallel biasing scheme of the PJVS and

Thermal Noise Metrology with Time-Based Synthesis

July 8, 2018
Author(s)
Dazhen Gu
We present a new measurement technique of quantifying noise temperature based on temperature and time. A single pole double throw (SPDT) ultra-fast switch combines signal from outputs of two synchronized electromechanical (EM) switches. The input ports of

Towards Managing Age of Network State Information in Challenged Networks

July 8, 2018
Author(s)
Vladimir V. Marbukh
Age of Information (AoI) is a recently introduced metric for freshness of the real-time information, which requires frequent updates. This paper argues that AoI is useful not only for real-time network applications, but also for network state information

Alain Rufenacht, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Anna Fox, Steven B. Waltman, Robert E. Schwall, Paul Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz, Charles J. Burroughs
We present the first dc comparison of a programmable Josephson voltage standards and a pulse- driven Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer (JAWS) at 3 V. Both devices are mounted side- by-side on the cold stage of a cryocooler. The relative agreement

July 7, 2018
Author(s)
Patrick Egan, Jack A. Stone Jr.
In cell-based laser refractometers, interferometer pathlength uncertainty introduced by deformation and stress in the windows through which the beams pass can be the chief factor limiting measurement accuracy. The fractional contribution of pathlength
