Characterizing Task-Based Human-Robot Collaboration Safety in Manufacturing

February 27, 2015
Author(s)
Jeremy A. Marvel, Joseph A. Falco, Ilari Marstio
A new methodology for describing the safety of human-robot collaborations is presented. Taking a task-based perspective, a risk assessment of a collaborative robot system safety can be evaluated offline during the initial design stages. This risk

Competition Between the Inter- and Intra-sublattice Interactions in Yb 2 V 2 O 7

February 27, 2015
Author(s)
Z. L. Dun, J. Ma, H. B. Cao, Yiming Qiu, John R. Copley, T. Hong, M. Matsuda, J. G. Cheng, M. Lee, E. S. Choi, S. Johnston, H. D. Zhou
We studied single crystals of Yb 2V 2O 7 using dc and ac susceptibility measurements, elastic and inelastic neutron scattering measurements, and linear spin wave theory. The experimental data shows a ferromagnetic ordering of V 4+ ions at 70 K, a short

Measurement of the 240Pu/239Pu Mass Ratio Using a Transition-Edge-Sensor Microcalorimeter for Total Decay Energy Spectroscopy

February 27, 2015
Author(s)
Daniel R. Schmidt, Douglas A. Bennett, James P. Hays-Wehle, Daniel S. Swetz, Joel N. Ullom, Andrew Hoover, Mark Croce, Michael W. Rabin, Evelyn Bond, Terry Holesinger, Gerd Kunde, Laura Wolfsbereg
We have developed a new category of sensor for measurement of the 240Pu/239Pu mass ratio from aqueous solution samples with advantages over existing methods. Aqueous solution plutonium samples were evaporated and encapsulated inside of a gold foil absorber

Nonlinear ferromagnetic resonance shift in submicron Permalloy ellipses

February 27, 2015
Author(s)
Feng Guo, Lyubov Belova, Robert D. McMichael
We report a systematic study of nonlinearity in the ferromagnetic resonance of a series of submicron Permalloy ellipses with varying aspect ratios. We focus on the sign of the foldover, a resonance field shift or frequency shift that occurs with high

Chemical Pressure Tuning of URu 2 Si 2 via Isoelectronic Substitution of Ru with Fe

February 26, 2015
Author(s)
Pinaki Das, N. Kanchanavatee, Joel Helton, K. Huang, R. E. Baumbach, E. D. Bauer, B. D. White, V. W. Burnett, M. B. Maple, Jeffrey W. Lynn, M. Janoschek
We have used specific heat and neutron diffraction measurements on single crystals of UR 2-xFe xSi 2 for Fe concentrations X less than or equal to} 0.7 to establish that chemical substitution of Ru with Fe acts as "chemical pressure" P ch as previously

Disorder from Order Among Anisotropic Next-Nearest-Neighbor Ising Spin Chains in SrHo 2 O 4

February 26, 2015
Author(s)
J.-J. Wen, W. Tian, V. O. Garlea, S. M. Koohpayeh, T. M. McQueen, H.-F. Li, J.-Q. Yan, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, D. Vaknin, Collin L. Broholm
We describe why Ising spin chains with competing interactions in SrHo 2O 4 segregate into ordered and disordered ensembles at low temperatures (T). Using elastic neutron scattering, magnetization, and specific heat measurements, the two distinct spin

Low-Energy Phonons and Superconductivity in Sn 0.8In d0.2^Te

February 26, 2015
Author(s)
Zhijun Xu, J. A. Schneeloch, Ruidan Zhong, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Leland Harriger, R. J. Birgeneau, Genda Gu, J. M. Tranquada, Guangyong Xu
We present neutron scattering measurements on low energy phonons from a superconducting (T c 2.7 K) Sn 0.8In 0.2Te Single crystal sample. The longitudinal and a transverse acoustic phonon modes have been mapped out around the (002) Bragg peak for

The NIST Traceable Reference Material Program for Gas Standards

February 26, 2015
Author(s)
William D. Dorko, Michael E. Kelley, Franklin R. Guenther
A program is described by which the concentration of commercially produced gas mixtures may be related to gaseous primary standards or measurement systems maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The gaseous mixtures

An analytical framework for optimizing variant discovery from personal genomes

February 25, 2015
Author(s)
Justin M. Zook, Gareth Highnam, Jason Wang, Dean Kusler, Vinaya Vijayan, Nir Leibovich, David Mittelman
The standardization and performance testing of analysis tools is a prerequisite to widespread adoption of high-throughput sequencing, particularly in the clinic. However, performance testing is currently complicated by the paucity of standards and

Gradual Release of Strongly-Bound Nitric Oxide from Fe 2 (NO) 2 (dobdc)

February 24, 2015
Author(s)
Eric D. Bloch, Wendy L. Queen, Sachin Chavan, Paul S. Wheatley, Joseph M. Zadrozny, Russell E. Morris, Craig Brown, Carlo Lamberti, Silvia Bordiga, Jeffrey R. Long
An iron-based metal-organic framework featuring coordinatively-unsaturated redox-active metal cation sites, Fe 2(dobdc) (dobdc 4- = 1,4-dioxido-2,5-benzenedicarboxylate), is shown to strongly bond nitric oxide at 298 K. Adsorption isotherms indicate an

Infrared Optical Properties of Materials

February 24, 2015
Author(s)
Simon G. Kaplan, Leonard M. Hanssen, Raju V. Datla
This document describes the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIS) Facility at the Sensor Science Division (SSD) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to provide the infrared optical properties of materials (IROPM)

Risk Management for Replication Devices

February 23, 2015
Author(s)
Kelley L. Dempsey, Celia Paulsen
This publication provides guidance on protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information processed, stored, or transmitted on replication devices (RDs). It suggests appropriate countermeasures in the context of the System

Miki Watanabe, Katherine Meyer, Tyler Jackson, Tracey Johnston, Ed Johnson, Dan Bearden
Zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, in the Great Lakes is being monitored as a bio-indicator organism for environmental health effects by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Mussel Watch program. In order to monitor the environmental
