Chromatographic Sample Collection from Two Phase (gas + liquid) Flows

October 12, 2011
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Bret Windom
A particularly challenging sample presentation in analytical chemistry is a flowing stream that consists of both a gas and liquid phase, in the situation in which an analysis is needed for both phases, separately. In these cases, the vapor and liquid must

Stirred-Reactor Simulations of Enhanced Reaction in the Presence of Fire Suppressants

October 12, 2011
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Fumiaki Takahashi, Viswanath R. Katta, Oliver Meier
Several agents are under consideration to replace CF3Br in suppressing aircraft cargo bays fires. In a Federal Aviation Administration performance test simulating the explosion of an aerosol can, however, the replacements, when added at sub-inerting

Ten years of computer forensic tool testing

October 12, 2011
Author(s)
James R. Lyle, Barbara Guttman, Richard Ayers
The Computer Forensic Tool Testing (CFTT) project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been active since 2000. The project develops methodologies for testing computer forensic software tools by the creation of general tool

U.S. Commercial Building Airtightness Requirements and Measurements

October 12, 2011
Author(s)
Steven J. Emmerich, Andrew K. Persily
In 1998, Persily published a review of commercial and institutional building airtightness data that found significant levels of air leakage and debunked the “myth” of the airtight commercial building. Since that time, the U.S. National Institute of

Magnetic Field Tuning of Antiferromagnetic Yb 3 Pt 4

October 11, 2011
Author(s)
L. S. Wu, Y. Janssen, C. Marques, M. C. Bennett, M. S. Kim, K. Park, Songxue Chi, Jeffrey W. Lynn, G. Lorusso, G. Biasiol, M.C. Aronson
We present measurements of the specific heat, magnetization, magnetocaloric effect and magnetic neutron diffraction carried out on single cyrstals of antiferromagnetic Yb 3Pt 4, where highly localized Yb moments order at T N = 2.4 K in zero field. The

Micro-scale measurement and modeling of stress in silicon surrounding a tungsten-filled through-silicon via

October 11, 2011
Author(s)
Ryan P. Koseski, William Alexander Osborn, Stephan J. Stranick, Frank W. DelRio, Mark D. Vaudin, Thuy Dao, Vance H. Adams, Robert F. Cook
The stress in silicon surrounding a tungsten-filled through-silicon via (TSV) is measured using confocal Raman microscopy line scans across the TSV both before and after etch removal of an oxide stack used as a mask to define the TSV during fabrication

Mid-infrared upconversion spectroscopy based on a Yb:fiber frequency laser

October 11, 2011
Author(s)
Scott A. Diddams, Todd Johnson
We present a system for molecular spectroscopy using a mid-infrared broadband frequency comb source with near infrared detection. Difference frequency generation of a Yb:fiber frequency comb produced a mid-infrared (MIR) comb tunable from 2.7 − 4.7 υm

Morphological Changes Driven by Nanofibrous Scaffolds Induce Marrow Stromal Cell Osteogenesis

October 11, 2011
Author(s)
Carl G. Simon Jr., Kaushik Chatterjee, Christopher K. Tison, Girish Kumar, Patrick S. Pine, Marc L. Salit, Jennifer H. McDaniel, Marian F. Young
Cells are sensitive to tissue scaffold architecture and these cell-material interactions drive cell functions critical in tissue regeneration. Results presented here demonstrate that nanofiber scaffolds force primary human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs

Potential release pathways, environmental fate, and ecological risks of carbon nanotubes

October 11, 2011
Author(s)
Elijah J. Petersen, Andrew Whelton, Liwen Zhang, Qingguo Huang, Nasir M. Uddin, Nikolai Mattison, Denis O'Carroll, Theodore Henry, Tinh Nguyen, Richard D. Holbrook, Kai Chen
Carbon nanotubes are currently being used in a number of consumer products, and exponentially higher production masses and a broader range of applications are expected in future years. However, the data on the environmental release pathways, environmental

Real-time Feedback for Usable Fingerprint Systems

October 11, 2011
Author(s)
Mary F. Theofanos, Brian C. Stanton, Yee-Yin Choong, Haiying Guan
Compared with traditional password and other identification methods, biometrics like face, iris, and fingerprint for automatic personal identification/verification have many advantages, and are increasingly gaining popularity in all kinds of applications

A coherent dual-comb spectrometer at 3.4 ym for accurate line center measurement of methane

October 10, 2011
Author(s)
Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Alexander M. Zolot, Nathan R. Newbury
Doppler-broadened methane lines around 3.4 υm are measured with a coherent dual-comb spectrometer with an absolute-frequency axis. The obtained accuracy of the line-center frequency is 300 kHz, about 1 part per thousand of the linewidth.

Dual-comb-based characterization of rapidly tuned lasers

October 10, 2011
Author(s)
Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Esther Baumann, Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury, Zeb W. Barber, Peter Roos
We demonstrate a technique to calibrate the instantaneous frequency versus time from a rapidly tuned cw laser. Our dual-comb-based spectrometer can measure optical waveforms tuned at 1500-THz/s rates over 5-THz bandwidths at high precision.

Radiation, Multimode Propagation, and Substrate Modes in W-Band CPW Calibrations

October 10, 2011
Author(s)
Dylan F. Williams, Franz-Joseph Schmuckle, Ralf Dorner, G.N. Phung, Wolfgang Heinrich, Uwe Arz
We investigate the degradation of the accuracy of coplanar waveguide calibration standards at higher frequencies due to multi-mode propagation, substrate modes, and radiation. Based on a typical calibration substrate, we investigate these effects and their

High Speed Switching Characteristics of Pt/Ta2O5/Cu Memristive Switch

October 8, 2011
Author(s)
Pragya R. Shrestha, Adaku Ochia, Kin P. Cheung, Jason P. Campbell, Helmut Baumgart, Gary Harris
Accurate measurements of the transient details of switching a memristive switch are crucial to the elucidation of the switching mechanism. Such high-speed measurements are often plagued by artifacts. Here we describe a measurement technique capable of

Controlled transport of superparamagnetic beads with spin-valves

October 7, 2011
Author(s)
Wendy R. Altman, John M. Moreland, Stephen E. Russek, Bruce W. Han, Victor M. Bright
Trapping, release, and transport of individual or ensembles of 2.8 υm superparamagnetic beads functionalized with streptavidin were demonstrated using an addressable and non-volatile array of spin-valve (SV) traps integrated into a microfluidic channel
