Practical Aspects of Acoustic Emission Source Location by a Wavelet Transform

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Marvin A. Hamstad, K S. Downs, Agnes O'Gallagher
An algoithmic approach to improve the accuracy of AE source location was demonstrated by using a large database of wideband-acoustic-emission-(AE)-modeled signals and wavelet transform (WT) results. The AE-signal database was created by a three-dimentional

Internal and external harmonics in bi-cyclide coordinates

July 20, 2023
Author(s)
Hans Volkmer, Brandon Alexander, Howard Cohl
The Laplace equation in three-dimensional Euclidean space is R-separable in bi-cyclide coordinates leading to harmonic functions expressed in terms of Lamé–Wangerin functions called internal and external bi-cyclide harmonics. An expansion for a fundamental

Planck Constant Determination from Power Equivalence

April 1, 2000
Author(s)
David B. Newell
Equating mechanical to electrical power links the kilogram, the meter, and the second to the practical realizations of the ohm and the volt derived from the quantum Hall and the Josephson effects, yielding an SI determination of the Planck constant. The

High Temperature Superconductor Wires and Tapes

November 26, 2006
Author(s)
M. P. Paranthaman, V Selvamanickam, K Matsumoto, Luigia Gianna, Wei-xian Zhang, P Goyal, Winnie Wong-Ng
High Temperature Superconductor Wires and Tapes was one of the MS&T2006 symposia (October 15-19, 2006; Duke Energy Center, Cincinnati, Ohio) that covered recent advances in the area of high temperature superconductor (HTS) wires and tapes. The symposium

New measurement of the Boltzmann constant k by acoustic thermometry of helium-4 gas

September 11, 2017
Author(s)
Laurent Pitre, Fernando Sparasci, Michael R. Moldover, Cecile Guianvarch, Catherine Martin, Martin Himbert, Mark Plimmer, James B. Mehl, Giuliano Albo, Bo Gao, Lara Risegari
The SI unit of temperature will soon be redefined in terms of a fixed value of the Boltzmann constant k derived from an ensemble of measurements worldwide. We report on a new determination of k using acoustic thermometry of helium-4 gas in a 3-litre quasi

Physics Laboratory Technical Activities 1998

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
K B. Gebbie
This report summarizes research projects measurement method developments, calibration and testing services, and data evaluation activities that were carried out during calendar year 1998 in the NIST Physics Laboratory. These activities are in the areas of

Adopting the International System of Units to the 21st century

March 1, 2011
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, Ian M. Mills, Terry Quinn, Barry N. Taylor, Edwin R. Williams
We review the proposal of the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM), currently being considered by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), to revise the International System of Units, the SI. The proposal includes new

Dielectric loss extraction for superconducting microwave resonators

May 5, 2020
Author(s)
Corey Rae H. McRae, Russell Lake, Junling Long, Mustafa Bal, Xian Wu, Battogtokh Jugdersuren, Thomas Metcalf, Xiao Liu, David P. Pappas
The investigation of two-level-state (TLS) loss in dielectric materials and interfaces remains at the forefront of materials research in superconducting quantum circuits. We demonstrate a method of TLS loss extraction of a thin film dielectric by measuring

Capillarity Induced Solvent?Actuated Bonding of Polymeric Microfluidic Devices

April 12, 2006
Author(s)
Jayna J. Shah, Jon C. Geist, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan, Rao Mulpuri, Wyatt N. Vreeland
Rapid, robust and economical fabrication of fluidic microchannels is of fundamental importance for the successful development of disposable lab-on-a-chip devices. In this work, we present a solvent-actuated bonding method for fabricating polymeric
