This article summarizes the fundamental concepts of the FISMA project and reinforces the core principles that have guided the project from its initiation in 2003.

In this work we use the Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer to provide traceability for the phase of the harmonics of a distorted waveform, relative to its fundamental. For distorted waveforms with rms values in the range from 0.154 V to 0.2 V and
This report summarizes the research and measurement science carried out during 2008-2009 in the NIST Physics Laboratory. The Laboratory supports U.S. industry, government, and the scientific community by providing measurement services and research for
During supercontinuum formation in nonlinear fiber the presence of a noise seed on the input laser pulse can lead to significant excess noise on the generated output supercontinuum electric field. We relate pulse-averaged moments of this electric field
This report summarizes the research and measurement science carried out during calendar year 2001 in the NIST Physics Laboratory. The Laboratory supports U.S. industry, government, and the scientific community by providing measurement services and research
One of NIST's seven measurement and standards laboratories, EEEL conducts research, provides measurement services, and helps set standards in support of the fundamental electronic technologies of semiconductors, magnetics, and superconductors; information

The energy levels of hydrogen and deuterium atoms are calculated to provide frequencies for transitions between highly excited states with principal quantum number n up to 200. All known quantum electrodynamics and relativistic corrections have been
sed on variable temperature ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy data, we propose a two dimensional phase diagram of monolayerdecanethiol on Au(111). Four triple point temperatures were determined: T1 at 27 C, T2 at 33 C, T3 at 35 C, and T4 at 56
A thermodynamic model incorporating a fundamental equation of state for the Helm-holtz free energy of the mixture water+ammonia} is presented which covers the thermodynamic space between the solid-liquid-vapor boundary and the critical locus. It is also
An analysis of the vapor compression cycle and the main components of an air source heat pump during steady-state operation has been performed with emphasis on fundamental phenomena taking place between key locations in the refrigerant system. The basis of

Background: The Electrophilic Allergen Screening Assay (EASA) has emerged as a promising method for risk and hazard assessment for skin sensitization classification. This assay functions by assessing the depletion of one of two probe molecules (4

A deeper understanding of microstructural influences on the fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V made using electron beam melting (EBM) is necessary before this material can be safely implemented in medical devices and aerospace components. Investigation of two
This paper reports vapor-space condensation heat transfer measurements for R123, R134a, and R245fa on two passively enhanced vertical surfaces and on a vertical smooth plate. The two enhanced surfaces were the integral trapezoidal-fin and the Turbo-CII
Experiments designed to characterize the ignition behavior of typical outdoor fuels by heated mufflers and catalytic converters found on outdoor power equipment are described. Ignition by direct contact with a heated surface and by radiation from a heated

We derive a nonlinear equation of motion for a chip-scale pendulum comprising a thick plate suspended from a tensioned nanoribbon. Recently we explored the use of such a device as a clock gravimeter, exploiting the parametric coupling of its frequency to
Recent large-scale tests have found that Steel Gravity Framing Systems (SGFSs) with conventional connections were inadequate to support the integrity gravity load combinations under column removal scenarios. To address this issue, detailed connection
This paper considers the robustness of prototype 10-story steel moment-frame and braced-frame buildings. Reduced modeling approaches are presented for steel moment-frame and braced-frame buildings with composite floor slabs, and these approaches are used

This paper presents a 95-GHz printed low-loss linear-to-circular polarizer designed as a component of an active direct-detection millimeter-wave imaging system. The periodic printed structure presents different reactances to the TE and TM polarizations
We made inside diameter measurements of a stainless steel cylinder used in a piston prover for hydrocarbon liquid flow measurements. We used a 3-point micrometer and two traceable setting rings to measure diameter at 12 radial positions at each of 21
A buffered dielectric measurement method was described. We added a thin buffer polymer layer to a polymer film before depositing aluminum electrodes. This is a modification to conventional parallel plate dielectric constant measurement method. It still has
