Precision Engineering For Gravitational Experiments

October 10, 2022
Author(s)
Stephan Schlamminger, Leon Chao, Vincent Lee, David B. Newell, Jon Pratt, Clive Speake
Four fundamental forces, or technically more correct interactions, are known in physics. The gravitational force is one of them and is a mysterious one. Gravity has an infinite range, just like the electromagnetic interaction. However, in contrast to

Scalability of precision design principles for machines and instruments

July 16, 2021
Author(s)
Jose Yague-Fabra, Wei Gao, Andreas Archenti, Ed Morse, Alkan Donmez
The implementation of precision engineering principles in the design of precision systems is fundamental to achieve high accuracy. Although these principles may be independent of the system working range, their implementation is not. The working range, the

Experiments with highly-ionized atoms in unitary Penning traps

August 14, 2015
Author(s)
Shannon Hoogerheide, Aung Naing, Joan M. Dreiling, Samuel Brewer, Nicholas D. Guise, Joseph Tan
Highly-ionized atoms with special properties have been proposed for interesting applications, including potential candidates for a new generation of optical atomic-clocks at the 1 part in 1019 level of precision, quantum-information processing, and tests

A Glowing Future for Lab on a Chip Testing Standards

June 28, 2012
Author(s)
Samuel M. Stavis
Testing standards are more fundamental from a metrological perspective and less controversial from an industrial perspective than product standards, representing a path of less resistance towards the standardization and commercialization of lab on a chip

Coalescence of Single Photons Emitted by Disparate Single Photon Sources: The Example of InAs Quantum Dots and Parametric Down-Conversion Sources

October 5, 2011
Author(s)
Sergey V. Polyakov, Andreas Muller, Alexander E. Ling, Natalia B. Rutter, Edward B. Flagg, Edward Van Keuren, Alan L. Migdall, Glenn S. Solomon
In quantum mechanics, particles in identical states are indistinguishable, giving rise to effects with no classical analog. Single photons produced by fundamentally dissimilar physical processes will in general not be indistinguishable. We show how photons

Fire as a Building Load

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Richard W. Bukowski
The concept of designing buildings to resist loads is fundamental to the design and regulatory process. Fire has traditionally been addressed differently because fires are difficult to describe in the same way as other building loads. This paper proposes a

Release of NIST SP 800-147B, BIOS Protection Guidelines for Servers

October 29, 2014
Author(s)
Andrew R. Regenscheid, Larry Feldman, Gregory A. Witte
Modern computers rely on fundamental system firmware, commonly known as the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), to enable system components to communicate and work together. The BIOS is typically developed by both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and

Shear Induced Tilt Order in Polymer Blends

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Erik K. Hobbie, Haonan Wang, H Jeon, H W. Kim, D Stout, Charles C. Han
Optical studies of viscoelastic emulsions under simple shear flow reveal long-range spatial correlation in the orientation of the deformed domains. As the volume fraction of droplets increases, the tilt angle between the direction of orientation and the

Extraction of Sheet Resistance and Linewidth from All-Copper ECD Test-Structures Fabricated from Silicon Preforms

March 22, 2007
Author(s)
Byron J. Shulver, Andrew S. Bunting, Alan Gundlach, Les I. Haworth, Alan W. Ross, A. J. Smith, Anthony J. Snell, J. T. Stevenson, Anthony Walton, Michael W. Cresswell, Richard A. Allen
Test Structures for the extraction of Electrical Critical Dimensions (ECD) and having all-copper features with no barrier metal films have been fabricated. The advantage of this approach is that electrical measurements provide a non-destructive method for

Polymerization Transition in Two-Dimensional Systems of Dipolar Spheres

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Justin Stambaugh, K VanWorkum, Jack F. Douglas, Wolfgang Losert
We investigate the self-organization of dipolar spheres into polymer chains as a fundamental model of self-assembly of particles having anisotropic interactions. Our study involves a combination of simulation and experiments on vertically vibrated magnetic

Mode-Locked and Single-Frequency Er/Yb Co-Doped Waveguide Lasers

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
John B. Schlager, Berton Callicoatt, Richard Mirin, Norman Sanford
Erbium/ytterbium co-doped planar waveguide lasers are fabricated for low-jitter mode-locked operation and single-frequency operation at 1.54 υm. The passively mode-locked lasers produce picosecond pulses at fundamental repetition rates up to 1 GHz with

The Philosophy of Information Retrieval Evaluation

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
Ellen M. Voorhees
Evaluation conferences such as TREC, CLEF, and NTCIR are modern examples of the Cranfield evaluation paradigm. In the Cranfield paradigm, researchers perform experiments on test collections to compare the relative effectiveness of different retrieval

OOF: An Image-Based Finite Element Analysis of Material Microstructure

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
Stephen A. Langer, W Carter, Lin-Sien H. Lum
The determination of macroscopic properties of a material given its microscopic structure is of fundamental importance to materials science. We present an overview of two public domain programs which jointly predict macroscopic behavior, starting from an

Dimensional Inspection Planning Based on Product Data Standards

Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng
An international standard on product data representation and exchange for dimensional inspection planning is being developed. This paper provides a review of fundamental technology enabling the standard development and describes the current status of an
