JPEG 2000 CODEC Certification Guidance for 1000 ppi Fingerprint Friction Ridge Imagery

June 4, 2015
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, John M. Libert, Michael Garris, John Grantham, Frederick R. Byers
The document describes the procedure by which applications of JPEG 2000 CODECs will be evaluated with respect to conformance to the NIST guidance for compression of 1000 ppi friction ridge images as detailed in NIST Special Publication 500-289 [NIST5]

Energy Transfer Between Eigenmodes in Multimodal Atomic Force Microscopy

November 5, 2014
Author(s)
Sang M. An, Santiago D. Solares Rivera, Sergio Santos, Daniel Ebeling
We present experimental and computational investigations of tetramodal and pentamodal atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively, whereby the first four or five flexural modes of the cantilever are simultaneously excited externally. This leads to six to

Robustness Assessment of RC Frame Buildings under Column Loss Scenarios

April 3, 2014
Author(s)
Yihai Bao, Joseph A. Main, Hai S. Lew, Fahim Sadek
A computational assessment of the robustness of reinforced concrete (RC) building structures under column loss scenarios is presented. A reduced-order modeling approach is presented for three-dimensional RC framing systems, including the floor slab, and

Exploratory Study of Airflow from SCBA Exposed to Elevated Temperatures

September 18, 2013
Author(s)
Michelle K. Donnelly, Daniel M. Madrzykowski, Anthony D. Putorti Jr.
This exploratory set of experiments investigated the impact of external exposure temperatures on Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) supply air, and the potential for the supply air to be heated when it is subjected to an elevated temperature

Flux Lattices Reformulated

December 12, 2012
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Gediminas Juzeliunas
We theoretically explore the optical flux lattices produced for ultra-cold atoms subject to laser fields where both the atom-light coupling and the effective detuning are spatially periodic. We analyze the geometric vector potential and the magnetic flux

SysML extension for dynamical system simulation tools

October 26, 2012
Author(s)
Ion Matei, Conrad E. Bock
Computer-interpretable representations of system structure and behavior are at the center of designing today’s complex systems. Engineers create and review such representations using graphical modeling languages that support specification, analysis, design

A Literature Review of the Effects of Fire Smoke on Electrical Equipment

July 31, 2012
Author(s)
Richard D. Peacock, Thomas G. Cleary, Paul A. Reneke, Daniel Murphy
A review is presented of the state of the art of smoke production measurement, prediction of smoke impact as part of computer-based fire modeling, and measurement and prediction of the impact of smoke through deposition of soot on and corrosion of

Mobile Application Device Power Usage Measurements

July 31, 2012
Author(s)
Rahul Murmuria, Jeffrey Medsger, Angelos Stavrou, Jeff Voas
… a crucial design tenet for both mobile and other small computing devices that are not constantly connected to a …

An Integrated Data Model for Quality Information Exchange in Manufacturing Systems

July 27, 2012
Author(s)
William G. Rippey, Yaoyao F. Zhao, Thomas R. Kramer, John A. Horst, Frederick M. Proctor
Quality measurement is an integrated part of modern manufacturing systems. As the manufacturing industry has entered a digital and virtual era, information technology has become increasingly important for both machining and measurement systems. Effective

MEMS

January 12, 2012
Author(s)
Michael Gaitan
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are devices that are fabricated using techniques similar to those used for integrated circuits (ICs) to create micrometer-sized mechanical structures (suspended bridges, cantilevers, membranes, fluid channels, etc.)

Limited Live-time Measurements of Frequency Spectra

July 31, 2011
Author(s)
David A. Howe, Neil Ashby, Danielle G. Lirette, Archita Hati, Craig W. Nelson
Frequency-difference-of-arrival (FDOA) can be used to monitor and track an emitter’s location by observing Doppler frequency shifts of the carrier during short pulsed transmissions. This specific application needs to consider two frequency-stability levels

Understanding the Hazards of Grouped Electrical Cables

August 8, 2010
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Andrew J. Lock, Nathan D. Marsh, Marc R. Nyden, Jason Dreisbach, David Stroup
CHRISTIFIRE (Cable Heat Release, Ignition, and Spread in Tray Installations during FIRE) is a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Research program to quantify the mass and energy released from burning electrical cables. This type of quantitative

A Flame Model for Melting and Dripping Polymers

July 5, 2010
Author(s)
Kathryn M. Butler, Sergio R. Idelsohn, Julio M. Marti, Eugenio Onate, Riccardo Rossi
The versatility of polymeric materials, as demonstrated in such features as high strength, low weight, ease of processing, and capability to form into complex shapes, have led to their widespread industrial application in aircraft structures
