Spray-deposition and photopolymerization of organic-inorganic thiol-ene resins for fabrication of superamphiphobic surfaces

June 9, 2014
Author(s)
Li Xiong, Laken Kendrick, Hannele Heusser, Bradley J. Sparks, Christopher Stafford, James T. Goetz, Sergei Nazarenko, Derek L. Patton
Superamphiphobic surfaces, exhibiting high contact angles and low contact angle hysteresis to both water and low surface tension liquids, have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to the importance in many practical applications. In this

Fault Localization Based on Failure-Inducing Combinations

November 7, 2013
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker
Combinatorial testing has been shown to be a very effective testing strategy. After a failure is detected, the next task is to identify the actual fault that causes the failure. In this paper, we present an approach to fault localization that leverages the

Nested Uncertainties and Hybrid Metrology to Improve Measurement Accuracy

April 18, 2011
Author(s)
Richard M. Silver, Nien F. Zhang, Bryan M. Barnes, Hui Zhou, Jing Qin, Ronald G. Dixson
In this paper we present a method to combine measurement techniques that reduce uncertainties and improve measurement throughput. The approach has immediate utility when performing model-based optical critical dimension measurements. When modeling optical

A Measurement Infrastructure for Sustainable Manufacturing

August 6, 2010
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Che B. Joung
Global resource degradation, climate change, and environmental pollution are worsening due to increasing globalized industrialization. The manufacturing industry has thus been put under pressure to cope with these problems while maintaining competiveness

Electrochemical Micromachining of Hastelloy B-2 with Ultrashort Voltage Pulses

September 8, 2009
Author(s)
Gordon A. Shaw, Joseph J. Maurer, Steven E. Fick, Thomas P. Moffat, J. J. Mallett, John L. Hudson
Electrochemical micromachining (ECMM) with ultrashort voltage pulses, a maskless all-electrochemical micro and nanofabrication technique, has been used to fabricate microstructures on a corrosion resistant nickel-based superalloy, Hastelloy B-2. Because of

NIST Program to Support Testing and Evaluation of Trace Explosive Detection

October 1, 2007
Author(s)
R M. Verkouteren, John G. Gillen, Jennifer R. Verkouteren, Robert A. Fletcher, Eric S. Windsor, Wayne Smith
Trace detection is a primary strategy for thwarting terrorism activities in the US and abroad. The development of effective reference materials and methods for this purpose relies on fundamental knowledge regarding the size, mass, morphologies, and

The Evaluation of Ontologies

Leo Obrst, Benjamin Ashpole, Werner Ceusters, Mahesh Mani, Steven R. Ray, Bradford Smith
… problems in ontology evaluation, describes some current strategies, and suggests some approaches that might be useful …

Comparison of ISO/IEC 17025 with the NUPIC Audit Checklist

May 1, 2003
Author(s)
C D. Faison
Representatives of the Nuclear Utilities Industry and the laboratory accreditation community met to discuss Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recognition of the use of accredited commercial calibration laboratories as suppliers of commercial grade

On Shortest Random Walks under Adversarial Uncertainty

May 1, 2003
Author(s)
Vladimir V. Marbukh
Finding shortest feasible paths in a weighted graph has numerous applications including admission and routing in communication networks. This paper discusses a game theoretic framework intended to incorporate a concept of path stability into the process of
