Telepresence: A New Paradigm for Solving Contamination Problems

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
Michael T. Postek, Marylyn H. Bennett, N J. Zaluzec
When a contamination event occurs in a semiconductor fab, a process engineer must act quickly to find the cause. It is cost-prohibitive to maintain a full complement of analytical tools in a fab that would be necessary to identify very small particles and

Using Sensor Data to Predict the Environment in a Building

February 25, 1998
Author(s)
Walter W. Jones, Richard D. Peacock, Glenn P. Forney, Paul A. Reneke
… the data from a multitude of sensors and sufficient computing capacity to utilize the data to provide some … of information means is transcende by providing sufficient computing and memory capacity to allow reasonable algorithms …

Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Standard

August 13, 2024
Author(s)
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), David Cooper
This standard specifies the stateless hash-based digital signature algorithm (SLH-DSA). Digital signatures are used to detect unauthorized modifications to data and to authenticate the identity of the signatory. In addition, the recipient of signed data

Results from a Black-Box Study for Digital Examiners

February 17, 2022
Author(s)
Barbara Guttman, Mary T. Laamanen, Craig Russell, James Darnell, Chris Atha
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted a black-box study in conjunction with a scientific foundation review documented in NISTIR 8354 – Digital Investigation Techniques: A NIST Scientific Foundation Review (initially released

Metrology and Standards Needs of Some Categories of Medical Devices

April 30, 2008
Author(s)
J C. Chiao, Julian M. Goldman, David A. Heck, Peter Kazanzides, William J. Peine, James B. Stiehl, Dwight Yen, Nicholas Dagalakis
With rapid advances in meso, micro and nano scale technology devices and electronics a new generation of advance medical devices is emerging, which promises less invasive and more accurate, automated and effective medical treatments. We examined the

Experimental Investigation of Firebrands: Generation and Ignition of Fuel Beds

April 1, 2008
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Thomas G. Cleary, John R. Shields, Alexander Maranghides, William E. Mell, Jiann C. Yang
A series of real scale fire experiments were performed to determine the size and mass distribution of firebrands generated from Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees. The results of the real scale fire experiments were used to determine firebrand sizes

Application of an Evolution Program for Refirgerant Circuitry Optimization.

December 7, 2007
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, David A. Yashar
Increased concerns about climate change have emphasized the importance of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems with a high coefficient of performance (COP). The effectiveness of heat exchangers significantly influences the vapor-compression system's

NIST Multizone Modeling Website

April 2, 2001
Author(s)
William S. Dols
This report presents an overview of the NIST Multizone Modeling Website developed by the Building and Fire Research Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Multizone modeling refers to the calculation of airflows, pressure

Sprinkler, Smoke and Heat Vent, Draft Curtain Interaction: Large Scale Experiments and Model Development. International Fire Sprinkler-Smoke and Heat Vent-Draft Curtain Fire Test Project (NISTIR 6196-1)

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Anthony P. Hamins, D W. Stroup
The International Sprinkler, Smoke and Heat Vent, Draft Curtain Fire Test Project organized by the National Fire Protection Research Coundation (NFPRF) has brought together a group of industrial sponsors to study the interaction of sprinklers with roof

Inserting line segments into triangulations and tetrahedralizations

March 1, 1995
Author(s)
Javier Bernal
In this paper, we further develop an algorithm by Bernal, De Floriani, and Puppo, for inserting a line segment into a Constrained Delaunay triangulation. The new version of the algorithm inserts the line segment in exactly the same manner in which the old

Experiences with a Manufacturing Framework

January 1, 1995
Author(s)
Selden Stewart, James A. St Pierre
This paper describes the first year of a joint project between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and SEMATECH. After studying the SEMATECH CIM Framework, we present a roadmap for adoption and use of manufacturing frameworks with

Combined Buoyancy- and Pressure-Driven Flow Through a Horizontal Vent.

April 1, 1994
Author(s)
Leonard Y. Cooper
Combined buoyancy- and pressure-driven (i.e., forced) flow through a horizontal vent is considered where the vent-connected spaces near the elevation of the vent are filled with fluids of different density in an unstable configuration, with the density of

Executive Guide to ADP Contingency Planning

January 1, 1982
Author(s)
James K. Shaw, Stuart W. Katzke
This document provides, in the form of questions and answers, the background and basic essential information required to understand the developmental process for Automatic Data Processing (ADP) contingency plans. The primary intended audience consists of
