An update on dose calibrator settings for nuclides used in nuclear medicine

June 1, 2018
Author(s)
Denis E. Bergeron, Jeffrey T. Cessna
Most clinical measurements of radioactivity, whether for therapeutic or imaging nuclides, rely on commercial reentrant ionization chambers (“dose calibrators”). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains a battery of representative

Mobile Manipulator Stability Measurements

April 18, 2017
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Tsai H. Hong
Mobile manipulators are being marketed for material handling and other tasks. Manufacturers suggest the stability of the vehicle best when the onboard loading tapers the centroid to the center of the wheelbase as the payload height increases. Experiments

Spectrum Sensing with WLAN Access Points

January 5, 2016
Author(s)
Jason Coder, Ryan T. Jacobs, Vivian Musser
With wireless communication becoming more and more common in simple everyday devices, the available spectrum is quickly filling up and the risk of interference is increasing. This interference could be a slight nuisance to or it could be a more significant

Knowledge and Uniformity

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
H V. Oppermann
Two primary objectives of weights and measures enforcement are to promote fair competition among companies and to ensure accurate measurement for consumers. To achieve these objectives, it is necessary to have knowledgeable weights and measures officials

A Failure Analysis of an Experimental AIMgB14 Cutting Tools

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
J L. Evans, Laurent Deshayes, D G. Bhat, S A. Batzer
A recently developed ultra-hard boride-based material, AlMgB14, has been fabricated into a standard cutting tool geometry (TPG-222) and tested in the single-point turning of Ti-6Al-4V. The initial testing was conducted to compare this new cutting tool?s
