Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor.

July 21, 2008
Author(s)
Kirk D. Rice, Michael A. Riley, Amanda L. Forster
This Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) performance standard provides the criteria, requirements, methodology, and procedures for ballistic resistance evaluation of personal body armor, under the jurisdiction of the NIJ Compliance Testing Program

Trace water detection in semiconductor-grade phosphine gas

November 11, 2002
Author(s)
Kristine A. Bertness, Susan Y. Lehman, Joseph T. Hodges, H. H. Funke, Mark W. Raynor
We are applying cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) to measure water concentrations in nitrogen and, for the first time to our knowledge, in phosphine. Semiconductor-grade phosphine cylinders from different suppliers contained water in the several ppm

The First Wireless Sensing Workshop was held on June 4, 2001, at the Sensors Expo/Conference at the Rosemont Convention Center in Chicago, IL. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), SENSORS magazine, Sensors Conference, and Institute of

The Development of Fluorescence Intensity Standards

March 1, 2001
Author(s)
Adolfas K. Gaigalas, L. Li, O. Henderson, R F. Vogt, J. Barr, G E. Marti, J. Weaver, A. Schwartz
The use of fluorescence as an analytical technique has been growing over the last 20 years. A major factor in inhibiting more rapid growth has been the inability to make comparable fluorescence intensity measurements across laboratories. NIST recognizes

How Interoperability Saves Money

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Robert E. Chapman
The pressures of competing in the global marketplace are forcing building control companies, equipment and systems manufacturers, energy providers, utiliites, and design engineers to improve performance and reduce costs. One means of meeting this twin

Converting System Failure Histories Into Future Win Situations

January 7, 2000
Author(s)
D Wallace, David R. Kuhn
Most complex systems today contain software, and systems failures activated by software faults can provide lessons for software development practices and software quality assurance. This paper presents an analysis of software-related failures of medical
