Low-NEP pyroelectric detectors for calibration of UV and IR sources and detectors

September 5, 2017
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer, Vyacheslav B. Podobedov, Leonard Hanssen, P. Yvonne Barnes
Pyroelectric radiometers with spectrally constant response have been developed at NIST with the cooperation of a few detector manufacturers. The new devices have noise-equivalent-power (NEP) values less than 1 nW/Hz^1/2 sufficiently low for use at the

Assessment of Factors Affecting Fire Performance of Mattresses: A Review

September 3, 2012
Author(s)
Rick D. Davis, Shonali Nazare, Kathryn M. Butler
An in-depth analysis of U.S. residential fire statistics shows that although the total number of fires and deaths due to mattress fires has dropped as a result of several regulatory approaches, the mattress/bedding fires continue to account for one of the

Effect of Dissolved Nitrogen Gas on the Density of Di-2-Ethylhexyl Sebacate: Working Fluid of the NIST Oil Ultrasonic Interferometer Manometer Pressure Standard

June 1, 2009
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Jacob R. Ricker, Justin H. Chow, Douglas A. Olson
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Low Pressure Manometry Laboratory maintains national pressure standards ranging from 1 mPa to 360 kPa through the operation of four ultrasonic interferometer manometer (UIM) pressure standards. NIST

Stuart W. Katzke, Keith A. Stouffer, Marshall Abrams, David Norton, Joe Weiss
… standards activities, and commercial sector ICSs (e.g., manufacturing processing systems, building control systems). …

Polymerase Chain Reaction Amplification of DNA From Aged Blood Stains: Quantitative Evaluation of the Suitability for Purpose of Four Filter Papers as Archival Media

April 15, 2002
Author(s)
Margaret C. Kline, David L. Duewer, Janette W. Redman, John M. Butler, D A. Boyer
In collaboration with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology's Department of Defense DNA Registry, the National Institute of Standards and Technology recently evaluated the performance of a short tandem repeat (STR) multiplex with dried whole blood stains

Terrestrial laser scanners and contrast targets: Effect of algorithm, resolution, distance, and target rotational orientation on center coordinate

July 13, 2026
Author(s)
Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Aum Shah, Mary Gregg, Katharine Shilling, Vincent Lee, Braden Czapla
Terrestrial laser scanners (TLSs) are portable dimensional measurement instruments that produce a 3D point cloud by measuring the distance and two angles to points in the scene. Contrast targets are sometimes used to evaluate the performance of these

Functional Characterization and a Real-World Clinical Laboratory Pilot of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Circulating Tumor DNA Quality Control Materials

November 6, 2025
Author(s)
Cloud Paweletz, Thomas Forbes, Laura M Yee, Grace Heavey, Hua-Jun He, Zhiyong He, Dana Connors, Daniel Stetson, Susan Keating, Kenneth Cole, Li Chen, Rini Pauly, Caroline Sigman, Liang-Chun Liu, Qiang Gan, Yves Konigshofer, Russell Garlick, Ephrem Chin, Gary Kelloff, Mickey Williams, Robert McCormack, Chris Karlovich
Purpose We previously developed quality control materials (QCMs) to aid in the development of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays. In this study, we further characterize the performance of the QCMs relative to clinical samples. Methods QCMs were provided
