QUASAR-QUAsi-Stationary Absolute Radiance Mission

July 22, 2022
Author(s)
Eliad Peretz, Peter Plavchan, Piotr Pachowicz, Jamie Tayar, Gerard van Belle, Greg Aldering, Angelle Tanner, Justin Albert, Daniel Huber, Leonard Hanssen, Brian Alberding, Joseph P. Rice, Steven West, John Mather, Allison Youngblood, Tabetha Boyajian, Brian Stalder, Jonathan Gagne, Susana Deustua, Kayla Carmical, Andrew Lewis
This paper describes the scientific and developmental aspects behind the QUAsi-Stationary Absolute Radiance (QUASAR) mission study. The scientific motivation on which the mission is built is established, including the absolute flux calibration of standard

Author(s)
Kenneth Kimble, Joseph Falco, Elena R. Messina, Karl Van Wyk , Yu Sun, Mizuho Shibata, Wataru Uemura, Yasuyoshi Yokokohji
This paper presents a set of performance metrics, test methods, and associated artifacts to help progress the development and deployment of robotic assembly systems. The designs for three task board artifacts that replicate small part insertions and

Anomaly in the Virial Expansion of IAPWS-95 at Low Temperatures

November 6, 2019
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey
In the standard reference equation of state for the thermodynamic properties of water, known as IAPWS-95, the fourth virial coefficient D(T) becomes abnormally large in magnitude at temperatures below approximately 300 K. At conditions where a virial

REFRACTIVE-INDEX GAS THERMOMETRY

April 18, 2019
Author(s)
Patrick Rourke, Christof Gaiser, Roberto M. Gavioso, Michael R. Moldover, Laurent Pitre, Robin Underwood
The principles and techniques of primary refractive-index gas thermometry (RIGT) are reviewed. Absolute primary RIGT using microwave measurements of helium-filled quasi-spherical resonators has been implemented at the temperatures of the triple points of

Programmers Guide to the BACnet Communications DLL

October 1, 2018
Author(s)
Michael A. Galler
The BACnet standard defines a communication protocol for information exchange between components of a distributed building automation and control system. The BACnet communications dynamically linked library enables researchers to implement selected BACnet

Dosimetric characterization of a new directional low-dose rate brachytherapy source

June 21, 2018
Author(s)
Michael G. Mitch, Larry A. DeWerd, Manik Aima, Clifford G. Hammer, Wesley S. Culberson
CivaTech Oncology Inc. (Durham, NC) has developed a novel low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy source called the CivaSheet. The source is a planar array of discrete elements (“CivaDots") which are directional in nature. This work investigates the
