Lessons From Ultraviolet Monitoring Spectroradiometer Intercomparisons

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
E A. Thompson, E A. Early
A series of three interagency solar ultraviolet monitoring spectroradiometer intercomparisons were conducted at Table Mountain outside Boulder, Colorado. The primary purpose of these intercomparisons was to compare the solar ultraviolet irradiances

Benchmarking Protocols for Evaluating Grasp Strength, Grasp Cycle Time, Finger Strength, and Finger Repeatability of Robot End-effectors

April 1, 2020
Author(s)
Joseph A. Falco, Daniel Hemphill, Kenneth E. Kimble, Elena R. Messina, Adam Norton, Rafael F. Ropelato, Holly A. Yanco
This paper describes a set of metrics and supporting benchmarking protocols for determining the performance characteristics of robot end-effectors. In the short-term, these tools are proving useful as a common ground for assessing and comparing end

Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to achieve isotropic microstructure and retain as-built strength in additive manufacturing titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V)

September 23, 2019
Author(s)
Jake T. Benzing, Nikolas W. Hrabe, Timothy P. Quinn, Ryan M. White, Ross A. Rentz, Magnus Ahlfors
Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatments are used to seal internal porosity because defects exist in as-built Ti-6Al-4V parts produced by electron beam melting powder bed fusion. Standard HIP treatment of Ti-6Al-4V parts reduces internal porosity but

Users Guide to Type277 Loosely Coupled Integration of TRNSYS with Java

August 13, 2019
Author(s)
Farhad Omar
The purpose of this document is to provide instructions for using a newly developed TRNSYS component (Type277). Type277 enables the loosely-coupled integration of a TRNSYS model with Java software environments using socket communication. The bi-directional

Chen, B Caja, H Yi, A Boury, S Lorcy, M C. Asensio, T Gans, D O?Connell, F Reniers, A Vincze, M Anderle
Nanometer-sized structures, surfaces and sub-surface phenomena have played an enormous role in science and technological applications and represent a driving-force of current interdisciplinary science. Recent developments include the atomic-scale

Bang-bang shortcut to adiabaticity in the Dicke model as realized in a Penning trap experiment

May 29, 2018
Author(s)
J. Cohn, Arghavan Safari-Naini, R. J. Lewis-Swan, Justin G. Bohnet, M. Garttner, Kevin Gilmore, Elena Jordan, Ana Maria Rey, John Bollinger, James K. Freericks
We introduce a bang-bang shortcut to adiabaticity for the Dicke model, which we implement via a two-dimensional array of trapped ions in a Penning trap with a spin-dependent force detuned close to the center-of-mass drumhead mode. Our focus is on employing

A supersonically expanding Bose-Einstein condensate: an expanding universe in the lab

April 19, 2018
Author(s)
Stephen P. Eckel, Avinash Kumar, Theodore Jacobson, Ian B. Spielman, Gretchen K. Campbell
We study the dynamics of a supersonically expanding Bose-Einstein ring condensate both experimentally and theoretically using simulations. Such expansion shows a redshift of long-wavelength excitations, similar to those seen in the standard cosmological

Monte Carlo modelling of live-timed anticoincidence (LTAC) counting for Cu-64

September 20, 2017
Author(s)
Denis E. Bergeron, Ryan P. Fitzgerald
The radionuclide copper-64 is a promising candidate for nuclear medicine, but its complex decay creates challenges in the primary standardization of its activity. Monte Carlo simulations of live timed anticoincidence (LTAC) counting of 64Cu were used to

Silicon Micromachined Capacitive Force Scale: The Way to Improved Radiation Pressure Sensing

July 2, 2017
Author(s)
Ivan Ryger, Paul A. Williams, Nathan A. Tomlin, Alexandra B. Artusio-Glimpse, Michelle S. Stephens, Matthew T. Spidell, John H. Lehman
Measurement of high optical power using radiation pressure sensing [1] is attractive for its non-absorbing power measurment allowing compact sensor dimensions, faster response times and negligible optical power dissipation compared to standard thermal

Labeling Requirements for Packages Labeled Using In-Store Scales

March 7, 2017
Author(s)
David A. Sefcik
In the early 1950s, it became popular for supermarkets to offer random weight packaged meats and produce using in-store scales. The Uniform Packaging and Labeling Regulation (UPLR) in NIST Handbook 130, “Uniform Laws and Regulations in the Areas of Legal
