Design and Testing of a Mobile Touchscreen Interface for Multi-Modal Biometric Capture

August 1, 2014
Author(s)
Kristen Greene, Ross J. Micheals, Kayee K. Hanaoka, Gregory P. Fiumara
In this report, we describe in detail the design and usability testing of a touchscreen interface for multimodal biometric capture, an application called WSABI, Web Services for the Acquisition of Biometric Information. The application code is publicly

Community Resilience: The Role of the Built Environment

June 27, 2014
Author(s)
Therese P. McAllister
Buildings and infrastructure systems play a key role in communities by supporting social needs and institutions, including housing, business, government, industry, and other vital services. The concept of community resilience addresses the way that

Ignition Propensity of Hydrogen in the Presence of Metal Surfaces.

November 22, 2011
Author(s)
Chih-Jen Sung, James S. T'ien, Kyle Brady
Hydrogen as an energy carrier has received much attention in recent years as a result of a confluence of economic, environmental, and political pressures on the continued use of fossil fuels. The benefits of using hydrogen fuel over fossil fuel products

Meyer, Y Onishi, D M. Pfund, D R. Rector, M L. Stewart, B E. Wells, S T. Yokuda, Antonio Possolo, William F. Guthrie, Pedro I. Espina
The Nodal-Analysis Team within the Flow Rate Technical Group predicted the flow-related pressure drops from the reservoir to release points to estimate flow rates for various time periods for the Macondo well. These estimates were based on predictions from

EMPS: Radiation Thermometer Designs

July 1, 2010
Author(s)
Howard W. Yoon, George P. Eppeldauer
Since the publication of the “Theory and Practice of Radiation Thermometry” in 1988, the designs of radiation thermometers have undergone drastic changes. With the exception of few industries, the disappearing filament pyrometers are not commonly used. The

Measuring the EUV-induced contamination rates of TiO2-capped multilayer optics by anticipated production-environment hydrocarbons

October 1, 2009
Author(s)
Shannon B. Hill, Nadir S. Faradzhev, Charles S. Tarrio, Thomas B. Lucatorto, Robert A. Bartynski, B. V. Yakshinskiy, T. E. Madey
The primary, publicly reported cause of optic degradation in pre-production extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems is carbon deposition. This results when volatile organics adsorb onto optic surfaces and then are cracked by EUV-induced reactions

The Advanced Technology Program's Approach to Technology Diffusion

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
R T. Ruegg
This paper examines the approach to technology diffusion of a public-private partnership program in the United States, the Advanced Technology Program (ATP), that puts industry in the lead and emphasizes spillover effects for national economic benefit. The

Long-term Stability of the NIST Standard Ultrasonic Source

October 1, 2008
Author(s)
Steven E. Fick
The NIST Standard Ultrasonic Source (SUS) is a system comprising a transducer capable of output power levels up to 1 W at multiple frequencies between 1 MHz and 30 MHz, and an electrical impedance-matching network that allows the system to be driven by a

STANDARDIZATION AND SOFTWARE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GAS HYDRATE DATA COMMUNICATIONS

July 28, 2008
Author(s)
Kenneth G. Kroenlein, Ralf Loewner, Willa Wang, Vladimir Diky, Thomas Smith, Chris D. Muzny, Robert D. Chirico, Andrei F. Kazakov, E. D. Sloan, Michael D. Frenkel
Gas Hydrates Markup Language (GHML) has been under development since 2003 by CODATA Task Group Data for Natural Gas Hydrates as an international standard for data storage and transfer in the gas hydrates community. We will describe the final development of

Robust Engineering Design for Failure Prevention

July 27, 2008
Author(s)
Jeffrey T. Fong, James J. Filliben, Nathanael A. Heckert, Roland deWit, Barry Bernstein
To advance the state of the art of engineering design, we introduce a new concept on the "robustness" of a structure by measuring its ability to sustain a sudden loss of a part without causing an immediate collapse. The concept is based on the premise that

HVACSIM+ User's Guide Update

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
Cheol D. Park
The first version of HVACSIM+, which stands for “HVAC SIMulation PLUS other systems”, as introduced by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 1985 as a computer simulation tool to simulate entire building systems [1]. Since then, the

Interference Avoidance in Rapidly Deployed Wireless Ad hoc Incident Area Networks

April 18, 2008
Author(s)
Mohamed T. Refaei, Nader Moayeri, Michael R. Souryal
A common strategy for responding to indoor emergency scenarios is to rapidly deploy a group of first responders inside the incident area and an incident command center outside of the incident area. First responders are equipped with radios that allow them

ASHRAE Standard 62.1: Problems, Perceptions and Panaceas?
