Stepfield Pallets: Repeatable Terrain for Evaluating Robot Mobility

December 31, 2008
Author(s)
Adam S. Jacoff, Anthony J. Downs, Ann M. Virts, Elena R. Messina
Stepfield pallets are a fabricated and repeatable terrain for evaluating robot mobility. They were developed to provide emergency responders and robot developers a common mobility challenge that could be easily replicated to capture statistically

The Marine Optical BuoY (MOBY) Radiometric Calibration and Uncertainty Budget for Ocean Color Satellite Sensor Vicarious Calibration

December 31, 2008
Author(s)
M Feinholz, B. Carol Johnson, Steven W. Brown, S Flora, M Yarbrough, Terrance Houlihan, D Peters, Yong S. Kim, J Mueller, Dennis Clark
For the past decade, the Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY), an autonomous radiometric buoy stationed in the waters off Lanai, Hawaii, has been the primary in-water oceanic observatory for the vicarious calibration of the U. S. satellite ocean color sensors

ThermoData Engine (TDE) version 3.0 (Pure Compounds, EOS, and Binary Mixtures)

December 31, 2008
Author(s)
Michael D. Frenkel, Robert D. Chirico, Chris Muzny, Andrei F. Kazakov, Eric Lemmon, Vladimir Diky
TheroData Engine (version 3.0) is expert-system software that implements the dynamic data evaluation concept for binary mixtures of molecular compounds. Evaluation of some reaction properties is also included.

Modeling Human Behavior during Building Fires

December 30, 2008
Author(s)
Erica D. Kuligowski
Evacuation models, including engineering hand calculations and computational tools, are used to evaluate the level of safety provided by buildings during evacuation. Building designs, occupant procedures, and notification technology are based on the

The Role for Engineers in Health Care Information Systems

December 30, 2008
Author(s)
Ram D. Sriram, Steven J. Fenves
Health care informatics deals with all the processes or "software" of the health care enterprise: modeling, design, simulation and implementation of health care information systems, support and control of manufacturing and its associated supply chains, and

A Standard Method for Measuring Wafer Bond Strength for MEMS Applications

December 23, 2008
Author(s)
Richard A. Allen, Janet M. Cassard, Winthrop A. Baylies, David T. Read, George D. Quinn, Frank W. DelRio, Kevin T. Turner, Michael Bernasch, Joerg Bagdahn
A round robin, to provide precision and bias data for SEMI standard MS5-1107, Test Method for Wafer Bond Strength Measurements Using Micro-Chevron Test Structures, in underway. The precision and bias data, combined with experience in applying the test

Symmetric Key Injection onto Smart Cards

December 22, 2008
Author(s)
David A. Cooper, William I. MacGregor
This paper describes architectures for securely injecting secret keys onto smart cards. Specifically, this paper details key injection architectures based on the identity credentials available on the Personal Identify Verification (PIV) Card. The primary

Property Verification for Generic Access Control Models

December 20, 2008
Author(s)
Chung Tong Hu, David R. Kuhn, Tao Xie
To formally and precisely capture the security properties that access control should adhere to, access control models are usually written to bridge the rather wide gap in abstraction between policies and mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a new general

A Threat Analysis on UOCAVA Voting Systems

December 19, 2008
Author(s)
Andrew R. Regenscheid, Nelson E. Hastings
This report contains the results of NIST s research into technologies to improve the voting process for United States citizens living overseas. It splits the overseas voting process into three stages: voter registration and ballot request, blank ballot

Fiducial Intervals for the Magnitude of a Complex-Valued Quantity

December 19, 2008
Author(s)
Chih-Ming Wang, Hariharan K. Iyer
This paper discusses a fiducial approach for constructing uncertainty intervals for the distance between k normal means and the origin. When k=2 this distance is equivalent to the magnitude of a complex-valued quantity. Uncertainty intervals for the

Particle Motion During the Compaction of Granular Matter

December 19, 2008
Author(s)
Steven Slotterback, Masahiro Toiya, Leonard Goff, Jack F. Douglas, Wolfgang Losert
We track particle motions in a granular material subjected to compaction using a laser scattering based imaging method where compaction is achieved through thermal cycling. Particle displacements in this jammed fluid correlate strongly with rearrangments

Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment

December 18, 2008
Author(s)
Shirley M. Radack
This bulletin summarizes information disseminated in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-115, Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment: Recommendations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which was written by Karen

Matter-wave self-imaging by atomic center-of-mass motion induced interference

December 18, 2008
Author(s)
Ke Li, Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, M.S. Zhan, Marvin G. Payne
We demonstrate matter-wave self-imaging in a stationary light field in the non-Raman-Nath limit. We show that in a non-instantaneous pulsed standing wave grating significant contributions due to the non-negligible atomic center of mass motion and

Elastic Modulus of Faceted Aluminum Nitride Nanotubes Measured by Contact Resonance Atomic Force Microscopy

December 17, 2008
Author(s)
Gheorghe Stan, C Ciobanu, Timothy Thayer, George Wang, Randall Creighton, Premsagar P. Kavuri, Leonid A. Bendersky, Robert F. Cook
A new methodology for determining the radial elastic modulus of a one-dimensional nanostructure laid on a substrate has been developed. The methodology consists of the combination of contact resonance atomic force microscopy (AFM) with finite element
