Workshop Objectives (NIST SP 1051)

May 3, 2007
Author(s)
Rodney A. Bryant
There is a need for real-time identification of hazards to enable selection of appropriate respiratory protection for firefighters. The challenge is to transfer the protocols and technology used in industrial environments where the respiratory threats are

Analysis of Pipeline Steel Corrosion Data

May 2, 2007
Author(s)
Richard E. Ricker
Currently, the U.S. has over 3.7 million kilometers (2.3 million miles) of pipelines crossing the country transporting natural gas and hazardous liquids from sources such as wells, refineries, and ports to customers. It is estimated that almost 2/3 of the

A Simulation Architecture for Manufacturing Interoperability Testing

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Sanjay Jain, Frank H. Riddick, Yung-Tsun T. Lee
Manufacturing systems are often costly to develop and operate. Simulation technology has been demonstrated to be an effective tool for improving the efficiency of manufacturing system design, operation, and maintenance. But manufacturing simulations are

A Virtual Manufacturing Environment for Interoperability Testing

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Sanjay Jain, Andreas Craens, Deogratias Kibira
Studies have documented the high cost of the lack of software interoperability on manufacturing. New interface standards are being developed by various organizations to address interoperability issues. Unfortunately these standards often overlap and

Biophotonic tools in cell and tissue diagnostics

Author(s)
Michael Brownstein, Robert A. Hoffman, Richard Levenson, Thomas E. Milner, Marla L. Dowell, Paul A. Williams, Grady S. White, Adolfas Gaigalas, Jeeseong C. Hwang
In order to maintain the rapid advance of biophotonics in the U.S. and to enhance our competitiveness worldwide, key measurement tools must be in place. As a part of a wide-reaching effort to improve the U.S. technology base, the National Institute of

Capacitors and Electromagnetic Resonators for Gas Metrology

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Michael R. Moldover, James W. Schmidt
Gas-filled capacitors are being used as primary thermometers and they show promise as primary pressure standards and for measuring the Boltzmann constant. With these metrological applications in mind, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of audio

Coherent optical link over hundreds of metres and hundreds of terahertz with subfemtosecond timing jitter

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Luca Lorini, J. C. Bergquist, K Feder, Y. Le Coq, Jeffrey W. Nicholson, C. W. Oates, Qudsia Quraishi, Paul S. Westbrook, Scott Diddams, Nathan R. Newbury
Recent developments in stabilized lasers have resulted in ultrastable optical oscillators with spectral purities below 1 Hz refs 1-6. These oscillators are not transportable at present and operate at a single frequency. To realize their full potential, a

Creating Focus: Augmented Reality for Better Standards

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Matthew L. Aronoff
Successful collaborative engineering depends on clear communication between all members of the development process. As that communication becomes more and more complex -- including not only textual descriptions, but CAD models, diagnostic data, process

Flow Control Through the Use of Topography

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
David Cotrell, Anthony J. Kearsley
In this work, optimal shaft shapes for flow in the annular space between a rotating shaft with axially-periodic radius and a fixed coaxial outer circular cylinder are investigated. Axisymmetric steady flows in this geometry are determined by solving the

Nanostructured, multifunctional tribological coatings

Author(s)
In-Wook Park, Jianliang Lin, William C. Moerbe, Brajendra Mishra, John J. Moore, Jennifer Anton, William D. Sproul, Kwang Ho Kim, Audrey A. Vooevodin, Evgeny A. Levashov
A number of multicomponents, nanostructured coatings have been produced for a range of tribological applications. This paper will discuss four such nanocomposite coating systems: (i) Ti-Si-B-C-N; (ii) Cr-B-N; (iii) TiC-C and (iv) Cr-Al-N produced by

Open Architecture Software Design for Online Spindle Health Monitoring

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Kang B. Lee, Robert Gao, Ruqiang Yan, Li Zhang
This paper presents open systems architecture-based software design for an online spindle health monitoring system. The software is implemented using the graphical programming language of LabVIEW, and presents the spindle health status in two types of

Optimization of Finned-Tube Condensers Using an Intelligent System

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, David A. Yashar
The refrigerant circuitry influences a heat exchanger s attainable capacity. Typically, a design engineer specifies a circuitry and validates it using a simulation model or laboratory test. The circuitry optimization process can be improved by using

Smart Transducer Web Services Based on the IEEE 1451.0 Standard

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Yuyin Song, Kang B. Lee
This paper describes the proposed Smart Transducer Web Services (STWS) developed at the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) based on the proposed IEEE 1451.0 standard. The Smart Transducer Web Services were described in WSDL (Web Service
