Remote Time Calibrations via the NIST Measurement and Analysis Service

December 1, 2006
Author(s)
Michael A. Lombardi, Andrew N. Novick
NIST now offers a new remmote calibration service desinged to assist laboratories who maintain an accurate local time standard. The service monitors the local time standard by continuously comparing it to the national time standard, and reports the

Standards and Measurements for Assessing Bone Health

December 1, 2006
Author(s)
Herbert S. Bennett, Andrew Dienstfrey, Thomas Fuerst, Lawrence T. Hudson, Tammy L. Oreskovic, John Shepherd
This paper reports and discusses the results of the recent ISCD-NIST USMS Workshop on Standards and Measurements for Assessing Bone Health. The purpose of the Workshop was to assess the status of efforts to standardize and compare results from dual-energy

Synthetic Incoherence Via Scanned Gaussian Beams

December 1, 2006
Author(s)
Zachary H. Levine
Tomography, in most formulations, requires an incoherent signal. For a conventional transmission electron microscope, the coherence of the beam often results in diffraction effects which limit the utility of a tilt series with conventional tomographic

Terminology for High-Speed Sampling-Oscilloscope Calibration

December 1, 2006
Author(s)
Dylan Williams, Tracy S. Clement, Paul D. Hale, Andrew Dienstfrey
We discuss procedures for calibrating high-speed sampling oscilloscopes at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the terminology associated with those calibrations. The discussion clarifies not only the calibration procedures, but how to

Using Laser-Cooled Atoms as a Focused Ion Beam Source

December 1, 2006
Author(s)
James L. Hanssen, E Dakin, Jabez J. McClelland, M Jacka
The authors describe a new method for creating a high quality focused ion beam using laser-cooled neutral atoms in a magneto-optical trap as an ion source. They show that this new technique can provide spot resolutions and brightness values that are better

Advancing Factory-Wide Data Quality for APC Applications

November 30, 2006
Author(s)
Harvey Wohlwend, Gino Crispieri, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud
Accurate clock synchronization and time stamping plays a significant role in ensuring data quality as the semiconductor industry faces an imminent data explosion with the deployment of Interface A. Standards and Guidelines significantly ease the deployment

Approximating Periodic Solutions of Autonomous Delay Differential Equations

November 30, 2006
Author(s)
David E. Gilsinn
Machine tool chatter has been characterized as isolated periodic solutions or limit cycles of delay differential equations. Determining the amplitude and frequency of the limit cycle is sometimes crucial to understanding and controlling the stability of

Evidence for Internal Stresses Induced by Nanoimprint Lithography

November 30, 2006
Author(s)
Hyun Wook Ro, Yifu Ding, Hae-Jeong Lee, Daniel R. Hines, Ronald L. Jones, Eric K. Lin, Alamgir Karim, Wen-Li Wu, Christopher L. Soles
The thermal embossing form of nanoimprint lithography is used to pattern arrays of nanostructures into several different polymer films. The shape of the imprinted patterns is characterized with nm precision using both X-ray scattering and reflectivity

Firebrand Production From Burning Vegetation

November 30, 2006
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Alexander Maranghides, William E. Mell, Thomas G. Cleary, Jiann C. Yang
A series of real scale fire experiments were performed to determine the size and mass distribution of firebrands generated from Douglas-Fir (pseudotsuga menziesii) trees. The results of the real scale fire experiments were used to determine firebrand sizes

Recommendation for Obtaining Assurances for Digital Signature Applications

November 30, 2006
Author(s)
Elaine B. Barker
Entities participating in the generation or verification of digital signatures depend on the authenticity of the process. This Recommendation specifies methods for obtaining the assurances necessary for valid digital signatures: assurance of domain
