Using the BACnet (R) firewall router

November 1, 2006
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg, Joel J. Bender, Michael A. Galler
The BACnet Firewall Router (BFR) is a BACnet router with security firewall functionality. As a firewall it allows network and address filtering plus network and application layer service filtering of BACnet communications according to a security policy

Work Function Characterization of TaSiN and TaCN Electrodes Using CV, IV, IPE and SKPM

November 1, 2006
Author(s)
Hao Xiong, Nhan V. Nguyen, Joseph J. Kopanski, John S. Suehle, Eric M. Vogel
Work function of TaSiN (TaCN) films on HfO2 or SiO2 gate dielectrics is investigated for the first time using a combination of Capacitance?Voltage, Fowler?Nordheim tunneling, internal Photoemission, and scanning Kelevin probe microscopy methods, which

PHAML User's Guide, Version 1.0

October 31, 2006
Author(s)
William F. Mitchell
PHAML (Parallel Hierarchical Adaptive MultiLevel) is a Fortran module for the solution of elliptic partial differential equations. It uses finite elements, adaptive grid refinement (h, p, or hp) and multigrid solution techniques in a message passing

The Fifth Text Retrival Conference [TREC-5]

October 30, 2006
Author(s)
Ellen M. Voorhees, Donna K. Harman
This paper is the track report for the TREC-5 confusion track. For TREC-5, retrieval from corrupted data was studied through retrieval of specific target documents from a corpus that was corrupted by applying OCR techniques to page images of varying

The Effect of Deprotection Extent on Swelling and Dissolution Regimes of Thin Polymer Films

October 28, 2006
Author(s)
Ashwin Rao, Shuhui Kang, B D. Vogt, Vivek M. Prabhu, Eric K. Lin, Wen-Li Wu, M Muthukumar
The response of unentangled polymer thin films to aqueous hydroxide solutions is measured as a function of increasing weakly-acidic methacrylic acid comonomer content produced by an in-situ reaction-diffusion process. Quartz crystal microbalance with

RFID Security: A Taxonomy of Risk

October 27, 2006
Author(s)
A Karygiannis, T. Phillips, A. Tsibertzopoulos
Radio Frequency Indentification (RFID) and other automated identification technologies (AIT) are being used by government and industry to replace barcodes and existing pen and paper processes in areas such as asset tracking, toll collection, supply chain

Accurate Modeling of Benchmark X-ray Spectra from Highly-Charged Ions of Tungsten

October 26, 2006
Author(s)
Y Ralchenko, Joseph N. Tan, John D. Gillaspy, Joshua M. Pomeroy, E Silver
We present detailed collisional-radiative modeling for the benchmark x-ray spectrum of highly-charged tungsten ions in the range between 3 \AA \ and 10 \AA produced in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) with a beam energy of 4.08 keV. Remarkably good

High Accuracy Calibration of Photon-Counting Detectors

October 25, 2006
Author(s)
Sergey V. Polyakov, Michael Ware, Alan L. Migdall
We discuss a practical implementation of a photon-counting detector calibration using correlated photon pairs produced by parametric down-conversion. In this calibration scheme, the detection of a first photon triggers the measurement sequence aimed at

High-Frequency Metrology at NIST: Current Programs and New Directions

October 25, 2006
Author(s)
Dennis S. Friday, Ronald A. Ginley
We provide an overview of the current state of high-frequency and microwave metrology programs at NIST, as well as a discussion of recent changes, emerging needs and exploratory new directions. A brief description of each of the core microwave metrology

Modeling MEMS Microhotplate Structures With SystemC

October 25, 2006
Author(s)
Ankush Varma, Muhammad Afridi, Akin Akturk, Paul Klein, Allen R. Hefner Jr., Bruce Jacob
Designers of SoCs with non-digital components, such as analog or MEMS devices, can currently use highlevel system design languages, such as SystemC, to model only the digital parts of a system. This is a significant limitation, since it makes key system

Review of ultraviolet and high power laser measurement standards at NIST

October 25, 2006
Author(s)
John H. Lehman, Christopher L. Cromer, Shao Yang, Marla L. Dowell
High accuracy laser radiometry is on the verge of growth and improvements just as new laser technologies are evolving. Our present tasks are directed toward anticipating and meeting the measurement needs in two areas; higher power and shorter wavelengths

SIM Time and Frequency Comparison Network in Near Real Time

October 25, 2006
Author(s)
Jose M. Lopez, Michael A. Lombardi, Andrew N. Novick, Jean-Simon Boulanger, Raymond Pelletier, Carlos Donado
A network for time and frequency comparisons within the Inter-American Metrology System (SIM) has been developed. The SIM time and frequency network uses the common-view Global Positioning System (GPS) method to compare frequency and time standards
