Design of an On-Chip Micro-Scale Nanoassembly System

November 3, 2006
Author(s)
Jason J. Gorman, Yong Sik Kim, Andras Vladar, Nicholas Dagalakis
In this paper, the design and proposed operation of a MEMS-based nanoassembly system is presented. The nanoassembly system is comprised of four nanomanipulators that can work independently or cooperatively. The design of the nanomanipulators will be

VAST 2006 Contest - A tale of Alderwood

November 2, 2006
Author(s)
Georges Grinstein, Theresa O'Connell, Sharon J. Laskowski, Catherine Plaisant, Jean Scholtz, Mark Whiting
Visual analytics experts realize that one effective way to push the field forward and to develop metrics for measuring the performance of various visual analytics components is to hold an annual competition. The first Visual Analytics Science and

A Model of Deformable Rings for Interpretation of Wireless Capsule Endoscopic Videos

November 1, 2006
Author(s)
Piotr Szczypinski, Ram D. Sriram, Parupudi Sriram, Nageshwar Reddy
Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) provides a means to obtain a detailed video of the small intestine, not feasible with other endoscopic techniques. A single session with WCE may produce nearly 8 hours of video, which may take around one to two hours to

Access Control in BACnet

November 1, 2006
Author(s)
David Ritter, Bernhard Isler, Hans-Joachim Mundt, Stephen J. Treado
This article discusses the proposed additions to the BACnet standard to accommodate access control systems. The relationship of the BACnet model to typical building access control systems is described, and the new BACnet functionality outlined.

Characterizing Fiber Bragg Grating Index Profiles to Improve the Writing Process

November 1, 2006
Author(s)
Robert J. Espejo, Mikael Svalgaard, Shellee D. Dyer
We demonstrate an accurate method for identifying both systematic and random errors in a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) writing system and show its application to calibration of the writing process. We first measure the FBG impulse response using low-coherence

Chemical and Physical Characterization of Poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) Fibers Used in Body Armor: Temperature and Humidity Aging

November 1, 2006
Author(s)
Joannie W. Chin, E Byrd, Cyril Clerici, Amanda L. Forster, M Oudina, Li Piin Sung, Kirk D. Rice
In recent years, poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers have become prominent in high strength applications such as body armor, ropes and cables, and recreational equipment. The objectives of this study were to expose woven PBO body armor
