Measuring Color Quality of Light Sources

August 17, 2006
Author(s)
Wendy L. Davis, Yoshihiro Ohno
The successful commercialization of solid-state lighting for general illumination will require an effective method to characterize the color quality of these sources. The distinctive spectral characteristics of solid-state lighting sources present both

Encapsulated Chondrocyte Response to Pulsatile Flow Bioreactor

August 16, 2006
Author(s)
James A. Cooper, W Li, L A. Bailey, Steven D. Hudson, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Kristi S. Anseth, Rocky Tuan, N Washburn
We have developed a bioreactor using microfluidic techniques that allow for dynamic culture conditions and measurement of the fluid flow impinging upon a three-dimensional (3-D) tissue engineering (TE) scaffold. Chondrocytes in scaffolds have been shown to

Correlation Filters for Elastic-Distorted Live-Scan Fingerprint Recognition

August 15, 2006
Author(s)
D P. Casasent, Craig I. Watson
This is a summary of a multi-year study of the use of distortion-invariant filters for recognition of live-scan dab fingerprints with elastic distortions. These fingerprints are characterized by elastic distortions. NIST special database 24 is used; it

Minimum-Phase Calibration of Sampling Oscilloscopes

August 15, 2006
Author(s)
Andrew M. Dienstfrey, Paul D. Hale, Darryl A. Keenan, Tracy S. Clement, Dylan F. Williams
We describe an algorithm for determining the minimum phase of a linear time-invariant response function from its magnitude. The procedure is based on Kramers Kronig relations in combination with auxiliary direct measurements of the desired phase response

MPEG-7 Multimedia-based Query Format

August 15, 2006
Author(s)
Wo L. Chang
Searching multimedia content for image, audio, and video is getting more attention especially for personal media content due to the affordability of consumer electronic devices such as MP3 recordable players, digital cameras, DV camcorders, and well

Achieving Higher Photon Counting Rates Using Multiplexed Detectors

August 13, 2006
Author(s)
Stefania Castelletto, Ivo P. Degiovanni, Alan L. Migdall, Sergey Polyakov, V Schettini
As the quantum information field advances, the need for improved single-photon devices is becoming more critical. Quantum information systems are often limited by detector deadtime to count rates of a few MHz, at best. We present a multiplexed detection

Anti-Biofouling Properties of Comb-Like Block Copolymer With Amphiphilic Side-Chains

August 11, 2006
Author(s)
Sitaraman Krishnan, R Ayothi, A Hexemer, J Finlay, K E. Sohn, R Perry, Christopher K. Ober, E J. Kramer, M E. Callow, J A. Callow, Daniel A. Fischer
Surfaces of novel block copolymers with amphiphilic side chains were studied for adhesion of marine organisms. the surface-active polymer, obtained by grafting fluorinated molecules with hydrophobic and hydrophilic blocks to a block copolymer precursor

Retrieval and Clustering from a 3D Human Database based on Body and Head Shape

August 11, 2006
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper, we describe a framework for similarity based retrieval and Clustering from a 3D human database. Our technique is based on both body and head shape representation and retrieval based on similarity of both of them. The 3D human database used

Electrostatically gated Si devices: Coulomb blockade and barrier capacitance

August 10, 2006
Author(s)
Neil M. Zimmerman, Akira Fujiwara, Hiroshi Inokawa, Yasuo Takahashi
Using a new device resembling a nano-CCD, and measuring the Coulomb blockade, we identify a new parameter, the "barrier capacitance". We then show how this parameter can be used to learn about the underlying shape of the energy barrier under a gate with a

Analysis of Sensitivity of VCCTL Measurements to Various Input Quantities

August 9, 2006
Author(s)
Adriana Hornikova, Blaza Toman, Nien F. Zhang, Hung-Kung Liu, Robert C. Hagwood, Edward J. Garboczi, Jeffrey W. Bullard
Virtual measurements are the outputs of well-defined mathematical models based on theoretical principles and simulation algorithms. The VCCTL (Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory) is a software system built by the Material and Construction

Single-Molecule Charge Transport Measurements Reveal Technique-Dependant Perturbations

August 8, 2006
Author(s)
Dwight S. Seferos, A S. Blum, James G. Kushmerick, Guillermo Bazan
We compare scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging with single molecule conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) measurements by probing a series of structurally-related thiol-terminated oligo(phenylenevinylene)s (OPVs) designed to have unique charge

Stationary Phase Approximation for the Strength of Optical Feshbach Resonances

August 7, 2006
Author(s)
R Ciurylo, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
Analytic expressions for the width and shift of a photoassociative resonance or an optically induced Feshbach resonance in ultra-cold collisions are derived using the quasi-classical stationary phase approximation. This approach is applicable over a wider

The NIST Time Measurement and Analysis Service

August 7, 2006
Author(s)
Michael A. Lombardi, Andrew N. Novick
NIST now offers a new remote calibration service designed to assist laboratories who maintain a accurate local time standard. The service monitors the local time standard by continuously comparing it to the national time standard, and reports the

Calculation of the uncertainty of the mean of autocorrelated measurements

August 4, 2006
Author(s)
Nien-Fan Zhang
When repeated measurements are autocorrelated, it is not appropriate to use the traditional approach to calculate the uncertainty of the average of the measurements, which assumes that the measurements are statistically independent. In this paper, we
