Analysis of Deformation-Induced Surface Morphologies in Steel Sheet

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Mark R. Stoudt, Joseph B. Hubbard
The surfaces of strained mild steel sheet specimens were examined with scanning laser confocal microscopy. Rigorous assessments were employed to establish the form of the roughness data. The small deviations from the ideal conditions observed in these

Application of Beamforming in Wireless Location Estimation

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Kamran Sayrafian
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled

Chaotic Scattering and Escape Times of Marginally Trapped Ultracold Neutrons

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Kevin Coakley, J M. Doyle, S N. Dzhosyuk, L Yang, Paul R. Huffman
We compute classical trajectories of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in a superconducting Ioffe-type magnetic trap using a symplectic integration method. We find that the computed escape time for a particular set of initial conditions (momentum and position)

Comments on IEEE 802.21, IEEE 802.21-05-0289, San Francisco, CA

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Nicolas Montavont, Richard A. Rouil, Nada T. Golmie
We examine the performance of multimodal biometric authentication systems using state-of-the-art Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) fingerprint and face biometric systems on a population approaching 1,000 individuals. Majority of prior studies of multimodal

Data Exchange for Machine Shop Simulation

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun Lee, Yan Luo
Manufacturing simulation systems normally provide inter-faces for data import and export using proprietary formats. Dependent data interfaces limit simulation applications in the manufacturing industry. This paper describes a mecha-nism for transferring

Data Transfer Strategy for Machine Shop Simulation

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun Lee, Yan Luo
Manufacturing simulation systems normally provide interfaces for data import and export using proprietary formats. Dependent data interfaces limit simulation applications in the manufacturing industry. This paper describes a mechanism for transferring data

Deploying Wireless PANs and LANs for eHealth

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Nada T. Golmie
We examine the performance of multimodal biometric authentication systems using state-of-the-art Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) fingerprint and face biometric systems on a population approaching 1,000 individuals. Majority of prior studies of multimodal

Device and Technology Evolution for Si-Based RF Integrated Circuits

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Herbert S. Bennett, Ralf Brederlow, Julio Costa, Peter Cottrell, Margaret Huang, Anthony A. Immorlica, Jan-Erik Mueller, Marco Racanelli, Hisashi Shichijo, Charles E. Weitzel, Bin Zhao
The relationships between device feature size and device performance figures of merit (FoMs) are more complex for RF applications than for digital applications. Using the devices in the key circuit blocks for typical RF transceivers, we review and give

Distributed Modeling and Framework for Collaborative Embedded System Design

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
XuanFang Zha, Ram D. Sriram
In this paper, we develop distributed design models and framework for collaborative embedded system design. Based on the component-based approach, a unified design-with-modules scheme is proposed to model the embedded system design process and a web-based

Dynamic Model: Concerts and Usage Rules

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Leonard J. Gallagher
The National Software Reference Library (NSRL) of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) collects software from various sources and publishes file profiles computed from this software (such as MD5 and SHA-1 hashes) as a Reference

Economic Value of Combined Best Practice Use

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
S H. Lee, Stephen R. Thomas, C L. Macken, Robert E. Chapman, R L. Tucker, I H. Kim
This paper measures the value of best practices based on data taken from the Construction Industry Institute Benchmarking and Metrics database. A three-step process provides the basis for measuring the potential benefits of increased best practice use

Evaluation of Indoor Localization Techniques

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Camillo Gentile, Kamran Sayrafian, Nader Moayeri
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled

Exploration of Potential Energy Saving From Smart Appliances

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti
Technological innovations coupled with the decreasing costs of sensors have brought about a new generation of Smart appliances. While current sensor-based appliances have shown the potential to offer consumers increased options for energy and cost savings
