The National Institute of Standards and Technology?s Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (MEL)strengthens the U.S. economy and improves the quality of life by working with the U.S. manufacturing industry to develop and apply infrastructural technology

A Core Product Model for PLM with an Illustrative XML Implementation

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
Sebti Foufou, Steven J. Fenves, Conrad Bock, Sudarsan Rachuri, Ram D. Sriram
We propose a Core Product Model (CPM) for modeling product information suitable for supporting the information needs of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems over the lifecycle of the product from the earliest ideation to manufacturing, operation and

Application Aspects of IPv6 Transition

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
M K. Shin
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

Assembled Designs for Estimation of Location, Dispersion, and Random Effects

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
A Aviles, B E. Ankenman, J C. Pinheiro
In many experimental settings, different types of factors affect the measured response. The factors that can be set independently of each other are called crossed factors. Nested factors cannot be set independently because the level of one factor takes on

Atomic Ordering Induced Energy Gap Reductions in GaAsSb Epilayers

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
B P. Gorman, A G. Norman, R Lukic-Zrnic, T D. Golding, Anthony G. Birdwell, Christopher Littler
A series of GaAs1-xSbx epilayers (0.51≪x≪0.71) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates with surface orientations of (001), (001) -8° toward (111)A, (001) -8° toward (111)B, (115)A, (115)B, (113)A, and (113)B were investigated using temperature

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
P Hanzlik, S M. Diniz, A Grazini, Mircea Grigoriu, Emil Simiu
The methodology for estimating wind effects presented in this paper is based on the database-assisted design approach. It accounts for the effects of wind directionality, for the effects of the uncertainties in the parameters that determine wind effects
