Using a Laser Tracker to Actively Coordinate the Motion of a 3m Industrial Robot to Within 50 Microns: An ongoing effort to accurately determine and correct positioning errors.

October 1, 2013

David R. Novotny, Joshua A. Gordon, Jason B. Coder, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Michael H. Francis
We are using industrial-grade robotics guided by a metrology-grade laser tracker to perform antenna calibrations at mmWave frequencies. We are using a 3 m-reach robot to spherically scan a milli-meter Wave (mmWave) probe around an antenna under test (AUT)

Calibration of IR Test Chambers with the Missile Defense Transfer Radiometer

The Missile Defense Transfer Radiometer (MDXR) is designed to calibrate infrared collimated and flood sources over the fW/cm2 to W/cm2 power range from 3 m to 28 m in wavelength. The MDXR operates in three different modes: as a filter radiometer, a

Correlations Between Structure and Gas-Adsorption/Separation Properties of Metal-Organic Frameworks

September 30, 2013
Author(s)
Wendy L. Queen, Jason Lee, Miguel Gonzalez, Stephen J. Geier, Jarad A. Mason, Jeffrey R. Long, Craig Brown, Matthew Ross Hudson, Simon J. Teat
To help reduce industrial CO 2 emissions, better materials are required to lower the parasitic energy associated with current carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies. As a result, much emphasis has been placed on the design of new porous

Diffusive Transport of Multiwall carbon nanotubes through an HDPE geomembrane

September 30, 2013
Author(s)
Pooneh Taghizadeh-Saheli, R. K. Rowe, Elijah Petersen, Denis O'Carroll
Carbon nanotubes are used in a wide range of consumer products. During the last few years, the applications for, and production of, carbon nanotubes has increased substantially. Due to their potential environmental and human health risks and eventual

Enhancement of lanthanide evaporation by complexation: DyI3/InI and TmI3/TlI

September 30, 2013
Author(s)
John J. Curry, Albert Henins, Jonathan E. Hardis, E. G. Estupinan, W. P. Lapatovich, S. D. Shastri
The vapors in equilibrium with condensates of DyI$_3$, DyI$_3$/InI, TmI$_3$, and TmI$_3$/TlI have been observed over the temperature range 900 K to 1400 K using x-ray induced fluorescence. The total densities of each element (Dy, Tm, In, Tl, and I) in the

Functional Constraints and the Design of a New Watt Balance

September 30, 2013
Author(s)
Leon S. Chao, Stephan Schlamminger, Jon R. Pratt
The functional constraints driving the design of the new permanent-magnet driven watt balance (NIST-4) outline the variables and compromises worthy of addressing. Construction according to these design parameters will demonstrate the high precision

Method for Assessing the Potential Effects of Nanoparticles and other Emerging Contaminants on the Catabolic Capabilities of Microbiological Communities

September 30, 2013
Author(s)
Kela Weber, Elijah Petersen, Sonja Bissegger, L. Rehmann, Robin Slawson, Raymond Legge, Denis O'Carroll
With an increasing utilization of nanoparticles (NPs) in consumer products, the potential for release to the environment also increases. It is thus imperative that methods to test their potential effects in ecosystems are developed. This study describes an
