Algorithm xxx: Airy Functions

December 15, 2004
Author(s)
Bruce R. Fabijonas, Daniel W. Lozier, Frank W. Olver
We present a Fortran 90 module which computes the solutions of Airy's differential equation, and their derivatives, both on the real line and in the complex plane. The computational methods are numerical integration of the differential equation and

Semiconductor Factory and Equipment Clock Synchronization for e-Manufacturing

December 15, 2004
Author(s)
Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Brad Van Eck
This study describes the potential methods, challenges, and recommendations for addressing factory and equipment clock synchronization and time stamping. The report also discusses why these are critical to the industry as the upcoming generations of tools

STEP, XML, and UML: Complementary Technologies

December 15, 2004
Author(s)
Russell S. Peak, Joshua Lubell, Vijay Srinivasan, Stephen C. Waterbury
One important aspect of product lifecycle management (PLM)is the computer-sensible representation of product information. Over the past 15 years or so, several languages and technologies have emerged that vary in their emphasis and applicability for such

Transport coefficients of the Lennard-Jones model fluid. III. Bulk viscosity

December 15, 2004
Author(s)
Karsten Meier, Arno D. Laesecke, Stephan Kabelac
In an extensive computer simulation study, the transport coefficients of the Lennard-Jones model fluid were determined with high accuracy from equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. In the frame of time-correlation function theory, the generalized

Interlayer Exchange Coupling

December 13, 2004
Author(s)
Mark D. Stiles
In magnetic multilayers, in which ferromagnetic layers are separated by non-magnetic spacer layers, the magnetizations are coupled by interactions across the spacer layer. One type of coupling, bilinear exchange coupling, originates from the quantum well

Samples and Standards

December 13, 2004
Author(s)
Richard M. Lindstrom, C Yonezawa
For analytical accuracy, the detailed interaction of neutrons with the sample is of more importance in prompt-gamma activation analysis (PGAA) with a neutron beam than in conventional activation analysis. Selection of an optimum sample size and shape is

Zigzag-shaped magnetic sensors

December 13, 2004
Author(s)
Fabio C. da Silva, Willard C. Uhlig, Anthony B. Kos, Susan A. Schima, Joe Aumentado, John Unguris, David P. Pappas
Magnetism in zigzag-shaped thin-film elements is investigated using scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis, magnetotransport measurements, and micromagnetic simulations. We find that the angle of magnetization alternates along the length

Report of the 89th National Conference on Weights and Measures

December 9, 2004
Author(s)
Kenneth S. Butcher, Steven E. Cook, Linda D. Crown, K M. Dresser, H V. Oppermann, R C. Suiter, Juana S. Williams
The 89th Annual Meeting of the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) was held July 11 through July 15, 2004, at the Pittsburgh Hilton and Towers in Pittsburgh, PA. The theme of the meeting was, Changes and Opportunities. Reports by the NCWM

Adding Water Vapor Radiometer Data to GPS Carrier-Phase Time Transfer

December 7, 2004
Author(s)
C Hackman, Judah Levine
When analyzing GPS carrier-phase time transfer (GPSCPTT) data, it is often necessary to estimate the zenith troposphere delay (ZTD) at each site as a function of time. That is because the index of refraction of the troposphere varies rapidly. Both the ZTD

Coping with Overload on the Network Time Protocol Public Servers

December 7, 2004
Author(s)
David Mills, Judah Levine, Richard Schmidt, David Plonka
The public time servers operated by USNO and NIST provide time synchronization, directly or indirectly, to millions of Internet computers today. The load in the form of processor cycles and network traffic has doubled in the last two years and could

Microfabricated Atomic Clocks at NIST

December 7, 2004
Author(s)
Svenja A. Knappe, P Schwindt, Vladislav Gerginov, V Shah, Leo W. Hollberg, John E. Kitching, Li-Anne Liew, John Moreland
In this paper we present the latest progress in the development, fabrication, and characterization of a microfabricated atomic frequency reference at NIST. With volumes below 10 mm3 the physics packages contain the complete integrated assembly for probing

Models and Confidence Intervals for True Values in Interlaboratory Trials

December 6, 2004
Author(s)
Hariharan K. Iyer, Chih-Ming Wang, T Mathew
We consider the one-way random effects model with unequal sample sizes and heterogeneous variances. Using the method of generalized confidence intervals, we develop a new confidence interval procedure for the mean. Additionally, we investigate two

McMurdie

December 3, 2004
Author(s)
Alan D. Mighell, Gasper J. Piermarini, Winnie K. Wong-Ng
Howard F. McMurdie - known as Mac to his friends oa colleagues--was an exemplar of good living. Blessed with excellent health, a loving family, and many close colleagues, Mac was active and productive to the very end. It is therefore with the deepest

Realization of quantum error correction

December 2, 2004
Author(s)
J Chiaverini, Dietrich G. Leibfried, Tobias Schaetz, Murray D. Barrett, Brad R. Blakestad, Joseph W. Britton, Wayne M. Itano, John D. Jost, Emanuel H. Knill, C. Langer, R Ozeri, David J. Wineland
Scalable quantum computation and communication require error control to protect quantum information against unavoidable noise. Quantum error correction protects quantum information stored in two-level quantum systems (qubits) by rectifying errors with

A Multilens Measurement Platform for High-Throughput Adhesion Measurements

December 1, 2004
Author(s)
Aaron M. Forster, Weiping Zhang, Christopher Stafford
There are few methods available for performing high-throughput adhesion measurements. Current high-throughput methodologies for measuring interfacial adhesion rely on serial or sequential testing of discrete or continuous libraries. Alternatively, we have
