Ventilation Characterization of a New Manufactured House

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, J Crum, Steven J. Nabinger, M Lubliner
A new, double-wide manufactured home has been installed on the NIST campus for ventilation, energy and indoor air quality studies. The primary purposes of the facility are to study the mechanical ventilation requirements for manufactured homes in the U.S

Wavelength and Temperature Performance of Polarization Transforming Fiber

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Allen Rose, N. Feat, Shelley M. Etzel
We have theoretically and experimentally investigated an optical fiber with circular eigenmodes on one end and linear polarization modes on the other end. We call this fiber a polarization-transforming fiber because the local modes, or polarization states

XInclude Test Suite Version 2, XML Core Working Group

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Sandra Martinez
The goal of this document is to help W3C editors write better specifications, by making a specification easier to interpret without ambiguity and clearer as to what is required in order to conform. It focuses on how to define and specify conformance. It

Angle Metrology Using AAMACS and Two Small-Angle Measurement Systems

November 28, 2003
Author(s)
Jack A. Stone Jr., M Amer, Bryon S. Faust, Jay H. Zimmerman
The highest accuracy method for angle measurement employed at NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology) makes use of an automated stack of three indexing tables-- our Advanced Automated Master Angle Calibration System (AAMACS)-- in conjunction

MEMS-based Embedded Sensor Virtual Components for SoC

November 25, 2003
Author(s)
Muhammad Afridi, Allen R. Hefner Jr., David W. Berning, Colleen E. Hood, Ankush Varma, Bruce Jacob, Stephen Semancik
Advancement in MEMS-based sensors brings a new challenge for system-on-a-chip (SoC) design integration where analog and digital circuits coexist on a common substrate with the actual sensing platform. Integration of these MEMS-based sensors into an SoC

Force Control of Linear Motor Stages for Microassembly

November 21, 2003
Author(s)
Jason J. Gorman, Nicholas Dagalakis
The microassembly of microelectromechanical systems from various micro-components requires the development of many new robotic capabilities. One of these capabilities is force control for handling micro-scale components with force control resolution on the

Wavelength-Tracking Capabilities of a Fabry-Perot Cavity

November 20, 2003
Author(s)
Jack A. Stone Jr., Alois Stejskal
We have characterized the accuracy of atmospheric wavelength tracking based on a laser servolocked to a simple Fabry-Peron cavity. The motivations are (1) to explore a method for air refractive index measurement and (2) to determine the stability and

A Photoconductivity Technique for the Assessment of Pigment Reactivity

November 19, 2003
Author(s)
Joannie W. Chin, S J. Scierka, T Kim, Amanda L. Forster
Large volumes of titanium dioxide (TiO2) are utilized each year in coatings, sealants, plastics and paper for opacification and pigmentation purposes. It is well known that the photoreactivity of TiO2 can contribute to the degradation of the material that

Reversible axial-strain effect and extended strain limits in Y-Ba-Cu-O coatings on deformation-textured substrates

November 17, 2003
Author(s)
Najib Cheggour, John (Jack) W. Ekin, Cameron C. Clickner, D. T. Verebelyi, C. L. H. Thieme, Ron Feenstra, P Goyal
The dependence of transport critical-current density (J c) on axial tensile strain (ε) was measured at 76 K and self-magnetic field for YBa 2Cu 3O 7-δ (YBCO) coatings on buffered, deformation-textured substrates of pure Ni, Ni-5at.%-W, and Ni-10-at.%Cr-2

Neighborhood-Scale Fire Spread

November 16, 2003
Author(s)
Ronald G. Rehm, D. D. Evans, William E. Mell, Simo A. Hostikka, Kevin B. McGrattan, Glenn P. Forney, Charles E. Bouldin, Elisa S. Baker
This paper describes development of a physics-based mathematical and computational model to predict fire spread among structures and natural fuels (trees, shrubs and ground litter). This tool will be used to understand how fires spread in a community where

Time-Domain Measurements of Radiated and Conducted Ultrawideband Emissions

November 16, 2003
Author(s)
Robert T. Johnk, David R. Novotny, Chriss A. Grosvenor, Seturnino Canales, Jason Veneman
This paper summarizes results obtained from time-domain full-bandwidth emissions measurements of selected ultrawideband (UWB) transmitting devices. Brief descriptions of two NIST-developed measurement systems are provided. High-fidelity time-domain

An XPS Study on the Effects of Pigment on the UV Degradation of an Epoxy System

November 14, 2003
Author(s)
S J. Scierka, Amanda L. Forster, Wendy E. Kosik, Jonathan W. Martin
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful tool that has been used to monitor the changes in chemistry on the surface of many materials. In this study it is used to examine the chemical changes in an epoxy system formulated with and without

Certification of Standard Reference Material 1474a, A Polyethylene Resin

November 14, 2003
Author(s)
J R. Maurey, Kathleen M. Flynn, Charles M. Guttman
The melt flow rate of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1474a, a linear polyethylene (narrow MWD ethylene-hexene copolymer) resin, was determined to be 5.10 g/10 min at 190 OC under a load of 2.16 kg using the ASTM Method D 1238-00. The average results

1st Annual PKI Research Workshop Proceedings

November 12, 2003
