TRECVID 2011 -- An Overview of the Goals, Tasks, Data, Evaluation Mechanisms, and Metrics

May 8, 2012
Author(s)
Paul D. Over, George M. Awad, Jonathan G. Fiscus, Brian Antonishek, Martial Michel, Alan Smeaton, Wessel Kraaij, Georges Quenot
The TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation (TRECVID) 2011 was a TREC-style video analysis and retrieval evaluation, the goal of which remains to promote progress in content-based exploitation of digital video via open, metrics-based evaluation. Over the last ten

An Overview of Polymer Electrolyte Membranes for Fuel Cell Applications

May 7, 2012
Author(s)
Brandon W. Rowe, Kirt A. Page
While fuel cells have receive considerable attention over the last 10-20 years, the history of hydrogen fuel cells dates back to 1838. It would take more than a century before polymers would be impletmented as an electrolyte for proton transport (1955) and

Antibacterial nanocomposites containing amorphous calcium phosphate and silver nanoparticles with different filler levels

May 7, 2012
Author(s)
Lei Cheng, Michael D. Weir, Hockin H. Xu, Joseph M. Antonucci, Nancy Lin, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Sarah M. Xu, Xuedong Zhou
A dental composite containing amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NACP) was developed that released high levels of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (PO4) ions and possessed acid neutralization capability. There has been little study on incorporation of

Inelastic Neutron Scattering on Polymer Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

May 7, 2012
Author(s)
Huagen H. Peng, Madhu Sudan Tyagi, Kirt A. Page, Christopher Soles
The relationship between ion transport and polymer dynamics is central to the pursuit of solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries. This understanding is critical to achieve solid polymer electrolyte systems of sufficiently high ion conductivities

Understanding Interfacial Structure of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

May 7, 2012
Author(s)
Kirt A. Page, Sangcheol Kim, Christopher L. Soles
Although substantial improvements have been demonstrated for fuel cell technology over the past decade, the major technical challenges as associated with cost and durability should be overcome for fuel cells to compete in real markets and achieve wide

Extending single-photon optimized superconducting transition edge sensors beyond the single-photon counting regime

May 6, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Brice R. Calkins, Nathan A. Tomlin, Adriana E. Lita, Alan L. Migdall, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
We illuminate a photon-number-resolving transition edge sensor with strong pulses of light containing up to 6.7 million photons (0.85 pJ per pulse). These bright pulses heat the sensor far beyond its transition edge into the normal resistance regime. We

On-chip, photon-number-resolving, telecom-band detectors for scalable photonic information processing

May 6, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Nick Thomas-Peter, James Gates, Adriana E. Lita, Benjamin Metcalf, Brice R. Calkins, Nathan A. Tomlin, Anna E. Fox, Antia A. Lamas-Linares, Justin Spring, Nathan Langford, Richard P. Mirin, Peter Smith, Ian Walmsley, Sae Woo Nam
We demonstrate an integrated photon-number resolving detector, operating in the telecom band at 1550 nm, employing an evanescently coupled design that allows the detector to be placed at arbitrary locations within a planar optical circuit. Up to 5 photons

Overview of Recent Atomic Spectroscopy At The NIST EBIT

May 5, 2012
Author(s)
John D. Gillaspy
Seven papers published by the NIST EBIT spectroscopy team and collaborators from mid-2009 to mid-2011 are summarized. Previous discussions of the D-lines in Na-like ions and the Lyman-alpha lines in H-like ions are updated with new information. Nine issues

Computational Seebeck Coefficient Measurement Simulations

May 2, 2012
Author(s)
Joshua B. Martin
We have employed finite element analysis to develop computational Seebeck coefficient metrology simulations. This approach enables a unique exploration of multiple probe arrangements and measurement techniques within the same temporal domain. To
