NIST Ionization Chamber "A" Sample-Height Corrections

February 2, 2012
Author(s)
Ryan P. Fitzgerald
For over 30 years scientists in the NIST radioactivity group have been using their ionization chamber “A” to make measurements of radioactivity and radioactive half-lives. We now have evidence that some of those reported measurements were incorrect due to

Standardization of Broadband UV Measurements for 365 nm LED Sources

February 2, 2012
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer
Broadband UV measurements are analyzed when UV-A irradiance meters measure optical radiation from 365-nm sources. The CIE standardized rectangular-shape UV-A function can be realized only with large spectral mismatch errors. The spectral power-distribution

A statistical study of de-embedding applied to eye diagram analysis

February 1, 2012
Author(s)
Paul D. Hale, Jeffrey A. Jargon, Chih-Ming Wang, Brett Grossman, Matthew Claudius, Jose Torres, Andrew M. Dienstfrey, Dylan F. Williams
We describe a stable method for calibrating digital waveforms and eye diagrams using the measurement system response function and its regularized inverse. The function describing the system response includes the response of the oscilloscope and any

Absolute measurements of x-ray backlighter sources at energies above 10 keVa)

February 1, 2012
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, B.R. Maddox, H.S. Parks, B A. Remington, C. Chen, S Chen, S. T. Prisbrey, A. Comley, C A. Back, C. Szabo, John F. Seely, Uri Feldman, Stephen M. Seltzer, M. J. Haugh, Z. Ali
Line emission and broadband x-ray sources with x-ray energies above 10 keV have been investigated using a range of calibrated x-ray detectors for use as x-ray backlighters in high energy density (HED) experiments. The conversion efficiency of short- and

Building Security into Off-the-Shelf Smartphones

February 1, 2012
Author(s)
Angelos Stavrou, Jeff Voas, Tom T. Karygiannis, Stephen Quirolgico
Recent advancements in hardware have increased the computing power, memory, storage, and wireless connectivity of handheld mobile devices. Smart-phone devices are used for everyday activities that range from Maps and Geo-location tagging to banking. Indeed

Dispersion-Strengthened Silver Alumina for Sheathing Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x Multifilamentary Wire

February 1, 2012
Author(s)
Amir Kajbafvala, William Nachtrab, Xifeng Lu, Frank Hunte, Xiaotao Liu, Najib Cheggour, Terence Wong, Justin Schwartz
High strength, high modulus dispersion strengthened (DS) silver-aluminum alloys are studied for sheathing Bi 2Sr 2CaCu 2O8 +x (Bi2212) round wire. Dispersion strengthening is an effective method for producing a fine grain metallurgical structure that is

Hyperspectral Imaging of Ischemic Wounds

February 1, 2012
Author(s)
David W. Allen
Optical imaging has the potential to achieve high spatial resolution and high functional sensitivity in wound assessment. However, clinical acceptance of many optical imaging devices is hampered by poor reproducibility, low accuracy, and lack of biological
