John S. Garofolo
This paper demonstrates that, for large-scale tests, the match and non-match similarity scores have no specific underlying distribution function. The forms of these distribution functions require a nonparametric approach for the analysis of the fingerprint

Manufacturing of Prostheses

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Matthew A. Davies, Ronald G. Dixson
This paper is a summary of a workshop session during the Workshop on Biomedical Materials and Devices, held June 13 -14, 2001. The workshop is part of a series of workshops and topical meetings organized by NIST in the area of biomedical technology. The

Measuring T g in Ultra-Thin Polymer Films With an Excimer Fluorescence Technique

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Christopher C. White, Kalman D. Migler, Wen-Li Wu
An excimer fluorescence technique has been applied to the measurement of T g of ultra-thin polystyrene films. This technique utilizes an excimer-forming molecule with fluorescent emission in two wavelength bands. The intensity ratio of these bands is a

Measuring the Frequency Response of Gigabit Chip Photodiodes

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Paul D. Hale, Tracy S. Clement, Dylan F. Williams, E. Balta, N. D. Taneja
We describe a calibratin and measurement procedure for determining the intrinsic frequency response fo gigabit chip photodiodes embedded in simple test fixtures. The procedure is unique because we make the measurements in the time-domain using a calibrated

Measuring the Impact of Information on Complex Systems

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, Larry H. Reeker
The application of power-driven machinery to manufacturing and other areas of human endeavor characterized the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. Measurement contributed in many ways to the increasing economic influence of these machines

Microstructural Characterization Studies to Relate the Properties of Thermal Spray Coatings to Feedstock and Spray Conditions

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Andrew J. Allen, Gabrielle G. Long, H Boukari, J Ilavsky, A Kulkarni, S Sampath, H Herman, A N. Goland
This paper reports how the microstructural information, obtainable for thick plasma-sprayed ceramic deposits by small-angle scattering can be used to explore the relationships among the feedstock or spray process conditions, the anisotropic void and crack

Microstructural Properties of (Ba,Sr)Ti0 3 Films Fabricated from BaF 2 /SrF 2 /Ti0 2 Amorphouse Multilayers Using the Combinatorial Precursor Method

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Ichiro Takeuchi, K S. Chang, R P. Sharma, Leonid A. Bendersky, H C. Chang, X D. Xiang, E A. Stach, C Y. Song
We have investigated the microstructure of (Ba,Sr)Ti0 3 films fabricated from BaF 2/SrF 2/Ti0 2 amorphouse multilayers. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction studies show that a controlled thermal treatment can interdiffuse the

Molecular Templating of Nanoporous Ultralow Dielectric Constant (approximate to 1.5) Organosilicates by Tailoring the Microphase Separation of Triblock Copolymers

S Z. Zahwi, M F. Koura, Thomas Brian Renegar, A M. Mekawi
During 1982-1985, a cooperative project was made between the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) at that time (now National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST - USA)) and the National Institute for Standards (NIS - Egypt) to establish a

Object Identification Using Bar Codes Based on LADAR Intensity

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
William C. Stone, Geraldine S. Cheok, K M. Furlani, David E. Gilsinn
Tests of a novel concept for tracking construction components were carried out at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The approach makes use of laser radar and retro-reflective barcodes attached to manufactured building materials. Tests
