Transmission-line Parameter Approximation for Digital Simulation

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Dylan Williams, Christopher L. Holloway
This paper compares closed-form approximations for coplanar waveguide and microstrip transmission-line parameters to accurate measurements and full-wave calculations. We suggest improved approximations and demonstrate the limitations of our proposed and

Trial Shape-Sensitive Linewidth Measurement System

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
John S. Villarrubia, Andras Vladar, Michael T. Postek
This is a report for a project to develop a scanning electron microscope (SEM) based shape-sensitive linewidth measurement system by improving the method by improving the method by which SEM data are analyzed. We report significant developments in

Ultrafast Time-Resolved Soft X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Dissociating Br 2

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
L Nugent-Glandorf, M Scheer, D A. Samuels, A M. Mulhisen, E R. Grant, X Yang, V M. Bierbaum, S R. Leone
The dissociation of excited state Br 2 is probed with the novel technique of ultrafast soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Excited Br 2 molecules are prepared in the dissociative 1II u state with 80 fs 400 nm pulses, and a series of photoelectron

Ultraviolet Chambers Based on Integrating Spheres for Use In Artificial Weathering

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Joannie W. Chin, E Byrd, N Embree, Jonathan W. Martin, J D. Tate
Laboratory ultraviolet (UV) chambers are widely used to obtain weathering data for a wide range of commercial polymer products including coatings, textiles, elastomers, plastics and polymeric composites. Although numerous improvements have been made in the

Use of Legendre Transforms in Chemical Thermodynamics

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
R Alberty, J M. Barthel, E R. Cohen, Michael B. Ewing, Robert N. Goldberg, E Wilhelm
The fundamental equation of thermodynamics for the internal energy U may include terms for various types of work and involves only differentials of extensive variables. The fundamental equation for U yields intensive variables as partial derivatives of the

User's Guide to NIST Fingerprint Image Software (NFIS)

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Michael D. Garris, Craig I. Watson, R. McCabe, Charles L. Wilson
This report documents a public domain fingerprint image software distribution developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The software technology contained in this distribution is a

VAMAS: Accomplishments and Future Directions

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Stephen W. Freiman, E A. Early
The Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS) was created in 1982 to support trade through international collaboration in pre-standards research in advanced materials. VAMAS has become self-sustaining through Memoranda of Understanding

W3C Quality Assurance Activity Initiated

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Lynne S. Rosenthal
In order for web specifications to permit full interoperability and access to all, it is important that the quality of implementation be given as much attention as their development. Moreover, as the complexity of W3C specifications and their

Wireless Interfaces for IEEE 1451 Sensors Network

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
James D. Gilsinn, Kang B. Lee
NIST started working with industry and the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEEE) in the mid 90''s to develop a standardized interface to network smart sensors. With the spread of wireless technology, more industries are looking to incorporate wireless

X-Ray Spectra in the 12- to 60- keV Energy Range From Plasmas Produced by the OMEGA Laser

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
J Seely, R Deslattes, Lawrence T. Hudson, G Holland, R Atkin, D D. Meyerhofer, C Stoeckl
X-ray spectra in the energy range (12 to 60) keV were recorded by a transmission crystal spectrometer from targets irradiated by the 60 beam, difference} 30 kJ, OMEGA laser. The targets consisted of planar silver and goldfoils, spherical gold targets, and

X-Ray Tomography of Integrated Circuit Interconnects: Past and Future

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Zachary H. Levine
An Al-W-silica integrated circuit interconnect sample was thinned to several micro υ and scanned across a 200 nm focal spot of a Fresnel zone plate operating at photon energy of 1573 eV. The experiment was performed on beamline 2-ID-B of the Advanced

Real-Time Operating System Timing Jitter and its Impact on Motor Control

October 29, 2001
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, William P. Shackleford
General-purpose microprocessors are increasingly being used for control applications due to their widespread availability and software support for non-control functions like networking and operator interfaces. Two classes of real-time operating systems

The TREC Question Answering Track

October 29, 2001
Author(s)
Ellen M. Voorhees
The Text REtrieval Conference (TREC) question answering track is an effort to bring the benefits of large-scale evaluation to bear on a question answering (QA) task. The track has run twice so far, first in TREC-8 and again in TREC-9. In each case the goal

Chapter 19 Shock and Vibration Standards

October 22, 2001
Author(s)
Christopher J. Evans, H C. Pusey
Chapter 19 is concerned with shock and vibration standards covering: terminology; use and calibration of transducers and instrumentation; shock and vibration generators; structures and structural systems; vehicles including land-based, airborne, and ocean

Crossover From First-Order to Critical Wetting: Short-Range Tricritical Wetting

October 22, 2001
Author(s)
David J. Ross, D Bonn, A I. Posazhennikova, J O. Indekeu, J Meunier
We study wetting in liquid mixtures of methanol and the n-alkanes. Mixing alkanes of different chain lengths, we can examine the crossover between critical (continuous) and first-order (discontinuous) wetting transitions. Measurements of the film thickness
