NIST-ASME Workshop on Uncertainty in Dimensional Measurements

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Dennis A. Swyt
A 2 1/2-day workshop on problems in use of uncertainty in dimensional measurements sponsored by NIST and ASME was held June 5-7, 2001, at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD. The workshop was attended by fifty-six representatives of organizations including

NISURF-II, An Upgraded Surface Measuring Facility

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
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

Phase Dependence in Radar Cross Section Measurements

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Lorant A. Muth
A new measurement and analysis technique to isolate the background signals present in radar cross section measurements is presented. By definition the measured RCS of a target is independent of the measured phase, but it is not independent of the phase

Phase Equilibria of the SrO-Yb 2 O 3 -CuO x System in Air

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
J Dillingham, Winnie Wong-Ng, Igor Levin
The phase diagram of the SrO-Yb 2O 3-CuO x system was investigated in air. The solid solution (Sr 14-xYb x)Cu 24O z (O 13Yb)Cu 24O z indicated that this phase is incommensurate, with the modulation wave vector q=(1/2-z)c*, znearly equal to}0.066. The Sr

Photometry: Sensing Light Color

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Yoshihiro Ohno, Steven W. Brown
This article first addresses the need and importance of photometry and colorimetry for many products in our daily life- light bulbs in homes and offices; TV sets, computer monitors, headlights of cars, traffic lights, etc. Then the concepts of photometry

Prediction of Lateral and Normal Force-Displacement Curves for Flipchip Solder Joints

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Daniel Wheeler, Daniel Josell, James A. Warren, William E. Wallace
We present the results of experiments and modeling of flip-chip geometry solder joint shapes under shear loading. Modeling, using Surface Evolver, included development of techniques that use an applied vector force (normal and shear loading) as input to

Progress Towards Arrays of Microcalorimeter X-ray Detectors

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Sae Woo Nam, David A. Wollman, Dale Newbury, Gene C. Hilton, Kent D. Irwin, David A. Rudman, Steven Deiker, Norman F. Bergren, John M. Martinis
The high performance of single-pixel microcalorimeter EDS (υcal EDS) has been shown to be very useful for a variety of microanalysis cases. The primary advantage of υcal EDS over conventional EDS is that factor of 25 improvement in energy resolution (3 eV

Radiometric Characterization of Field Radiometers in Support of the 1997 Lunar Lake, Nevada, Experiment to Determine Surface Reflectance and Top-of-Atmosphere Radiance

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, Bettye C. Johnson, Howard W. Yoon, James J. Butler, R Barnes, S F. Biggar, P R. Spyak, Kurtis J. Thome, E F. Zalewski, M Helmlinger, C J. Bruegge, S Schiller, G Fedosejevs, R Gauthier, S Tsuchida, S Machida
A continuing series of field campaigns to Lunar Lake, Nevada, has been established for the development of ground-truth measurement protocols and assessment of measurement uncertainties for the ground-based calibration of on-orbit satellite sensors. In June

Reactivity of Vibrationally Excited Methane on Nickel Surfaces

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
L Halonen, S Bernasek, David Nesbitt
Four-Dimensional variational calculations have been performed for modeling energy flow between CH 2 stretching vibrational energy statesas the molecule adiabatically approaches a nickel surface. The model is based on a local mode Hamiltonian for isolated

REGTET: A Program for Computing Regular Tetrahedralizations

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Javier Bernal
REGTET, a Fortran 77 program for computing a regular tetrahedralization for a finite set of weighted points in 3-dimensional space, is discussed. REGTET is based on an algorithm by Edelsbrunner and Shah for constructing regular tetrahedralizations with

Sapphire Statistical Characterization and Risk Reduction Program

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
D R. McClure, R W. Cayse, David R. Black, S M. Goodrich, K Peter, D Lagerloef, D C. Harris, D McCullum, D H. Platus, C E. Patty, Robert S. Polvani
The Sapphire Statistical Characterization and Risk Reduction Program tested 1400 4-point flexure bars with different crystal orientations at different temperatures to establish a mechanical strength database for engineering design. Sapphire coupons were

Simulation-Based Shop Floor Control: Formal Model, Model Generation,

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, Y J. Son, R A. Wysk
The high cost of control software development and maintenance has been recognized as a significant problem inhibiting CIM solutions. In this paper, a structure and architecture for the rapid realization of a simulation-based real-time shop floor control

Sorptivity-Based Service Life Predictions for Concrete Pavements

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, M A. Ehlen, Chiara F. Ferraris, Edward J. Garboczi
The degradation of concrete pavements is often controlled by the transport of a deleterious species (chloride or sulfate ions, or water in the case of freeze/thaw) into the concrete. With this in mind, a three-year research project, funded by the Federal
