Three-Dimensionally Structured CdS/CdTe Photovoltaics on Dual Interdigitated Back-Contacts

April 8, 2011
Author(s)
Carlos M. Hangarter, Behrang Hamadani, Ryan F. Need, Carlos R. Beauchamp, Hua Xu, John E. Bonevich, Nikolai Zhitenev, Daniel Josell
The fabrication and properties of three-dimensionally structured CdS/CdTe solar cells with back-contacts are described. Fabrication entails electrodeposition of CdS at submicrometer length scales on one of two metal electrodes interdigitated in a comb

A Survey of Binary Covering Arrays

April 7, 2011
Author(s)
James F. Lawrence, Raghu N. Kacker, Yu Lei, David R. Kuhn, Michael Forbes
Two-valued covering arrays of strength t are 0--1 matrices having the property that for each t columns and each of the possible 2t sequences of t 0's and 1's, there exists a row having that sequence in that set of t columns. Covering arrays are an

Evaluation of 3D Interest Point Detection Techniques

April 7, 2011
Author(s)
Helin Dutagaci, Chun Pan (Benny) Cheung, Afzal A. Godil
In this paper, we compare the results of five 3D interest point detection techniques to the interest points marked by human subjects. This comparison is used to quantitatively evaluate the interest point detection algorithms. We asked human subjects to

Photoemission Threshold Spectroscopy: MOS Band alignments

April 7, 2011
Author(s)
Nhan V. Nguyen
In this talk I will 1) briefly review SED’s history of the optical thin metrology project, 2) describe the principle of internal photoemission (IPE) and the applications to determine the band alignments of metal-oxide-semiconductor structures, and 3)

Salient Local 3D Features for 3D Shape Retrieval

April 7, 2011
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Asim Wagan
In this paper we describe a new formulation for the 3D salient local features based on the voxel grid inspired by the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). We use it to identify the salient keypoints (invariant points) on a 3D voxelized model and

SHREC11 Track: Shape Retrieval on Non-rigid 3D Watertight Meshes

April 7, 2011
Author(s)
Zhouhui Lian, Afzal A. Godil
Non-rigid 3D shape retrieval has become an important research topic in content-based 3D object retrieval. The aim of this track is to measure and compare the performance of non-rigid 3D shape retrieval methods implemented by different participants around

Specification for the Open Checklist Interactive Language (OCIL) Version 2.0

April 7, 2011
Author(s)
David A. Waltermire, Karen Scarfone, Maria Casipe
This report defines version 2.0 of the Open Checklist Interactive Language (OCIL). The intent of OCIL is to provide a standardized basis for expressing questionnaires and related information, such as answers to questions and final questionnaire results, so

Correlation of Variations in Thermoelectric and Microstructural Properties of P-type CeFe4Sb12 Melt-Spun Ribbons Using a Rapid Screening Method

April 6, 2011
Author(s)
Yonggao Y. Yan, Winnie K. Wong-Ng, James A. Kaduk, Gangjian Tan, Wenjie Xie, Martin L. Green, Xinfeng Tang
We have demonstrated the effect of gradients in both phase composition and microstructure of p-type CeFe4Sb12 melt-spun (MS) ribbons on Seebeck coefficient by a thermoelectric (TE) screening tool, in conjunction with XRD and DSC measurements. The spatial

From Electrons to Infrastructure: Engineering Concrete From The Bottom Up

April 6, 2011
Author(s)
Hamlin M. Jennings, Jeffrey W. Bullard
We argue that only an approach rooted in fundamental, mechanistic models of concrete materials offers a viable path for handling the enormous number of new variables that are being introduced as new materials are added to the design space, and as new
