Collaboration Technologies for Global Manufacturing

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Michelle P. Steves, Amy Knutilla
One impact of the globalization of manufacturing is the growing requirement for teams that are not co-located to collaborate using shared information. In this paper, we present our approach to instituting and assessing collaboration technologies for

Concealment and Obstacle Detection for Autonomous Driving

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Tommy Chang, Tsai Hong Hong, Steven Legowik, Marilyn N. Abrams
Obstacle detection and mapping are essential for unmanned autonomous driving. This paper describes both the sensors and the supporting software used in our system for driving autonomously on cross-country roads. The Ladar Range Imaging Camera (EBK) is used

Criteria Analysis

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Neil Christopher, Jim G. Nell
This document describes a research project to recommend a decision tool that the Manufacturing Systems Integration Division (MSID) could use during its strategic-planning process to evaluate which standards activities to support. This paper describes the

Diffusion in Partially Saturated Porous Materials

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Nicos Martys
The diffusive transport of ions in two classes of porous media was studied as a function of fluid saturation and wetting properties. A lattice Boltzmann method was used to model phase separation of a binary mixture, including wetting effects, in porous

Effect of Heating Boundary Conditions on Pool Boiling Experiments

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
J Darabi, M M. Ohadi, M A. Fanni-Tabrizi, S V. Dessiatoun, Mark A. Kedzierski
The two widely used experimental methods for pool boiling experiments are evaluated. Boiling heat transfer data employing either the water or electric heating method obtained by various researchers are compared and discussed. The electric heating method is

Effect of Solvent Quality on the Molecualr Dimensions of PAMAM Dendrimers

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
A Topp, Barry J. Bauer, D A. Tomalia, Eric J. Amis
The average dimensions of poly (amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation numbers G5 and G8 are measured by small angle neutron scattering as a function of solvents of different quality, of the composition of mixtures of a good solvent and a non

Electron Collision Cross Section Data For Plasma Modeling

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
W M. Huo, Yong Sik Kim
An overview of the current status in electron collision cross section database for plasma modeling is presented. Emphasis is on dissociation, ionization, and dissociative ionization. The effect of the operating conditions on the relative importance of

Energy Conserving Discrete Boltzmann Equation for Nonideal Systems

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Nicos Martys
The BBGKY formalism is utilized to obtain a set of moment equations to be satisfied by the collision operator in an energy conserving discrete Boltzmann equation for the case of a nonlocal interaction potential. A modified BGK form of the collision

Fast Probing Considerations for On-Machine Inspection of Parts

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Alice V. Ling, Neil D. Wilkin
A calibration procedure for on-machine probing is developed. This is necessary if the machine is used as a coordinate measuring machine to measure the absolute part dimensions. This is most crucial in turning machines where the turret is unable to go below

Frequency-Dependent Viscosity of Xenon Near the Critical Point

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, Michael R. Moldover, G A. Zimmerli
We used a novel, overdamped oscillator aboard the Space Shuttle to measure the viscosity Η of xenon near its critical density ρ c and temperature T c. In microgravity, useful data were obtained within 0.1 mK of T c, corresponding to a reduced temperature t

Guest Editorial Article (Foreword)

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi, L Hanzo
This article provides a short overview of past and present advancements in mobile communication systems, as well as identifying major challenges for the future generation of wireless technologies. Its main objective is to scan the special issue of the
