On The Reversion of an Asymptotic Expansion and the Zeros of the Airy Functions

January 15, 1999
Author(s)
Bruce R. Fabijonas, Frank W. Olver
The general theories of the derivation of inverses of functions from their power series and asymptotic expansions are discussed and compared. The asymptotic theory is applied to obtain asymptotic expansions of the zeros of the Airy functions and their

Secure Web-Based Access to High-Performance Computing Resources

January 15, 1999
Author(s)
R P. McCormack, J E. Koontz, J E. Devaney
An authentication framework is described that provides a secure meansor clients to access remote computing resources via the Web. Clientsauthenticate themselves to a proxy Web server using a secure protocoland a digital certificate. The server constructs a

Ultra-Thin Film Dielectric Reliability Characterization

January 15, 1999
Author(s)
John S. Suehle
The reliability of gate oxides is becoming a critical concern as oxide thickness is scaled below 4 nm in future technology nodes. The breakdown detection algorithms in traditional reliability characterization techniques must be modified for very thin films

A Java-Based Tool for Testing the Interoperable MPI Protocol

January 12, 1999
Author(s)
William L. George, John G. Hagedorn, J E. Devaney
Java and the World Wide Web are used as the basis of a tool that tests conformance with the InteroperableMessage Passing Interface communication protocol. The user accesses the system through a Java applet thatActs as the interface to a test server that is

Electronic Structure and Spectra of Oxovanadium Silicate

January 11, 1999
Author(s)
Morris Krauss
The electronic structure and spectroscopy of the oxovanadium catalytic center on a silica surface is modeled with the molecule OV(OSIH 3)3. Excited electronic states are examined at optimized geometries for the ground singlet and triplet states. For both

Next Generation Fire Suppression Technology Program (NGP)

January 7, 1999
Author(s)
Richard G. Gann
The Next-Generation Fire Suppression Program (NGP), now in its second year, has as its goal the development by 2004 of alternative firefighting technologies to Halon 1301 that can be economically implemented in aircraft, ships, land combat vehicles, and

Standards for the rapid prototyping industry

January 4, 1999
Author(s)
Kevin K. Jurrens
This paper proposes that development of formalized standards for the rapid prototyping (RP) industry will help enable the continued growth and further advancement of RP technologies. Appropriate standards can provide common methods for measuring the

1998 Activities, Accomplishments, and Recognitions

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
Noel J. Raufaste Jr
The Natioinal Institute of Standards and Technology's Building and Fire Research Laboratory (NIST/BFRL), one of NIST's measurements and standards laboratories, provides the measurement technologies, performance prediction methods, and technical advances

A Comparison of Different Micromagnetic Solvers

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
L L. Diaz, J G. Eicke, Edward Della Torre
Micromagnetic equations have characteristics that differ from electromagnetic field problems. Under certain conditions, EM solvers are not very efficient. This paper compares the speed of several micromagnetic solvers on two different problems.

A Constrained Monte Carlo Simulation Method for the Calculation of CMM Measurement Uncertainty

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
Steven D. Phillips, Bruce R. Borchardt, Daniel S. Sawyer, William T. Estler, K Eberhardt, M Levenson, Marjorie A. McClain, Ted Hopp
We describe a Monte Carlo simulation technique where known information about a metrology system is employed as a constraint to distinguish the errors associated with the instrument under consideration from the set of all possible instrument errors. The
