A Feature-Based Machining System Using STEP

November 30, 1998
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, Thomas Kramer
Discrete part manufacturing flows from a design phase in which product information is defined to a manufacturing phase in which the processes are planned and executed. Process planning typically culminates with the generation of numerical control (NC)

Common Criteria: Launching the International Standards

November 25, 1998
Author(s)
E F. Troy
This Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Bulletin provides an introduction and overview of the Common Criteria (CC) for Information Technology (IT) Security and describes its US and multi-national implementation. The CC is the new standard for

Four-Color Matrix Method for Correction of Tristimulus Colorimeters Part 2

November 20, 1998
Author(s)
Yoshihiro Ohno, Steven W. Brown
The Four-Color Method was developed to improve the accuracy of tristimulus colorimeters for measurements of color displays. It was verified that the method works well for CRTs. The accuracy of this method has been studied further for spectral variations of

NIST Reference Spectroradiometer for Color Display Calibrations

November 20, 1998
Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, Yoshihiro Ohno
A program has recently been established at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop calibration services for color-measuring instruments to address commercial and industrial needs for higher-accuracy measurements of displays. In

Sensitivity Examination of the airEXODUS Aircraft Evacuation Simulation Model

November 16, 1998
Author(s)
Richard W. Bukowski, Richard D. Peacock, Walter W. Jones
The Building and Fire Research Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been a leader in the development, application and evaluation of models for the simulation of fires and the associated hazards and risk to people

Electrochemical Quantitation of DNA Immobilized on Gold

November 15, 1998
Author(s)
A B. Steel, T M. Herne, Michael J. Tarlov
We have developed an electrochemical method to quantify the surface density of DNA immobilized on gold. The surface density of DNA, more specifically the number of nucleotide phosphate residues, is calculated from the amount of cationic redox marker

Enhancing Competitiveness Via a Public Fault & Failure Data Repository

November 13, 1998
Author(s)
D Wallace
you are leading a project with managers from other company divisions and want to conduct software inspections on the code. Some managers do not believe inspections add value. To support your case, you access a public data base containing software fault and

Convective Accelerometer and Tilt Sensor in CMOS Technology

November 12, 1998
Author(s)
V. Milanovic, E. D. Bowen, N. H. Tea, Michael Gaitan, Mona E. Zaghloul
This paper describes a CMOS implementation of novel ID and 2D accelerometers that operate based on heat convection, requiring no solid proof mass. The devices consist of micromachined microheaters and thermocouple sensors separated by a gap and placed in

Effects of Feature Orientation in Tomographic Reconstructions

November 6, 1998
Author(s)
A R. Kalukin, Zachary H. Levine, S P. Frigo, I McNulty, M Kuhn
An imaging experiment has been performed at the Advanced Photon source for the purpose of making and three-dimensional visualization of a test sample containing an interconnect. Nine nanographs were made using 1573 eV photons and a scanning transmission x

Annual Conference on Fire Research: Book of Abstracts. November 2-5, 1998.

November 2, 1998
Author(s)
Kellie A. Beall
The NIST Annual Conference on Fire Research has long been the prime forum for presentation and discussion of the latest advances in the science of fire and the engineering of fire safety. This booklet contains the abstracts of the 74 papers and posters

Clean Agent Performance on Fires Exposed to an External Energy Source.

November 2, 1998
Author(s)
Kenneth D. Steckler, William L. Grosshandler, Daniel C. Smith-Tone, P Rivers
Work carried out over the last several years has shown that there can be a significant increase in the amount of agent required to extinguish and to prevent re-ignition of fires that are exposed to a continuous, external, energy source. This has

Comparison of the Behavior of Foams and Gels Exposed to Fire.

November 2, 1998
Author(s)
Marino DiMarzo, A M. Tafreshi
Water is the principal component of both foams and gels used as fire protection agents. The foam is expanded to several times its original liquid volume with air. Data from a previous study show that, when the foam is subjected to a radiant heat input of

Condensed Phase Phenomena in Commodity Polymers Undergoing Degradation/Gasification.

November 2, 1998
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Thomas J. Ohlemiller, Takashi Kashiwagi
A series of degradation/gasification experiments has been conducted to better understand the condensed phase processes during burning of commodity polymers such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polystyrene (PS). Understanding the molten
