NIST Microform Calibration - How Does It Benefit U.S. Industry?

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Theodore V. Vorburger
In microform metrology, complex 3-D surface features in the micrometer range must be quantified for their space and size including dimensions, curves, angles, profile deviations, and alignment errors, as well as surface roughness with measurement

NIST Virtual/Physical Random Profile Roughness Calibration Standards

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Christopher J. Evans, Michael L. McGlauflin, Eric P. Whitenton, Theodore V. Vorburger, Y B. Yuan
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) virtual/physical surface roughness calibration standard consists of physical specimens whose surfaces are manufactured by a numerically controlled diamond-turning process using digitized profiles

NIST Workshop on Process Information Technology: From Research to Industry

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Howard T. Moncarz, Craig I. Schlenoff, Michael Gruninger, M R. Duffey, Amy Knutilla
The primary objective of the workshop was to provide an open forum for researchers and industry representatives to discuss how current and future research efforts could further address the PIT needs of industry. Specific workshop goals were: To identify

NIST, States, Companies, and Universities: Partners in Economic Growth

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Robert E. Hebner
New kinds of partnerships between the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), States, Companies, and Universities are essential to preserve and stimulate economic growth at a time when only economies that stimulate technological innovation

Particle Measurements in Fe(CO)5-Inhibited Flames (NISTIR 6242)

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
M D. Rumminger, Gregory T. Linteris
Since iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5) is among the most efficient flame inhibitors ever identified, research on flame inhibition by Fe(CO5) was recently started at NIST with the goal of understanding its mechanism. Obtaining a detailed understanding of this

Particulate Entry Lag in Smoke Detectors (NISTIR 6242)

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Thomas G. Cleary, Artur A. Chernovsky, William L. Grosshandler, Michael D. Anderson
It is well known that smoke detectors do not instantaneously respond to smoke concentration directly outside the detector. The smoke must be transported through the detector housing to a sensing location inside the detector. The sensing time lag is a

Perceptual Effects of Noise in Digital Video Compression

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Charles D. Fenimore, John M. Libert, S. A. Wolf
We present results of subjective viewer assessment of video quality of MPEG-2 compressed video containing wide-band Gaussian noise. The video test sequences consisted of 7 test clips (both classical and new materials) to which noise with a peak-signal-to

Ralph Webb: A Pioneering Proselytizer for Enhanced Heat Transfer

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Mark A. Kedzierski
Ralph Webb, a pioneer in enhanced heat transfer, proselytizes his field for the economic and technical benefit of industry. His mission has been, and always will be, the promotion of enhanced heat transfer technology. As a result, he has been instrumental

Revised Formulas for Diffraction Effects With Point and Extended Sources

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley
Revised formulas to estimated diffraction effects in radiometry for point and extended sources are derived. They are found to work as well as or better than previous formulas. In some instances the formulas can be written in closed form; otherwise, their

Short-Term Stability Measurements of a Germanium Plotodiode Radiometer

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
G Andor, Bettye C. Johnson
This paper describes a general stability measurement method for the short term stability, or repeatability, for radiometers using fixed-point blackbodies [BBs] as radiation sources. A germanium photodiode was used for the detector in the radiometer. The

Technical Accomplishments: Information Technology Laboratory 1998

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Elizabeth B. Lennon, K K. Simon
The 1998 ITL Technical Accomplishments report documents the activities and achievements of the Information Technology Laboratory, a research component of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Covering fiscal year 1998, the report presents an
