Influence of Surface Silica on the Pyrolysis of Silicones (NISTIR 6242)

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
R R. Buch, John R. Shields, Takashi Kashiwagi, Thomas Cleary, Kenneth D. Steckler
Silicones encompass a wide variety of noval materials that find applications in virtually every major industry sector. The dominant polymer in the silicone industry is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The combustion of long chain PDMS exhibits a low heat

Initial Results of the Bidirectional Reflectance Characterization Round-Robin in Support of EOS

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, P Y. Barnes, Thomas R. O'Brian, James J. Butler, C J. Bruegge, S F. Biggar, P R. Spyak, M M. Pavlov
Laboratory measurements of the bidirecitonal reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of diffusely reflecting samples are required to support calibration in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Earth Observing System (EOS) program

InSb Working Standard Radiometers

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer, Alan L. Migdall, Leonard M. Hanssen
Standard quality InSb radiometers have been developed and characterized at the national Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The InSb radiometers will hold the recently realized spectral response scale of the NIST and will serve as working

Lessons Learned Developing Protocols for the Industrial Virtual Enterprise

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Martin Hardwick, KC Morris, D L. Spooner, T Rando, Peter O. Denno
The National Industrial Infrastructure Protocols (NIIIP) Consortium formed in 1994 to develop protocols to allow for manufacturers and their suppliers to develop products across the internet. The protocols selected and developed by the NIIIP Consortium

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
