Markup Instructions for Extended Friction Ridge Features

February 5, 2013
Author(s)
Melissa Taylor, Will Chapman, Austin Hicklin, George Kiebuzinski, Peter Komarinski, John Mayer-Splain, Rachel Wallner
This document provides instructions for latent print examiners in marking friction ridge features to maximize consistency among examiners. This document builds upon the Extended Feature Set (EFS) defined in American National Standards Institute/National

Extended Feature Set Profile Specification

January 14, 2013
Author(s)
Melissa Taylor, Will Chapman, Austin Hicklin, George Kiebuzinski, John Mayer-Splain, Rachel Wallner, Peter Komarinski
This specification defines Extended Feature Set (EFS) Profiles - sets of features to be used in latent friction ridge (fingerprint, palmprint or plantar) searches of automated friction ridge identification systems (AFIS). The EFS Profiles are designed to

NIST Handbook 150-11, NVLAP Electromagnetic Compatibility and Telecommunications

December 21, 2012
Author(s)
Bethany E. Hackett, Bradley Moore, Dennis G. Camell
NIST Handbook 150-11, NVLAP Electromagnetic Compatibility and Telecommunications, presents the technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the NVLAP Electromagnetic Compatibility and Telecommunications (ECT) LAP. It is

Optical-Fiber Power Meter Comparison between NIST and KRISS

December 21, 2012
Author(s)
Seungkwan Kim, Keesuk Hong, Dong-Hoon Lee, David J. Livigni, Xiaoyu X. Li, John H. Lehman
We describe the results of a comparison of reference standards between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST-USA) and Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS- R.O. Korea). We report optical fiber-based power measurements

Fingerprint Image Synthesis based on Statistical Feature Models

December 6, 2012
Author(s)
Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Melissa Taylor, Anil K. Jain, Qijun Zhao
Fingerprint image synthesis has received considerable attention because of its potential use in generating large databases to evaluate the performance of fingerprint recognition systems. Existing fingerprint synthesis algorithms (e.g., SFinGe) focus on

A Humidity Generator for Temperatures to 200 degC and Pressures to 1.6 MPa

November 30, 2012
Author(s)
D Vega-Maza, W. Wyatt Miller, Dean C. Ripple, Gregory E. Scace
We have constructed a new humidity generator that produces gas streams of known moisture content at temperatures from 85 °C to 200 °C, absolute pressures from 0.2 MPa to 1.6 MPa, and relative humidities from 10 % to 90 %. The generator produces a moist gas

A Sensor Model for Enhancement of Manufacturing Equipment Data Interoperability

November 15, 2012
Author(s)
Kang B. Lee, Yuyin Song, Peter S. Gu
Sensors can provide real-time production information to optimize manufacturing activities in a factory. Recently, more attention has been paid to the application of sensors in smart manufacturing systems. Sensor data exchange, sharing, and interoperability

SysML extension for dynamical system simulation tools

October 26, 2012
Author(s)
Ion Matei, Conrad E. Bock
Computer-interpretable representations of system structure and behavior are at the center of designing today’s complex systems. Engineers create and review such representations using graphical modeling languages that support specification, analysis, design

Characterization of Perchlorate in a New Frozen Human Urine Standard Reference Material

October 1, 2012
Author(s)
Lee L. Yu, William C. Davis, Rabia Oflaz, Gregory C. Turk, Jeff M. Jarrett, Liza Valentin, Benjamin C. Blount, Dennis D. Leber, Eric L. Kilpatrick
Perchlorate, an inorganic anion, has recently been recognized as an environmental contaminant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Assessment of human exposure to perchlorate requires measurement of the anion in urine. Although the

New International Formulation for the Thermal Conductivity of H2O

August 23, 2012
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Richard A. Perkins, Daniel G. Friend, Jan V. Sengers, Marc J. Assael, Ifigenia N. Metaxa, Kiyoshi Miyagawa, Robert Hellmann, Eckhard Vogel
The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) encouraged an extensive research effort to update the IAPS Formulation 1985 for the Thermal Conductivity of Ordinary Water Substance, leading to the adoption of a Release on the

Room Temperature Acoustic Transducers for High-Temperature Thermometry

July 9, 2012
Author(s)
Dean C. Ripple, William E. Murdock, Gregory F. Strouse, Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover
We have successfully conducted highly-accurate, primary acoustic thermometry at 600 K using a sound source and a sound detector at room temperature. We describe the source, the detector, and the ducts that connected them to our cavity resonator. This

Improved performance of the ECCS experiment at PTB

July 1, 2012
Author(s)
Hansjoerg Scherer, Benedetta Camarota, Mark W. Keller, Sergey Lotkhov
Recent improvements on the ECCS experiment at PTB are reported. A 5-junction single-electron R-pump is shown to shuttle electrons with a relative transfer error of 5×10 -8. Moreover, the relative uncertainty of the setup for the cryogenic capacitor voltage
