SARD: A Software Assurance Reference Dataset

Author(s)
Paul E. Black
Software assurance tools examine code for problems. To test such tools, we need programs with known bugs as ground truth. The Software Assurance Reference Dataset (SARD) is a publicly accessible collection of over 100,000 test cases in different

Six Jacob Rabinow's Inventions -- WEB Pages for NIST Virtual Museum

Author(s)
J Rabinow
Jacob Rabinow holds 230 U.S. patents on a variety of mechanical and electrical devices. Among these are the automatic letter-sorting machine used by the U.S. Post Office, the magnetic particle clutch, formerly used in several European automobiles, in

Statistical Methods For Holistic Mass Spectral Analysis

Author(s)
John Lu, Charles M. Guttman
Analysis of molecular mass distribution data for characterizing the complex synthetic polymer structure has demanded new statistical methods. As with many other high throughput measurement devices, typically only very small number of replicates can be

Stochastic Ageing and Dependence for Reliability

Author(s)
Adriana Hornikova
Book Review for: Stochastic Ageing and Dependence for Reliability, by Chin-Diew Lai and Min Xie, New York: Springer-Verlag, 2006 ISBN-10: 0-387-29742-1 and ISBN-13: 978-0387-29742-2, xx+418 pp., $100

Suppressing of Unidirectional Coupling in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions by Preoxidation: Structural Studies

Author(s)
William F. Egelhoff Jr., Robert D. McMichael, Mark D. Stiles, Cedric J. Powell, John E. Bonevich, M Wormington, D S. Eastwood, B K. Tanner
Pre-oxidation of the bottom electrode prior to deposition of Al_{2}O_{3} or MgO is very effective as a general approach to suppressing the unidirectional coupling that is commonly observed in magnetic tunnel junctions. In this paper, we report structural

The CLEAR 2006 Evaluation

Author(s)
Rainer Stiefelhagen, Keni Bernardin, Rachel J. Bowers, John S. Garofolo, Djamel Mostefa, K Soundararajan
This paper is a summary of the first CLEAR evaluation on CLassification of Events, Activities and Relationships - which took place in early 2006 and concluded with a two day evaluation workshop in April 2006. CLEAR is an international effort to evaluate

The NIST Project for the Electronic Realization of the Kilogram

Author(s)
Richard L. Steiner, David B. Newell, Edwin R. Williams, Ruimin Liu, Pierre Gournay
The project, the Electronic Realization of the Kilogram, has rebuilt the NIST Watt balance, which has been fully operational for nine months. Short-term noise is at an all time low with overnight runs exhibiting standard deviations of parts in 108. Recent

The Peer-to_Peer Human-Robot Interaction Project

Author(s)
Terrance Fong, Illah Nourbakhsh, Robert Ambrose, Reid Simmons, Alan Schultz, Jean C. Scholtz
The Peer-toPeer Human-Robot Interaction (PEP-HRI) project is developing techniques to improve task coordination and collaboration between human and robot partners. Our hypothesis is that peer-to-peer interaction can enable robots to collaborate in a

The Rich Transcription 2005 Spring Meeting Recognition Evaluation

Author(s)
Jonathan G. Fiscus, Nicolas Radde, John S. Garofolo, A N. Le, Jerome G. Ajot, Christophe Laprun
This paper presents the design and results of the Rich Transcription Spring 2005 (RT-05S) Meeting Recognition Evaluation. This evaluation is the third in a series of community-wide evaluations of language technologies in the meeting domain. For 2005, four

The Rich Transcription 2007 Meeting Recognition Evaluation

Author(s)
Jonathan G. Fiscus, Jerome G. Ajot, John S. Garofolo
We present the design and results of the Spring 2007 (RT-07) Rich Transcription Meeting Recognition Evaluation; the fifth in a series of community-wide evaluations of language technologies in the meeting domain. For 2007, we supported three evaluation

Troubleshooting Key Comparisons

Author(s)
Adriana Hornikova, William F. Guthrie
Key Comparisons are international inter-laboratory studies used to establish the degree of equivalence between national measurement standards. These studies, carried out by National Metrology Institutes, are time-consuming, but necessary to facilitate

Uncertainty Improvements of the NIST Electronic Kilogram

Author(s)
Richard L. Steiner, Edwin R. Williams, Ruimin Liu, David B. Newell
This paper summarizes the latest uncertainty improvements in the NIST Electronic Kilogram experiment to obtain result of 7 +/- 37 nW/W for the ratio {W 90/W -1} (and the Planck constant), comparable to the NIST 2005 value but with a lower uncertainty. Of

Use Case Based Testing Applied to Smart Grid Development

Author(s)
Eric D. Simmon, Arthur Griesser
The US Power delivery system is being updated by grafting an intelligent, decision making network to the existing grid. If designed correctly, this smart grid will ensure that the power grid can meet our needs in the coming century. This paper discusses a
