NIST Metric Cube

Author(s)
J B. McCracken
Paper cut-out cube, 10 cm on each side listing metric conversion information on each face covering units of length, mass or weight, area or surface, energy, volume and temperature. The bottom face lists common metric prefixes.

Open-Source Excel Tools For Statistical Metrology

Author(s)
Hung-Kung Liu, William F. Guthrie, Juan Soto
In this paper we introduce an approach to construct statistical metrology tools with a Microsoft Excel based interface that use the open source statistical package R as the computational engine. These metrology tools will enable Excel users to access a

Optical trapping of selected dielectric microparticles in air

Author(s)
Haesung Park, Thomas W. LeBrun
We demonstrate a method to trap a selected dielectric microparticle in air using radiation pressure from a single-beam gradient optical trap. Randomly scattered dielectric microparticles adhered to a glass substrate are momentarily detached using

Receiver Sensitivity in CSMA Networks

Author(s)
B Yan, Hamid Gharavi
This paper aims at improving the power efficiency of the CSMA/CA protocol for transmission of multimedia information over multihop wireless channels. Using a distance dependent propagation model, we present a power control scheme, which is based on the

Results of the 2006 Spoken Term Detection Evaluation

Author(s)
Jonathan G. Fiscus, Jerome G. Ajot, John S. Garofolo, George Doddington
This paper presents the first evaluation of Spoken Term Detection technologies, held during the latter part of 2006. Spoken Term Detection systems rapidly detect the presence of a term, which is a sequence of words consecutively spoken, in a large audio

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
