Frequency Dependence of a Cryogenic Capacitor Measured Using Single Electron Tunneling Devices

December 1, 2000

Author(s)

Ali L. Eichenberger, Mark W. Keller, John M. Martinis, Neil M. Zimmerman

A new type of capacitance standrd based on counting electrons has been built. The operation of the standrd has already given very promising results for the determination of the value of a cryogenic vacuum-gap capacitor. The new capacitance standard

Driving Autonomously Offroad up to 35 km/h

October 1, 2000

Author(s)

David Coombs, Karl Murphy, Alberto Lacaze, Steven Legowik

A robotic HMMWV (a.k.a. "humvee") drives autonomously offroad at speeds up to 35 km/h (10 m/s, 20 mph). Key features of the implementation that enable driving at these speeds are (1) planning the next 20 m with dynamically feasible trajectories, and (2)

Useful Lead and Bismuth Standards for Quantitative Electron Probe Microanalysis

August 1, 2000

Author(s)

Ryna B. Marinenko, Eric S. Windsor

This is a preliminary study of lead and bismuth selinides and tellurides to determine the usefullness of these materials as Pb and Bi standards for quantitative microanalysis. Precautions were taken during sample preparation procedures to reduce the

The Challenge of Intelligent Systems

July 19, 2000

Author(s)

A Meystel, Elena R. Messina

This paper analyzes the meaning of intelligence within the domain of intelligent control. Because of historical reasons, there are varying and diverse definitions of what constitutes an intelligent control system. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of

Status of Microanalysis Standards at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

July 1, 2000

Author(s)

Ryna B. Marinenko

This is a review of the current status of microanalysis standards at NIST -what is presently available, what will soon be available, and what might be available in the future. Many of the standards issued in the past such as Cartridge Brass (SRM 478), Fe-3

Impact of Measurement and Standards Infrastructure on the National Economy and International Trade

April 1, 2000

Author(s)

Hratch G. Semerjian, Robert L. Watters

The U.S. Federal Government has a strong role in metrology R&D in the U.S because of its importance to the nation's economy and the Constitutional authority given to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). However, pressures to maintain

Laboratory Primary Standards

April 1, 2000

Author(s)

John D. Wright

Commonly used primary calibration techniques for the measurement of liquid and gas flows are described. The techniques described include: static gravimetric and dynamic gravimetric methods for both gases and liquids, liquid piston displacement provers

Certification of the Relative Molecular Mass and the Intrinsic Viscosity of SRM 2886, a Polyethylene of Narrow Molecular Mass Distribution

March 1, 2000

Author(s)

Kathleen M. Flynn, J R. Maurey, William R. Blair

The certification of a polyethylene standard reference material, SRM 2886, is described. The Mw of SRM 2886 by light scattering was determined to be 87.0x10+3 g/mol with a sample standard deviation of 2.4 x10+3 g/mol. A combined expanded uncertainty for
