Preparation of Reference Material 8504, Transformer Oil

February 1, 2006
Author(s)
Dianne L. Poster, Michele M. Schantz, Stephen A. Wise
A new reference material (RM), RM 8504, has been prepared for use as a diluent oil with Aroclors in transformer oil Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) 3075-3080 or SRM 3090 when developing and validating methods for the determination of polychlorinated

Relaxation Effects in Small Critical Nozzles

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Aaron N. Johnson, C L. Merkle, Michael R. Moldover, John D. Wright
We computed the flow of four gases (He, N 2, CO 2, and SF 6) through a critical nozzle by augmenting traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with a rate equation that accounts for τ relax, a species-dependent relaxation time that characterizes the

Autonomy Levels for Unmanned Systems (ALFUS) Framework: An Update

April 4, 2005
Author(s)
Hui-Min Huang, K Pavek, James S. Albus, Elena R. Messina
The initial construct of the framework for the Autonomy Levels of Unmanned Systems (ALFUS) was presented in the 2004 SPIE Defense and Security Symposium. This paper describes the continuing development effort and further accomplishments made by the Ad Hoc

Gas Flowmeter Calibrations with the 34 L and 677 L PVTt Standards

June 23, 2004
Author(s)
John Wright, Aaron Johnson, Michael Moldover, Gina Kline
This document provides a description of the 34 L and 677 L pressure, volume, temperature, and time (PVTt) primary gas flow standards operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Fluid Flow Group. These facilities are used to

Initial Measurement Results for 20 NIST RM 8240 Standard Bullets

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Li Ma, Jun-Feng Song, Eric P. Whitenton, Theodore V. Vorburger, J Zhou, A Zheng
The SRM (Standard Reference Material) 2460 standard bullets are developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN), recently established by the Bureau of Alcohol

Temperature Metrology and Its Impact on Industry

September 1, 2003
Author(s)
Hratch G. Semerjian, Ellyn S. Beary
Temperature measurement represents one of the most frequently and broadly used measurements, with a majority of products manufactured having temperature measurement devices as an esential component. The accuracy and precision of these temperature

Transverse Compressive Stress Effect in Y-Ba-Cu-O Coatings on Biaxially Textured Ni and Ni-5at.%W Substrates

June 1, 2003
Author(s)
Najib Cheggour, John (Jack) W. Ekin, Cameron C. Clickner, D. T. Verebelyi, C. L. H. Thieme, Ron Feenstra, P Goyal, D F. Paranthaman
Electromechanical properties of yttrium-barium-copper-oxide (YBCO) coatings on both pure Ni and Ni-5at.%W alloy rolling-assisted, biaxially-textured substrates (RABiTS) were investigated. The effect of transverse compressive stress on transport critical

Estimating the Work in Integer Partitioning

January 31, 2003
Author(s)
April Andreas, Isabel M. Beichl
For a given set of numbers, the integer partitioning problem is to divide the numbers into two groups, so that the sums of the numbers in each group differ by the smallest amount possible. In a balanced perfect partition, the sums differ by only zero or
