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

Hierarchical Planning Algorithms

Author(s)
Alberto Lacaze
A novel method for communicating commands in hierarchical planning control is presented. This new method can be used to warranty that plans created will be optimal within the defined planning graphs throughout the planning hierarchy. Boundary conditions

Driving Autonomously Offroad up to 35 km/h

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)

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

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

A Unique Institution: The History of NBS, 1950-1969

June 30, 1999
Author(s)
E Passaglia, K A. Beal
A follow-on to Measures for Progress by Rexmond C. Cochrane, this work covers the history of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) from 1950-1969. While the book focuses on technical work, the management and administration of the Bureau are also discussed
