A Standardized Representation of Convolutional Neural Networks for Reliable Deployment of Machine Learning Models in the Manufacturing Industry

August 18, 2019
Author(s)
Max K. Ferguson, Seongwoon Jeong, Kincho H. Law, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Svetlana Levitan, Jena Tridivesh, Yung-Tsun Lee
The use of deep convolutional neural networks is becoming increasingly popular in the engineering and manufacturing sectors. However, managing the distribution of trained models is still a difficult task, partially due to the limitations of standardized

Mass Spectrometry Fingerprints of Small-Molecule Metabolites in Biofluids: Building a Spectral Library of Recurrent Spectra for Urine Analysis

August 18, 2019
Author(s)
Yamil Simon, Ramesh Marupaka, Xinjian Yan, Yuxue Liang, Kelly H. Telu, Yuri Mirokhin, Stephen E. Stein
A large fraction of ions observed in electrospray liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–ESI-MS) experiments of biological samples remain unidentified. One of the main reasons for this is that spectral libraries of pure compounds fail to account for

Nearly Ferromagnetic Spin-Triplet Superconductivity

Author(s)
Sheng N. Ran, Christoper Eckberg, Qing-Ping Ding, Yuji Furukawa, Tristin Metz, Shanta R. Saha, I Lin NMN Liu, Mark Zic, Hyunsoo Kim, Johnpierre N. Paglione, Nicholas Butch
One of the most interesting differences between spin triplet superconductors and the conventional spin singlet variety is the two-component triplet order parameter that allows spin up and down electrons to couple with different strength. Such nonunitary

A Review Of Machine Learning Applications In Additive Manufacturing

August 17, 2019
Author(s)
Saadia A. Razvi, Shaw C. Feng, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Yung-Tsun Lee, Paul Witherell
Variability in product quality continues to pose a major barrier to the widespread application of additive manufacturing (AM) processes in production environment. Towards addressing this barrier, the monitoring of AM processes and the measuring of AM

Upper Bounds on the Multiplicative Complexity of Symmetric Boolean Functions

August 17, 2019
Author(s)
Luis Brandao, Cagdas Calik, Meltem Sonmez Turan, Rene Peralta
A special metric of interest about Boolean functions is multiplicative complexity (MC): the minimum number of AND gates sufficient to implement a function with a Boolean circuit over the basis XOR, AND, NOT}. In this paper we study the MC of symmetric

An atomic sensor for direct detection of weak microwave signals

August 16, 2019
Author(s)
Vladislav Gerginov, Fabio C. da Silva, Craig Nelson, Archita Hati
This paper demonstrates direct detection of weak signals at microwave frequencies based on parametric frequency conversion. The atomic medium is optically pumped by a resonant light field and prepared in a coherent atomic superposition by a weak microwave

Liquid Viscosity and Surface Tension of n-Hexane, n-Octane, n-Decane, and n-Hexadecane up to 573 K by Surface Light Scattering (SLS)

August 16, 2019
Author(s)
Tobias Klein, Shaomin Yan, Junwei Cui, Joe W. Magee, Kenneth Kroenlein, Michael H. Rausch, Thomas M. Koller, Andreas P. Froba
In the present study, the simultaneous and accurate determination of liquid viscosity and surface tension of the n-alkanes n-hexane (n-C6H14), n-octane (n-C8H18), n-decane (n-C10H22), and n-hexadecane (n-C16H34) by surface light scattering (SLS) in

Robert D. Horansky, Jason B. Coder, John M. Ladbury
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO) throughthe Spectrum Sharing Test and Development (SSTD) program proposed a National AdvancedSpectrum and Communications Test Network (NASCTN) measurement campaign to

Modification of Spin-Ice Physics in Ho 2 Ti 2 O 7 Thin Films

August 16, 2019
Author(s)
Kevin Barry, Biwen Zhang, Naween Anand, Yan Xin, Arturas Vailionis, Jennifer Neu, Colin A. Heikes, Charis Cochran, Haidong Zhou, Yiming Qiu, William D. Ratcliff, Theo Siegrist, Christianne Beekman
We report on a study of the structural and magnetic properties of strained Ho 2Ti 2O 7 thin films. Structural characterization via synchrotron x-ray diffraction confirms good crystallinity of our films and shows a critical thickness slightly below 50 nm

Towards Cross-Layer Optimization of Virtualized Radio Access Networks

August 15, 2019
Author(s)
Vladimir Marbukh, Kamran Sayrafian, Behnam Rouzbehani, Luis Correia
This paper proposes an approach to cross-layer optimization of virtualized Radio Access Network resources in future mobile communications. Assuming that the Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) guarantee contracted Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with the

TOWARDS EFFICIENT THERMAL SIMULATION OF POWDER BED FUSION ON PATH LEVEL

August 15, 2019
Author(s)
Paul W. Witherell
As a widely used additive manufacturing (AM) technology to produce metallic parts, powder bed fusion (PBF) is driven by a moving heat source. Thermal simulation is a critical tool to understand the mappings between manufacturing parameters (e.g. laser
