The Need for Reproducible Research in Soft Robotics

July 16, 2024
Author(s)
Andrew Spielberg, Jeremy Marvel, Dylan Shah, Jennifer Case, Robert Baines
To avoid facing a reproducibility crisis that will undermine the recent rapid pace of research and hamper widespread adoption, the field of soft robotics needs to establish best practices and uphold rigorous reporting.

Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes for Personal Identity Verification

July 15, 2024
Author(s)
Hildegard Ferraiolo, Andrew Regenscheid
Federal Information Processing Standard 201-3 (FIPS 201-3) defines the requirements for Personal Identity Verification (PIV) life cycle activities, including identity proofing, registration, PIV Card issuance, and PIV Card usage. FIPS 201-3 also defines

Test Facility for Pressure Losses in Plumbing Pipes and Fittings

July 15, 2024
Author(s)
Lingnan Lin, Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, Glen A. Glaeser
This report describes a new test facility at NIST for the measurement of pressure losses in pipes and fittings used in plumbing systems. Pressure losses are fundamental inputs to the design of premise plumbing systems, yet the available technical data on

Energy Efficiency Scaling for 2 Decades (EES2) Roadmap for Computing

July 14, 2024
Author(s)
Jim Booth
Abstract—In response to the looming crisis in global energy consumption required for advanced computing applications, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technology Office (AMMTO) is leading a national effort

On the Evaluation of Machine-Generated Reports

July 14, 2024
Author(s)
James Mayfield, Eugene Yang, Dawn Lawrie, Sean MacAvaney, Paul McNamee, Douglas Oard, Luca Soldaini, Ian Soboroff, Orion Weller, Efsun Kayi, Kate Sanders, Marc Mason, Noah Hibbler
Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled new ways to satisfy information needs. Although great strides have been made in applying them to settings like document ranking and short-form text generation, they still struggle to compose complete, accurate, and

Effects of hydrogen on the evolution of 4130 steel microstructure as a result of tensile loading

July 12, 2024
Author(s)
Zack Buck, May Ling Martin, Damian Lauria, Jason Killgore, Peter Bradley, Yan Chen, Ke An, Matthew Connolly
Neutron diffraction and Scanning Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (SKPFM) were used to study the evolution of lattice strain, dislocation density, and phase partitioning of a ferrite/martensite pressure vessel steel (AISI 4130) that resulted from tensile

Radioactive molecules hold great promise for their discovery potential in diverse fields. The extreme nuclear properties of heavy, short-lived nuclei and the intrinsic sensitivity, flexibility, and quantum control opportunities available to molecules make

A unified model of core metrological concepts

July 10, 2024
Author(s)
David W. Flater, Raghu N. Kacker, Douglas Foxvog
The definitions of core metrological terms, especially quantity, quantity value, and unit, have been the subject of years of wrangling in standards organizations. A chronic disagreement exists over whether quantities are conceptualized primarily as

Few-electron highly charged muonic Ar atoms verified by electronic K xrays

July 10, 2024
Author(s)
Takuma Okumura, Toshiyuki Azuma, Douglas Bennett, W. Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Malcolm Durkin, Joseph Fowler, Johnathon Gard, Tadashi Hashimoto, Ryota Hayakawa, Yuto Ichinohe, Paul Indelicato, Tadaaki Isobe, Sohtaro Kanda, Daiji Kato, Miho Katsuragawa, Naritoshi Kawamura, Yasushi Kino, Nao Kominato, Yasuhiro Miyake, Kelsey Morgan, Hirofumi Noda, Galen O'Neil, Shinji Okada, Kenichi Okutsu, Nancy Paul, Carl D. Reintsema, Toshiki Sato, Dan Schmidt, Kouichiro Shimomura, Patrick Strasser, Daniel Swetz, Tadayuki Takahashi, Shinichiro Takeda, Soshi Takeshita, Motonobu Tampo, Hideyuki Tatsuno, Tong Xiao-Min, Joel Ullom, Shin Watanabe, Shinya Yamada, Takuma Yamashita
Electronic K x rays emitted by muonic Ar atoms in the gas phase were observed using a superconducting transition-edge-sensor microcalorimeter. The high-precision energy spectra provided a clear signature of the presence of muonic atoms accompanied by a few

Multi-frequency Antenna Metrology with Sparse Measurements

July 10, 2024
Author(s)
Marc Valdez, Angela Folz, Michael Wakin, Joshua Gordon
We examine different approaches for compressive sensing in broadband antenna radiation pattern measurements, a common tool in antenna metrology. We focus on spherical near-field measurements and seek improved reductions in the needed number of measurements

Preliminary Field Burns of RV Trailers with External Ignitions

July 10, 2024
Author(s)
Eric Link, Shonali Nazare, Karen Jackson, Lucy Fox, Alexander Maranghides
Two recreational vehicle (RV) travel trailers were burned outdoors at the Austin Fire Department training campus in Austin, TX. The goal of these preliminary experiments was to observe and document the burning behavior of fully furnished RV trailers and to
