Low noise thermistor read out for wideband room temperature infrared detectors

September 25, 2016
Author(s)
Ivan Ryger, Michelle S. Stephens, John H. Lehman, Matthew T. Spidell, Malcolm G. White, Nathan A. Tomlin, Dave Harber, Peter Lobotka
An absolute electrical substitution radiometer is a way to ensure highly accurate and stable measurement of optical power in a wide range of optical wavelengths. Its sensitivity is mainly determined by the temperature stability of the equithermal bath and

Mostly sunny with a chance of cyber

Counting known vulnerabilities and correlating different factors with the vulnerability track records of software products after the fact is obviously feasible. The harder challenge is to produce “evidence to tell how vulnerable a piece of software is”

Compressed-Liquid Densities of Three Reference Fuels for Combustion Testing

Compressed-liquid densities of three aviation fuels have been measured with a vibrating-tube densimeter. The measurements were made from 270 K to 470 K, and 0.5 MPa to 45 MPa and have an overall combined uncertainty of 0.81 kg.m-3. The data from each of

Comparison of Registration Methods for Mobile Manipulators

Mobile manipulators can be effective, efficient and flexible for automation on the factory floor but will need safety and performance standards for wide adoption. This paper looks at a specific area of performance standards [1] for docking and workpiece

NIST Programs to Advance Accurate, Internationally-Recognized Stack Emissions Measurements

September 15, 2016
Author(s)
Aaron Johnson, Iosif Isaakovich Shinder, Rodney A. Bryant, JohnPaul R. Abbott, Keith A. Gillis, Joey Boyd, James Filla, Michael R. Moldover
Accurate flow measurements are essential to quantify the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutants emitted from power plant stacks. Although protocols have been developed, the uncertainty of stack flow measurements has not been documented. 

Monochromatic Measurements of the JPSS-1 VIIRS Polarization Sensitivity

September 12, 2016
Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke, Jeff McIntire, David Moyer, Eugene Waluschka, Hassan Oudrari, Xiaoxiong Xiong
The polarization sensitivity is a critical parameter that must be characterized for spaceborne remote sensing instruments designed tomeasure reflected solar radiation such as the first Joint Polar-orbiting Satellite System (JPSS-1) Visible Infrared Imaging
