Enabling Robot Agility in Manufacturing Kitting Applications

March 14, 2018
Author(s)
Zeid Kootbally, Craig I. Schlenoff, Brian Antonishek, Frederick M. Proctor, Thomas Kramer, William Harrison, Satyandra K. Gupta
For the most part, robots perform best in highly structured environments, where objects are in well-known, predictable loca-tions. Another way to describe this is that robots are not considered agile. But, in order for them to be useful to small manu

Fog Computing Conceptual Model

March 14, 2018
Author(s)
Michaela Iorga, Larry Feldman, Robert Barton, Michael J. Martin, Nedim S. Goren, Charif Mahmoudi
Managing the data generated by Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and actuators is one of the biggest challenges faced when deploying an IoT system. Traditional cloud-based IoT systems are challenged by the large scale, heterogeneity, and high latency

Introduction: Special Issue on Enabling Robot Autonomy

March 14, 2018
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff, Stephen B. Balakirsky, Henrik I. Christensen
Today's state-of-the-art robots are capable of sub-millimeter movement accuracy when performing highly repeatable tasks. They perform extremely well in highly structured environments, where objects are in well-known, predictable locations. However, robots

Nanoscale mapping and spectroscopy of non-radiative hyperbolic modes in hexagonal boron nitride nanostructures

March 14, 2018
Author(s)
Lisa Brown, Marcelo I. Davanco, Zhiyuan Sun, Andrey Kretinin, Yiguo Chen, Joseph R. Matson, Igor Vurgaftman, Nicholas Sharac, Alexander Giles, Michael Fogler, Takashi Taniguchi, Kenji Watanabe, Kostya Novoselov, Stefan Maier, Andrea Centrone, Joshua D. Caldwell
Because of its inherent crystal anisotropy, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) supports naturally hyperbolic phonon polaritons, i.e. polaritons that can propagate with arbitrarily large wavevectors within the material volume, thereby enabling optical

Reply to comment on "Relativistic Theory of the Falling Cube Gravimeter"

March 14, 2018
Author(s)
Neil Ashby
The comment\cite{kren17} claims that the paper Relativistic theory of the falling cube gravimeter \cite{ashby17} is incorrect. The authors of this comment assert that optical paths in the two interferometer arms of an absolute gravimeter shift only the

A Critical Comparison of 3D Experiments and Simulations of Tricalcium Silicate Hydration

March 13, 2018
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard, John G. Hagedorn, Tyler Ley, Qinang Hu, Wesley N. Griffin, Judith E. Terrill
Advances in nano-computed X-ray tomography (nCT), nano X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (nXRF), and high-performance computing have now enabled the first ever direct comparison between observations of three-dimensional nanoscale microstructure evolution

Local spin-wave dispersion and damping in thin yttrium-iron-garnet films

March 13, 2018
Author(s)
Rouven Dreyer, Niklas Liebing, Eric R. Edwards, Georg Woltersdorf
Using ultrafast magneto-optic sampling microscopy, we investigate the spin-wave dispersion and spin-wave damping in yttrium-iron-garnet films. With the aid of the inhomogeneous magnetic field generated by coplanar waveguides spin-waves are excited at a

Selective Hydride Occupation in BaVO 3-x H x (0.3 less than or equal to}xless than or equal to}0.8) with Face- and Corner-Shared Octahedra

March 13, 2018
Author(s)
Takafumi Yamamoto, Kazuki Shitara, Shunsaku Kitagawa, Akihide Kuwabara, Masahiro Kuroe, Kenji Ishida, Masayuki Ochi, Kazuhiko Kuroki, Kotaro Fujii, Masatomo Yashima, Craig Brown, Hiroshi Takatsu, Tassel Cedric, Hiroshi Kageyama
A growing number of transition metal oxyhydrides have recently been reported, but they are all confined to perovskite-based structures with corner-shared octahedra. Using high pressure synthesis, we have obtained vanadium oxhydrides BaVO 3-xH x(0.3less

Towards Traceable Transient Pressure Metrology

March 13, 2018
Author(s)
Douglas A. Olson, Haijun Liu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Kevin O. Douglass
Here we detail our progress in developing the infrastructure for traceable transient measurements of pressure and temperature. Towards that end, we have built and characterized a dual diaphragm shock tube that allows us to achieve shock amplitude

Unravelling Solid-State Redox Chemistry in Li 1.3 Nb 0.3 Mn 0.4 O 2 Single-Crystal Cathode Material

March 13, 2018
Author(s)
Wang Hay Kan, Dongchang Chen, Joseph K. Papp, Alpesh Khushalchand Shukla, Ashfia Huq, Craig Brown, Bryan D. McCloskey, Guoying Chen
Recent reports on high capacities delivered by Li-excess transition-metal oxide cathodes have triggered intense interest in utilizing reversible oxygen redox for high-energy battery applications. In order to control oxygen electrochemical activities

A Soot Deposition Gauge for Fire Measurements

March 12, 2018
Author(s)
Amy E. Mensch, Thomas G. Cleary
The goal of this exploratory project is to demonstrate the feasibility of a conductometric measurement to determine the time-resolved soot deposition on surfaces in fire environments. Quantitative soot deposition data enabled by this measurement method is

Characterization of Stove Top Cooking Oil Fires

March 12, 2018
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Sung C. Kim, Daniel Madrzykowski
A series of cooking fire experiments were conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to examine the hazard associated with cooking oil fires. First, a series of experiments were conducted on a free-standing stove situated in the

Contextualizing Manufacturing Data for Lifecycle Decision Making

March 12, 2018
Author(s)
William Z. Bernstein, Thomas D. Hedberg, Moneer M. Helu, Allison Barnard Feeney
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems manage the flow of data about the product and the processes that are used throughout the product's lifecycle so that the right information is delivered at the right time to the right systems. Manufacturing in the

Identification and Quantification of Aflatoxin Guanine and FapyGuanine Adducts in Mouse Liver invivo by LC-MS/MS Isotope Dilution

March 11, 2018
Author(s)
Erdem Coskun, Vladimir Vartanian, Irina G. Minko, Onur Erdem, Pawel Jaruga, Patricia Egner, John D. Groopman
Dietary exposures to aflatoxin contaminated food is one of the major contributions to human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) which accounts for over 700.000 deaths per year, especially in highly populated developing and underdeveloped countries. Aflatoxin

Asymmetric and partial injection locking of a three-terminal spin-torque oscillator

March 9, 2018
Author(s)
Emilie M. Jue, Matthew R. Pufall, William H. Rippard
We measure the injection locking of a three-terminal spin-torque oscillator (STO) excited by a spin-orbit torque. The device consists of a magnetic tunnel junction on top of a Pt wire. A DC and an AC current are applied through the Pt wire to respectively
