Wireless Infrastructure M2M Network For Distributed Power Grid Monitoring

October 1, 2017
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi
With the massive integration of distributed renewable energy sources (RESs) into the power system, the demand for timely and reliable network quality monitoring, control, and fault analysis is rapidly growing. Following the successful deployment of Phasor

Supplement 2 to the 2004 update of the AAPM Task Group No. 43 1 Report: Joint recommendations by the AAPM and GEC-ESTRO

Michael G. Mitch, Mark J. Rivard, Facundo Ballester, Wayne M. Butler, Larry A. DeWerd, Geoffrey S. Ibbott, Christopher Melhus
Since publication of the 2004 update to the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group No. 43 Report (TG-43U1) and its 2007 supplement (TG-43U1S1), several new low- energy photon-emitting brachytherapy sources have become available

Temperature dependence of nonlinearity in high-speed, high-power photodetectors

September 30, 2017
Author(s)
Josue Davila-Rodriguez, Holly Leopardi, Tara Fortier, Xiaojun Xie, Joe C. Campbell, James Booth, Nate Orloff, Scott Diddams, Franklyn Quinlan
We present an experimental study of the nonlinearity of modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodiodes at cryogenic temperatures. At 120 K, the amplitudeto-phase (AM-to-PM) conversion nonlinearity is reduced by up to 10 dB, resulting in nearly 40 dB AM

The Role of Filtering Higher Order Reflections in Antenna Extrapolation Measurements

September 30, 2017
Author(s)
Rob Horansky, Mohit S. Mujumdar, Dylan Williams, Kate Remley, David R. Novotny, Michael H. Francis
With more and more wireless devices being made with no test ports, and with the need to test these devices in real-world scenarios with no cable interference, over-the-air (OTA) testing has been dominating the test and manufacture industry. At NIST, we are

Alexa, Can I Trust You?

September 29, 2017
Author(s)
Judy Chung, Michaela Iorga, Jeff Voas, Sangjin Lee
Security diagnostics expose vulnerabilities and privacy threats that exist in commercial Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVA)-- diagnostics offer the possibility of securer IVA ecosystems. This paper explores security and privacy concerns with these

Nanostructural Evidence of Mechanical Aging and Performance Loss in Ballistic Fibers

September 29, 2017
Author(s)
John Howarter, Ming Liu, Walter G. McDonough, Christopher Soles, Gale A. Holmes
It is understood that the ballistic resistance of aromatic polyamide fibers is related to the fiber's ultimate tensile strength, strain-to-failure, and Young's modulus. Ideal high-performance ballistic materials maximize these properties while minimizing

A Methodology for Estimating Seismic Retrofit Costs

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
Juan F. Fung, David T. Butry, Siamak Sattar, Steven L. McCabe
Presidential Executive Order 13717 (EO 13717), Establishing a Federal Earthquake Risk Management Standard, encourages federal agencies to ”enhance resilience...[to] future earthquakes” by evaluating and retrofitting existing federal buildings based on

Aperture Arrays for Subnanometer Calibration of Optical Microscopes

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
Craig Copeland, Craig McGray, Jon Geist, James Alexander Liddle, Robert Ilic, Samuel Stavis
We fabricate and test subresolution aperture arrays as calibration devices for optical localization microscopy. An array pitch with a relative uncertainty of approximately three parts in ten thousand enables magnification calibration with subnanometer

Deep Silicon Etching for X-Ray Diffraction Devices Fabrication

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
Houxun Miao, Mona Mirzaeimoghri, Lei Chen, Han Wen
We report deep reactive ion etching of silicon gratings via cryogenic and Bosch processes. An aspect ratio of > 50 is achieved for 400 nm period gratings with both processes.

Double-shear tests of high-strength structural bolts at elevated temperatures

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
Rafaela Peixoto, Mina S. Seif, Luiz Vieira
The behavior of high-strength structural steel at elevated temperatures, especially under shear loading, is not well established in the literature. This paper presents results from recently conducted tests on high-strength structural bolts subject to

Framework for Cyber-Physical Systems: Volume 3, Timing Annex

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
David A. Wollman, Marc A. Weiss, YaShian Li-Baboud, Edward R. Griffor, Martin J. Burns
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) comprise interacting digital, analog, physical, and human components engineered for function through integrated physics and logic. NIST established the CPS Public Working Group (CPS PWG) to bring together a broad range of CPS

Identifying Evidence for Implementing a Cloud Forensic Analysis Framework

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
Changwei Liu, Anoop Singhal, Duminda Wijesekera
Cloud computing provides several benefits to organizations such as increased flexibility, scalability and reduced cost. However, it provides several challenges for digital forensics and criminal investigation. Some of these challenges are the dependence of

Local structural distortions in strained BaSrTiO3 thin films

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
Joseph C. Woicik, Eric L. Shirley, Keith Gilmore, K E. Andersen, C S. Hellberg
The local atomic structures in Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films grown on MgO(001) substrates have been determined by density functional theory calculations and Ti K-edge x-ray absorption fine-structure measurements. Films with either c > a or c

Small Changes Yield Large Results at NIST's Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
Arthur H. Fanney, William V. Payne, Joshua D. Kneifel, Lisa C. Ng, Brian P. Dougherty, Tania Ullah, William M. Healy, Farhad Omar
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has embarked on a multi-year project to establish that a residence can generate, through the use of renewables, the same amount of energy as it consumes while meeting the energy needs of a typical

Using Sensor Feedback to Accurately Estimate Part Pose in Gripper

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
Nithyananda Bhat Kumbla, Jeremy Marvel, Satyandra K. Gupta
High volume manufacturing use custom made fixtures during assembly operations. Small volume manufacturing cannot use fixtures in order to keep setup time and production cost low. The performance of the task in fixture-less assemblies depends on the
