Performance and Environmental Correction of a Low-Cost NDIR CO2 Sensor

July 3, 2017
Author(s)
Cory Martin, Ning Zeng, Anna Karion, Russell R. Dickerson, Xinrong Ren, Bari Turpie, Kristy Weber
Abstract. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are a low-cost way to observe carbon dioxide concentrations in ambient air, but their specified accuracy and precision are not sufficient for some scientific applications. An initial evaluation of six

Sampling Architectures for Ultra-Wideband Signals

July 3, 2017
Author(s)
Howard S. Cohl, Steve Casey
Ultra-wideband (UWB) signal processing is a technology with many features that could develop into advances in communication and information technology. The technology has tremendous potential, but also presents challenges to the signal processing community

Prototype Tests of a Miniature Radiation Pressure Sensor

July 2, 2017
Author(s)
Alexandra B. Artusio-Glimpse, Paul A. Williams, Nathan A. Tomlin, Ivan Ryger, Michelle S. Stephens, John H. Lehman
Using reflection, radiation pressure (RP) sensors provide a means for in-situ power measurement simply and accurately. The first realization of multi-kW RP power meters (RPPM) established a new paradigm of optical power measurement technology [1]. Our

Silicon Micromachined Capacitive Force Scale: The Way to Improved Radiation Pressure Sensing

July 2, 2017
Author(s)
Ivan Ryger, Paul A. Williams, Nathan A. Tomlin, Alexandra B. Artusio-Glimpse, Michelle S. Stephens, Matthew T. Spidell, John H. Lehman
Measurement of high optical power using radiation pressure sensing [1] is attractive for its non-absorbing power measurment allowing compact sensor dimensions, faster response times and negligible optical power dissipation compared to standard thermal

Uncertainty Assessment of Equations of State with Application to an Organic Rankine Cycle

July 2, 2017
Author(s)
Jerome Frutiger, Ian Bell, O'Connell J. P., Kenneth Kroenlein, Jens Abildskov, Gurkan Sin
Evaluations of equations of state (EoS) with application to process systems should include uncertainty analysis. A generic method is presented for determining such uncertainties from both the mathematical form and the data for obtaining EoS parameter

Abrupt dependence of ultrafast extrinsic photoconductivity on er fraction in gaas:er

July 1, 2017
Author(s)
Elliott Brown, A. Mingardi, W-D. Zhang, Ari Feldman, Todd E. Harvey, Richard Mirin
We present a study of room-temperature, ultrafast photoconductivity associated with strong, sub-bandgap, resonant absorption around lamba} = 1550 nm in three MBE-grown GaAs epitaxial layers heavily doped with Er at concentrations of ≅2.9 x 10 18 (control

Impact of Varying Vacuum Levels on Self-Heating in Photonic Thermometers

July 1, 2017
Author(s)
Zeeshan Ahmed, Nikolai N. Klimov, James R. Hands, James A. Fedchak
Here we examine the impact of vacuum levels on self-heating in photonic crystal cavity thermometers. Our results suggest that background gas pressure has a negligible impact on self- heating correction to the temperature-wavelength calibration.

Measurement and Modeling Needs for Next-Generation Concrete Binders

July 1, 2017
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard, Edward J. Garboczi, Paul E. Stutzman, Pan Feng, Alexander S. Brand, John G. Hagedorn, Wesley N. Griffin, Judith E. Terrill
Cementitious binders have become increasingly complex in their variety, mineralogical and chemical compositions, and structure over the past several decades, and there is no sign that the trend will stop or reverse in the future. Strategies for handling

Modulation of Polypeptide Conformation through Donor-Acceptor Transformation of Side-Chain Hydrogen Bonding Ligands

July 1, 2017
Author(s)
Ziyuan Song, Rachael A. Mansbach, Hua He, Kuo-Chih Shih, Ryan Baumgartner, Nan Zheng, Xiaochu Ba, Yinzhao Huang, Deepak Mani, Yun Liu, Yao Lin, Mu-Ping Nieh, Andrew L. Ferguson, Lichen Yin, Jianjun Chen
Synthetic polypeptides have received increasing attention due to their ability to form higher ordered structures similar to proteins. The control over their secondary structures, which enables dynamic conformational changes, is primarily accomplished by
