Jetting Flow of a Shear Banding Fluid

November 20, 2016
Author(s)
Paul NMN Salipante, Charles A. Little, Steven D Hudson
In this video we show the jetting behavior of a shear banding worm-like micelle solution in microfluidic flows. The jetting behavior is characterized by a self-contained portion of the channel where the flow velocity is greater than the surroundings. We

Charter of the Institute Directors Council: Manufacturing USA

November 18, 2016
Author(s)
Craig Blue, Larry Brown, Yoel Fink, Nick Justice, Michael Liehr, Tom McDermott, Ed Morris, Shawn P. Moylan
The Manufacturing USA program is composed of the collective of all of the manufacturing innovation institutes and a supporting Network. The Network serves the Institutes, the Institutes connect through the Network, and the Program serves the Nation.

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Polyol Ester Lubricants

November 18, 2016
Author(s)
Kimberly N. Urness, Raina V. Gough, Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno
Synthetic lubricants are widely used for applications that require high-thermal and oxidative stability. In order to facilitate new designs and applications for these fluids we are measuring a suite of thermophysical and transport properties for lubricant

ZnTaO 2 N: Stabilized High-Temperature LiNbO 3 -Type Structure

November 18, 2016
Author(s)
Yoshinori Kuno, Cedric Tassel, Koji Fujita, Dmitry Batuk, Artem M. Abakumov, Kazuki Shitara, Akihide Kuwabara, Hiroki Moriwake, Daichi Watabe, Clemens Ritter, Craig Brown, Takafumi Yamamoto, Fumitaka Takeiri, Ryu Abe, Yoji Kobayashi, Katsuhisa Tanaka, Hiroshi Kageyama
By using a high pressure reaction, we prepared a new oxynitride ZnToO 2N that crystallizes in a centrosymmetric (R-3 c)high-temperature LiNbO 3-type structure (HTLN-type). The stabilization of the HTLN-type structure down to low temperatures (at least 20 K

Planning Algorithms for Multi-Setup Multi-Pass Robotic Cleaning with Oscillatory Moving Tools

November 17, 2016
Author(s)
Ariyan M. Kabir, Joshua D. Langsfeld, Shaurya Shriyam, Vinaichandra S. Rachakonda, Cunbo Zhuang, Krishnanand N. Kaipa, Jeremy Marvel, Satyandra K. Gupta
We describe planning algorithms for cleaning stains on a curved object. Removing the stain may require multiple reorientations of the part and some portions of the stain may require multiple cleaning passes. The experimental setup involves two robot arms

Unified scaling law for flux pinning in practical superconductors: Part 2. Parameter testing, scaling constants, and the extrapolative scaling expression

November 17, 2016
Author(s)
John (Jack) W. Ekin, Najib Cheggour, Loren F. Goodrich, Jolene D. Splett, Bernardo Bordini, David Richter
A scaling study of several thousand Nb3Sn critical-current (Ic) measurements is used to derive the extrapolative scaling expression (ESE), a relation that can quickly and accurately interpolate and extrapolate full three-dimensional Ic(B,T,ε) datasets from

Entangling distant resonant exchange qubits via circuit quantum electrodynamics

November 16, 2016
Author(s)
Jacob M. Taylor, Vanita Srinivasa, Charles Tahan
We investigate a hybrid quantum system consisting of spatially separated resonant exchange qubits, defined in three-electron semiconductor triple quantum dots, that are coupled via a super- conducting transmission line resonator. By analyzing three

Sensor Calibration and Registration for Mobile Manipulators

November 16, 2016
Author(s)
Steven Legowik, Roger V. Bostelman, Tsai H. Hong
This paper describes the methods used to register a mobile manipulator to a workstation to perform assembly tasks. The nonlinear, least square model of the system is formulated and Ceres Solver[1] is used to compute the position of the robot arm relative

A Literature Review of Disaster-Induced Business Interruption and an Exploratory Analysis of the Effects of the 2004 Atlantic Hurricane Season on Florida Establishments at the Zip Code Level

November 15, 2016
Author(s)
David H. Webb, Stanley W. Gilbert
As an exploratory analysis, demographic data from the 2000 Census and 2011 American Community Survey at the Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) code level are used in conjunction with damage estimates from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to model

Chapter 4: Thermodynamics

November 15, 2016
Author(s)
Ursula R. Kattner, Tore Haug-Warberg, Long-Qing Chen, Bengt Hallstedt, Andre Costa e Silva, Joonho Lee, Jean-Marc Joubert, Jean-Claude Crivello, Zhang Fan, Bethany Huseby
Thermodynamic modelling is currently one of the most mature areas of ICME and companies that produce software tools for thermodynamic modelling are deeply involved in initiatives in the EU and US to advance the ICME vision, so thermodynamic modelling will

Scalable, chip-based optically-controlled gates for quantum information processing

November 15, 2016
Author(s)
Sergey V. Polyakov, Ivan Burenkov, Olga Tikhonova
Here we present a simple and robust method to build on-the-fly configurable quantum gates based on photonic exchange between quantum nodes. The idea is based on a high reflectivity of Bragg grating structures near resonant wavelengths. The control is

A Planar Hyperblack Absolute Radiometer

November 14, 2016
Author(s)
John H. Lehman, Michelle S. Stephens, Malcolm G. White, Andreas Steiger, Christian Monte, Joerg Hollandt, Ivan Ryger, Mathias Kehrt, Marla L. Dowell
The absolute responsivity of a planar radiometer fabricated from micromachined silicon and having carbon nanotubes as the absorber and thermistor was measured in the visible and far infrared (free-field terahertz) wavelength range by means of detector
