Defeating Buffer Overflow: One of the Most Trivial and Dangerous Bugs of All!

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Paul E. Black, Irena Bojanova
The C programming language was invented over 40 years ago. It is infamous for buffer overflows. We have learned a lot about computer science, language design, and software engineering since then. As it is unlikely that we will stop using C any time soon

Impact of NIST Laboratory Outputs on Innovation

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Gary W. Anderson Jr.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) mission is to “promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness.” To meet this mission, NIST scientists produce a great variety of scientific and technical outputs. This paper present

Maximizing Output Power of a CFPG Micro Energy-Harvester for Wearable Medical Sensors

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Mehdi Dadfarnia, Kamran Sayrafian, Paul Mitcheson, John Baras
Energy Harvesting refers to the process of capturing and storing energy from the ambient environment. Kinetic energy harvested from the human body motion seems to be one of the most convenient and attractive solutions for wearable wireless sensors in

MOSAIC: A Modular Single Molecular Analysis Interface for Decoding Multi-state Nanopore Data

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Jacob H. Forstater, Kyle Briggs, Joseph W. Robertson, Jessica H. Benjamini, Olivier M. Marie-Rose, Canute I. Vaz, John J. Kasianowicz, Vincent Tabard-Cossa, Arvind Balijepalli
Single molecule measurements with nanometer-scale pores are being developed for a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic applications.  Critical to the method is the ability to accurately and precisely detect the presence of an analyte, quantify its

Ring Resonator Thermometry

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Nikolai Klimov, Zeeshan Ahmed
We report on our study of a temperature response of ring resonator based sensors and their interchangeability over a wide temperature range. Our results suggest that with a proper fabrication process control the interchangeability in photonic thermometers

Self-Assembly of Polymer-Grafted Nanoparticles in Solvent-free Conditions

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas
The grafting of polymer chains onto the surface of spherical nanoparticles leads to a hybrid type of fluid that exhibits properties of both particle suspensions and melts of star polymers – these properties being controlled by the relative dimensions of

The Economic Impact of Technology Infrastructure for Advanced Robotics

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Gary W. Anderson Jr.
NIST performed a series of independent analyses to guide advanced manufacturing research investments. This brief reports on the results of the analysis of the advanced robotics and automation sector. The study identifies critical technical needs in the

The Economic Impact of Technology Infrastructure for Smart Manufacturing

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Gary W. Anderson Jr.
NIST performed a series of independent analyses to guide advanced manufacturing research investments. This briefs analyzes results that identified technology infrastructure needs in smart manufacturing. The study finds that closing these gaps supports the

Using Network Analyses to Identify Emerging Research Areas

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Susan L. Makar, Amanda J. Malanowski, Amy L. Trost
The Information Services Office (ISO) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working to identify emerging research areas where NIST can have the greatest impact on industry and society. ISO staff have analyzed bibliometric data

An Overview of Atom-Based SI-Traceable Electric-Field Metrology

October 30, 2016
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons
We present an overview of radio frequency (RF) electric-field measurements using Rydberg atoms. This technique exploits the rich resonance response of these atoms which can occur across a large frequency range from 1 GHz-500 GHz. This measurement utilizes
