Neutron radioscopy: industrial and scientific applications

March 15, 2010
Author(s)
Daniel Hussey, Michael A. Hickner
Neutron imaging has been a unique, precise, measurement tool for water transport in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), enabling the direct measurement of the water distribution in standard, commercially viable fuel cell hardware. Thus, in the

Water based Polyurethane Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites

March 3, 2010
Author(s)
Coralie Bernard, Tinh Nguyen, Bastien T. Pellegrin, Mat Celina, Alexander J. Shapiro, Deborah Jacobs, Kar T. Tan, Sungjin Park, R. S. Ruoff, Joannie W. Chin
Graphene oxides are potentially a new class of nanomaterial to enhance multifunctional properties of polymers because of their remarkable thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and more importantly, low cost. The graphene oxides, produced by

Utility Assessment in TRANSTAC: Using a set of complementary methods

February 8, 2010
Author(s)
Michelle P. Steves, Emile L. Morse
This paper describes the methods used during formative utility assessments for speech-to-speech, real-time translation systems intended for tactical use. The systems, while still prototypical, had hardware platforms that could be exercised indoors or

Comparison of Large-Signal-Network-Analyzer Calibrations

February 5, 2010
Author(s)
Dylan F. Williams, Catherine A. Remley, Joe Gering, Grand Aivazian
We develop a procedure and metrics for comparing large-signal-network-analyzer calibrations. The metrics we develop provide a bound on differences between measurements obtained from large-signal-network-analyzer calibrations, as well as more specific

Characterization of SiGe Films for use as a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Microanalysis Reference material (RM 8905)

Ryna B. Marinenko, Shirley Turner, David S. Simons, Savelas A. Rabb, Rolf L. Zeisler, Lee L. Yu, Dale E. Newbury, Rick L. Paul, Nicholas W. Ritchie, Stefan D. Leigh, Michael R. Winchester, Lee J. Richter, Douglas C. Meier, Keana C. Scott, D Klinedinst, John A. Small
Bulk SiGe wafers cut from single-crystal boules and two SiGe thick films (4 m and 5 m thick) on Si wafers were evaluated with the electron probe microanalyzer for the extent of heterogeneity and composition for use as reference materials needed by the

NIST HB 105-4, Specifications and Tolerances for Reference Standards and Field Standard Weights and Measures 4. Specifications and Tolerances for Liquefied Petroleum Gas and Anhydrous Ammonia Pressurized Volumetic Field Standards

February 1, 2010
Author(s)
Georgia L. Harris, L.F. Eason
These specifications and tolerances are recommended as minimum requirements for standards used by state and local weights and measures officials and others in the regulatory verification of meters used in quantity determination of pressurized liquid

Three steps towards metrological traceability for ballistics signature measurements

February 1, 2010
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Theodore V. Vorburger, Robert M. Thompson, Thomas Brian Renegar, Xiaoyu Alan Zheng, Li Ma, James H. Yen, Martin Ols
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in collaboration with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has developed the Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2460 bullets and 2461 casings. NIST and ATF are proposing to

January 31, 2010
Author(s)
Georgia L. Harris, L.F. Eason
These specifications and tolerances are recommended as minimum requirements for standards used by state and local weights and measures officials and others in the regulatory verification of meters used in quantity determination of liquid commodities. Other

DYNAMIC PERCEPTION WORKSHOP REPORT: Requirements and Standards for Advanced Manufacturing

January 14, 2010
Author(s)
Tsai Hong Hong, Elena R. Messina, Hui-Min Huang, Michael O. Shneier, Roger D. Eastman, Jane Shi, James Wells
The Dynamic Perception workshop was intended to further the development of standardized, reproducible, and portable test methods that can advance the technology of sensors and perception systems for new, flexible robotic and automation applications in

Vibration spectrum of a low-vibration pulse-tube cryostat from 1 Hz to 20 kHz

January 11, 2010
Author(s)
Akobuije D. Chijioke, John R. Lawall
The vibrations of the cold finger of a low-vibration helium pulse-tube cryostat are measured from 1 Hz to 20 kHz using an optical interferometer specially designed to measure small vibrations at high frequencies in the presence of large vibrations at lower

Demonstrating the metrological compatibility of uranium isotope amount ratio measurement results performed by GSMS, TIMS and MC-ICPMS techniques

January 5, 2010
Author(s)
Olivio Pereira de Oliveira, Willy De Bolle, Stefan Richter, Adolfo Alonso, Emmanuel Ponzevera, Christophe Qu?tel, Jorge Eduardo de Souza Sarkis, Roger Wellum, Ruediger Kessel
The metrological compatibility of n(234U)/n(238U), n(235U)/n(238U) and n(236U)/n(238U) isotope amount ratio measurement results performed by gas source mass spectrometry (GSMS), thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (TIMS) and multi-collector inductively

Nanoscale Measurements With the TSOM Optical Method

January 4, 2010
Author(s)
Ravikiran Attota
A novel through-focus scanning optical microscope (TSOM - pronounced as 'tee-som') technique that produces nanometer dimensional measurement sensitivity using a conventional optical microscope by analyzing images obtained at different focus positions will
