Methodology for Increasing Image Feature Measurement Accuracy

June 30, 2016
Author(s)
Michael Paul Majurski, Joe Chalfoun, Steven Lund, Peter Bajcsy, Mary C. Brady
Motivation Image features are computed in cell biology to derive quantitative information regarding cell state, differentiation, biological activity, and cell dynamics. The accuracy of any biological conclusions depends on the accuracy of the measured

Neutron Scattering Studies of Lithium-Ion Diffusion in Ternary Phosphate Glasses

June 30, 2016
Author(s)
Gavin Hester, Tom Heitmann, Madhu Sudan Tyagi, Munesh Rathore, Anshuman Dalvi, Saibal Mitra
We have studied the diffusion mechanism of lithium ions in glassy oxide-based solid sate electrolytes using elastic and electrolytes using elastic and quasielastic neutron scattering. Samples of xLi 2SO 4-(1-x)(Lid2^O-P 2O 5) were prepared using

Survey of Research for Performance Measurement of Mobile Manipulators

June 30, 2016
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Tsai H. Hong, Jeremy A. Marvel
This survey provides the basis for developing research in the area of mobile manipulator performance measurement, an area that has relatively few research articles, as com-pared to other mobile manipulator research areas. The survey begins with a

Stability of Single Electron Devices: Charge Offset Drift

June 29, 2016
Author(s)
Michael D. Stewart, Neil M. Zimmerman
Abstract: Single electron devices (SEDs) afford the opportunity to isolate and manipulate individual electrons. This ability imbues SEDs with potential applications in a wide array of areas from metrology (current and capacitance) to quantum information

A Guide to United States Furniture Compliance Requirements

June 28, 2016
Author(s)
Karen Reczek, lisa benson
This guide addresses children’s furniture, upholstered furniture and other types of furniture. This document does NOT address mattresses or other home furnishings such as carpets and rugs.

A Hybrid Human-Computer Approach to the Extraction of Scientific Facts from the Literature

June 28, 2016
Author(s)
Roselyne B. Tchoua, Kyle Chard, Debra Audus, Jian Qin, Juan J. de Pablo, Ian Foster
A wealth of valuable data is locked within the millions of research articles published each year. Reading and extracting pertinent information from those articles has become an unmanageable task for scientists. This problem hinders scientific progress by

Promoting Model-Based Definition to Establish a Common Information Model

June 28, 2016
Author(s)
Shawn P. Ruemler, Kyle E. Zimmerman, Nathan W. Hartman, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., Allison Barnard Feeney
The manufacturing industry is evolving and starting to use 3D models as the central knowledge artifact for product data and product definition, or what is known as Model-based Definition (MBD). The Model-based Enterprise (MBE) uses MBD as a way to

Reusing Metamodels and Notation with Diagram Definition

June 28, 2016
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock, Maged Elaasar
It is increasingly common for language specifications to separate visual forms (concrete syntax) from underlying concepts (abstract syntax), enabling languages to define multiple visual forms for the same underlying concepts, and for the same visual form

Spin wave localization in tangentially magnetized films

June 28, 2016
Author(s)
Elena V. Tartakovskaya, Martha Pardavi-Horvath, Robert McMichael
We present an analytical description of localized spin wave modes that form in a parabolic field minimum in a thin ferromagnetic film. Mode profiles proportional to Hermite functions are eigen-functions of the applied field and exchange parts of the

Transient thermometry and high-resolution analysis of filamentary resistive switches

June 28, 2016
Author(s)
Jonghan Kwon, Chao-Yang Chen, Abhishek Sharma, Andrea Fantini, Malgorzata Jurczak, James A. Bain, Yoosuf Picard, Marek Skowronski, Andrew Herzing
We present data on the filament size and temperature distribution in Hf0.82Al0.18Ox-based Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) devices obtained by transient thermometry and high- resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The thermometry shows

Automating Asset Knowledge with MTConnect

June 27, 2016
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Sid Venkatesh, Sidney Ly, Martin Manning
In order to maximize assets, manufacturers should use real-time knowledge garnered from ongoing and continuous collection and evaluation of factory-floor machine status data. In discrete parts manufacturing, factory machine monitoring has been difficult

Demystifiying the Internet of Things

June 27, 2016
Author(s)
Jeffrey M. Voas
This short column introduces the need for a foundational science to the Internet of Things (IoT). It introduces the notion of primitives and elements, and their relationship to trustworthiness.

Metamorphic Testing for Cybersecurity

June 27, 2016
Author(s)
Tsong Yueh Chen, Fei-Ching Kuo, Wenjuan Ma, Willy Susilo, Dave Towey, Jeff Voas, Zhi Q. Zhou
Testing is a major approach for the detection of software defects, including security vulnerabilities. This article introduces metamorphic testing (MT), a relatively new testing method, and discusses how the new perspective of MT can help to conduct

Powder Bed Layer Geometry

June 27, 2016
Author(s)
Michael L. McGlauflin, Shawn P. Moylan
This paper investigates the measurement of machine performance errors associated with the powder bed geometry of a commercially available laser additive manufacturing (AM) machine. The methodology is based on existing ISO/ANSI standards as employed in

Residual Stresses in Flow Drill Screwdriving of Aluminium Alloy Sheets

June 27, 2016
Author(s)
Justin L. Milner, Thomas H. Gnaeupel-Herold, Jamie D. Skovron
With an increase in fuel economy standards and the need for reducing emissions set for the automotive sector, has increased the demand for lightweight vehicles. It is well known that the single heaviest component of a passenger vehicle is the body

Surrogate Gas Prediction Model as a Proxy for {D}14C-Based Measurements of Fossil Fuel-CO2

June 27, 2016
Author(s)
Kevin J. Coakley, Benjamin Miller, Stephen A. Montzka, Colm Sweeney, Ben Miller, John B. Miller
In contrast to CO2 produced in the atmosphere by all other sources, CO2 produced by the combustion of fossil fuels is devoid of 14C. Thus, the measured 14C: 12C isotopic ratio of atmospheric CO2 (and its associated derived {Δ}14C value) is an ideal tracer
