Web-enabled Real-time Quality Feedback for Factory Systems using MTConnect

August 15, 2012
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Byeong Eon Lee, Frederick M. Proctor, Sid Venkatesh
Quality is a key element to success for any manufacturer, and the fundamental prerequisite for quality is measurement. In the discrete parts industry, quality is attained through inspection of parts but typically there is a long latency between machining

Information Required for Dimensional Measurement

July 27, 2012
Author(s)
John A. Horst, Curtis Brown, Robert Brown, Larry Maggiano, K Summerhays, Thomas R. Kramer
Much work has been done by standards organizations to model dimensional measurement information in digital formats, but the work done has revealed that standard digital formats from upstream processes are currently insufficient to enable the automatic

Advancing the State of Urban Search and Rescue Robotics through the RoboCupRescue Robot League Competition

July 16, 2012
Author(s)
Raymond K. Sheh, Adam S. Jacoff, Ann M. Virts, Tetsuya Kimura, Johannes Pellenz, Soren Schwertfeger, Jackrit Suthakorn
The RoboCupRescue Robot League is an international competition that has grown to be an effective driver for the dissemination of solutions to the challenges posed by Urban Search and Rescue Robotics and accelerated the development of the performance

Room Temperature Acoustic Transducers for High-Temperature Thermometry

July 9, 2012
Author(s)
Dean C. Ripple, William E. Murdock, Gregory F. Strouse, Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover
We have successfully conducted highly-accurate, primary acoustic thermometry at 600 K using a sound source and a sound detector at room temperature. We describe the source, the detector, and the ducts that connected them to our cavity resonator. This

Displacement Sensor for Detecting Sub-micrometer Motion

July 6, 2012
Author(s)
Svetlana Avramov-Zamurovic1, Jae M. Yoo, Nicholas Dagalakis, Rae Duk Lee
This paper describes the design of a nano displacement sensor that detects the presence of a moving platform by using fringing electric field. Its electrodes are commercially prefabricated Teflon insulated wires. This solution provides for excellent

A Glowing Future for Lab on a Chip Testing Standards

June 28, 2012
Author(s)
Samuel M. Stavis
Testing standards are more fundamental from a metrological perspective and less controversial from an industrial perspective than product standards, representing a path of less resistance towards the standardization and commercialization of lab on a chip

Next Generation Packaging, Kitting, and Palletizing: Can one robot do it all?

June 28, 2012
Author(s)
Rajmohan (. Madhavan, Stephen B. Balakirsky, Craig I. Schlenoff
A seminar titled "Next Generation Packaging, Kitting, and Palletizing: Can one robot do it all?" was held on February 9th 2012 at the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) MODEX show in Atlanta, GA. The seminar primarily focused on whether systems

Safe Control of Manufacturing Vehicles Research Towards Standard Test Methods

June 28, 2012
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, William P. Shackleford, Geraldine S. Cheok, Kamel S. Saidi
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Intelligent Systems Division has been researching several areas leading to safe control of manufacturing vehicles to improve AGV safety standards. The research areas include: - Automated guided vehicle

TESTING LONG-WAVELENGTH ACOUSTIC FLOWMETER CONCEPTS FOR FLUE GAS FLOWS

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Lee J. Gorny, Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover
As a part of NIST’s program to standardize measurements of greenhouse gas emissions, we are developing a long-wavelength acoustic flowmeter (LWAF) for accurate, economical measurements of exhaust flows from coal-burning power plants. Measurements of the

Airspeed Calibration Services: Laser Doppler Anemometer Calibration and Its Uncertainty

June 20, 2012
Author(s)
Iosif I. Shinder, Michael R. Moldover, J. M. Hall, Mike Duncan, Joe Keck
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are improving their airspeed calibration services. Both laboratories use spinning disks to generate linear velocities that are traceable to NIST’s length
