Pressure-Sensitive Sampling Wands for Homeland Security Applications

December 1, 2013
Author(s)
Matthew E. Staymates, Jennifer R. Verkouteren, Jessica Grandner
This work discusses the use of Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) technology for Homeland Security applications. One area of particular focus is the optimization of wipe sampling of surfaces to facilitate enhanced trace contraband collection. Another focus area

Electro-Thermo-Mechanical Model for Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonators

November 30, 2013
Author(s)
Eduard Rocas, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Jordi Mateu, Nathan D. Orloff, James C. Booth, Robert Aigner
We present the electro-thermo-mechanical constitutive relations, expanded up to the third order, for a BAW resonator. The relations obtained are implemented into a circuit model, which is validated with extensive linear and nonlinear measurements. The

Viscosity-ratio measurements with capillary viscometers

November 27, 2013
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, Eric F. May, Michael R. Moldover
Viscosity-ratio measurements made with capillary viscometers exploit the accurate values of the viscosity of helium calculated ab initio. Accurate values of the argon-to-helium viscosity ratio are now used for primary acoustic gas thermometry and for the

Accurate Spring Constant Calibration for very Stiff Atomic Force Microscopy Cantilevers

November 26, 2013
Author(s)
Scott Grutzik, Richard S. Gates, Yvonne B. Gerbig, Douglas T. Smith, Robert F. Cook, Alan Zehnder
There are many atomic force microscopy (AFM) applications that rely on quantifying the force between the AFM cantilever tip and the sample. The AFM does not explicitly measure force, however, so in such cases knowledge of the cantilever stiffness is

Wavelength Dependent UV Inactivation and DNA Damage of Adenovirus 2 as Measured by Cell Culture Infectivity and Long Range Quantitative PCR

November 22, 2013
Author(s)
Sara E. Beck, Roberto A. Rodriguez, Karl G. Linden, Thomas M. Hargy, Thomas C. Larason, Harold B. Wright
Adenovirus is regarded as the most resistant pathogen to ultraviolet (UV) disinfection due to its demonstrated resistance to monochromatic, low-pressure (LP) UV irradiation at 254 nm. This resistance has resulted in high UV dose requirements for all

Checking the Net Content of Packaged Goods (NIST HB 133-2014)

November 1, 2013
Author(s)
Linda D. Crown, David A. Sefcik, Lisa Warfield
This handbook has been prepared as a procedural guide for the compliance testing of net contents statements on packaged goods. Compliance testing of packaged goods is the determination of the conformance results of the packaging, distribution, and

Optical Coherence Tomography for Dimensional Metrology of Lab-on-a-chip devices

October 27, 2013
Author(s)
Darwin R. Reyes-Hernandez, Michael W. Halter, Jeeseong Hwang
Here we present a new metrology tool for the determination of the dimensions of channels from final product Lab-on-a-chip devices. Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) areas of up to 12 mm x 12 mm can be imaged in less than 1 second, without the need

Diamond Sensors and Polycapillary Lenses for X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

October 13, 2013
Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel
Diamond sensors are evaluated as incident beam monitors for X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy experiments. These single crystal devices pose a challenge for an energyscanning experiment using hard X-rays due to the e ect of diffraction from the crystalline
