November 15, 2012
Author(s)
Shu-jen H. Chang, Ray A. Perlner, William E. Burr, Meltem Sonmez Turan, John M. Kelsey, Souradyuti Paul, Lawrence E. Bassham
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) opened a public competition on November 2, 2007 to develop a new cryptographic hash algorithm - SHA-3, which will augment the hash algorithms specified in the Federal Information Processing Standard

Toward Better Integration of Vehicle Assembly Production Systems

November 15, 2012
Author(s)
Jorge Arinez, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, William G. Rippey, C J. Yen
In today's manufacturing world, system integration often necessitates composing systems of technology that are not designed to interoperate with each other. This inherent incompatibility results in redundant, non-value added work that is required for

Chirality-controlled cloning of carbon nanotubes

November 13, 2012
Author(s)
Ming Zheng, Xiaomin X. Tu, Jia Liu, Chuan Wang, Chongwu Zhou
Carbon nanotubes possess superior electrical and optical properties and hold great promise for electronic and biomedical applications1-10. The electronic properties of carbon nanotubes strongly depend on their chirality, with 1/3 being metallic1, 2/3 being

Vibrational modes of GaN nanowires in the gigahertz range

November 13, 2012
Author(s)
Ward L. Johnson, Sudook A. Kim, Roy H. Geiss, Colm Flannery, Kristine A. Bertness, Paul R. Heyliger
Monocrystalline nanowires offer an attractive basis for resonant nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) for a variety of applications, including mass and force sensing, and, in each of these applications, there are advantages to operation at frequencies

Ultra-low noise regenerative frequency divider

November 11, 2012
Author(s)
Archita Hati, Craig W. Nelson, Corey A. Barnes, Danielle G. Lirette, Jason A. DeSalvo, David A. Howe
We designed ultra-low noise regenerative divider-by-2 circuits that operate at input frequencies of 20 MHz and 10 MHz. We achieved residual output-referred single-sideband phase noise below -162 dBc/Hz at 10 Hz offset for a single divider at these

Bridging the gap between random microstructure and 3-D meshing

November 10, 2012
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Yang Lu
There are different ways of mathematically representing 3-D heterogeneous material structures. But for each of these methods, usually the desired end result is a 3-D finite element mesh that will be used to investigate the mechanical properties of the

Testing the Nations Health care Information Infrastructure

November 10, 2012
Author(s)
Kevin G. Brady, Ram D. Sriram, Bettijoyce B. Lide, Kathleen M. Roberts
According to a report by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS] (http://www.cms.gov), the United States spent nearly $2.6 trillion dollars on health care in 2010. It is estimated that this will nearly double by the end of this decade. This is

Electronic structure of Ba-Ga-Ge-Si Type I Clathrates: A Ge and Ga K-Edge Study

November 9, 2012
Author(s)
Winnie Wong-Ng, Azzam Mansour, Joshua Martin, George S. Nolas
XANES spectroscopy was successfully used to study changes in the density of unoccupied states for silicon substituted Ba8Ga16Ge30-xSix type I clathrates. Partial density of unoccupied states with p character is modified for both Ga and Ge upon Si

Fast Sequential Importance Sampling to Estimate the Graph Reliability Polynomial

November 8, 2012
Author(s)
David G. Harris, Francis Sullivan, Isabel M. Beichl
The reliability polynomial of a graph measures the number of its connected subgraphs of various sizes. Algortihms based on sequential importance sampling (SIS) have been proposed to estimate a graph's reliahbility polynomial. We develop an improved SIS

Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Assemblies under a Column Removal Scenario

November 8, 2012
Author(s)
Yihai Bao, Hai S. Lew, Sashi K. Kunnath
This paper presents a computational investigation of two reinforced concrete beam-column assemblies, each comprising three columns and two beams, subjected to monotonically increasing vertical displacement of the unsupported center column simulating a

Raymond Sheh, Haldun Komsuoglu, Adam Jacoff, Tetsuya Kimura, Daniele Nardi, Johannes Pellenz, Gerald Steinbauer
The 2012 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Safety, Security and Rescue Robotics Summer School was held from the 9th to the 15th of September in Alanya, Turkey, and brought together a select group of students, researchers, responders, manufacturers and

EVALUATING METHODS OF SHIPPING THIN SILICON WAFERS FOR 3D STACKED APPLICATIONS

November 7, 2012
Author(s)
Richard A. Allen, Urmi Ray, Vidhya Ramachandran, Iqbal Ali, David T. Read, Andreas Fehk?hrer, J?rgen Burggraf
An experiment was performed to develop a method for choosing appropriate packaging for shipping 300 mm silicon wafers thinned to 100 µm or less for three-dimensional stacked integrated circuits (3DS-ICs). 3DS-ICs hold the promise of improved performance
