Certification Approaches for Weigh-In-Motion Systems in Law Enforcement Applications

March 26, 2024
Author(s)
Katrice Lippa, Jan Konijnenburg, Loren Minnich, Tanvi Pandya, James Willis
Every day, overweight and excessively heavy vehicles cause damage to roads, bridges, and other vehicle-based infrastructure. To protect this vital transportation infrastructure for the U.S., states have imposed weight limits for commercial and fleet

An Evaluation of Methods for Assessing Robot Kinematic Model Accuracy in the Presence of Noise

March 25, 2024
Author(s)
Mitchell R. Woodside, Patrick Bazzoli, Philip A. Olubodun, J. Adam Nisbett, Helen Qiao, Douglas A. Bristow
While there are many works developing methods for modeling and calibrating robot kinematics, assessing the accuracy of those models has received little attention. However, accuracy assessment is critically important for applications where the robot must

Bilayer crystals of trapped ions for quantum information processing

March 25, 2024
Author(s)
Samarth Hawalder, Prakriti Shahi, Allison Carter, Ana Maria Rey, John J. Bollinger, Athreya Shankar
Trapped ion systems are a leading platform for quantum information processing, but they are currently limited to 1D and 2D arrays, which imposes restrictions on both their scalability and their range of applications. Here, we propose a path to overcome

A Four-Grating Interferometer for X-Ray Multi-Contrast Imaging

March 24, 2024
Author(s)
Daniel Josell, Houxun Miao, James Williams, Jr.
Background: X-Ray multi-contrast imaging with gratings provides a practical method to detect the differential phase and dark-field contrast images in addition to the traditional X-ray absorption image in a laboratory or hospital environment. Systems have

Excited-Band Coherent Delocalization for Improved Optical Lattice Clock Performance

March 24, 2024
Author(s)
Jacob Siegel, Andrew Ludlow, Youssef Hassan, Kyle Beloy, Tanner Grogan, Chun-Chia Chen
We implement coherent delocalization as a tool for improving the two primary metrics of atomic clock performance: systematic uncertainty and instability. By decreasing atomic density with co- herent delocalization, we suppress cold-collision shifts and two

Improving the TENOR of Labeling: Re-evaluating Topic Models for Content Analysis

March 23, 2024
Author(s)
Zongxia Li, Andrew Mao, Jordan Boyd-Graber, Daniel Stephens, Emily Walpole, Alden A. Dima, Juan Fung
Topic models are a popular tool for understanding text collections, but their evaluation has been a point of contention. Automated evaluation metrics such as coherence are often used, however, their validity has been questioned for neural topic models

A case study of multi-modal, multi-institutional data management for the combinatorial materials science community

March 22, 2024
Author(s)
Sarah Allec, Eric Muckley, Nathan Johnson, Christopher Borg, Dylan Kirsch, Joshua B. Martin, Ichiro Takeuchi, Andrew Lee, James Saal, Logan Ward, Apruva Mehta
Although the convergence of high-performance computing, automation, and machine learning has significantly altered the materials design timeline, transformative advances in functional materials and acceleration of their design will require addressing the

NIST Scientific Integrity Program Annual Report

March 22, 2024
Author(s)
Anne Andrews, Justyna Zwolak
This report summarizes the findings of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Scientific Integrity Program assessment of the program for the period between 1 June 2022 and 30 September 2023. It provides an assessment of the current state of the

Visualizing 3D Morphologies and Spatial Heterogeneities of Li after Fast- Charging via In-situ Neutron Tomography

March 22, 2024
Author(s)
Maha Yusuf, Anders Kaestner, Markus Wied, Jacob LaManna, Nghia Vo, Alison Dunlop, Andrew Jansen, Bryant Polzin, Stephen Trask, Markus Strobl, Vanessa Wood, Michael Toney, Johanna Weker
Mechanistic understanding of Li plating is imperative to developing fast-charging batteries for sustainable electric vehicles. Here, we report in-situ 3D characterization of the morphology and spatial heterogeneities of Li plating using neutron micro

KNOWLEDGE EXTRACTION IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING A FORMAL CONCEPT ANALYSIS APPROACH

March 20, 2024
Author(s)
Zhuo Yang, Yan Lu, Yande Ndiaye, Mario Lezoche, Herve Panetto
In Additive Manufacturing (AM), it is still a major challenge to manage part quality, which is heavily influenced by feedstock materials, process settings, and in-process control. Deviations in these factors can lead to defects in the final product

MULTI-SCALE MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL FOR LASER POWDER BED FUSION ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

March 20, 2024
Author(s)
Gi Suk Hong, Zhuo Yang, Yan Lu, Brandon Lane, Ho Yeung, Jaehyuk Kim
Additive manufacturing (AM) process stability is critical for ensuring part quality. Model Predictive Control (MPC) has been widely recognized as a robust technology for controlling manufacturing processes across various industries. Despite its widespread

TOWARDS REPRODUCIBLE MACHINE LEARNING-BASED PROCESS MONITORING AND QUALITY PREDICTION RESEARCH FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

March 20, 2024
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Zhuo Yang, Jiarui Xie, Mutahar Safdar, Andrei Mircea Romascanu, Hyunwoong Ko, Yaoyao Fiona Zhao
Machine learning (ML)-based monitoring systems have been extensively developed to enhance the print quality of additive manufacturing (AM). In-situ and in-process data acquired using sensors can be used to train ML models that detect process anomalies
