Pairs of Heron and right triangles with a common area and a common perimeter

May 23, 2022
Author(s)
Abhishek Juyal, Dustin Moody
A Heron triangle is one in which the side lengths and area are integers. An integral right triangle is an example of a Heron triangle. In this paper, we show that there are infinitely many pairs of integral right triangles and Heron triangles with a common

MILLIGRAM MASS METROLOGY FOR QUANTITATIVE DEPOSITION OF LIQUID SAMPLES

May 22, 2022
Author(s)
Gordon A. Shaw
Quantitative dispensing of liquids by mass becomes increasingly difficult as sample volume decreases. Whereas milliliter quantities of liquid can be directly weighed as dispensed on an analytical balance or using pycnometer methods, microliter samples are

A Data Structure for Integrity Protection with Erasure Capability

May 20, 2022
Author(s)
D. Richard Kuhn
This document describes a data structure, referred to as a data block matrix, that supports the ongoing addition of hash-linked records while also allowing for the deletion of arbitrary records, thereby preserving hash-based integrity assurance that other

Electro-Optically Derived Arbitrary Millimeter-Wave Sources with 100 GHz of Bandwidth

May 20, 2022
Author(s)
Bryan Bosworth, Nick Jungwirth, Kassiopeia Smith, Jerome Cheron, Franklyn Quinlan, Madison Woodson, Jesse Morgan, Andreas Beling, Ari Feldman, Dylan Williams, Nate Orloff, Chris Long
We demonstrate fine phase and amplitude control of millimeter waves, measured on-wafer using an electro-optic frequency comb, programmable spectral filter, and a uni-traveling carrier photodiode. We then synthesize arbitrary waveforms with 100 GHz of

Indium Bump Process for Low-Temperature Detectors and Readout

May 20, 2022
Author(s)
Tammy Lucas, John Biesecker, W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Shannon Duff, Gene C. Hilton, Joel Ullom, Michael Vissers, Dan Schmidt
We describe our indium bump process for low-temperature detectors and associated readout. A titanium nitride under bump metallization layer (UBM) is reactively sputtered onto wiring pads as a diffusion barrier and adhesion layer. Indium is thermally

Interoperability Profile for Electric Vehicle Fleet Managed Charging

May 20, 2022
Author(s)
Cuong Nguyen
This application profile analyzes the capabilities of IEEE 2030.5-2018, an available smart grid focused open communication standard, to effectuate a use case that defines the communications aspects of the business function of an electric utility executing

NIST Cybersecurity Role-based Training Study Presentation

May 20, 2022
Author(s)
Jody Jacobs, Julie Haney, Susanne M. Furman
This presentation is for the May 17, 2022 Federal Information Security Educators (FISSEA) Spring Forum hosted by NIST. This presentation will present our preliminary findings from our Role-Based Training Study.

Value of information and decision pathways: Concepts and case studies

May 20, 2022
Author(s)
Pierre Glynn, Charles Rhodes, Scott Chiavacci, Jennifer Helgeson, Carl Shapiro, Crista Straub
Information plays a key role in the policy decision-making process – but the collection and dissemination of information carries costs. Understanding how these costs compare to the benefits of having the information (this is the value of information: "VOI"

Deep Learning for Path Loss Prediction in the 3.5 GHz CBRS Spectrum Band

May 19, 2022
Author(s)
Thao T. Nguyen, Raied Caromi, Kassem Kallas
In the 3.5 GHz citizen broadband radio service (CBRS) band, accurate path loss prediction is very important to protect the incumbent from harmful interference caused by the lower tier users. Within the current CBRS standards developed by the Wireless

Gauging the difficulty of image segmentation

May 19, 2022
Author(s)
Marek Franaszek
Image segmentation is the first step in a complex process of object recognition. This report presents a method to gauge the difficulty of segmentation by calculating a scalar parameter Q for an image. This parameter depends on a distribution of the

Advances in the \sc ocean}-3 spectroscopy package

May 18, 2022
Author(s)
John Vinson
The \sc ocean} code for calculating near-edge x-ray spectra using the Bethe-Salpeter equation is briefly reviewed. The code is capable of calculating UV/Vis, near-edge x-ray absorption or non-resonant scattering, and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

Intrinsically accurate sensing with an optomechanical accelerometer

May 18, 2022
Author(s)
Benjamin Reschovsky, David Long, Feng Zhou, Yiliang Bao, Richard A. Allen, Jason J. Gorman, Thomas W. LeBrun
We demonstrate a microfabricated optomechanical accelerometer that is capable of percent-level accuracy without external calibration. To achieve this capability, we use a mechanical model of the device behavior that can be characterized by the thermal

Machine learning enabling high-throughput and remote operations at large-scale user facilities

May 18, 2022
Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel, Tatiana Konstantinova, Phillip Michael Maffettone, Stuart Campbell, Andi Barbour, Daniel Olds
Imaging, scattering, and spectroscopy are fundamental in understanding and discovering new functional materials. Contemporary innovations in automation and experimental techniques have led to these measurements being performed much faster and with higher
