An Ontological Modeling Platform

June 4, 2008
Author(s)
V.C. Liang, Conrad E. Bock, XuanFang Zha
The Ontological Modeling Platform described in this paper is a class library for extended ontological operations, to support extension of ontology languages, composition of interconnected elements, and high-level product modeling services, such as

ASTM E57 - 3D Imaging Systems

June 4, 2008
Author(s)
Geraldine S. Cheok, Alan M. Lytle, Kamel S. Saidi
As the applications for 3D imaging systems continue to grow, the need for standards to evaluate these systems has become more critical. The ASTM E57 3D Imaging committee established in 2006 was formed specifically to develop standard terminology, test

Guide to Using Programs to Estimate UV Dosage and Damage

June 3, 2008
Author(s)
Brian Dickens
The system of programs described in this paper is concerned with estimating the damage ensuing from exposure of specimens in dry and humid atmospheres to UV and visible radiation covering the solar range. Damage is monitored quantitatively by changes in IR

Pair Correlation Functions in Mixtures of Lennard-Jones Particles

June 3, 2008
Author(s)
Raymond D. Mountain, Yedhud A. Ben-Naim
The pair correlation functions for a mixture of two Lennard-Jones (LJ) particles were computed by both the Percus-Yevick equations and by molecular dynamics. The changes in the pair correlation function resulting from changes in the composition of the

Policy Specification and Enforcement for Smart ID Cards Deployment

June 3, 2008
Author(s)
Ramaswamy Chandramouli
Deployment of Smart Cards for Identity Verification requires collection of credentials and provisioning of credentials from and to heterogeneous and sometimes legacy systems. To facilitate this process, a centralized identity store called Identity

A New Microdevice for SI-Traceable Forces in Atomic Force Microscopy

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
Gregory W. Vogl, Jason J. Gorman, Gordon A. Shaw, Jon R. Pratt
A new self-excited micro-oscillator is proposed as a velocity standard for dissemination of nanoNewton-level forces that are traceable to the International System of Units (SI). The microfabricated oscillator is top-coated with magnetic thin films and

Accelerating Scientific Discovery through Computation and Visualization III. Tight-binding Wave Functions for Quantum Dots

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
James S. Sims, John G. Hagedorn, Steven G. Satterfield, Terence J. Griffin, William L. George, Howard Hung, John T. Kelso, Thomas M. Olano, Adele P. Peskin, Judith E. Terrill, Garnett W. Bryant, Jose G. Diaz
This is the third in a series of articles that describe, through examples, how the Scientific Applications and Visualization Group (SAVG) at NIST has utilized high performance parallel computing, visualization, and machine learning to accelerate scientific

Automated Combinatorial Test Methods: Beyond Pairwise Testing

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
David R. Kuhn, Raghu N. Kacker, Yu Lei
Pairwise testing has become a popular approach to software quality assurance because it often provides effective error detection at low cost. However, pairwise (2-way) coverage is not sufficient for assurance of mission-critical software. Combinatorial

Electromagnetic Airframe Penetration Measurements for the FAA Bombardier Global 5000

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
Chriss A. Grosvenor, David R. Novotny, Dennis G. Camell, Galen H. Koepke, Robert Johnk
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has recently completed shielding effectiveness/penetration studies on three different aircraft types for the Federal Aviation Administration. The studies are used to understand the cavity coupling

Fabry-Perot temperature dependence and surface-mounted optical cavities

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
Richard W. Fox
Factors that contribute to the resonance temperature dependence of low-expansion optical cavities are discussed, including deformation at the cavity ends due to different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of the spacer, optically-contacted mirror

High-Voltage Isolated Gate Drive Circuit for 10 kV, 100 A SiC MOSFET/JBS Power Modules

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
David W. Berning, Tam H. Duong, Jose M. Ortiz, Angel Rivera, Allen R. Hefner Jr.
A high-current, high-voltage-isolated gate drive circuit developed for characterization of high-voltage, high-frequency 10 kV, 100 A SiC MOSFET/JBS half-bridge power modules is presented and described. Gate driver characterization and simulation have shown

Multiscale Green's function for deflection of graphene lattice

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
B. Yang, Vinod Tewary
Fundamental deflection behavior of an infinite two-dimensional graphene lattice subjected to a transverse point force has been analyzed using lattice statics and the continuum Green's functions. An analytic expression has been derived for the lattice

Prototype Cantilevers for AFM Lateral Force Measurement

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
Richard S. Gates, Mark Reitsma
One of the major difficulties in calibrating the lateral forces measured with optical lever Atomic Force Microscopy is in determining the lateral optical lever sensitivity. Novel cantilevers have been designed and fabricated to simplify this measurement
