Video Transmission for 3G Mobile Communication Systems

June 1, 2002
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi, K Ban
This paper presents the design and implementation of a mobile ad-hoc network for video communications. The network architecture is based on cluster-to-cluster operation using IEEE 802.11b FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum). FHSS is considered to

Whisker Formation on Electroplated Sn-Cu

June 1, 2002
Author(s)
Maureen E. Williams, C E. Johnson, Kil-Won Moon, Gery R. Stafford, C A. Handwerker, William J. Boettinger
The probability of whisker growth on as-deposited tin (Sn) electrodeposits has been measured as a function of copper (Cu superscript2+) addition to a commercial bright methanesulfonate electrolyte. Two substrate materials were used: free standing 250 um

Control Strategies for APACTS Micro-Macro-Manipulator Integration

May 31, 2002
Author(s)
Richard J. Norcross
The Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center is developing the Automated Paint Application, Containment, and Treatment System (APACTS). APACTS will apply anti-corrosive and anti-fouling paints to ship hulls in an environmentally sound manner

Improved 1 kHz Capacitance Calibration Uncertainty

May 30, 2002
Author(s)
Anne-Marie Jeffery, Andrew D. Koffman
Uncertainties for 1 kHz capacitance calibrations have been decreased at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The improvements are based on frequency-dependence characterization from 1592 Hz to 1 kHz. The relevant measurements and the

Kinetic Spanning Trees for Minimum-Power Routing in MANETS

May 30, 2002
Author(s)
Camillo Gentile, R E. Van Dyck
A distributed kinetic spanning tree algorithm is proposed for routing in wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Assuming a piecewise linear motion model for the nodes, the sequence of shortest-path spanning trees is determined, valid until the time of the next

Airflow and Aerosol Transport Modeling in Hart Senate Office Building

May 23, 2002
Author(s)
Steven J. Emmerich, Cynthia H. Reed, Andrew K. Persily
A modeling study of airflow and contaminant transport in the Hart Senate Office Building (HSOB) was performed to obtain insight into the transport of anthrax spores within the building after a short-term release in October 2001. This analysis employed an

NIST's High-Speed Pulse Parameter Measurement Service

May 21, 2002
Author(s)
Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a me surement service, number 65200S, "Fast Repetitive Pulse Transition Parameters," for measuring the impulse response of high-speed (transition durations > 7 ps) samplers and the output

Sensitivity of Display Reflection Measurements to Apparatus Geometry

May 21, 2002
Author(s)
Edward F. Kelley
Reflection measurements made upon electronic displays can suffer from non-reproducibility owing to their possible strong dependence upon apparatus geometry. The geometrical dependence arises from non-Lambertian diffusion properties. We show the

Bounds on Permittivity Calculations using a TE 01d Dielectric Resonator

May 20, 2002
Author(s)
Jerzy Krupka, Kristof Derzakowski, Billy F. Riddle, James R. Baker-Jarvis, Robert N. Clarke, A. Abramowicz, O. C. Rochard
The use of both mode-matching and Rayleigh-Ritz numerical techniques for complex permittivity calculations using a TE 01δ mode dielectric resonator allows the determination of lower and upper bounds of the permittivity. The maximum difference of the

Calibration of Broadband RF Field Probes Using a Coaxial Transmission Line

May 20, 2002
Author(s)
Claude Weil, David R. Novotny, Robert T. Johnk, Arthur Ondrejka
We discuss a new broadband (10MHz to 40 GHz) RF field standard to be used for calibrating electrically-small electromagnetic field probes. The technique generates a well-defined and uniform TEM mode fields between the conductors of an air-filled coaxial

Crossover from First-Order to Critical Wetting in Methanol on Alkanes

May 20, 2002
Author(s)
J O. Indekeu, A I. Posazhennikova, David J. Ross, D Bonn, J Meunier
A mean-field theory is presented which describes the basic observations of recent experiments revealing rich wetting behaviour of n-alkane/methanol mixtures at the liquid-vapour interface. The theory is based on a microscopic lattice-gas model from which a

Fundamentals of Display Metrology

May 19, 2002
Author(s)
Edward F. Kelley
Display metrology is discussed as applied to electronic displays and especially flat panel displays (FPDs). Topics include the importance of proper set up, expected measurement uncertainty vs. repeatability, and problems in making accurate light

Spin polarization of injected electrons

May 17, 2002
Author(s)
W F. Egelhoff, M D. Stiles, David P. Pappas, D T. Pierce, J M. Byers, M B. Johnson, B T. Jonker, Jose E. Alvarellos, J G. Gregg, J A. Bland, R Buhrman

Spin Polarization of Injected Electrons

Author(s)
William F. Egelhoff Jr., Mark D. Stiles, David P. Pappas, S Alvarado, J Gregg, J Bland, R A. Buhrman, Daniel T. Pierce, J Byers, M Johnson, B Jonker
A recent paper in Science made the claim of 92% polarization for the injection spin polarized electrons from a Ni scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) tip into GaAs(110). Actually they state their result as 92% efficiency for the injection of 100%

Anomalous Switching Behavior of Antiparallel-Coupled CO Layers Separated by a Super-Thin Ru Spacer

May 15, 2002

The details of the magnetization reversal mechanisms upon field reversal in coupled ferromagnetic CO (2.5 nm)/Ru(0.5 nm)/Co (2.6 nm) trilayers deposited on obliquely sputtered Ta (10.6 nm) underlayers were studied using the magneto-optical indicator film

Stephen E. Russek, Pavel Kabos, Robert McMichael, C G. Lee, William E. Bailey, R Ewasko, S. Sanders
We present the dependence of the magnetostriction in Ni 0.8Fe 0.2 films on Tb and Gd doping concentration with the measured doping dependence of the high-frequency damping. While the magnetostriction and the high-frequency damping are correlated, the

Non-collinear spin transfer in Co/Cu/Co multilayers

May 15, 2002
Author(s)
Mark D. Stiles, A Zangwill
We report semi-classical calculations of current polarization, spin accumulation, magnetoresistance, and spin transfer torques in Co/Cu/Co multilayers. A 2 x 2 matrix Boltzman equation is used because the Co layer magnetizations are not necessarily

Andrew P. Chen, R A. Fry, Edward Della Torre
Moving version of the Preisach-Arrhenius (PA) model function is used to simulate aftereffect in bimodal Co/Pt multilayers. The Co/Pt multilayers are assumed to have two kinds of magnetic phases, each characterized by its own magnetic properties. The Co/Pt
