Advanced Temperature-Control Chamber for Resistance Standards

April 10, 2020
Author(s)
Shamith Payagala, Alireza Panna, Albert Rigosi, Dean G. Jarrett
Calibration services for resistance metrology have continued to advance their capabilities and establish new and improved methods for maintaining standard resistors. Despite the high quality of these methods, there still exist inherent limitations to the

Workshop on Smart Grid Interoperability Testing and Certification

January 31, 2020
Author(s)
Cuong T. Nguyen, Avi M. Gopstein
New smart grid architectures, devices, systems, and applications require extensive data exchange, necessitating well-defined interfaces to transfer and translate this data across the grid. Clarifying the protocols and data performance requirements across

ENTHALPY OF FORMATION OF AQUEOUS HYDROFLUORIC ACID: REVISION NEEDED?

November 7, 2019
Author(s)
Yauheni Paulechka, Andrei F. Kazakov
Accurate enthalpies of formation of hydrofluoric acid in the gas and liquid states as well as in aqueous solutions are critical for reduction and interpretation of combustion calorimetry data for fluorinated compounds. Analysis of current recommendations

Optical-Fiber Power Meter Comparison between NIST and LAMETRO

November 1, 2019
Author(s)
Johnny Jimenez, Maria Ugalde, John H. Lehman, Igor Vayshenker
We describe the results of a comparison of reference standards between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST-USA) and Laboratorio de Metrologia, Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (LAMETRO-ICE, COSTA RICA) for optical fiber-based

Degradation of sunglasses filters after long-term irradiation within solar simulator

September 18, 2019
Author(s)
Deborah Jacobs, Mauro Masili, Fernanda O. Duarte, Liliane Ventura, Christopher C. White
In our previous investigations on sunglasses standards, limits and requirements have been suggested for ocular safety. In this paper we evaluate the degradation of the lenses (category and ultraviolet protection) as sunglasses are exposed to solar

The Molybdenum K-shell X-ray Emission Spectrum

September 18, 2019
Author(s)
Marcus H. Mendenhall, Lawrence T. Hudson, Csilla I. Szabo-Foster, Albert Henins, James P. Cline
Abstract We present newly measured spectra of the X-ray emission of a molybdenum metal anode subject to electron bombardment, using a very high dispersion silicon double-crystal spectrometer. The measurement includes the dipole-allowed KL, KM, and KN

Comparison of Multiple Methods for Obtaining PO Resistances with Low Uncertainties

September 3, 2019
Author(s)
Kwang Min Yu, Dean G. Jarrett, Albert Rigosi, Shamith Payagala, Marlin E. Kraft
Capabilities for high resistance determinations are essential for calibration of currents below 1 pA, as typically requested in several applications, including semiconductor device characterization, single electron transport, and ion beam technologies

A Standardized Representation of Convolutional Neural Networks for Reliable Deployment of Machine Learning Models in the Manufacturing Industry

August 18, 2019
Author(s)
Max K. Ferguson, Seongwoon Jeong, Kincho H. Law, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Svetlana Levitan, Jena Tridivesh, Yung-Tsun Lee
The use of deep convolutional neural networks is becoming increasingly popular in the engineering and manufacturing sectors. However, managing the distribution of trained models is still a difficult task, partially due to the limitations of standardized

Ampoules for Radioactivity Standard Reference Materials

August 6, 2019
Author(s)
Ronald Colle
Standard-sized ampoules for radioactive solution standards have been employed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for nearly the past 70 years. This note briefly summarizes the origins and history of the five different batches of

On-Machine Measurement Use Cases and Information for Machining Operations

August 2, 2019
Author(s)
John A. Horst, Thomas D. Hedberg, Allison Barnard Feeney
Digital thread standards for both dimensional metrology and industrial machine tool operations have been defined in standards organizations and successfully implemented in several commercial manufacturing production operations. A next step is to define a

1 GHz Waveform Synthesis with Josephson Arrays

July 31, 2019
Author(s)
Christine A. Donnelly, Justus A. Brevik, Nathan E. Flowers-Jacobs, Peter F. Hopkins, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
For the first time, we synthesize single- and multiple-tone waveforms at gigahertz frequencies from arrays of Josephson junctions and demonstrate quantum-locked operation over a range of experimental input parameters. We first use a lumped-element circuit
