Practical realisation of the kelvin by Johnson noise thermometry

February 15, 2024
Author(s)
Horst Rogalla, D Rod White, Jifeng Qu, Samuel P. Benz, Christof Gaiser, Weston L. Tew, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Kevin J. Coakley, Alessio Polarollo, Chiharu Urano
Johnson noise thermometry (JNT) is a purely electronic method of thermodynamic thermometry. In primary JNT, the temperature is inferred from a comparison of the Johnson noise voltage of a resistor at the unknown temperature with a pseudo-random noise

Emission Ghost Imaging: reconstruction with data augmentation

February 1, 2024
Author(s)
Kevin J. Coakley, Heather H. Chen-Mayer, Bruce D. Ravel, Daniel Josell, Nikolai Klimov, Sarah Robinson, Daniel S. Hussey
Ghost Imaging enables 2D reconstruction of an object even though particles transmitted or emitted by the object of interest are detected with a single pixel detector without spatial resolution. This is possible because the incident beam is spatially

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarker Calibration Service: NMR Measurement of Isotropic Water Diffusion Coefficient

March 30, 2023
Author(s)
Stephen E. Russek, Katy Keenan, Karl Stupic, Nikki Rentz, Michael Boss, Kevin J. Coakley, Amanda Koepke, Cassandra Stoffer
This document describes a calibration service to measure the water diffusion coefficient, or diffusivity, in reference materials and tissue mimics using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. This calibration is restricted to materials which exhibit

Mixture model analysis of Transition Edge Sensor pulse height spectra

December 9, 2021
Author(s)
Kevin J. Coakley, Jolene D. Splett, Thomas Gerrits
To calibrate an optical transition edge sensor, for each pulse of the light source (e.g., pulsed laser), one must determine the ratio of the expected number of photons that deposit energy and the expected number of photons created by the laser. Based on

Measurement of mass of aerosol particles

January 1, 2021
Author(s)
Kevin J. Coakley, Robert Hagwood, Kensei Ehara, Nobuhiko FUKUSHIMA, Kittichote WORACHOTEKAMJORN, Naoko TAJIMA, Hiromu SAKURAI
An aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM) which classifies aerosol particles according to their mass has been developed. Mass distributions of aerosol particles can be measured by the APM combined with a particle counting device. Particle mass that can be

Microwave radiometer instability due to infrequent calibration

April 16, 2020
Author(s)
Kevin J. Coakley, Jolene D. Splett, Dave K. Walker, Mustafa Aksoy, Paul E. Racette
We directly quantify the effect of infrequent calibration on the stability of microwave radiometer temperature measurements (where a power measurement for the unknown source is acquired at a fixed time but calibration data are acquired at variable earlier

Measurement of mass of aerosol particles

October 30, 2019
Author(s)
Kevin J. Coakley, Robert C. Hagwood, Kensei Ehara, Nobuhiko Fukushima, Kittichote Worachotekamjorn, Naoko Tajima, Hiromu Sakurai
An aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM) which classifies aerosol particles according to their mass has been developed. Mass distributions of aerosol particles can be measured by the APM combined with a particle counting device. Particle mass that can be
