Development of 100 Gb/s network infrastructure, even though nascent, is gathering momentum as a result of the progress made in the 100 Gb/s Ethernet and Optical Transport Network (OTN) standardization efforts. A 100 Gb/s test bed proposed by ESNet is expected to facilitate rapid data transfer between geographically dispersed clouds allowing scientists to use available computing resources regardles ...

Network operators are facing sustained bandwidth demands from users and applications in the scientific computing and commercial communities. Hence many are actively migrating to faster 40/100 Gb/s technologies to support large scale transfers. Here the provision of advanced network testing/monitoring capabilities is vital for rapid and effective deployment of these new technologies. However, curr ...

The convergence of operational technology and information technology systems has left many critical infrastructure deployments vulnerable to cyber attack. Defensive guidelines from organizations such as the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology call for the implementation of device authentication. However, there are no technologies currently available to provide device authentication ...

NIST's seeks a high resolution DIC technology for qualification of complex AM parts. To meet this critical need, X-wave Innovations Inc. proposes to develop a 3-Dimentional Digital Image Correlation (3-D DIC) based NDT system. The proposed effort builds upon the success of XII in developing a variety of NDT technologies (including DIC system) for advanced materials evaluation. The success of the p ...

Asymmetric ultracapacitors achieve greater energy density versus today

Asymmetric ultracapacitors achieve greater energy density versus today¿s Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) by utilizing one activated carbon EDLC electrode and one insertion (battery-like) electrode. Asymmetric ultracapacitors based on non-aqueous electrolytes provide improvements in energy density but they provide no improvement in cost, safety or in environmental impact. Alternatively, aq ...

Developing a T-EBC coating capable of providing extended performance of sic CMCs in high temperature, water vapor gas turbine engine environments at 3100oF coupled with the need to resist degradation from external sand/ salt ingestion is a daunting challenge. Of all the numerous studies by NASA, universities, private sector companies and other Federal laboratories, rare earth zirconia and hafnia c ...

In response to the increasing demand for better understanding of the manufacturing processes and the machining systems, a new testing standard--ASME B5.54 and a family of new testing instruments have been developed for evaluating the performances of a variety of CNC machining centers. Because of the advancement and versatility of the new instruments, test data are being collected at a much higher ...

We propose to develop an innovative, compact ultrafast high brightness laser source, broadly tunable in the infrared for vibrationally-resolved infrared microscopy and other applications. By passive Kerr lens mode-locking of a novel diode-pumped tunable Cr:LiSAF laser, 100fs pulses will be generated at 100 MHZ repetition rate with an average power of 1W. An optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pump ...

IT HAS LONG BEEN ESTABLISHED THEORETICALLY AND EXPERIMENTALLY THAT PERFORMANCE OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC (EM) FLOWMETER DOES NOT, IN PRINCIPLE, DEPEND ON ANY CONSTITUTIVE PROPERTY OF THE METERED MATERIAL. IT THEREFORE HOLDS PROMISE OF METERING ANY MATERIAL THAT CAN BE BLOWN, PUMPED, OR EXTRUDED THROUGH A PIPE. TO DATE, THE PRINCIPAL PRACTICAL PROBLEM WITH THE EM FLOWMETER INVOLVES THE TRADEOFF THAT M ...
