This is the source code package for the labbench python module, version 0.20, which is its first public release. The purpose of labbench is to streamline and organize complicated laboratory automation tasks that involve large-scale benchtop automation, concurrency, and/or data management. It is built around a system of wrappers that facilitate robust, concise exception handling, type checking, API conventions, and synchronized device connection through python context blocks.

Traditionally, soft body armor has been made from materials such as poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) and ultra-high molar mass polyethylene (UHMMPE). However, to diversify the fiber choices in the United States body armor market, copolymer fibers based on the combination of 5-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl) benzimidazole (PBIA) and PPTA were introduced. Little is known regarding the long-term stability of PBIA fibers, but as condensation polymers, they have potential sensitivity to moisture and humidity.

The RF dataset can be used to develop and test detection algorithms for the 3.5 GHz CBRS or similar bands where the primary users of the band are federal incumbent radar systems. The dataset consists of synthetically generated radar waveforms with added white Gaussian noise. The RF dataset is suitable for development and testing of machine/deep learning detection algorithms. A large number of parameters of the waveforms are randomized across the dataset. Due to its large size, the dataset is divided into groups, and each group consists of multiple files.

Four files are included in this data set for mask generation that can be used to produce photolithography contact masks to create NIST nanocalorimeters. Two different designs are included, each in AutoCAD *.dwg format and a universal *.dxf format. The masks are intended to be printed on 5 inch masks blanks used to pattern 100 mm (4 inch) wafers.

3D Solid Model of NIST Nanocalorimeter created in Solidworks 2019. The files include an assembly of three layers represented as part files - the silicon die layer, the silicon nitride membrane layer and the platinum metal layer.

A bilateral study to compare guarded-hot-plate measurements at extended temperatures between laboratories at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is presented. Measurements were conducted in accordance with standardized test methods (ISO 8302 or ASTM C177) over a temperature range from 20 °C to 160 °C (293 K to 433 K). Following a blind round-robin format, specimens of non-woven fibrous glass mat, approximately 22 mm thick and having a nominal bulk density of 200 kg/m3, were prepared and studied.
