The National Institute of Standards and Technology, Intelligent Systems Division has collected data measuring human subjects, while performing common, simulated industrial manufacturing tasks with and without wearing an exoskeleton. Five tests were completed as part of a research study to develop measurement science towards standard test methods. For simulated industrial manufacturing tasks were performed using a novel, now standardized apparatus, called the Position and Load Test Apparatus for Exoskeletons (PoLoTAE).

The absolute laser absorption was measured simultaneously with X-ray imaging during laser melting of Ti-6Al-4V solid metal. The data included here are the time-resolved absolute absorbed power and the Xray images acquired at the same time, along with timing data for synchronization. Also included is information about the experimental configuration including applied laser power, laser beam spatial profile, and the experimental setup. A text document is included that describes all files.

This dataset includes the position data of a two-dimensional gantry system experiment in which the G-code commands for the gantry were transmitted through a wireless communications link. The testbed is composed of four main components related to the operation of the gantry system. These components are the gantry system, the Wi-Fi network, the RF channel emulator, and the supervisory computer. In the experimental study, we run a scenario in which the gantry tool moves sequentially between four positions and has a preset dwell at each of the positions.

These data from the laboratory tests of a prototype residential liquid-to-air ground-source air conditioner (GSAC) using CO2 as the refrigerant. The data collection and processing methods are described in detail in this report:

Materials discovery and development necessarily begins with the preparation and identification of product phase(s). Crystalline compounds can be identified by their characteristic diffraction patterns using X-rays, neutrons, and or electrons. An estimated 20,000 X-ray diffractometers and a comparable number of electron microscopes are used daily in materials research and development laboratories for this purpose.

This tool calculates metrics for investment analysis documented in NIST Advanced manufacturing Series 200-5. It calculates net present value, internal rate of return, and payback period along with executing sensitivity analysis using Monte Carlo techniques. The tool helps to identify the most economical projects/investments. For instance, it could be used to identify the most economical heating and cooling system or it might be used to rank a set of potential investments.

This dataset includes a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (*.xlsx file) provided as supplemental material for the NIST Technical Note (TN-2099) publication titled "Quasi-Static Position Calibration of the Galvanometer Scanner on the Additive Manufacturing Metrology Testbed". The file contains two tabs, titled "Pre-Compensation" and "Post-Compensation", which provides example measurement data and calculations pertaining to the calibration procedures described in the publication.
