Frequently Asked Questions covering the Steel Import Monitoring system, which includes both the steel import monitoring system and the import monitor

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).

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.

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 report describes the test equipment, process, analysis, and data file formats for the Numisheet 2020 tensile and tension/compression testing of the four materials associated with the Numisheet 2020 conference benchmarks. The four materials include two steel alloys, DP980 for Benchmark 1 and DP1180 for Benchmark 2, and two 6000 series aluminum alloys, AA6xxx-T4 for Benchmark 1 and AA6xxx-T81 for Benchmark 2, that will be referred to here as BM1-DP980, BM2-DP1180, BM1-6xxx-T4, and BM2-6xxx-T81, respectively.

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.

SRM 3235 Soy Milk - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining vitamins, elements, proximates, fatty acids, and amino acids in soy milk and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The SRM is a soy milk prepared by a commercial manufacturer. A unit of SRM 3235 consists of 10 ampoules, each containing approximately 10 mL of material. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

SRM 3239 Isoflavones Calibration Solution - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in calibration of instruments and techniques used for the determination of isoflavones. SRM 3239 consists of two solutions containing isoflavones at levels that reflect the mass fraction ratios found in soy products. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

SRM 3252 Protein Drink Mix - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining proximates, fatty acids, cholesterol, vitamins, elements, and amino acids in protein drink mixes and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

SRM 3262 St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) Aerial Parts - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in validating analytical methods for the determination of chlorogenic acid, flavonoids, naphthodianthrones, and toxic elements in Hypericum perforatum L. and similar materials. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.
