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).

These four data files contain datasets from an interlaboratory comparison that characterized a polydisperse five-population bead dispersion in water. A more detailed version of this description is available in the ReadMe file (PdP-ILC_datasets_ReadMe_v1.txt), which also includes definitions of abbreviations used in the data files. Paired samples were evaluated, so the datasets are organized as pairs associated with a randomly assigned laboratory number.

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.

Thermal conductivity data acquired previously for the establishment of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1450, Fibrous Glass Board, as well as subsequent renewals 1450a, 1450b, 1450c, and 1450d, are re-analyzed collectively and as individual data sets. Additional data sets for proto-1450 material lots are also included in the analysis (eleven data sets in total).

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 1450e Fibrous Glass Board - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in the measurement of the thermal conductivity or thermal resistance of insulation materials. SRM 1450e is a high-density fibrous glass board certified for bulk density and thermal conductivity. The SRM can be used in conjunction with ASTM C177 or ASTM C518. A unit of SRM 1450e consists of a square panel of fibrous glass and phenolic binder molded into a semi-rigid board.

This is a file containing aggregation data for two proteins that were thermomechanically aggregated. The aggregated proteins were separated by asymmetric flow field flow fractionation and separated protein fractions were detected and quantified by UV spectrophotometry and multi-angle light scattering. The UV spectrophotometry was used to quantify the amount of residual monomer, which is reported herein. The multi-angle light scattering was fitted to a relevant model to calculate the molecular weight of the aggregated protein, also reported herein.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of tungsten. A unit of SRM 3163 consists of 50 mL of an acidified aqueous solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of tungsten in a high-density polyethylene bottle sealed in an aluminized bag.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of iodide. A unit of SRM 3180 consists of five 5 mL, sealed, amber, borosilicate glass ampoules of solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of iodide. The matrix of the solution is water containing sodium sulfite at a concentration of approximately 0.01 mol/L and sodium hydroxide at a concentration of approximately 0.005 mol/L. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.
