Python module "optbayesexpt" uses optimal Bayesian experimental design methods to control measurement settings in order to efficiently determine model parameters. Given a parametric model - analogous to a fitting function - Bayesian inference uses each measurement "data point" to refine model parameters. Using this information, the software suggests measurement settings that are likely to efficiently reduce uncertainties. A TCP socket interface allows the software to be used from experimental control software written in other programming languages.

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.

SEDCORR is an open-source Python module designed to correct for the systematic energy deficits in atom probe mass spectra of electrically insulating samples. The assumption of the algorithm is that the mass spectrum for a dataset is conserved throughout the dataset and that any changes to the peak positions arise from an unknown slowly-fluctuating accelerating voltage. For computational speed, the unknown accelerating voltage is determined using a template matching FFT-based cross correlation method.

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).

SCATMECH is a library of object-oriented C++ computer codes originally developed for disseminating models for polarized light scattering from surfaces and aerosols and for diffraction from gratings. The pySCATMECH package has been developed as an interface to the SCATMECH library, simplifying use of the codes and allowing for more rapid development of software for these applications.

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 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.
