Measurements of the Photolytic Breakdown of Decabromodiphenyl Ether in Plastics

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Marc R. Nyden, Rick D. Davis, Christopher C. White, H M. Stapleton, Nathan G. Dodder
In this talk, we report the product distributions and decomposition rates of DecaBDE when it is incapsulated in a common plastic, high impact polystyrene, and irradiated under controlled conditions using a calibrated source. The objective is to gain

Measuring the Affordability of Residential Building Innovations

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
C J. Leng
Innovations in residential construction have faced many barriers to adoption. One critical barrier is the absence of metrics that allow homeowners, home builders, and homebuyers to compare the cost effectiveness of adopting these new technologies in owner

Microgravity Superagglomerates Produced by Silane and Acetylene

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Matthew Bundy, George Mulholland, Samuel Manzello, Jiann C. Yang, J H. Scott
A study of acetylene and silane diffusion flames was performed in normal gravity (1-g) and microgravity ([mu]-g) to determine the evolution of soot and silica agglomerates. The objective of this study was to understand the process of gas phase

Mini-Matt Flammability and Its Relation to Full-Scale Mattress Flammability

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Thomas J. Ohlemiller, Roy A. McLane
Mini-mattresses of a size used for commercial display, were subjected to a pair of NIST-developed gas burners and the resulting heat release behavior was recorded. Peak heat release rate and time to peak for five sample designs were compared to the full

Modeling Building Access Control with BACnet

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Stephen J. Treado, S Cook, Banty Jain, Michael Galler
This report describes a typical implementation of a building access control system integrated with other portions of a building automation system, using some of the newly developed features of BACnet. This functionality has been implemented in the NIST

Modeling, Measurement, and Standards for Wafer Inspection

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
George Mulholland, Thomas A. Germer, J C. Stover
The major technical issues regarding the calibration of Surface Scanning Inspection Systems (SSIS) are presented including descriptions of the salient features of SSISs and the deposition system using the differential mobility analyzer. The role of the

Moment Method for Obtaining Particle Size Measures of Test Smokes

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Thomas Cleary, D W. Weinert, George Mulholland
The number concentration, ionization chamber output, and mass concentration were recorded continuously for five different test smokes generated in the fire emulator/detector evaluator. The number and the mass concentrations are direct measures of the
