Current ambulance designs are ergonomically inefficient and often times unsafe for practical treatment response to medical emergencies. Thus, the patient compartment of a moving ambulance is a hazardous working environment. As a consequence, emergency medical services (EMS) workers suffer fatalities and injuries that far exceed those of the average work place in the United States. To reduce injury and mortality rates in ambulances, the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate has teamed with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and BMT Designers & Planners in a joint project to produce science-based ambulance patient compartment design standards. This project will develop new crash-safety design standards and improved user-design interface guidance for patient compartments that are safer for EMS personnel and patients, and facilitate improved patient care. The project team has been working with practitioners, EMS workers' organizations, and manufacturers to solicit needs and requirements to address related issues. This paper presents an analysis of practitioners' concerns, needs, and requirements for improved designs elicited through the web-based survey of ambulance design, held by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This paper also introduces the survey, analyzes the survey results, and discusses recommendations for future ambulance patient compartments design.

目前的救护车设计在人体工程学上效率低下,而且对于医疗紧急情况的实际治疗反应往往不安全。因此,移动救护车的病人室是一个危险的工作环境。因此,紧急医疗服务(EMS)工作人员遭受的伤亡远远超过美国普通工作场所的伤亡人数。为了减少救护车的伤害和死亡率,国土安全部科学和技术局与国家标准与技术研究所、国家职业安全与健康研究所以及BMT设计师和规划人员合作开展了一个联合项目,以制定基于科学的救护车病人室设计标准。该项目将制定新的碰撞安全设计标准和改进的病人隔间用户设计界面指南,使急救人员和病人更安全,并促进改善病人护理。项目团队一直在与从业人员、EMS工人组织和制造商合作,征求需求和要求,以解决相关问题。本文分析了从业人员对改进设计的关注、需求和要求,这些问题是通过国家标准与技术研究所举办的基于网络的救护车设计调查得出的。本文还介绍了调查结果,对调查结果进行了分析,并对今后救护车病人室的设计提出了建议。

The SI unit of mass, the kilogram, is the only remaining artifact definition in the seven fundamental units of the SI system. It will be redefined in terms of the Planck constant as soon as certain experimental conditions, based on recommendations of the Consultative Committee for Mass and Related Quantities (CCM) are met. To better reflect reality, the redefinition will likely be accompanied by an increase in the uncertainties that National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) pass on to customers via artifact dissemination, which could have an impact on the reference standards that are used by secondary calibration laboratories if certain weight tolerances are adopted for use. This paper will compare the legal metrology requirements for precision mass calibration laboratories after the kilogram is redefined with the current capabilities based on the international prototype kilogram (IPK) realization of the kilogram.

质量的国际单位制单位,千克,是在国际单位制的七个基本单位中唯一剩下的人工定义。根据质量和相关量咨询委员会(CCM)的建议,一旦满足某些实验条件,它将根据普朗克常数重新定义。为了更好地反映现实,重新定义可能会伴随着国家计量研究所(NMIs)通过工件传播传递给客户的不确定性的增加,如果采用某些重量公差,这可能会对二级校准实验室使用的参考标准产生影响。本文将比较千克重新定义后对精密质量校准实验室的法定计量要求与基于千克的国际原型千克(IPK)实现的现有能力。

We review variable-temperature, transport critical-current (I c) measurements made on commercial superconductors over a range of critical currents from less than 0.1 A to about 1 kA. We have developed and used a number of systems to make these measurements over the last 15 years. Two exemplary variable-temperature systems with coil sample geometries will be described: a probe that is only variable-temperature and a probe that is variable-temperature and variable-strain. The most significant challenge for these measurements is temperature stability, since large amounts of heat can be generated by the flow of high current through the resistive sample fixture. Therefore, a significant portion of this review is focused on the reduction of temperature errors to less than ±0.05 K in such measurements. A key feature of our system is a pre-regulator that converts a flow of liquid helium to gas and heats the gas to a temperature close to the target sample temperature. The pre-regulator is not in close proximity to the sample and it is controlled independently of the sample temperature. This allows us to independently control the total cooling power, and thereby fine tune the sample cooling power at any sample temperature. The same general temperature-control philosophy is used in all of our variable-temperature systems, but the addition of another variable, such as strain, forces compromises in design and results in some differences in operation and protocol. These aspects are analyzed to assess the extent to which the protocols for our systems might be generalized to other systems at other laboratories. Our approach to variable-temperature measurements is also placed in the general context of measurement-system design, and the perceived advantages and disadvantages of design choices are presented. To verify the accuracy of the variable-temperature measurements, we compared critical-current values obtained on a specimen immersed in liquid helium ("liquid" or I c liq) at 5 K to those measured on the same specimen in flowing helium gas ("gas" or I c gas) at the same temperature. These comparisons indicate the temperature control is effective over the superconducting wire length between the voltage taps, and this condition is valid for all types of sample investigated, including Nb-Ti, Nb3Sn, and MgB2 wires. The liquid/gas comparisons are used to study the variable-temperature measurement protocol that was necessary to obtain the "correct" critical current, which was assumed to be the I c liq. We also calibrated the magnetoresistance effect of resistive thermometers for temperatures from 4 K to 35 K and magnetic fields from 0 T to 16 T. This calibration reduces systematic errors in the variable-temperature data, but it does not affect the liquid/gas comparison since the same thermometers are used in both cases.

我们回顾了在小于0.1 a到约1ka的临界电流范围内对商用超导体进行的变温度、输运临界电流(I c)测量。在过去的15年里,我们开发并使用了许多系统来进行这些测量。将描述两种具有线圈样品几何形状的示例性变温系统:仅变温探头和变温变应变探头。这些测量最重要的挑战是温度稳定性,因为大电流流过电阻样品夹具会产生大量的热量。因此,这篇综述的重要部分集中在将温度误差降低到小于±0.05 K的测量上。我们系统的一个关键特征是一个预调节器,它将液态氦转化为气体,并将气体加热到接近目标样品温度的温度。预调节器不靠近样品,它独立于样品温度进行控制。这使我们能够独立控制总冷却功率,从而在任何样品温度下微调样品冷却功率。在我们所有的变温系统中都使用了相同的一般温度控制原理,但是增加了另一个变量,例如应变,迫使在设计上妥协,并导致操作和协议的一些差异。对这些方面进行分析,以评估我们系统的协议在多大程度上可以推广到其他实验室的其他系统。我们的变温测量方法也放在测量系统设计的一般背景下,并提出了设计选择的优点和缺点。为了验证变温测量的准确性,我们比较了浸泡在液氦(“液体”或c液体)中5 K时获得的临界电流值与在相同温度下流动的氦气(“气体”或c气体)中获得的相同样品的临界电流值。这些比较表明,温度控制对电压抽头之间的超导线长度是有效的,并且这种情况适用于所有类型的样品,包括Nb-Ti, Nb3Sn和MgB2导线。液体/气体比较用于研究获得“正确”临界电流所需的变温测量方案,该临界电流假定为液态。我们还校准了温度从4 K到35 K,磁场从0 T到16 T的电阻温度计的磁阻效应。这种校准减少了变温数据中的系统误差。但这并不影响液体/气体的比较,因为在两种情况下使用相同的温度计。

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has organized an international comparison to assess Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) image quantification capabilities in 12 countries. Iodine-131 was chosen as the radionuclide for the comparison because of its wide use around the world, but for logistical reasons solid (133)Ba sources were used as a long-lived surrogate for (131)I. For this study, we designed a set of solid cylindrical sources so that each site could have a set of phantoms (having nominal volumes of 2 mL, 4 mL, 6 mL, and 23 mL) with traceable activity calibrations so that the results could be properly compared. We also developed a technique using two different detection methods for individually calibrating the sources for (133)Ba activity based on a National standard. This methodology allows for the activity calibration of each (133)Ba source with a standard uncertainty on the activity of 1.4 % for the high-level 2-, 4-, and 6-mL sources and 1.7 % for the lower-level 23 mL cylinders. This level of uncertainty allows for these sources to be used for the intended comparison exercise, as well as in other SPECT image quantification studies.

国际原子能机构(IAEA)组织了一次国际比较,以评估 12 个国家的单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)图像量化能力。由于碘-131 在全球的广泛使用,因此被选为此次比对的放射性核素,但由于后勤原因,我们使用了固体 (133)Ba 源作为 (131)I 的长寿命替代物。在这项研究中,我们设计了一套固体圆柱形源,这样每个研究地点都可以拥有一套具有可追溯放射性校准的模型(标称体积分别为 2 mL、4 mL、6 mL 和 23 mL),从而可以对结果进行适当的比较。我们还开发了一种技术,使用两种不同的检测方法,根据国家标准对 (133)Ba 放射性活度源进行单独校准。这种方法可对每个 (133)Ba 源进行放射性校准,高浓度 2、4 和 6 毫升源的放射性标准不确定性为 1.4%,低浓度 23 毫升气瓶的放射性标准不确定性为 1.7%。这一不确定性水平使这些放射源可用于预期的比较工作以及其他 SPECT 图像量化研究。

We propose a method to extend the frequency range of polarization entanglement in periodically poled rubidium-doped potassium titanyl phosphate (Rb:KTP) waveguides. Our calculations predict that output wavelengths from 1130 nm to 1257 nm may be achieved using Rb:KTP by the appropriate selection of a direction of propagation for the waveguide. The fidelity using a poling period of 1 mm is approximately 0.98.

When two six degrees of freedom (6DOF) datasets are registered, a transformation is sought that minimizes the misalignment between the two datasets. Commonly, the measure of misalignment is the sum of the positional and rotational components. This measure has a dimensional mismatch between the positional component (unbounded and having length units) and the rotational component (bounded and dimensionless). The mismatch can be formally corrected by dividing the positional component by some scale factor with units of length. However, the scale factor is set arbitrarily and, depending on its value, more or less importance is associated with the positional component relative to the rotational component. This may result in a poorer registration. In this paper, a new method is introduced that uses the same form of bounded, dimensionless measure of misalignment for both components. Numerical simulations with a wide range of variances of positional and rotational noise show that the transformation obtained by this method is very close to ground truth. Additionally, knowledge of the contribution of noise to the misalignment from individual components enables the formulation of a rational method to handle noise in 6DOF data.

当注册两个六自由度(6DOF)数据集时,寻求一种将两个数据集之间的不对齐最小化的转换。通常,不对准的测量是位置分量和旋转分量的总和。该度量在位置分量(无界且具有长度单位)和旋转分量(有界且无量纲)之间存在尺寸不匹配。通过将位置分量除以以长度为单位的尺度因子,可以对不匹配进行正式修正。然而,比例因子是任意设置的,并且根据其值,相对于旋转分量,位置分量的重要性或多或少是相关的。这可能导致较差的注册。本文介绍了一种新的方法,该方法对两个部件使用相同形式的有界无量纲测量偏差。数值模拟表明,在位置噪声和旋转噪声变化范围较大的情况下,该方法得到的变换非常接近地面真实值。此外,了解噪声对各个分量的不对准的贡献,可以制定合理的方法来处理6DOF数据中的噪声。

Several measurements and calculations were performed to illustrate the differences that can be observed in the determination of exposure rate or ambient dose equivalent rate used for testing radiation detection systems against consensus standards. The large variations observed support our recommendation that better consistency in the test radiation fields can be achieved by specifying the source activity and testing distance instead of the field strength.

Programmers routinely omit run-time safety checks from applications because they assume that these safety checks would degrade performance. The simplest example is the use of arrays or array-like data structures that do not enforce the constraint that indices must be within bounds. This report documents an attempt to measure the performance penalty incurred by two different implementations of bounds-checking in C and C++ using a simple benchmark and a desktop PC with a modern superscalar CPU. The benchmark consisted of a loop that wrote to array elements in sequential order. With this configuration, relative to the best performance observed for any access method in C or C++, mean degradation of only (0.881 ± 0.009) % was measured for a standard bounds-checking access method in C++. This case study showed the need for further work to develop and refine measurement methods and to perform more comparisons of this type. Comparisons across different use cases, configurations, programming languages, and environments are needed to determine under what circumstances (if any) the performance advantage of unchecked access is actually sufficient to outweigh the negative consequences for security and software quality.

程序员通常会在应用程序中省略运行时安全检查,因为他们认为这些安全检查会降低性能。最简单的例子就是使用数组或类似数组的数据结构,而不执行索引必须在边界内的约束。本报告记录了在 C 和 C++ 中使用两种不同的边界检查实现所造成的性能损失,并使用了一个简单的基准和一台配备现代超标量 CPU 的台式 PC。该基准测试包括一个按顺序写入数组元素的循环。在这种配置下,相对于在 C 或 C++ 中观察到的任何访问方法的最佳性能,在 C++ 中测量到的标准边界检验访问方法的平均性能下降率仅为(0.881 ± 0.009)%。这项案例研究表明,有必要进一步开发和完善测量方法,并进行更多此类比较。需要对不同的使用案例、配置、编程语言和环境进行比较,以确定在什么情况下(如果有的话),未检查访问的性能优势实际上足以抵消对安全性和软件质量造成的负面影响。

Identifying sources of ground water pollution, and deblurring nanoscale imagery as well as astronomical galaxy images, are two important applications involving numerical computation of parabolic equations backward in time. Surprisingly, very little is known about backward continuation in nonlinear parabolic equations. In this paper, an iterative procedure originating in spectroscopy in the 1930's, is adapted into a useful tool for solving a wide class of 2D nonlinear backward parabolic equations. In addition, previously unsuspected difficulties are uncovered that may preclude useful backward continuation in parabolic equations deviating too strongly from the linear, autonomous, self adjoint, canonical model. This paper explores backward continuation in selected 2D nonlinear equations, by creating fictitious blurred images obtained by using several sharp images as initial data in these equations, and capturing the corresponding solutions at some positive time T. Successful backward continuation from t=T to t = 0, would recover the original sharp image. Visual recognition provides meaningful evaluation of the degree of success or failure in the reconstructed solutions. Instructive examples are developed, illustrating the unexpected influence of certain types of nonlinearities. Visually and statistically indistinguishable blurred images are presented, with vastly different deblurring results. These examples indicate that how an image is nonlinearly blurred is critical, in addition to the amount of blur. The equations studied represent nonlinear generalizations of Brownian motion, and the blurred images may be interpreted as visually expressing the results of novel stochastic processes.

识别地下水污染源和消除纳米尺度图像以及天文星系图像的模糊,是涉及时间倒抛物方程数值计算的两个重要应用。令人惊讶的是,我们对非线性抛物方程的后向延拓知之甚少。本文将20世纪30年代起源于光谱学的迭代法应用于求解一类广义二维非线性后向抛物型方程。此外,以前未预料到的困难被揭示,可能排除有用的向后延拓在抛物线方程偏离太强烈的线性,自治,自伴随,规范模型。本文对选定的二维非线性方程进行了反向延拓的研究,在这些方程中使用若干幅锐化图像作为初始数据,生成虚拟的模糊图像,并在某正时间t处捕获相应的解。从t= t到t= 0的反向延拓成功,将恢复原始锐化图像。视觉识别为重建方案的成功或失败程度提供了有意义的评估。文中还举例说明了某些类型的非线性的意想不到的影响。视觉上和统计上难以区分的模糊图像呈现,具有截然不同的去模糊结果。这些例子表明,一个图像是如何非线性模糊是至关重要的,除了数量的模糊。所研究的方程代表了布朗运动的非线性推广,模糊图像可以被解释为视觉上表达了新的随机过程的结果。

The performance of iris recognition systems is frequently affected by input image quality, which in turn is vulnerable to less-than-optimal conditions due to illuminations, environments, and subject characteristics (e.g., distance, movement, face/body visibility, blinking, etc.). VASIR (Video-based Automatic System for Iris Recognition) is a state-of-the-art NIST-developed iris recognition software platform designed to systematically address these vulnerabilities. We developed VASIR as a research tool that will not only provide a reference (to assess the relative performance of alternative algorithms) for the biometrics community, but will also advance (via this new emerging iris recognition paradigm) NIST's measurement mission. VASIR is designed to accommodate both ideal (e.g., classical still images) and less-than-ideal images (e.g., face-visible videos). VASIR has three primary modules: 1) Image Acquisition 2) Video Processing, and 3) Iris Recognition. Each module consists of several sub-components that have been optimized by use of rigorous orthogonal experiment design and analysis techniques. We evaluated VASIR performance using the MBGC (Multiple Biometric Grand Challenge) NIR (Near-Infrared) face-visible video dataset and the ICE (Iris Challenge Evaluation) 2005 still-based dataset. The results showed that even though VASIR was primarily developed and optimized for the less-constrained video case, it still achieved high verification rates for the traditional still-image case. For this reason, VASIR may be used as an effective baseline for the biometrics community to evaluate their algorithm performance, and thus serves as a valuable research platform.

虹膜识别系统的性能经常受到输入图像质量的影响,而输入图像质量又容易受到光照、环境和主体特征(例如距离、运动、面部/身体可见性、眨眼等)等因素的影响。VASIR(基于视频的虹膜识别自动系统)是nist开发的最先进的虹膜识别软件平台,旨在系统地解决这些漏洞。我们开发VASIR作为一种研究工具,不仅可以为生物识别社区提供参考(评估替代算法的相对性能),而且还可以推进(通过这种新兴的虹膜识别范式)NIST的测量任务。VASIR旨在适应理想(例如,经典的静止图像)和不太理想的图像(例如,脸部可见的视频)。VASIR有三个主要模块:1)图像采集2)视频处理3)虹膜识别。每个模块由几个子组件组成,这些子组件通过严格的正交实验设计和分析技术进行了优化。我们使用MBGC(多重生物识别大挑战)NIR(近红外)人脸可见视频数据集和ICE(虹膜挑战评估)2005静态数据集来评估VASIR的性能。结果表明,尽管VASIR主要针对约束较少的视频情况进行了开发和优化,但对于传统的静止图像情况,它仍然实现了很高的验证率。因此,VASIR可以作为生物识别界评估其算法性能的有效基线,从而作为一个有价值的研究平台。
