The Forthcoming IEEE Standard 1696 on Test Methods for Characterizing Circuit Probes
The Technical Committee 10 (TC10) of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society initiated a new standards activity in 2006 for the development of test methods to characterize the performance of circuit probes. This standard contains a set of
Currently, there is no agreed on methodology for development of ontologies, and there is no consensus on how ontologies should be evaluated. Consequently, evaluation techniques and tools are not widely utilized in the development of ontologies. This can
ITL Publishes Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Agencies
This ITL Bulletin for May 2013 announces the publication of NIST Special Publication 800-53, Revision 4, Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations. Developed by the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative

NIST Handbook 150-11, NVLAP Electromagnetic Compatibility and Telecommunications
NIST Handbook 150-11, NVLAP Electromagnetic Compatibility and Telecommunications, presents the technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the NVLAP Electromagnetic Compatibility and Telecommunications (ECT) LAP. It is
The Biological Evidence Preservation Handbook: Best Practices for Evidence Handlers
The report of the Technical Working Group on Biological Evidence Preservation offers guidance for individuals involved in the collection, examination, tracking, packaging, storing, and disposition of biological evidence. This may include crime scene
Cooperative Diversity Routing and Transmission for Wireless Sensor Networks
In this paper, we present a novel design framework aimed at developing cooperative diversity in 802.11-based wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme is a combination of a time-reversed Space-Time Block Code (TR STBC) scheme at the physical layer
Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) Version 1.2 Validation Program Test Requirements
This ITL Bulletin describes a new ITL publication, NISTIR 7511, Revision 3, Ssecurity Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) Version 1.2 Validation Program Test Requirements.
We propose a novel dictionary-based learning method for ambiguously labeled multiclass classification, where each training sample has multiple labels and only one of them is the correct label. The dictionary learning problem is solved using an iterative
Logic Minimization Techniques with Applications to Cryptology
A new technique for combinational logic optimization is described. The technique is a two-step process. In the rst step, the non-linearity of a circuit as measured by the number of non-linear gates it contains is reduced. The second step reduces the number
SCATTERFIELD MICROSCOPY, REVIEW OF TECHNIQUES THAT PUSH THE FUNDAMENTAL LIMITS OF OPTICAL DEFECT METROLOGY
The semiconductor manufacturing industry is now facing serious challenges in achieving defect detection rates with acceptable throughput and accuracy. With conventional bright-field and dark- field inspection methods now at their limits, it has become
Combinatorial Coverage Measurement Concepts and Applications
Empirical data demonstrate the value of t-way coverage, but in some testing situations, it is not practical to use covering arrays. However any set of tests covers at least some proportion of t-way combinations. This paper describes a variety of measures
NIST to Develop a Cybersecurity Framework to Protect Critical Infrastructure
This ITL Bulletin describes the Cybersecurity Framework that NIST is developing to reduce cyber risks to our nation's critical infrastructure and announces the first Cybersecurity Framework Workshop.
