Matt Ater
Assistive Technology Specialist, Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind.

Monday, April 21, 1997, 9:30AM, - Saturday, December 30, 1899 Lecture Room B, Administration Building.

Great strides have been made during the last few decades in technology that allows visually-impaired and blind people to perform demanding tasks that would have been difficult or impossible for them a couple of generations ago. Most NIST employees are aware of the talking calculators in use at the NIST Blind Stands, but those simple devices are only the tip of the iceberg. Matt Ater from the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind will tell us about special technology available today and how it can affect NIST's hiring and assigning of employees who have restricted or no sight. We have an obligation to make reasonable accommodation for employees with disabilities, such as purchasing special equipment they need to do their jobs. Mr. Ater will have some

MODELING TECHNOLOGY TRANSITIONS

Robert Zurcher
Associate Director for Requirements Analysis, Office of Naval Research. Washington, DC

Monday, March 22, 1999, 2:00PM, Lecture Rm. D, Administration Bldg.

It is incumbent upon research organizations to be able to describe the benefits of their investments in S&T. Describing the output of a government science and technology organization can be extremely challenging. There are a multitude of factors that tend to complicate the description of future transitions, not the least of which are the inherent risks of science and technology development. The Graphical Modeling System (GMS) is an automated system for generating technology roadmaps. GMS depicts the basic S&T elements (requirements, science/technology projects) along with their relationships. The benefit of this approach is that since the same S&T elements are used by many models, these elements can be quickly called up to create new models while retaining all of their previous relationships--it becomes extremely efficient to construct a single roadmap showing the possibilities to customers and encouraging dialogue for future directed S&T programs. Besides efficient construction of models, the system shows the alignment of S&T programs to requirements, the insertion of future S&T results to customers (transitions), and the integration of S&T programs within the organization and to external S&T programs.

Robert Zurcher is the Associate Director for Requirements Analysis at the Office of Naval Research. Over the past 10 years, he has explored several methods of graphically depicting the evolution of science and technology as a means of promoting technology transfer.

COATING-ENABLED COMPONENT DESIGN: TECHNOLOGY TOOLS FOR NANO-STRUCTURED COATINGS

Mahmoud Taher
Sr. R&D Engineer, Caterpiller Inc.. Peoria, IL

Clark Cooper
United Technologies Research Center East Hartford, CT

Hyung Yoon, Dong Fei and Tom Beveridge, Caterpillar Inc.; Blaine Johs, The J.A. Woollam Company, Lincoln, NE; Chris Klepper, HY-Tech Research Inc., Radford, VA

Monday, December 8, 2003, 9:00AM, - Monday, December 8, 2003 Lecture Rm. E, Administration Bldg.

Nano-structured coatings have been generally applied as add-on solutions to increase the durability of critical machine components. Although these coatings have demonstrated significant benefits in protecting tribological systems, their full potential has not been realized yet since components are not designed with coatings in mind.

To enable a design-by-coatings approach a deeper understanding of the critical coating characteristics and failure mechanisms is required. Additionally, the integration of the coating into the machine component design creates a prime-reliance on the coating, which necessitates higher levels of coating consistency.

These series of presentations will provide an update of the work completed during the last three years of this NIST ATP-funded project. The presentations will cover the new technology tools under development to characterize nano-structured coatings, predict their life, and to robustly control the reactive sputtering process used to manufacture these coatings.

TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES IN PHOTONIC TECHNOLOGIES: SOLID STATE LIGHTING AND HEALTHCARE

Grady S White
Project Manager, NIST ATP.

Friday, July 22, 2005, 10:30AM, - Friday, July 22, 2005 Rm. A324, 101 Bldg.

During the era of rampant growth, before the “.com” bust, the photonics industry was concentrated in the communications and computing industries. However, as a result of the restructuring since the turndown in the technology sector, the photonics industry has emerged with a much more diffuse character, making important contributions in a wide range of applications. This presentation presents an overview of two of these applications, solid state lighting (SSL) and healthcare, and will address the following points: what are the current and expected future impacts of photonics in these areas; what barriers need to be overcome for these impacts to be realized; what opportunities exist for the ATP and the NIST laboratories in these emerging applications?

VALUE BASE ELECTRICITY PRICING, (NOW THAT YOU HAVE INVENTED A BETTER MOUSE TRAP, HOW CAN YOU GET PAID FOR THE MICE YOU CATCH?)

Mark Lively
Independent Consultant.

Thursday, October 20, 2005, 11:00AM, Rm. A427, 101 Bldg.

We can design equipment that improves the quality of the electricity delivered by independent power producers or that is experienced by industrial equipment. We often then sell that equipment to the IPPs or to the industrial consumer. But how can we show the value of that equipment? How can we sell the output of that equipment to consumers or directly to the utility?

Mark Lively is an independent consultant specializing in designing financial systems related to electricity and natural gas. For fifteen years he worked as a consultant in the Washington Utility Group of Ernst & Ernst, at least through its merger with Arthur Young. Prior to that, Mr. Lively worked in New York City for American Electric Power Service Corporation, one of the largest electric utilities in the nation. He has a BS in Electrical Engineering from MIT and a MS in Management from MIT's Sloan School. Mr. Lively has testified in utility pricing cases and was a significant factor in preventing the merger of PEPCo with BG&E. He has written numerous articles for Public Utilities Fortnightly and the National Regulatory Research Institute Quarterly Bulletin. He created the Committed Unit Basis (CUB) pricing concept for the Texas Study Group on Cogeneration which became the Texas standard for evaluating long term contracts between electric utilities and independent power producers. More recently, Mr. Lively has been developing a dynamic pricing model that relies on negative feedback to achieve market clearance. His work in this regard led FERC staff to invite him to be the only consultant to participate with thirteen college professors (including Nobel Laureate Vernon Smith) and three corporate vice presidents in the staff February 2005 workshop on pricing reactive power.

The goal is to bring together parties interested in high throughput research methods and to increase technology diffusion to U.S. industry. ATP is currently funding eight Intramural and six Extramural projects that are using or developing combinatorial methods toward a wide range of technical objectives. Project areas include high throughput screening of biocatalysts, catalysts, polymers, and electronic materials. The symposium will consist of presentations by NIST Principal Investigators of Intramural projects and ATP Project Managers of Extramural projects. The symposium highlights can be viewed at the Symposium hyperlink at http://www.atp.nist.gov/www/ccmr/ccmr_off.htm.
