Local calibration studies have been performed with lyophilized plasmas at 155 European laboratories to assess coagulometer effects on manual ISI of ECAA thromboplastins (low ISI human recombinant and high ISI rabbit brain). Common sets of 7 normal and 20 artificially depleted lyophilized plasmas were tested with the thromboplastins in the routine local coagulometers. With the human reagent, mar...

We have completed thefirst tests of a method to synchronize the clocks of networhd computers to the NIST time scale. The method uses a server computer to dkseminate the time to other clients on the same local-ureu network. The server is synchronized to NZST wing the ACTS protocol over a dial-up telephone line. The software in both the server and the clients comtructs a statistical model of the ...

Current CFD calibration work has mainly focused on the CFD model calibration. However no known work has considered the calibration of the CFD results. In this paper, we take inspiration from the image editing problem to develop a methodology to calibrate CFD simulation results based on sparse sensor observations. We formulate the calibration of CFD results as an optimization problem. The cost f...

It is necessary to calibrate SAR data in order to use the data for science applications. When both polarimetric and interferometric data are collected simultaneously, these SAR data can be used for cross-calibration and verification. The frequency of polarimetric and interferometric data does not have to be the same for this purpose. For example, the NASA/JPL AIRSAR system can acquire C-band in...

A robust and accurate calibration method for coordinate transformation between display screens and their images is proposed. The images of three specially designed calibration patterns, which are a white rectangle, a black rectangle, and a dot matrix, are captured and processed sequentially to assist achieving robust extraction of relevant features from the calibration pattern images, especiall...
