Microwave Calorimeters for Traceable Power Measurements
NIST uses microwave calorimeters to characterize power sensors, thereby measuring microwave power in a way that is traceable to the basic definitions of the SI units. Microcalorimeters measure microwave power that is dissipated as heat in a sensor. However, some of the microwave power is absorbed in the waveguide walls preceding the sensor.
Brass Instrument Sanitation Device
Present times have recently caused a challenge for brass players, who empty their accumulation of potentially infectious spit on the ground. This invention provides an easy, inexpensive, effective way to safely capture and disinfect the spit while allowing musicians to continue playing.
Robotic Mission Energy Research
This research conducted during summer 2020 was published in a review article discussing next-gen robots. It involves over 200 hours of reviewing research articles, deriving equations and analyzing how to maximize the energy efficiencies of next-generation robotic missions.
