    WWVB: a Half Century of Delivering Accurate Frequency and Time by Radio

    Volume 119 (2014) http://dx.doi.org/10.6028/jres.119.004 Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology WWVB: A Half Century of Delivering Accurate Frequency and Time by Radio Michael A. Lombardi and Glenn K. Nelson National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, CO 80305 [email protected] [email protected] In commemoration of its 50th anniversary of broadcasting from Fort Collins, Colorado, this paper provides a history of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) radio station WWVB. The narrative describes the evolution of the station, from its origins as a source of standard frequency, to its current role as the source of time-of-day synchronization for many millions of radio controlled clocks. Key words: broadcasting; frequency; radio; standards; time. Accepted: February 26, 2014 Published: March 12, 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.6028/jres.119.004 1. Introduction NIST radio station WWVB, which today serves as the synchronization source for tens of millions of radio controlled clocks, began operation from its present location near Fort Collins, Colorado at 0 hours, 0 minutes Universal Time on July 5, 1963. Thus, the year 2013 marked the station’s 50th anniversary, a half century of delivering frequency and time signals referenced to the national standard to the United States public. One of the best known and most widely used measurement services provided by the U. S. government, WWVB has spanned and survived numerous technological eras. Based on technology that was already mature and well established when the station began broadcasting in 1963, WWVB later benefitted from the miniaturization of electronics and the advent of the microprocessor, which made low cost radio controlled clocks possible that would work indoors.

The objectives of this research were to examine the effects of solution temperature on measured concentrations of fluorescent tracers as the simulated pesticides and to develop models to correct the deviation of measurements caused by temperature variations. Fluorescent tracers (Brilliant Sulfaflavine (BSF), Eosin, Fluorescein sodium salt) were selected for tests with the solution temperatures ranging from 10.0 ◦C to 45.0 ◦C. The results showed that the measured concentrations of BSF decreased as the solution temperature increased, and the decrement rate was high at the beginning and then slowed down and tended to become constant. In contrast, the concentrations of Eosin decreased slowly at the beginning and then noticeably increased as temperatures increased. On the other hand, the concentrations of Fluorescein sodium salt had little variations with its solution temperature. To ensure the measurement accuracy, correction models were developed using the response surface methodology to numerically correct the measured concentration errors due to variations with the solution temperature.
  • QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Latitude, Longitude and Associated Metadata

    QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Latitude, Longitude and Associated Metadata

    QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Latitude, Longitude and Associated Metadata The Property Profile Form (PPF) requests the property name, address, city, state and zip. From these address fields, ACRES interfaces with Google Maps and extracts the latitude and longitude (lat/long) for the property location. ACRES sets the remaining property geographic information to default values. The data (known collectively as “metadata”) are required by EPA Data Standards. Should an ACRES user need to be update the metadata, the Edit Fields link on the PPF provides the ability to change the information. Before the metadata were populated by ACRES, the data were entered manually. There may still be the need to do so, for example some properties do not have a specific street address (e.g. a rural property located on a state highway) or an ACRES user may have an exact lat/long that is to be used. This Quick Reference Guide covers how to find latitude and longitude, define the metadata, fill out the associated fields in a Property Work Package, and convert latitude and longitude to decimal degree format. This explains how the metadata were determined prior to September 2011 (when the Google Maps interface was added to ACRES). Definitions Below are definitions of the six data elements for latitude and longitude data that are collected in a Property Work Package. The definitions below are based on text from the EPA Data Standard. Latitude: Is the measure of the angular distance on a meridian north or south of the equator. Latitudinal lines run horizontal around the earth in parallel concentric lines from the equator to each of the poles.

    AN 307: Altera Design Flow for Xilinx Users Supersedes Information Published in Previous Versions

    Altera Design Flow for Xilinx Users June 2005, ver. 5.0 Application Note 307 Introduction Designing for Altera® Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) is very similar, both in concept and in practice, to designing for Xilinx PLDs. In most cases, you can simply import your register transfer level (RTL) into Altera’s Quartus® II software and begin compiling your design to the target device. This document will demonstrate the similar flows between the Altera Quartus II software and the Xilinx ISE software. For designs, which the designer has included Xilinx CORE generator modules or instantiated primitives, the bulk of this document guides the designer in design conversion considerations. Who Should Read This Document The first and third sections of this application note are designed for engineers who are familiar with the Xilinx ISE software and are using Altera’s Quartus II software. This first section describes the possible design flows available with the Altera Quartus II software and demonstrates how similar they are to the Xilinx ISE flows. The third section shows you how to convert your ISE constraints into Quartus II constraints. f For more information on setting up your design in the Quartus II software, refer to the Altera Quick Start Guide For Quartus II Software. The second section of this application note is designed for engineers whose design code contains Xilinx CORE generator modules or instantiated primitives. The second section provides comprehensive information on how to migrate a design targeted at a Xilinx device to one that is compatible with an Altera device. If your design contains pure behavioral coding, you can skip the second section entirely.

    Physics 200 Problem Set 7 Solution Quick Overview: Although Relativity Can Be a Little Bewildering, This Problem Set Uses Just A

    Physics 200 Problem Set 7 Solution Quick overview: Although relativity can be a little bewildering, this problem set uses just a few ideas over and over again, namely 1. Coordinates (x; t) in one frame are related to coordinates (x0; t0) in another frame by the Lorentz transformation formulas. 2. Similarly, space and time intervals (¢x; ¢t) in one frame are related to inter- vals (¢x0; ¢t0) in another frame by the same Lorentz transformation formu- las. Note that time dilation and length contraction are just special cases: it is time-dilation if ¢x = 0 and length contraction if ¢t = 0. 3. The spacetime interval (¢s)2 = (c¢t)2 ¡ (¢x)2 between two events is the same in every frame. 4. Energy and momentum are always conserved, and we can make e±cient use of this fact by writing them together in an energy-momentum vector P = (E=c; p) with the property P 2 = m2c2. In particular, if the mass is zero then P 2 = 0. 1. The earth and sun are 8.3 light-minutes apart. Ignore their relative motion for this problem and assume they live in a single inertial frame, the Earth-Sun frame. Events A and B occur at t = 0 on the earth and at 2 minutes on the sun respectively. Find the time di®erence between the events according to an observer moving at u = 0:8c from Earth to Sun. Repeat if observer is moving in the opposite direction at u = 0:8c. Answer: According to the formula for a Lorentz transformation, ³ u ´ 1 ¢tobserver = γ ¢tEarth-Sun ¡ ¢xEarth-Sun ; γ = p : c2 1 ¡ (u=c)2 Plugging in the numbers gives (notice that the c implicit in \light-minute" cancels the extra factor of c, which is why it's nice to measure distances in terms of the speed of light) 2 min ¡ 0:8(8:3 min) ¢tobserver = p = ¡7:7 min; 1 ¡ 0:82 which means that according to the observer, event B happened before event A! If we reverse the sign of u then 2 min + 0:8(8:3 min) ¢tobserver 2 = p = 14 min: 1 ¡ 0:82 2.

  • Five Years of VLF Worldwide Comparison of Atomic Frequency Standards

    Five Years of VLF Worldwide Comparison of Atomic Frequency Standards

    RADIO SCIENCE, Vol. 2 (New Series), No. 6, June 1967 Five Years of VLF Worldwide Comparison of Atomic Frequency Standards B. E. Blair,' E. 1. Crow,2 and A. H. Morgan (Received January 19, 1967) The VLF radio broadcasts of GBR(16.0 kHz), NBA(18.0 or 24.0 kHz), and NSS(21.4 kHz) have enabled worldwide comparisons of atomic frequency standards to parts in 1O'O when received over varied paths and at distances up to 9000 or more kilometers. This paper summarizes a statistical analysis of such comparison data from laboratories in England, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia, Japan, Canada, and the United States during the 5-year period 1961-1965. The basic data are dif- ferences in 24-hr average frequencies between the local atomic standard and the received VLF radio signal expressed as parts in 10"'. The analysis of the more recent data finds the receiving laboratory standard deviations, &, and the transmission standard deviation, ?, to be a few parts in 10". Averag- ing frequencies over an increasing number of days has the effect of reducing iUi and ? to some extent. The variation of the & with propagation distance is studied. The VLF-LF long-term mean differences between standards are compared with the recent portable clock tests, and they agree to parts in IO". 1.
