Registration and Details: HERECan’t make it? We still want to hear from you – email us at IoTSecurity [at] nist.gov (IoTSecurity[at]nist[dot]gov).All Aboard for Product CybersecurityThe NIST Cybersecurity for Internet of Things (IoT) Program was established to help real-world practitioners navigate the gray areas between IT and connected products. This provides clarity when it comes to challenges, available existing resources, and understanding where we can provide further guidelines (to help fill in the gaps). Our IoT Program…
Manufacturing is the backbone of the U.S. economy. From the cars we drive to the electronics we use daily, almost everything we rely on is made in factories across the country. The connected nature of manufacturing creates jobs, supports local economies, and strengthens the nation’s security, helping the U.S. remain a leader in innovation and economic dominance. The Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) plays a key role in ensuring that small and medium-sized manufacturers are a driving force in America’s economic growth. Big impact on the U.S. economyManufacturing plays a huge role in the U.S. economy. In the third quarter of…
Credit: Crissy Robinson The NIST Spectroradiometry Short Course is a 4-day course held at NIST Gaithersburg, Maryland. It consists of 15 lectures given by NIST scientists and 3 hands-on laboratory experiences. Topics covered include the concepts behind radiometry, the performance and selection criteria for sources and detectors, the determination of uncertainties, the traceability of NIST’s calibrations, and the cutting-edge uses of hyperspectral imaging. In the laboratory classes, attendees calibrate an array spectroradiometer, find the spectral power responsivity of a filter radiometer, and transfer spectral irradiance to radiance using a plaque. Participants also have the opportunity to discuss their own calibrations…
