Excerpt from Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory: Technical Publication Announcements Covering Laboratory Programs, April to June 1996, With 1997-1998 Eeel Events Calendar Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory: eeel programs provide national reference standards, measurement methods, supporting theory and data, and traceability to national standards. The metrological products of these programs aid economic growth by promoting equity and efficiency in the marketplace, by removing metrological barriers to improved productivity and innovation, by increasing u.s. Competitiveness in international markets through facilitation of compliance with international agreements, and by providing technical bases for the development of voluntary standards for domestic and international trade. These metrological products also aid in the development of rational regulatory policy and promote efficient functioning of technical programs of the Government. The work of the Laboratory is conducted by five technical research Divisions: the Semiconductor Electronics and the Electricity Divisions in Gaithersburg, Md., and the Electromagnetic Fields, Electromagnetic Technology Divisions, and the newly formed Optoelectronic's Division in Boulder, Colo. The Office of Law Enforcement Standards conducts research and provides technical services to the u.s. Department of Justice and State and local governments, and other agencies in support of law enforcement activities. In addition, the Office of Microelectronics Programs (omp) coordinates the growing number of semiconductor-related research activities at nist. Reports of work funded through the omp are included under the heading Semiconductor Microelectronics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
