A Comparison Between an A-V and V Formulation in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

B. Granula[1], K. Porzig[2], H. Toepfer[2], M. Gacanovic[1]
[1]University of Banja Luka, Banja Luka, Bosnia-Herzegovina
[2]Technische Universität Ilmenau, Ilmenau, Germany

The prediction of the exact location and intensity of the electric field induced in the human brain during Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a nontrivial computational task. Numerical simulations of the procedure can be used to acquire first approximations in a safe and controlled ... Read More

Development of Magnetic Field Components for the Polarisation Option of the Neutron Spectrometer FOCUS

L. Holitzner[1], U. Filges[1], J.P. Embs[2], T. Fennell[2], T. Panzner[1]
[1]Laboratory for Developments and Methods, Paul Scherrer Institut, Villigen, Switzerland
[3]Laboratory for Neutron Scattering, Paul Scherrer Institut, Villigen, Switzerland

We show a new, favourable space-saving method to host a neutron polarizer in the iron-containing monochromator shielding of a time-of-flight spectrometer for cold neutrons. In this poster you can learn e.g., how to create a robust, homogeneous, rectangular magnetic field (here realized ... Read More

Detector and Calibration-source Models for the SAFARI Detector Test Facility

M. Audley[1], G. de Lange[1], C. Bracken[2]
[1]SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, Groningen, The Netherlands
[2]National University of Ireland, Maynooth, Ireland

SAFARI is a far-infrared imaging spectrometer for the Japanese satellite observatory SPICA. SAFARI covers the wavelength range 34—210 μm (1.4—8.8 THz) using Transition-Edge-Sensor (TES) bolometers. We have built a test facility to qualify and characterize the SAFARI focal plane units ... Read More

Shielding Cylinder Effect in High-Speed Electric Machines

B. Hannon[1], P. Sergeant[1]
[1]Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium

In the field of electric machines, a trend towards both higher efficiency and higher power density is observed. This has led to a growing importance of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines. However, the magnets used in these machines risk demagnetization at high temperatures. Especially ... Read More

2D Eddy Current Analysis in Plane of Laminated Ferromagnetic Media

B. Scheerlinck[1], P. Sergeant[1]
[1]University College Ghent, Gent, Belgium

Laminated media are intended to conduct the magnetic flux in the plane (high resistance to limit the eddy currents). When fringing flux falls in perpendicularly to the plane, the surface for the eddy currents is no longer small. This will cause eddy current losses, which will reduce the ... Read More

Simulation of Light Coupling Reciprocity for a Photonic Grating

V. Kivijärvi[1], M. Erdmanis[1], I. Tittonen[1]
[1]Aalto University, Department of Micro- and Nanosciences, Espoo, Finland

SOI (Silicon on Insulator) technology utilizes silicon components on SiO2 layer. Propagating electric field distribution in a SOI waveguide is called mode of the waveguide. Photonic gratings are formed by etching grooves on the top of a waveguide. Gratings can operate in two directions. ... Read More

3D Power Inductor: Calculation of Iron Core Losses

L. Havez[1], E. Sarraute[1]
[1]LAPLACE, Toulouse, France

The work proposed in this paper deals with the consideration of 3D geometric effects to evaluate the iron losses in magnetic devices used in power electronics. To carry out this work, we rely upon two existing models of iron losses per unit volume calculation ("Steinmetz") currently ... Read More

Modeling Ferrofluid Flow in an Annular Gap Moving with Reciprocating Shaft

Y. He[1], R. Nilssen[1]
[1]Department of Electric Power Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway

Ferrofluids have been successfully used in the seals for rotary shafts, but few studies focus on the reciprocating motion seals. Since the completely different operational regimes, previous experiences on the rotary motions could not be directly applied on the cases for reciprocating ... Read More

Looking for the Origin of Power Laws in Electric Field Assisted Tunneling

H. Cabrera[1], D.A. Zanin[1], L.G. De Pietro[1], A. Vindigni[1], U. Ramsperger[1], D. Pescia[1]
[1]Laboratory for Solid State Physics, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

A sharp tip approached perpendicular to a conducting surface at subnanometer distances and biased with a small voltage builds a junction across which electrons can be transferred from the tip apex to the nearest surface atom by direct quantum mechanical tunneling. Such a junction is used ... Read More

Magnetic Levitation System for Take-off and Landing Airplane – Project GABRIEL

K. Falkowski[1], K. Sibilski[1]
[1]Wroclaw University of Technology, Wrocław, Poland

In the paper will be presented the construction of passive magnetic suspension with superconductors. The system of magnetic suspension was designed for GBRIEL project. There is presented numerical test bench of passive magnetic suspension with superconductor. This kind of suspension was ... Read More
