In the manufacturing of high voltage electrical equipment, an important step to guarantee a right dielectric design can be carried out through the prediction of a possible occurrence of the corona effect or, in the worst case, of dielectric breakdown, preferably in early stages. For this ... Read More

Laser surface texturing has emerged as a promising texturing technique due to properties such as excellent repeatability, non-contact process, the ability to achieve small-size features and high-quality finishing. The work described here is part of the H2020 research program called SHARK ... Read More

This study is focused on the optimization of a- YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) based bolometer working above 77 K. The temperature distribution on the superconductor surface and the temperature profile through the whole system (bolometer plus plate with heaters) were studied at the working point ... Read More

Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology is gaining much attention in the food industry, as it offers unique advantages in terms of food safety, preservation of the organoleptic and nutrients properties, and low energetic requirements. Winemaking processes, in particular, can greatly ... Read More

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a less invasive alternative to conventional endoscopy. In WCE, a patient swallows a small capsule equipped with a camera, allowing a video of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) to be captured for diagnostic analysis. To ensure an accurate diagnosis and ...

Abstract High-voltage relays currently used for deep sea applications must be designed for extreme underwater conditions. So, pertinent materials used, and the design procedures adopted are novel, innovative but expensive. Alternatively, the existing high-power electric switches, relays ... Read More

Air core reactors are commonly used as shunt reactors, fault current limiting reactors, tuning reactors in capacitor banks. The absence of the iron-core results in a simple and lightweight construction. Consequently, the magnetic field of an air-core reactor is not guided within a ... Read More

This paper presents the study of the simulation of mixed-mode S-parameter using COMSOL Multiphysics® RF Module. In addition, a COMSOL® application is also developed for the study of electrical connectors. We are interested in modeling electrical connectors used for data transmission ... Read More
