The electromagnetic pumping (EMP) of electrically-conducting fluid is of growing interest for many industrial applications requiring precise flow control, enabling stopping or reversing flow direction without any moving parts or mechanical devices. Presented in this work are the results ... Read More
In this paper an electromagnetic solenoid actuator (EMVA) consisting of an upper and lower electromagnet, a linear moving armature and two preloaded springs is considered as a potential approach in Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) Systems for Internal Combustion Engines. In opposition to ... Read More
This paper describes the automatic optimization of an electromagnetic actuator using a genetic algorithm. The actuator modeled here is dedicated for charge changing valve actuation in internal combustion engines. In the first step of the simulation, several operating points are ... Read More
Although microwave heating has been studied in great detail, microwave combination heating has not. This work investigated this in a novel microwave combination system that heats the sample through a combination of microwaves and hot air. The study used a coupled electromagnetics ... Read More
Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems enable the transfer of electrical energy wirelessly without any physical contact by using magnetic fields generated by time-varying currents. Among several WPT techniques, inductive power transfer (IPT) is the most widely used due to its simplicity ... Read More
Many industrial processes involving chemical reactions rely on heat addition, which accounts for approximately 50% of all energy consumed in the United States' industrial sector. Examples include metallurgical processes, chemical processing, and heating process fluids. Traditionally, ... Read More
Electric vehicles (EVs) present a sustainable alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles. However, their widespread adoption remains hindered by limited driving range and insufficient charging infrastructure. Wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies, particularly those enabling ...

Accurately determining the effective dielectric properties (complex permittivity and permeability) of granular mixtures is essential for optimizing microwave-based processes, including materials synthesis and catalytic reactions. Conventional mixing laws often fail to capture the complex ... Read More
Surface plasmons in metal rectangular gratings can form bands and band gaps in their dispersion relations, analogous to those in photonic band-gap crystals and electronic bands in semiconductors. Introducing a dielectric coating atop the metal redshifts the plasmonic band gap, enabling a ... Read More
Recent retina implants have been shown to form monochromatic vision with prosthetic visual acuity of 20/438, dependent on the individual pixel size of 100 microns [1]. It is still far from meaningful image formation. Overall, the key challenge in retinal stimulation is the unresolved ... Read More
