The most common method for in-situ recovery of oil sands is Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). SAGD is based on injecting pressurized steam into the ground to heat up the highly viscous bitumen and reduce its viscosity allowing oil to flow. This process is energy and emissions ... Read More
In this research work, we developed a virtual model to examine the electrical conductivity of multilayered thin films when positioned above a single layer and multilayers of graphene, and flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. Additional structured thin films were ... Read More
Offshore operations, using Robotically Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in areas with high ambient temperatures require ampacity limitations to be established. Specifically, the risk of overheating ROV umbilicals and tethers when running at high power, due to multiple layers on winch drums is a ... Read More
Emerging battery technologies are addressing applications of renewable and fossil fuel energy sources since they can store and release energy on demand. In recent years significant strides have been made in lithium battery technology. Lithium batteries are the primary sources of power in ... Read More
Modeling the effects of electromagnetic fields on biological structures on the order of the body and tissues to the micro (1e-6)-and nano (1e-9) level of cells and sub-cellular structures presents formidable challenges. We share the major lessons we have learned using COMSOL ... Read More
Modern home audio products are starting to feature dedicated upward firing height channel speakers, which are a combination of unique physical speaker design and special signal processing, to reproduce audio as if the sound source is located in the ceiling. Due to slim form factor design ... Read More
This paper presents the design and simulation results of a MEMS-actuated deformable mirror (DM) consisting of a 20 × 20 Lorentz-force actuator array bonded to a flexible mirror. The DM is the critical component of an Adaptive Optics (AO) system targeted for ground-based telescope ... Read More
State of the art measurements of permanent electric dipoles (EDM) measure accumulated phase in spin-polarized gases over hundreds of seconds and are exquisitely sensitive to magnetic field inhomogeneities. The search for the neutron's EDM at Los Alamos National Laboratory (nEDM@LANL) ... Read More
Working fluids (engine oil, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, coolants, etc.) become contaminated in use. To ensure that the equipment is not damaged by the contaminated fluid, the fluid is typically removed and replaced periodically. For large groups of machines, the used fluid is ... Read More
The search for physics beyond the Standard Model using low-energy neutrons requires, among other things, very precise transport and manipulation of the neutron spin. In this talk some examples of coil design for stringent magnetic field uniformity requirements and complicated geometries ... Read More
