Resistive magnets are one of the principal components of ion medical accelerator systems used in heavy ion cancer treatment. To fulfill medical requirements, like the size of irradiation field and an uniform dose distribution, some magnets of the transport beam line may require large ... Read More
Currently, there are a number of promising applications of electromagnetic fields in medical diagnosis and therapy. Some, such as non-invasive monitoring of blood glucose concentration in patients with diabetes or temperature monitoring during hyperthermia, are in the phase of ... Read More
Induction heating (IH) [1] is a good candidate for decarbonization of chemical processes: energy savings, process intensification and production costs reduction [2-5]. Heat can be generated directly into the reactor at the surface in contact with the gas flux passing through a specific ... Read More
Balises are an essential part of pointwise train control systems ensuring the operational safety. Combined with a corresponding onboard unit, it represents an inductive transponder system (Fig. 1). During a crossing, the balise is activated by the 27 MHz magnetic field of the vehicle ... Read More
Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a promising approach to achieve fusion conditions that relies on the heating of a magnetized plasma by the rapid compression of a magnetic flux conserver. The compression timescale must be significantly shorter than the plasma’s thermal confinement time, ... Read More
The electromagnetic study for the design of microwave ovens requires knowledge of the electric permittivities of the materials within the chamber. In some cases, data can be easily obtained from the literature, as with Teflon, Mica, and borosilicate glass. However, for more advanced ... Read More
This research introduces an electro-optic modulator based on a Metal-Semiconductor (M-S) junction, aimed at advancing functional plasmonic circuits through active control of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at the interfaces of M-S devices. To evaluate the device's performance, we ... Read More
Numerical analysis based on finite element method (FEM) represents a powerful approach to solve electromagnetic problems. For instance, FEM methods have been broadly used to calculate the critical state current distribution in high temperature superconductors of various geometries. In ... Read More
Conventional heating of material wastes energy during heating due to inherent radiation, conduction and convection based heating mechanism. Alternate efficient heating methods are actively researched for improved efficiency. Radio frequency based electromagnetic heating is increasingly ... Read More
The purpose of this work was to establish a reliable radio frequency (RF) heating simulation which directly provides transient temperatures for medical devices with high geometric fidelity. These temporal results of localized temperatures can be used to determine conditions for safety of ... Read More
