COMSOL Multiphysics® Contribution to the Current Knowledge of the Proton Mass

M. Schuh [1],
[1] Max-Planck-Institut for Nuclear Physics, Heidelberg, Germany

Penning-trap mass spectrometers are the tools of choice for mass-ratio measurements of two different single ions with highest precision. The investigated ions are stored consecutively in a combination of an electric quadrupole potential and a homogeneous magnetic field at ultra-high ... Read More

2D Extraction of Open-Circuit Impedances of Three-Phase Transformers

R. Escarela-Perez[1], E.A. Gutierrez-Rodriguez[2], J.C. Olivares-Galvan[1], M.S. Esparza-González, and E. Campero-Littlewood[1]

[1]Departamento de Energia, Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana - Azcapotzalco, Mexico D.F., Mexico
[2]Instituto Tecnologico de Aguscalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico

This work is concerned with the study of the asymmetrical phenomenon observed in three-phase transformers during the standard short-circuit test. The purpose of our work is to see if the asymmetric measurements can be predicted with the use of 2D finite-element models. To this end, we ... Read More

Optimization of an Electromagnetic Actuator with COMSOL Multiphysics

T. Müller[1], A. Schwenger[2], and H. Haase[1]
[1]Institut für Grundlagen der Elektrotechnik und Messtechnik, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany

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

Electrical Impedance Sensor to Detect Tunnels and Infrastructure in Soil

R. Gamache, and D. Spinelli
TransTech Systems, Inc., Schenectady, NY, USA

Tunnels and their detection have been a problem in warfare since the ancient world. Recent events have highlighted the ongoing problems of tunnels and the difficulties in locating them, not only in military situations, but also in law enforcement and homeland security applications as ... Read More

Numerical Analysis of an Ultrasonic Technology for Food Dehydration Intensification

R. R. Andres [1], E. Riera [1],
[1] Grupo de Sistemas y Tecnologías Ultrasónicas (GSTU), ITEFI, CSIC, Madrid, Spain

Food dehydration processes assisted by high-power ultrasound (HPU) have become an efficient technology with a great potential in its implementation. To produce the desired effects in the samples, it is necessary that the dehydration system, composed by a HPU transducer and an ultrasonic ... Read More

Microstimulation in The Brain: Does Microdialysis Inuence the Activated Volume of Tissue?

D. Krapohl[1][3], S. Loeffler[2], A. Moser[2], and U.G.Hofmann[1]

[1]Institute for Signalprocessing, University of Luebeck, Lübeck, Germany
[2]Institute for Neurology, University of Luebeck, Lübeck, Germany
[3]Department of Information Technology and Media, Mid Sweden University, Sundsvall, Sweden

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been established as an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. The stimulation is currently administered using tetrode-macroelectrodes that target the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN). This often leads to side effects which bias ... Read More

Modeling of Substrate Plate Preheating to Predict Efficiency in the Electron Beam Melting Process
