This paper presents ongoing research aimed at development of a MEMS magnetometer capable of nanoTesla sensitivity. Such a device would pave the way for inertial-grade MEMS IMUs. A resonant sensor is proposed, based on a Xylophone Bar sense element, and is analysed both directly and via ... Read More
To achieve a deeper understanding of the mechanism of the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) scientists use more and more numerical simulations. DBS inhibits overreaching brain activity via electric pulses that send into the brain by electrodes. Different electrode parameters such as geometry, ... Read More
Micro machined motors are a recent development in the domain of electrical machines. Compared to the conventional electromagnetic motors, micro machined motors offer high torque at lower speed, and are compact in nature. This makes them suitable for applications in the field of ... Read More
Convective deposition is a material processing technique where an evaporating meniscus of a colloidal suspension is dragged along a solid substrate to deposit layers of micro or nanoparticles. The process is a typical multiphysics process where fluid dynamics, mass and heat transfer come ... Read More
The transport of intense ion beams with reduced beam divergence over reasonable drift distances requires a reliable space charge compensation (SCC). Negative ion beams (required in the Neutral Beam Injectors envisioned for the ITER tokamak) are here discussed. Secondary particles are ... Read More
Introduction: Existing solar cell (photovoltaic, PV) device simulation software is either open source with limited capabilities (1D only) [1,2] or extremely expensive with obscure functionality [3]. PV researchers need an accessible and versatile simulation tool to optimize existing ... Read More
Micro Mirrors is a versatile device which has been gaining popularity and this finds application in fields such as optical switching, display and in medical fields for non-invasive imaging. A thermally actuated mirror moves in either positive or negative directions of x and y. The ends ... Read More
Fixed nitrogen is used in many forms ranging from nitric acid to hydrogen cyanide and is used as such for industrial applications. The reactions to produce these products are highly endothermic and favored by high-temperature processing. The most basic route of chemically fixing nitrogen ... Read More
This paper describes how to numerically tackle the problem of counting and sizing particles by impedance measurement in an orifice–electrode system. The model simulate the particle dynamics submitted to strong hydrodynamic stresses through a microorifice and compute the voltage pulses ... Read More
Efficient and low cost deionization is a major technology challenge. Energy efficient technologies like Capacitive deionization (CDI) are possible emerging alternatives. In the present work, we simulate charge adsorption in a 2D flow cell to study its dependence on applied potential and ... Read More
