In this paper we present an analysis that shows the Maxwell Fish Eye (MFE) only has super-resolution property for some particular frequencies (for other frequencies, the MFE behaves as conventional imaging lens). These frequencies are directly connected with the Schumann resonance ... En savoir plus

Loudspeaker drivers are energy transducers: their main goal is to efficiently convert electrical energy to acoustic energy (sound), through the movement of mechanical parts. As such, they are prime candidates for the application of multiphysics methods and tools. The talk will outline ... En savoir plus

Metamaterials are periodic or quasi-periodic, sub-wavelength metal structures. The material properties are derived from its structure rather than inheriting them directly from its material composition. En savoir plus

Marco Cati graduated cum laude and encomium citation in electronic engineering in 2001 from the University of Florence, where in 2005 he also received a Ph. D. degree in electronic engineering. In 2005 he joined the Research & Development Department of Esaote where he is currently in ... En savoir plus

In this paper, we present the numerical modelling of a free-burning arc and its application to the understanding of optical mirage effect which could occur in a TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) device used in welding applications. En savoir plus

The well known Pierce design of electron and ion diodes is the base of particle source extraction systems [1,2]. It was heavily studied up to 1960 with analog computing and it now offers us a known case against which to compare the precision of fluid and particle tracing codes. The ideal ... En savoir plus

HIIPER is an experimental space propulsion device using a helicon and an IEC as a plasma generation and acceleration stage, respectively. There is an experiment in progress, but for true rapid iteration and to model the performance of the engine, COMSOL is a strong candidate for ... En savoir plus

We show that diffraction can be suppressed in a one-dimensional metallodielectric stack (MDS) at visible wavelengths to achieve super-resolution imaging. In our calculations we use two popular techniques, which can be adapted to investigate the imaging properties of MDSs. The two methods ... En savoir plus

Recently it has been proved theoretically (Miñano et al, 2011) that the super-resolution up to ? /500 can be achieved using an ideal metallic Spherical Geodesic Waveguide (SGW). This SGW is as a theoretical design, in which the conductive walls are considered to be lossless conductors ... En savoir plus

Electron-optical system (EOS) design for lithography provides the inherent advantage of higher resolution and maskless operation relative to optical technology. The use of multiple electron beams yields higher throughput, albeit with greater complexity in focusing, relative to the single ... En savoir plus
