This work describes the design and optimization of three prototypes of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitive accelerometer-based middle ear microphone. The microphone is intended for middle ear hearing aids as well as future fully implantable cochlear prosthesis. The analysis ... En savoir plus

Vacuum window is required in the millimeter wave transmission line in ITER*. It is to be designed to minimize the microwave reflection while keeping a robust and safe approach to meet the requirements. We have studied transmission characteristics of various dielectric materials over D ... En savoir plus

Thermoelectric power generation has been envisioned as a clean energy alternative to conventional thermal to electric power generation for decades due to its noiseless and low-cost operation. However, a typical thermoelectric generator suffers from low device efficiency, so it has been a ... En savoir plus

Electrical resistivity surveys have been used for many decades in hydro geological, mining and geotechnical investigations. Various types of electrode combinations have been tested. But different array gives different type of response over same sub-surface feature. Response of different ... En savoir plus

High-power couplers (both coaxial and ridge waveguide type) at UHF frequencies are presently under development for the Low Energy High Intensity Proton Accelerator (LEHIPA) project and 1 GeV proton accelerator at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. Ridge waveguide coupler transitions the ... En savoir plus

Mutual Inductance based Level sensor has been proposed for high temperature (1000 C) molten metal applications. Modelling and Simulation studies are done using COMSOL Multiphysics® to obtain optimum sensor design, excitation frequency and sensor characteristics. Further temperature ... En savoir plus

Simplistic, 1D analytical calculations in electro-magneto-hydrodynamics are attractive to technologists and researchers given the computational resources and time required by 3 dimensional F.E. (Finite Element) tools. However, such analytical calculations need to be checked against 3D ... En savoir plus

A new microwave cavity for the regeneration of DPF regeneration was proposed and COMSOL Multiphysics® FEM model was used to investigate heating properties of the Silicon Carbide (SiC) based DPF. Electric field profile and thermal profile of the microwave cavity and DPF was established ... En savoir plus
