The optimisation of dimensions, materials choice of heaters in annealing furnaces are done with COMSOL Multiphysics® in 2D-axisymetry. Heat losses sources are identified and corrective actions can be taken in function of simulation results. A power saving of more than 50% is achieved ... En savoir plus

This paper presents the design of an electron gun that could be employed for vacuum tubes operating in the THz range. In this context, vacuum tubes one of the main difficulties in the realization of THz vacuum tube is the design and the realization of the electron gun. Since the ... En savoir plus

Noninvasive radiofrequency (RF) tissue heating is frequently used for skin tightening and facial wrinkle reduction as alternative to invasive surgical procedures. However, to ensure a safe and efficient therapy, the temperature of the skin and the subcutaneous tissue must be controlled ... En savoir plus

Tecnotion produces linear motors for the high tech automation and semiconductor markets. Orthocyclically wound coils give the best performance because the largest number of windings can be packed into a given volume, as opposed to "wild winding", where the windings fall where they may. ...

Conclusions about the influence of paper insulation on the electrical discharge initiation in mineral oil may be drawn on the basis of experimental studies. However, in some cases, these conclusions may be supported by electrical field analysis. Determination of maximum values of ... En savoir plus

Besides conventional laboratory analysis methods, so called micro-total-analysis devices (µTAS) have gained great interest during the last decades. In this work we demonstrate a mechanism for the separation and selection of medical samples that can be applied within these µTAS devices. ... En savoir plus

COMSOL Multiphysics® coupled with Solidworks® is employed to design, simulate and fabricate cartridges for a materials printer to accomplish in-situ curing of UV curable ink patterns as they are printed on flexible media for printed electronic circuit manufacturing. The cartridges ... En savoir plus

The pH-sensitive hydrogels are responsive to the pH of surrounding solution, which often resemble to biomaterials. Recently, pH-sensitive hydrogels are widely used in various devices as sensing media. We present the simulation of swelling characteristic of 3D-arbitarary-geometry, pH ... En savoir plus

In using DEP for particle manipulation, researchers often use a formula to calculate the DEP forces in which the forces are proportional to the particle radius to the third power. This formula assumes that the electrical field, E, will not be affected by the presence of a particle, no ... En savoir plus

Photonic technique such as the whispering gallery mode (WGM) is often used for detection of small particles like bacteria and viruses. It offers good detection sensitivity and is advantageous over other detection techniques because the detection can be label free. However, the detection ... En savoir plus
