This report addresses design of a PCB intended for use as a busbar integrated with multiple DC-link (rail) capacitors in a high power inverter. The geometry and current ratings are typical of a 50 kW unit operating at 60kHz in an intermittent mode. First, circuit aspects are analyzed. ... En savoir plus

Every year, in the United States alone, more than 40,000 infants are born with congenital heart defects (CHD) and an additional 550,000 adults are diagnosed with heart failure. Every year, $110 billion is spent on treating heart attacks and $20-39 billion on heart failure in the US. The ... En savoir plus

In electric distribution network, current and voltage measurement for metering, monitoring, and protection & control applications is done via instrument transformers (current and voltage transformers). These measurement devices are deployed during the construction phase of the ... En savoir plus

Electromagnetic fields are pervasive in today’s urban environment and under certain circumstances exposure has led to safety hazards that have been reported to cause personal injury. The United States Department of Labor has reported multiple cases of electrical shock on construction ... En savoir plus

Introduction: Wireless power transfer (WPT) is an emerging technology for charging implantable devices, industrial devices, and consumer electronics. It can be categorized as short-distance, mid-range, and long-distance WPT based on the distance between the transmitter (Tx) and the ... En savoir plus

As a high-tech silicon producer, it is our goal to provide efficient and sustainable production technologies. This requires to constantly upgrade our production concept. Thus, material and design innovations are an inevitable part of our everyday work, which leads our microwave ... En savoir plus

The use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) as shaft generators is not new in marine vessels propulsion drive trains. Due to risk of fires in stator windings by internal faults, DNV GL requires the shaft generator to be electrically dead without losing propulsion. This ... En savoir plus

Field-emitter (FE) electron sources offer significant advantages over photocathode and thermionic sources due to their ability to be operated without the need for an auxiliary laser system or a heating source. While FE cathodes have been traditionally used in DC environments, we explore ... En savoir plus

Solenoid valves control fluid flow by using the passage of an electric current to produce a magnetic field that controls the displacement of a pre-tensioned plunger. As the electric current increases, the induced force causes the plunger to move upward against the force exerted by a ... En savoir plus
