This article presents a numerical study of the electroporation process of spherical cells suspended in an electrolyte solution, using the equivalent circuit method (ECM) for field calculation proposed by Ramos et al. A model for the electric conductance of the cell membrane derived from the analytical and experimental results obtained by Glaser et al. for planar lipidic membranes was applied. T...

This paper describes the development and evaluation of a custom-built impedance analyser, which uses a multiplexing bridge circuit to characterise an array of polymer-coated quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors. The analyser is constructed on a single printed circuit board with minimum components and is sufficiently compact for integration into a hand-held format. The custom-built device i...

In this paper a new procedure for designing forward-wave directional couplers using periodic shunt short circuited stubs is proposed. A new type of cell using these stubs, which enlarge the phase difference between even- and odd modes of a uniform microstrip coupled line is introduced. Using the equivalent circuit model for even- and odd-modes of the proposed cell, the elements of the  ABCD tra...

Hysteresis motors are self starting brushless synchronous motors which are being used widely due to their interesting features. Accurate modeling of the motors is crucial to successful investigating the dynamic performance of them. The hysteresis loops of the material used in the rotor and their influences on the parameters of the equivalent circuit are necessary to be taken into considerat...

We give a simple, closed-form formula, what we call the Deflation Identity, for converting any 2-qubit circuit with exactly two controlled-U’s (and some 1-qubit rotations) into an equivalent circuit with just two CNOTs (and some 1-qubit rotations). We also give two interesting applications of the Deflation Identity; one to “opening and closing a breach” in a quantum circuit, the other to the CS...

In order to introduce magnetic conductive thin plates in quasi-static PEEC method, a coupling with the integrodifferential method is proposed. This coupling enables to take the advantage of each method. The complex conductor geometry is achieved thanks to the PEEC method. The modeling of thin plates is taken into account thanks to an integro-differential one.
