[1] During 8–30 January 2004, a sequence of 68 UV images of Saturn’s southern aurora was obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), coordinated for the first time with measurements of the upstream interplanetary conditions made by the Cassini spacecraft. Using the poleward edge of the observed aurora as a proxy for the open-closed field line boundary, the open flux content of the southern po...

Abstract. Compton backscattered x-ray source is developed in the energy region of a few hundred keV at Kansai Photon Science Institute of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (KPSI-JAEA). A remarkable feature of the Compton backscattered x-ray source is that the generated x-ray beam is a well-collimated and has a definite polarization property. The Compton backscattered x-ray source at KPSI-JAEA consists...

This paper presents an analytical modeling method of optimal control variables to maximize output power for switched reluctance generators (SRGs) in single pulse mode operation. This method extends the basic theory of the Stiebler model and utilizes the flux linkage function to express the inductance model of SRG. In this paper, the optimal phase current shape of SRG for maximum output power is...

The conventional linear permanent magnet generator (CLPMG) for direct-drive wave energy conversion (WEC) has experienced many drawbacks that are difficult to overcome such as low power density and bulky system volume. To improve power density, this paper proposes a linear magnetic-geared interior permanent magnet generator (LMGIPMG) with tubular topology, which artfully incorporates a linear ma...
