Y. Wang, R. Brown, P. Spincemaille, R. Lee Radiology, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, NY, United States, Radiology, New York University, New York, NY, United States Introduction Noise correlation has been a controversial and confusing topic in MRI literature (1,2), due to the lack of a clear definition of thermal noise and the complexity of circuitry in MR scanners. The f...

Reduced-order modeling techniques are now commonly used to e ciently simulate circuits combined with interconnect, but generating reduced-order models from realistic 3-D structures has received less attention. In this paper we describe a Krylov-subspace based method for deriving reduced-order models directly from the 3-D magnetoquasistatic analysis program FastHenry. This new approach is no mor...

In electrical impedance tomography (EIT) two-dimensional models continue to be applied despite their known inability to provide correct reconstruction. In this paper, a reconstruction algorithm that assumes a translationally invariant conductivity distribution is described. A more precise forward solver is obtained by taking off-slice currents into consideration. An appropriate sensitivity matr...

This paper describes an instrument capable of detecting flaws in “green-state” (prior to sintering) powder metallurgy (P/M) parts. The instrument uses a matrix of impedance measurements from a multiprobe array that contacts the surface of the P/M part. The array of measured data is processed to not only detect the presence of flaws but determine their location, size, and orientation as well. Ex...

The inclusion of nanoparticles modifies a number of fundamental properties of many materials. Doping of nanoparticles in self-organized materials such as liquid crystals may be of interest for the reciprocal interaction between the matrix and the nanoparticles. Elongated nanoparticles and nanotubes can be aligned and reoriented by the liquid crystal, inducing noticeable changes in their optical...

Analysis of aperture-coupled microstrip antennas with a superstrate using space domain closed form Green's functions is presented. Integral equations are derived from applying the boundary conditions on the radiating patch, across the aperture, and on the microstrip feedline. The computation of space domain green's functions is performed using the closed-form. The solution of the integral equat...

The rate of convergence of the Generalized Minimum Residual Method (GMRES) applied to the dense linear systems arising from discretization of EFIE integral equation by Method of Moment (MoM) depends heavily by preconditioning. In this work, we evaluate the performances of a simple preconditioner based on the skew hermitian component S of MoM impedance matrix Z for the case of plane wave scatter...
