This paper copes with the numerical simulation for convective heat transfer in the stator disk of an axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) electrical machine. Overheating is one of the main issues in the design of AFMPs, which mainly occurs in the stator disk, so that it needs to be prevented. A rotor-stator configuration with 16 magnets at the periphery of the rotor is considered. Air is allowed ...

PURPOSE To test a prototype magnet system (magnetic levator prosthesis) for the ability to comfortably and non-invasively provide eye opening with maintenance of the blink in people with paralytic ptosis and determine preliminary efficacy for short-term clinical application. METHODS The prototype device consisted of a magnet on a spectacle frame and a micro-magnet array mounted externally on ...

A RE(rare earth)Ba2Cu3Ox (REBCO) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil is a promising candidate to achieve a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) magnet operated at a magnetic field >23.5 Tesla (T), i.e. 1 H NMR frequency of 1 GHz. We developed and tested a 400 MHz (9.39 T) NMR magnet using an REBCO inner coil. The system included a low-temperature superconducting (LTS) shim coil inside the R...

In the field of applied superconductivity, there is a growing need to better understand heat transfers in superconducting accelerator magnets. Depending on the engineering point of view looked at, either 0-D, 1-D, 2D or 3Dmodeling may be needed. Because of the size of these magnets, alone or coupled together, it is yet, impossible to study this numerically for computational reasons alone withou...

Single-sided NMR devices can operate under conditions inaccessible to conventional NMR while featuring portability and the ability to analyze arbitrary-sized objects. In this paper, a semi-elliptic Halbach magnet array was designed and built for single-side Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). We present an easy-to-implement target field algorithm for single-side NMR magnet design based on Gram-Sc...

Nuclear magnetic resonance, or NMR, is the energy exchange between an RF magnetic field and an atomic nucleus such as a hydrogen proton, which is a tiny bar magnet due to its spin. NMR has a broad array of powerful applications, including: biomolecule sensing (e.g., cancer marker detection), medical imaging, and oil detection. NMR instruments, however, are bulky, heavy, and expensive, and remai...

Around Device Interaction (ADI) has expanded the interaction space on mobile devices to allow 3D gesture interaction around the device. In this paper, we look specifically at magnetbased ADI and its applied use in a playful, music-related context. Using three musical applications developed under the magnet-based ADI paradigm (Air Disc-Jockey, Air Guitar, Air GuitaRhythm), we investigate whether...

Permanent magnet (PM) machines with tooth coil windings are designed and analyzed. We study how the slot wedge material affects the behavior of PM losses when using tooth coil windings, which generate a significant air gap flux density harmonic content. The losses and cogging torques of a surface permanent magnet rotor and an interior permanent magnet rotor are compared in no-load and load situ...

Permanent-magnet-synchronous-machine (PMSM) drives have been increasingly applied in a variety of industrial applications which require fast dynamic response and accurate control over wide speed ranges. At the basis of analysis of the mathematical model of the permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and the principle of field-orientated vector control, a novel method for modeling and simulink...
