We report here a detailed 3-dimensional (3-D) electromagnetic (EM) simulation study on the feasibility of Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) using the strongly coupled magnetic resonance (SCMR) effect at 5.8 GHz for potential μm-scale biosensors applications. The tiny 110 μm x110 μm planar aluminum inductor coil is built on the silicon substrate as our miniaturized receiver coil, which has been desi...

Foundries for the metal-casting industry plays a vital role to generate byproducts such as used foundry sand. Metal foundries use large amounts of the metal casting process. Foundries successfully recycle and reuse the sand many times in a foundry but by using repeated usage of Used foundry-sand vary due to the type of equipment used for foundry processing, the types of additives, the number of...

OBJECTIVE To study the impact of occupational silica exposure on the incidence rates of sarcoidosis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a cohort of exposed workers in Swedish iron foundries. DESIGN The prevalence of sarcoidosis and RA in a cohort of silica exposed workers was compared with the prevalence in the general Swedish population in this register study. A mixed model was used to calculat...
