In this paper, the authors introduced a new approach to realize a contact-free micro-bearing for MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) applications. In the proposed idea, the mechanism of magnetic repulsion by eddy current was employed. Numerical analysis and experimental research was performed. In the proposed structure having a ringed magnetic circuit having a circularly-arranged gap (gappe...

Mechanical forces have long been studied in relation to stem cell differentiation or cell migration, however, their significance during brain and neural circuit formation are poorly understood. We present a magnetic gradient platform that allows investigation of small scale forces acting on arrays of neurons in parallel. The approach draws magnetic nanoparticles within neurons towards patterned...

This paper explores the theory and potential of a family of reluctance motors as well as brief review of different types of reluctance motors, motivated by the increased demands for geometric versatility and ruggedness for electric motors. This paper presents a new and novel disc type reluctance motor that has been designed built, tested, and analyzed. The magnetic circuit-based analysis shows ...

We performed a new coupled circuit numerical simulation of eddy currents in an open compact magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. Following the coupled circuit approach, the conducting structures were divided into subdomains along the length (or width) and the thickness, and by implementing coupled circuit concepts we have simulated transient responses of eddy currents for subdomains in diff...

Differential global surface impedance (DGSI) model, a rigorous approach, has been applied to the analysis of three dimensional plasmonic circuits. This model gives a global relation between the tangential electric field and the equivalent surface electric current on the boundary of an object. This approach helps one bring the unknowns to the boundary surface of an object and so avoid volumetric...

provide a simple electrical equivalent circuit that lends itself to circuit analysis. The magnetic structure shown in Figure 1 will be the first demonstration of this technique. This simple inductor is built upon a ferrite core, with air gaps to store the required inductive energy created by simply shimming the two core halves apart (not usually a good practice, but inexpensive). Purpose: I. To...
