To control and drive a robotic capsule accurately from outside a patient's body, we present a schema in which the capsule enclosing the imaging device, circuits, batteries, etc is looped by a permanent magnet ring that acts as an actuator. A cuboidal permanent magnet situated outside the patient's body attracts or pushes the magnet ring from different directions to make the capsule move or rota...

Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Machines benefit from manufacturing advantages and reduction in end winding length through the use of tooth-concentrated fractional windings but display increased space harmonic content, leading to higher eddy current losses in the rotor iron and permanent magnets. The choice of a double layer tooth-concentrated fractional winding for the modeling and design of a 24 ...

Implantable biosensors were developed for real-time monitoring of pressure and strain in the human body. The sensor, which was wireless and passive, consisted of a soft magnetic material and a permanent magnet. When exposed to a low frequency AC magnetic field, the soft magnetic material generated secondary magnetic fields that also included the higher-order harmonic modes. Parameters of intere...

Core loss is one of the significant factors affecting the high power density of permanent magnet machines; thus, it is necessary to consider core loss in machine design. This paper presents a novel method for calculating the core loss of permanent magnet synchronous machines under space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) excitation, taking magnetic saturation and cross coupling into account....

After an explanation of the general circumstances in which the use of permanent magnets in accelerators are desirable, a number of specific magnets are discussed. This discussion includes magnets needed for the opera tion of accelerators as well as magnets that are employed for the utilization of charged particle beams, such as the production of synchrotron radiation. Generic Advantages of Perm...

This paper presents the design, analysis and development of permanent magnet (PM) torque couplers. These couplers employ rare-earth magnets. Based on finite element analysis and earlier analytical works both concentric and face-type synchronous type couplers have been designed and fabricated. The experimental performance has good correlation with finite element calculations. Keywords—Finite Ele...

Note describes two experiments made to explore basic properties of permanent magnet (PM) material and to obtain “first hand” experience. In the first experiment, magnetic moments of NdFeB permanent magnets (PM) were fine tuned. The magnetic moment spread among 17 PM magnets was reduced by a factor of 5 from 2.8% to 0.5%. The note describes setup used for magnetization and presents result. The s...

We measured the homogeneity and stability of the magnetic field of a high field (about 1.04 tesla) yokeless permanent magnet with 40-mm gap for high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging. Homogeneity was evaluated using a 3-dimensional (3D) lattice phantom and 3D spin-echo imaging sequences. In the central sphere (20-mm diameter), peak-to-peak magnetic field inhomogeneity was abou...
