This paper is focused on how to implement a nonlinear voltage divider used in the electrical power network disturbances measurement system preconditioning circuit. The voltages acquired from the electrical power network have amplitudes between 0.2 kV and 10 kV, values which are very high for an acquisition board. These amplitudes must be reduced to the values accepted by the acquisition boards:...

We report the design, fabrication and characterization of a carbon nanotube enabled open-type X-ray system for medical imaging. We directly grew the carbon nanotubes used as electron emitter for electron gun on a non-polished raw metallic rectangular-rounded substrate with an area of 0.1377 cm² through a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. The stable field emission properties with...

Introduction: Public and occupational exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields induced by electrical equipment is a significant issue in the environment and at the workplace due to their potential health effects on public health. The purpose of this study was assessment of the electric and magnetic fields intensities and determination of mental and psychological ef...

Background: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel tumor ablation technique. IRE is associated with high electrical fields and is often reported in conjunction with thermal damage caused by Joule heating. For good response to surgery it is crucial to produce minimum thermal damage in both tumoral and healthy tissues named Non-Thermal Irreversible Electroporation(NTIRE). Non-thermal irrev...

It is shown that the conductance relaxations observed in electrical field effect measurements on granular Al films are the sum of two contributions. One is sensitive to gate voltage changes and gives the already reported anomalous electrical field effect. The other one is independent of the gate voltage history and starts when the films are cooled down to low temperature. Their relative amplitu...

In this research the influence of adding SiC on microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO-based Nanocomposite varistors were investigated. SiC was added with amounts of 10-0 mass% to ZnO-based varistor composition. It is found that SiC allows reaching to high threshold voltage with formation of fine-graine...

The effect of extracellularly applied electrical fields on neuronal excitability and firing behavior is attributed to the interaction between neuronal morphology and the spatial distribution and level of differential polarization induced by the applied field in different elements of the neuron. The presence of voltage-gated ion channels that mediate persistent inward currents (PICs) on the dend...

Electrical injuries, while uncommon, can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In children, the injuries tend to occur in the household; in adolescents, they are most often associated with misguided youthful exploration outside the home. Injuries in adults are primarily occupational and due to workplace accidents. Electrical injuries are categorized by their electrical source ...

With increase in the demand for electrical power conversion and control, new power electronic technologies are being developed rapidly. The power conversion is possible because of silicon power devices which are the most important components of any power electronic system. Among the power devices, insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) are more accepted and widely used in various application...
