Progress On The Iter Upper Launcher Millimeter Wave Design And Testing

René Chavan, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Frédéric Dolizy

The main purpose of the ITER ECH upper launcher is to control magnetohydrodynamic activity, in particular neoclassical tearing modes, in the plasma. The mm-wave optical system is optimized to insure that the eight RF beams are all focused to a small beam w ...

Optimization design of a linear actuator using a genetic algorithm

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic, Joël Maridor

This paper presents a method to optimize two linear actuator configurations. The method is stochastic and combines a genetic algorithm (GA) and FEM (finite element method) model generated with the commercial software FEMM. The optimization is performed in ...

Frequency dependent dielectric and mechanical behaviour of elastomers for actuator applications

Yves Leterrier, John Christopher Plummer, Frank Nüesch, Martin Molberg

The low frequency mechanical and dielectric behavior of three different elastomers has been investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis and dielectric spectroscopy, with the aim of accounting for the frequency dependence of the characteristics of the corre ...

Real time control of plasmas and ECRH systems on TCV

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, James Paley, Francesco Piras

Developments in the real time control hardware on Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) coupled with the flexibility of plasma shaping and electron cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive actuators are opening many opportunities to perform real time expe ...

Modeling and Control of a Magnetically Levitated Planar Motor

Alireza Karimi, Roland Longchamp, Marc Kunze, Vincent Reymond

This paper deals with the modeling and control of a magnetically levitated planar motor. The actuator considered has moving coils and stationary magnets. The principal objective is to develop a model which can be implemented in simulation. Therefore, the d ...

Design status of the ITER ECRH upper launcher mm-wave system

René Chavan, Jean-Daniel Landis, Francisco Sanchez, Robert Bertizzolo

The purpose of the ITER electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) upper launcher (UL), or antennae will be to provide localised current drive by accurately directing mm-wave beams up to 2MW, out of the four allocated upper port plugs, at chosen rational ...

2-DOF fMRI-Compatible Haptic Interface for Bimanual Motor Tasks with Grip/Load Force Measurement

Hannes Bleuler, Dominique Chapuis, Roger Gassert

Robotic systems are invaluable tools for the investigation of sensorimotor control of action, as they can influence motion in a controlled manner and precisely record timing, trajectory and interaction forces. In order to better understand the dynamics of ...

Mechanical stabilisation and design optimisation of masks for stencil lithography: Numerical approach and experimental validation

Jürgen Brugger, Andreea Veronica Savu, Marc Antonius Friedrich van den Boogaart

This paper addresses mask deformation phenomenon that frequently occurs but is highly undesirable in stencil lithography. Previously, a technique for mechanical stabilisation of stencils was proposed [M.A.F. van den Boogaart, et al., Corrugated membranes f ...

A Haptic Knob with a Hybrid Ultrasonic Motor and Powder Clutch Actuator

Hannes Bleuler, Dominique Chapuis, Etienne Burdet, Xavier Michel

In haptics, the forces to be displayed vary widely in terms of magnitude and bandwidth. A single actuator can hardly comply with these requirements. It has thus been proposed to combine electrical motors and passive devices in a hybrid actuator to cover a ...
