High speed rotation of small rotors is needed more and more in many industrial applications. Classical examples are compact devices like scanners, gyroscopes, centrifuge units and so on. The key to achieve high rotating speeds is to have contactless bearin ...
In this thesis work we propose new concepts of transporting and manipulating magnetic particles on microfluidic scale. The objective is to propose solutions to the problems related to the integration of the magnetic inductive components within a microfluid ...
We propose a new approach for magnetic microbead transport in microfluidic channels over long-range distances by the actuation of a simple array of planar coils. The latter are placed in a uniform static magnetic field, generated by permanent magnets. This ...
The invention relates to an inertial sensor based on the magnetic levitation of an inertial mass comprising an active magnetic bearing unit arranged in such a way as to levitate the inertial mass and characterized by the fact that it furthermore comprises ...
This paper presents technology aspects and choices relative to worldwide MAGLEV projects such as the German Transrapid, the Japanese MLX, the USA Inductrack and the Swissmetro. Propulsion, magnetic levitation and guidance, transfer of energy to the vehicle ...
Electromagnetic levitated and guided systems are commonly used in the field of people transport vehicles, tool machines frictionless bearings and conveyor systems. In the case of low speed people transport vehicles, the electromagnetic levitation offers th ...
CuGeO3 is a good realization of a spin-Peierls system. Using neutron scattering, we have investigated the transition from the dimerized spin-Peierls phase to an incommensurately modulated high-field phase. The incommensurate period has been measured for fi ...
First global linear study of electrostatic drift waves in two realistic quasisymmetric configurations, namely the Quasi-Axially symmetric Stellarator with three fields periods (QAS3) [P. Garabian and L. P. Ku, Phys. Plasma 6, 645 (1999)] and the Helically ...
The magnetic field generated by a coil acts on the cable which results in a transverse force on the strands. This affects the interstrand contact resistances (R-c), the coupling current loss and current redistribution during field changes. A special cryoge ...
Electromagnetic levitated and guided systems are commonly used in the field of people transport vehicles, tool machines, frictionless bearings and conveyor systems. In the case of low speed people transport vehicles, the electromagnetic levitation offers t ...
