The aim of this project is the design and the optimization of the electrical motors used in the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system currently under development at JTEKT, an automotive part supplier company. Two motors are needed for the control ...
Electric motors consume over half of the electrical energy produced by power stations, almost the three-quarters of the electrical consumption in industry and almost the half of commercial electrical consumption in developed countries. Motors are by far th ...
In order to create a new solar aircraft totally powered by the sun, a new method able to handle such a complex system must be developed. The project aim is to make a round-the-world flight in so as to promote the sustainable development. The aircraft power ...
The Industrial Electronics Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland, has built a prototype of a revolutionary two-wheeled vehicle. Due to its configuration with two coaxial wheels, each of which is coupled to a dc moto ...
Pyrochlore free Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 (PMN) thin films were prepared from alkoxide-based solution precursors. The influence of different seeding layers and chemical solution on the microstructures is shown. Dielectric, electrostrictive, and piezoelectric prope ...
The presence of oil in domestic heat pumps is a hindrance, particularly for enhanced surface evaporators and for advanced concepts based on two-stage cycles. Very compact oil-free dynamic compressor directly driven by high speed electric motors and support ...

The paper presents a method to determine hysteresis losses in synchronous permanent magnet (PM) motors. The method comprises four steps: (1) experimental determination of the B-H loop, (2) analytical modeling of the B-H loop by applying different models, ( ...
Pure perovskite Pb(Sc1/2Nb1/2)O-3 thin films without pyrochlore phase were prepared by the sol-gel method on TiO2/Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates. Films exhibited (111) preferred orientation and columnar microstructure. Diffuse phase transitions with permittivi ...
Time-resolved photoluminescence (PL), at T=8 K, is used to study a graded-width InGaN/GaN quantum well. Across the sample, the well width continuously varies from similar to5.5 to 2.0 nm corresponding to PL peak energies varying between 2.0 and 2.9 eV and ...
