Characterization of low-temperature plasmas generated by dielectric barrier discharges for bacterial inactivation
Low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) at atmospheric pressure hold great promise for disinfection and sterilization applications. When compared to traditional sterilization technologies like autoclaving, LTPs may offer several benefits, including reduced energy c ...
EPFL2024Inversing the actuation cycle of dielectric elastomer actuators for a facial prosthesis
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Paolo Germano, Alexis Boegli, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Stefania Maria Aliki Konstantinidi, Quentin Philippe Mario De Menech
Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) are a type of smart material described as compliant capacitors. They show impressive performances as soft actuators, such as a high strain and fast response. Nonetheless, replicating natural muscle function with DEAs h ...
Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)2024DEMO toroidal field coil fast discharge unit integration studies
Roberto Guarino, Alberto Ferro
The Fast Discharge Units (FDUs) of the Superconducting (SC) Toroidal Field (TF) coils in the European demonstration fusion power plant DEMO warrant the machine integrity over its full lifetime against severe failure events, such as SC coil quenches or any ...
Elsevier Science Sa2024High-frequency response of a hemispherical grounding electrode
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga
The lightning discharge current is characterized by a high-frequency spectrum extending from DC to about 10 MHz. The calculation of the grounding impedance is one of the most important aspects of designing lightning protection systems. The search for analy ...
2024Polarization-enhanced GaN Schottky barrier diodes: Ultra-thin InGaN for high breakdown voltage and low Ron
Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Alessandro Floriduz, Zheng Hao
In this work, we present a concept that leverages the strong piezoelectric polarization field in InGaN, which counteracts the external electric field at reverse bias. We show that despite the smaller InGaN band-gap and lower critical electric field, its st ...
2024SPAD Developed in 55 nm Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS Technology Achieving Near 90% Peak PDP
Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ekin Kizilkan, Pouyan Keshavarzian, Won Yong Ha, Francesco Gramuglia, Myung Jae Lee
We present a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) developed in 55 nm bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology, which achieves high photon detection probability (PDP) while its breakdown voltage is lower than 20 V. To enhance the PDP performance, the SPAD junctio ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2024Partial discharge localization in power transformer tanks using machine learning methods
Marcos Rubinstein, Hamidreza Karami
This paper presents a comparison of machine learning (ML) methods used for three-dimensional localization of partial discharges (PD) in a power transformer tank. The study examines ML and deep learning (DL) methods, ranging from support vector machines (SV ...
2024Electromagnetic time reversal for online partial discharge location in power cables: Influence of interfering reflections from grid components
Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri
In online single-sided partial discharge (PD) location, the measured PD reflection patterns are affected by the characteristics of all the components of the associated power network. This paper analyses the performance of a PD location method based on elec ...
2024Scenario optimization for the tokamak ramp-down phase in RAPTOR. Part B: safe termination of DEMO plasmas
Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cassandre Ekta Contré, Emiliano Fable, Anna Teplukhina, Simon Van Mulders
An optimized plasma current ramp-down strategy is critical for safe and fast termination of plasma discharges in a tokamak demonstration fusion reactor (DEMO), both in planned and emergency scenarios, avoiding plasma disruptions and excessive heat loads to ...
Bristol2024Universal Casimir attraction between filaments at the cell scale
Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol
The electromagnetic Casimir interaction between dielectric objects immersed in salted water includes a universal contribution that is not screened by the solvent and therefore long-ranged. Here, we study the geometry of two parallel dielectric cylinders. W ...
