The Trikebot is the result of a ground-up design effort chartered to develop an effective and low-cost educational robot for secondary level education and home use. This paper describes all aspects of the Trikebot, including chassis and mechanism; control electronics; communication architecture; robot control server and student programming environment. Notable innovations include a fast-build c...

INTRODUCTION Electromagnetic fields (EMF) have adverse effects as a result of widespread use of electromagnetic energy on biological systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of prenatal exposure to EMF on rat myocardium by biochemical and histopathological evaluations. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, 10 pregnant Wistar rats were used. Half of the pregnant rats were ex...

The conversion of external energy into electricity is the foundation power station and harvesting operation. source supplies an impressed force per unit charge to free or bound produces AC electricity. We analyze electrodynamics ideal generators through a time dependent permanent polarization without any applied electric field, which modifies constitutive relations essential oscillate in lossle...

The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by mobile phones on humans hold special interest due to their use in close proximity to the brain. The current study investigated the number of pyramidal cells in the cornu ammonis (CA) of the 16-week-old female rat hippocampus following postnatal exposure to a 900 megahertz (MHz) EMF. In this study were three groups of 6 rats: control (Cont)...

BACKGROUND The amount of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) at work is mainly determined by an individual's occupation and may differ from exposure at home. It is, however, unknown how different occupational groups perceive possible adverse health effects of EMF. METHODS Three occupational groups, the general Dutch working population (n = 567), airport security officers who work with me...

Electromagnetic field (EMF) exposures affect many biological systems. The reproducibility of these effects is related to the intensity, duration, frequency, and pattern of the EMF. We have shown that exposure to a specific time-varying EMF can inhibit the growth of malignant cells. Thomas-EMF is a low-intensity, frequency-modulated (25-6 Hz) EMF pattern. Daily, 1 h, exposures to Thomas-EMF inhi...

This paper presents the design and implementation of neural network controller for reducing torque ripples in brushlessDC (BLDC) motor drive with trapezoidal back-emf. The performances of the proposed neural networkcontroller are compared with the corresponding fuzzy PI controller and conventional PI controller. Simulation results are used to show the abilities and shortcomings of the proposed ...

The developed subdomain model accounting for tooth-tips can accurately predict the open-circuit, armature reaction and on-load field distributions in surface-mounted permanent magnet machines. Based on this field model, their electromagnetic performance of the machine, such as the cogging torque, back-EMF and electromagnetic torque, and winding inductances are calculated. The model can also be ...
