Introduction. Adhesive tapes are used for taping eyelids closed and securing endotracheal tubes during general anesthesia. These tapes can cause facial skin injury. We compared the incidence of facial skin injury and patient satisfaction with different tapes used. Methods. A total of 60 adult patients at risk of skin trauma were randomized to use 3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape or standard acryl...

For applications of MgB2 wires or tapes, high critical currents in high magnetic fields are essential. By using tapes in superconducting coils the anisotropic behaviour of the critical current, i.e. the dependence on the direction of the external field in relation to the tape surface, has to be taken into account. The anisotropy of MgB2 tapes with mechanically alloyed (MA) precursor powder and ...

this paper represents the performance of a squirrel-cage high temperature superconducting induction/ synchronous motor (hts-ism) based on nonlinear electrical equivalent circuit. the structure of the hts-ism is the same as that of the squirrel-cage type induction machine, and the secondary windings are fabricated by the use of the hts wires. it has already been shown that based on the experimen...

Ag/Bi-2223 tapes were fabricated using the Powder-In-Tube method, involyH1~ intermediate deformation techniques of sandwich rolling (SR), pressing (P) and nQl1l1~~ rolling (NR). Magnetic field B depen:lence of Jc was measured. Depending 6rt:~~' relationship between )c and B, the irreversible magnetic field Birr was determineli)lIl..W: pinning force density F was calculated.

[1] The law in the federal courts governing whether litigants must disclose their backup tapes just changed. Faced with the cost, burdens and uncertainties of mining backup tapes, as well as other sources of data that are difficult to reach, most litigants have simply been ignoring their backup tapes. No more. The amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure adopt a new standard that embr...

Many variables control the critical current density (Jc ) in BSCCO-2223 composites but not all of them are yet well understood, or even positively identified. One important factor is reported to be the density of the BSCCO filament, as measured by microhardness. Since different deformation processes may be used during fabrication, and each can have a different effect on the final BSCCO core den...

Improving transport current has been the primary topic for practical application of superconducting wires and tapes. However, the porous nature of powder-in-tube (PIT) processed iron-based tapes is one of the important reasons for low critical current density (Jc) values. In this work, the superconducting core density of ex-situ Sr0.6K0.4Fe2As2 + Sn tapes, prepared from optimized precursors, wa...
