For testing large-scale cable-in-conduit conductors, several practical experimental techniques have been developed to specifically address the issues of conductor stability. The following described techniques enable experimentalists to quantify the effects and thus provide useful tools ro improve the conductor performapce in magnet applications. In this paper, we present two experimental techni...

We propose a spin-independent scheme to generate and detect two-particle entanglement in a mesoscopic normal-superconductor system. A superconductor, weakly coupled to the normal conductor, generates an orbitally entangled state by injecting pairs of electrons into different leads of the normal conductor. The entanglement is detected via violation of a Bell inequality, formulated in terms of ze...

J. C. Maxwell derived formulae for the calculation of current density and current in a cylindrical conductor supplied with variable current. In the 1950s K. Simonyi published a method for calculating current density in a cylindrical conductor made up of two conductors, cylindrical and tubular, of different resistivities. The present paper proves that Simonyi’s result is incorrect. The main atte...

Potentiometric oxygen sensors with excellent sensitivity in a low concentration range are designed based on intrinsic logarithmic response characteristics, and an asymmetric electrode structure, differentiated from conventional reference gases or parts exposed to air, is implemented. Electrolytes materials that formulate sensor devices evaluated by comprehensively considering their reactivity t...

In 1914, Blondel [1] performed an experiment in which a solenoidal coil was coaxial with a region of static magnetic field, such that the magnetic field on the conductor of the coil was negligible. The conductor of the coil T (D in the right figure) could be wound onto an auxiliary drum T ′ (D1), such that the magnetic flux through the coil T (D) was time dependent. What was the reading of the ...

A method to accurately estimate the thickness of a paramagnetic film conductor from the difference in the complex impedance between a circular solenoid coil equipped with a conductor and a similar one without a conductor has been studied. As for aluminum films of a thickness of 15 to 60 um and a frequency range of 10 to 500 kHz, the discrepancy between the measured values using this method and ...

Riata defibrillator leads were recalled due to a high failure rate. This study measured the incidence of externalized conductor (EC) and electrical dysfunction (ED) and sought to determine the predictors of ED with Riata defibrillator leads. We enrolled patients who received Riata® or Riata® ST silicone defibrillator leads at our center between January 2003 and December 2010. The presence of EC...

For partial discharge (PD) diagnostics in gas insulated switchgears (GISs) based on the ultra-high-frequency (UHF) method, it is essential to study the attenuation characteristics of UHF signals so as to improve the application of the UHF technique. Currently, the performance of UHF has not been adequately considered in most experimental research, while the constructive conclusions about the in...

When organizationsmove computation to the cloud, they must choose from a myriad of cloud services that can be used to outsource these jobs. The impact of this choice on price and performance is unclear, even for technical users. To further complicate this choice, factors like price fluctuations due to spot markets, or the cost of recovering from faults must also be factored in. In this paper, w...

Commonly, dynamic line rating (DLR) calculates conductor temperature with a basic energy balance equation, which assumes homogeneous conductor temperature. With this 0D temperature assumption, however, there is a risk that inner layers of the conductor might exceed the limit temperature, if the rating current approaches its ampacity. Since conductor overheating should be avoided for operational...
