We present a linear type ion trap consisting of metal lines that are lithographically patterned onto two ceramic substrates. Trapping fields are realized by applying specific voltage potentials to each line. This arrangement allows miniaturization approaches that are immune to surface roughness issues and increased complexities of precision machining of electrode surfaces. We also present how t...

This paper aims to discuss the filter structures which constitutes a planar inductor, capacitors using microstrip lines and make it tunable taking the advantage of LTCC multilayer design. Investigations of passive multilayer filter structure using low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) for microwave and radio frequency application is studied. A roadmap for performance and process parameters to...

Abstract Operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of sewer networks are mainly driven by the results of CCTV inspections. With the European EN 13508 code, a standard classification scheme has been issued. The inspection results of course are suitable for prioritizing the most urgent measures within the network, because of leaks exfiltrating fowl water to the aquifer or collapses causing instab...

Open boundary conditions. Since the source current, Eq. 1, extends from z = −∞ to +∞ whereas our computational domain is finite, one has to apply suitable boundary conditions (see also [2]). Consider some accelerator component, residing in a vacuum cavity with attached beam pipe of smaller cross section than the cavity. Generally, the transitions from the pipe to the module have to be included ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies investigating the effect of cigar or pipe smoking on the occurrence of chronic cough and chronic phlegm have reported prevalences among cigar and pipe smokers lying between those of non-smokers and current cigarette smokers. This study uses data on previous cigarette consumption, current cigar or pipe consumption, and biochemical markers of smoking to provide a detai...

An automated algorithm based on the dynamic hydrological and hydraulic simulation modules in Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was developed to aid the design of storm sewer networks, provided that a layout is given. Numerical performance of the proposed algorithm was compared with the existing design methods with two application cases. The automated computation process of the sewer network d...
