Bat exposures account for a quarter of the human rabies treatments in New York and a large share of the annual prophylaxis costs of US$1.8 million. To reduce the number of treatments associated with bats that are not captured and tested for rabies, the authors developed a refrigerator magnet to advise residents to consider the risk of rabies exposure from bat encounters, and a sticker to warn c...

We report a retrospective case of inner magnet migration, which occurred after 1.5 Tesla MRI scanning in an adult recipient of a bilateral cochlear implant (CI) despite a focused head dressing. The patient, bilaterally implanted with Nucleus 5 CIs (Cochlear LTD, Sydney, Australia), underwent a 1.5 Tesla cholangio-MRI scan for biliary duct pathology. In subsequent days, a focal skin alteration a...

This paper analyzes numerical simulations of the trajectories of magnetic beads in a microchannel, with a nearby permanent cubical magnet, under different flow and magnetic conditions. Analytically derived local fluid velocities and local magnetic forces have been used to track the particles. A centered position and a lateral position of the magnet above the microchannel are considered. The com...

A new permanent magnet design for axial flux interior permanent magnet (AFIPM) motor is described in this paper. Poleshoes are traditionally used to produce sinusoidal flux linkage and sinusoidal EMF especially in the case of radial flux synchronous machines. Poleshoes are not a practical solution in the case of axial flux PM machine. The use of poleshoes in the production of sinusoidal back EM...

In the present work, an integrated method of pole shape design optimization for reduction of torque pulsation components in permanent magnet synchronous motors is developed. A progressive design process is presented to find feasible optimal shapes. This method is applied on the pole shape optimization of two prototype permanent magnet synchronous motors, i.e., 4-poles/6-slots and 4-poles-12slots.

In this paper, one of the main cogging torque minimization methods, magnet skew, is examined in detail for Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) disc motor. Various magnet skewing methods, types, and effects on the machine performance are also investigated using 3D Finite Element Analysis. The results are compared with a reference AFPM motor, and the improvements on cogging torque component are de...

in this paper, lagrangian and equations describing one-dimensional anisotropic non-heisenberg model are studied. in this study we used the generalized coherent states in real parametrizations and the feynman path integral for these states in su(3) group. these equations describe nonlinear dynamics of non-heisenberg ferromagnetic chain completely. solutions of these equations are magnetic solito...
