Formulas for computing the Cartesian components of the static (DC) fields of horizontal electric dipoles ( HEDs) and vertical electric dipoles ( VEDs) located in the central zone of a three-layer horizontally stratified medium are derived and presented in a summary form suitable for immediate computation. Formulas are given for the electric and magnetic field components in the upper and central...

Molecular dielectrophoresis (DEP) is employed to rapidly (<ms) trap ssDNA molecules in a flowing solution to a cusp-shaped nanocolloid assembly on a chip with a locally amplified AC electric field gradient. By tuning AC field frequency and DNA DEP mobility relative to its electrophoretic mobility due to electrostatic repulsion from like-charged nanocolloids, mismatch-specific binding of DNA mol...

AC electrokinetics is a generic term that refers to an induced motion of particles and fluids under nonuniform AC electric fields. The AC electric fields are formed by application of AC voltages to microelectrodes, which can be easily integrated into microfluidic devices by standard microfabrication techniques. Moreover, the magnitude of the motion is large enough to control the mass transfer...

Future use of coated conductors in electric power applications like transmission cables, transformers or fault current limiters is sensitive to the amount of dissipation in the AC regime. This paper analyses factors controlling AC loss of coated conductors in typical configurations: the self-field case when transport current generates the magnetic field, and the case of AC applied field where t...

In the mid-latitude ionospheric region, sporadic-E layers (Es layers) have often been observed, revealing multiple layers. The Es layers observed during the SEEK-2 rocket campaign showed double electron density peaks; namely, there are stable lower peaks and relatively unstable upper peaks. We examined the effects of wind shear and the electric fields on the generation of the multiple layer str...

An ac electric field applied to a single donor-bound electron in a semiconductor modulates the orbital character of its wave function, which affects the electron's spin dynamics via the spin-orbit interaction. Numerical calculations of the spin dynamics of a single hydrogenic donor (Si) embedded in GaAs, using a real-space multiband k.p formalism, show the high symmetry of the hydrogenic donor ...

Electric Current Density Imaging (CDI) is a new modality of magnetic resonance imaging that enables electric current distribution imaging in conductive samples containing water. So far, two CDI techniques have been in use: DC-CDI operating at zero frequency and RF-CDI operating at the RF Larmor frequency. In this paper we present a new CDI technique, which extends the CDI frequency range to alt...

In the early 90’s, Jungheinrich was the first company to use static inverters to change the direct current of a forklift truck’s battery into 3-phase AC current, opening the door to the many benefits of AC-power (See Sidebar entitled “Chronology of three-phase AC introduction”). Today, Jungheinrich installs its proprietary AC technology in all its electric truck categories (counterbalanced mode...
