This paper describes a method based on magnetic levitation (MagLev) that is capable of indirectly measuring the binding of unlabeled ligands to unlabeled protein. We demonstrate this method by measuring the affinity of unlabeled bovine carbonic anhydrase (BCA) for a variety of ligands (most of which are benzene sulfonamide derivatives). This method utilizes porous gel beads that are functionali...

The use of high-temperature superconducting wires (HTS wires) in on-board superconducting magnets for maglev has several advantages such as improvement in the stability of the superconducting magnet, improvement in reliability through simplification of the magnet structure, and decrease in the mass of the superconducting magnet and energy consumed by the on-board cryocooler. To demonstrate the ...

In this paper, a new Model Predictive Controller (MPC) parameters tuning strategy is proposed using a LabVIEW-based perturbed Particle Swarm Algorithm (pPSA). This original LabVIEW implementation of this metaheuristic algorithm is firstly validated on some test functions in order to show its efficiency and validity. The optimization results are compared with the standard PSO approach. The param...
