BACKGROUND Electrical stimulation is used to treat nonunions and to augment spinal fusions. We studied the biochemical pathways that are activated in signal transduction when various types of electrical stimulation are applied to bone cells. METHODS Cultured MC3T3-E1 bone cells were exposed to capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, or combined electromagnetic fields at appropriate field str...

The capacitive effects of a ground plane on an aerial bucket truck undergoing periodic testing can have a significant impact on the measured test results. The capacitive coupling of a building can reduce the leakage current through the boom resulting in a lower reading from the return point of the truck. Since the coupling is not as prevalent outdoors, more current flows through the boom result...

A flux qubit can interact strongly when it is capacitively coupled to other circuit elements. This interaction be separated into two parts, one acting on the subspaces and in which excited states mediate interaction. The first term dominates between an $LC$ resonator, leading ultrastrong couplings of form ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}^{y}(a+{a}^{\ifmmode\dagger\else\textdagger\fi{}})$, complement indu...

For modern integrated circuits, capacitive coupling effects between interconnects can play an important role. Also resistive coupling effects via the substrate may have a significant influence on circuit behavior. This has already been recognized some time ago [1], and several methods to model these effects have been developed [2]. In this paper we will show how we can model coupling effects th...

Abstract- A novel low-voltage two-stage operational amplifier employing resistive biasing is presented. This amplifier implements neutralization and correction common mode stability in second stage while employs capacitive dc level shifter and coupling between two stages. The structure reduces the power consumption and increases output voltage swing. The compensation is performed by simple mill...

This paper presents a capacitive power transfer (CPT) system using a Class-E resonant inverter. A Class-E resonant inverter is chosen because of its ability to perform DC-to-AC inversion efficiently while significantly reducing switching losses. The proposed CPT system consists of an efficient Class-E resonant inverter and capacitive coupling formed by two flat rectangular transmitter and recei...
