We investigated temperature distribution in a solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sample rotor under magic angle spinning (MAS) experiments by analyzing the (207)Pb chemical shift of solid lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2). The analysis corrected a mismatch of the temperature dependence of (1)H spin-lattice relaxation time (T1(H)) obtained from different sample positions in the rotor. We prepare...

GyroWheel is an innovative device that combines the actuating capabilities of a control moment gyro with the rate sensing capabilities of a tuned rotor gyro by using a spinning flex-gimbal system. However, in the process of the ground test, the existence of aerodynamic disturbance is inevitable, which hinders the improvement of the specification performance and control accuracy. A vacuum tank t...

This paper presents a physical model of a squirrel cage induction machine with rotor topology. The machine is modeled in Modelica, an object oriented multi physical modeling system. The presented machine model is used to investigate electrical rotor asymmetries in induction machines. For the case of a single broken rotor bar a simulation model is compared with measurement results.

In a model study, the proton NMR spectrum of the opioid pentapeptide leucine-enkephalin associated with bicelles is investigated. The spectral resolution for a static sample is limited due to the large number of anisotropic interactions, in particular strong proton-proton couplings, but resolution is greatly improved by magic-angle sample spinning. Here we present two-dimensional switched-angle...

Stable rotor levitation is a challenge for rotational gyroscopes (magnetically suspended gyroscopes (MSG) and electrostatically suspended gyroscopes (ESG)) with a ring- or disk-shaped rotor, which restricts further improvement of gyroscope performance. In addition, complicated pick-up circuits and feedback control electronics propose high requirement on fabrication technology. In the proposed g...

High-Resolution Magic-Angle Spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy has become an extremely versatile analytical tool to study heterogeneous systems endowed with liquid-like dynamics. Spinning frequencies of several kHz are however required to obtain NMR spectra, devoid of spinning sidebands, with a resolution approaching that of purely isotropic liquid samples. An important limitation of the method...

Momentum exchange devices such as reaction wheels and control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) form an important class of torque actuators for spacecraft attitude control. A single gimbal CMG comprises of a rapidly spinning rotor mounted on a gimbal. The orientation of the rotor can be changed by applying torque to the gimbal, and the reaction torque thus generated serves to control the spacecraft atti...

Recent multiple-quantum MAS NMR experiments have shown that a change in the rotor phase (and, hence, in the Hamiltonian) between the excitation and reconversion periods can lead to informative spinning-sideband patterns. However, such "rotor encoding" is not limited to multiple-quantum experiments. Here it is shown that longitudinal magnetization can also be rotor-encoded. Both homonuclear and ...

To enhance the production efficiency of ring spinning and reduce the tension in the spinning process, the system which installed the balloon control ring on the ring spinning machine to control the balloon configuration of the yarn in the spanning process and control the tension in the spinning process was designed in the article. The system is the automatic control system based on PLC (Program...

Induction machine models used for steady-state and transient analysis require machine parameters that are usually considered design parameters or data. The knowledge of induction machine parameters is very important for Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC). A mismatched set of parameters will degrade the response of speed and torque control. This paper presents an improvement approach on roto...
