We experimentally investigate the effects of high electric field on living cells inside a charged droplet under electrophoretic actuation. When an aqueous droplet suspended in a dielectric liquid contacts with electrified electrode, the droplet acquires charge. This charged droplet undergoes electrophoretic motion under strong electric field (1-3 kV/cm), which can be used as a droplet manipulat...

The most distinct advantage of electric vehicle is in its quick and precise torque generation. We propose two novel traction control techniques of electric vehicle, i.e., the model following control and the optimal slip ratio control. Their effectiveness is demonstrated by using the test vehicle "UOT Electric March".

The present paper introduces a new testing process for embedded software development activities in the field of hybrid electric vehicles. The proposed process addresses some deficiencies of the existing testing models in order to improve the performance of HEV embedded software testing activities. The value added is given by the clear split of the test tasks and the level of independence betwee...

INTRODUCTION Many studies on the biological effects of electric and magnetic fields have been conducted since Wertheimer and Leeper reported an association between wiring configuration and childhood cancer among residents in Denver, Colorado. The genetic effects, especially mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, of electromagnetic fields have also been studied experimentally with positive and negati...

It has been known for some time that non-destructive electric breakdowns precede destructive thermal dielectric breakdown. We have been studying both processes in oxides between 5 nm and 80 nm in thickness. We have shown that the electric breakdowns can trigger dielectric breakdown under certain conditions. This triggering of dielectric breakdown causes TDDB distributions to be nonunique. The T...

In the present study, a model of a large Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery for use in the simulation of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) is developed. To attain this goal, an Equivalent Circuit (EC) consisting of a series resistor and two RC parallel networks is considered. The accuracy and the response time of the model for use in an HEV simulator are studied. The battery parameters identifica...
