Background High fidelity 12-lead ECG is important for physiological monitoring during cardiovascular interventions. A dominant ECG R-wave is essential for synchronizing cardiac MRI. Obtaining the real ECG in MRI is challenging due to a superimposed Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) voltage (VMHD) [1], & strong induced voltages from MRI switched gradients. Detecting acute ischemia by ST segment [2] is...

Liquid metal MHD (Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic) systems can be employed to produce electricity from a wide range of heat resources. In such a system, a low-boiling organic fluid and a high-temperature liquid metal fluid mix. The former evaporates, and carries the latter to flow through an MHD channel, where the electricity is generated. The mixing process and the gas-liquid flow characteristics will h...

In this paper we discuss an analytical study of hall current effects on unsteady magneto hydro dynamic flow of an incompressible electrically conducting couple stress fluid through a porous medium between parallel plates, taking into account pulsation of the pressure gradient effect and under the influence of a uniform inclined magnetic field of strength Ho inclined at an angle of inclination ...

Semi-active control systems have been widely studied over the last 20 years. The range of applications includes automotive suspensions, seismic vibration mitigation, large bridges vibration control, knee prosthesis, among others. Semi-active actuators have a complex dynamics, and interaction between actuator and plant cannot be ignored in control design. This is specially true for magneto-rheol...

We present here the construction and application of a compact benchtop time-resolved Kerr magnetometer to measure the magnetization precession in magnetic thin films and lithographically patterned elements. As opposed to very expensive femtosecond lasers this system is built upon a picosecond pulsed injection diode laser and electronic pulse and delay generators. The precession is triggered by ...

We study the magneto-transport in Aharonov-Bohm (AB) billiards forming doubly connected structures. In these systems, non-averaged conductance oscillates as a function of magnetic flux with period h/e. We derive formulas of the correlation function C(∆φ) of the magneto-conductance for chaotic and regular AB billiards by use of the semiclassical theory. The different higher harmonics behaviors f...

Terahertz magnetic fields with amplitudes of up to 0.4 Tesla drive magnon resonances in nickel oxide while the induced dynamics is recorded by femtosecond magneto-optical probing. We observe distinct spin-mediated optical nonlinearities, including oscillations at the second harmonic of the 1 THz magnon mode. The latter originate from coherent dynamics of the longitudinal component of the antife...

Abstract : The variation of the electrical resistivity of a material in the externalmagnetic field is known as magneto resistance. This phenomenon has been attractedboth theoretical and experimental researchers in miniaturization of magneto meters inthe recent years. In this paper, the magneto resistance of an inhomogeneous twodimensional conductor with ladder geometry i...

Background An important requirement for successful cardiac MRI is accurate gating. However, obtaining proper Electrocardiogram (ECG) gating inside the MRI is a difficult problem, due to the Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) effect, resulting in frequent intermittent gating. The MHD effect generates a voltage due to conductive blood flow perpendicular to B0, and distorts the real ECG. Intermittent gat...
