A ship built from ferromagnetic steel disturbs the uniformity of Earth’s magnetic field. Changes of ship’s signature are due to magneto-mechanical interaction hull with field. The ship’s field can be detected by a naval mine. For this reason, vessel has be demagnetized. There several methods de-perming. The results experimental and computer simulations de-perming process using coils lying on se...

The successful realization of a project for slitting core laminations for power transformers under minimizing costs is presented. The production of the core of power transformers requires great amounts of grain oriented silicon steel (up to 200 tons for a single transformer). The shape of the cross section of the core is approximated to a circle by stacking sheets of diierent widths. To supply ...

Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...

The 45-T Hybrid magnet will employ Cable-In-Conduit Conductor (CICC) technology for the windings of the Nb3Sn and NbTi coils. The conduit steel must retain high strength and fracture toughness at 4 K, following the Nb3Sn reaction heat treatment. The design requirements call for a 4 K yield strength exceeding 1000 MPa and a 4 K fracture toughness (KIc) greater than 110 MPa m -0.5. We report the ...

In recent years, many cases of contamination of metal scraps by unwanted radioactive materials have occurred. Moreover, international organisations are evaluating the possibility to re-use or to recycle metals coming from nuclear power plants. The metal recycling industry has started to worry about radiation exposure of workers that could be in contact with contaminated metals during each manuf...

A 14.5 GHz ECRIS has been designed and fabricated at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) to produce multi-charged ion beam (especially for C ion beam) for medical application. The magnet system has cupper conductor solenoid coils and a permanent magnet hexapole. A welded tube with aluminium and stainless steel is used for an ECR plasma chamber to improve the production of secondary e...

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) represent pulmonary vascular anomalies and in majority of cases are congenital in origin. We report a case that presented with predominant complaints of dyspnoea on exertion and cyanosis. Clinical examination revealed a bruit in the left lower interscapular and infrascapular areas which led us to suspect PAVM. The diagnosis was established on the bas...

An automated system is described for the sensor-based precision docking and manipulation of large objects. Past work in the remote handling of large nuclear waste containers is extensible to the problems associated with the handling of large objects such as coils of flat steel in industry. Computer vision and ultrasonic proximity sensing as described here are used to control the precision docki...

Our aim was to determine whether complete hepatic denervation would affect the hormonal response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia in dogs. Two weeks before study, dogs underwent either hepatic denervation (DN) or sham denervation (CONT). In addition, all dogs had hollow steel coils placed around their vagus nerves. The CONT dogs were used for a single study in which their coils were perfused wit...
