Abstract—This paper discusses the problem of choosing an appropriate direction of the test dipole used in linear sampling for the 2-dimensional inverse scattering problem of the transverse electric case. In particular, we propose two approaches, one purely mathematical and the other based on the physics theory of multipole expansion of the scattered magnetic field. It is shown that though the a...

Electric vehicles are considered the automobile technology in the future. However, consumers are not willing to purchase electric vehicles in China. Thus, it is necessary to analyze key factors influencing the willingness to purchase electric vehicles. This paper applies the chi-square test and a binary logistic regression model based on the questionnaires of 1057 Chinese online consumers. The ...

The functional effectiveness of a myo-electric prosthesis with sensory feedback compared with that of a split-hook is described. Thirty independent observations were made on a single subject with a right below-elbow amputation wearing the myo-electric prosthesis and the split-hook prosthesis. Using a first order autoregressive model for making inferences about the two sets of data, the split-ho...

The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is unusual among electric fishes because it has three pairs of electric organs that serve multiple biological functions: For navigation and communication, it emits continuous pulses of weak electric discharge (<1 V), but for predation and defense, it intermittently emits lethal strong electric discharges (10 to 600 V). We hypothesized that these two e...

The HEV test bench based on Controller Area Network bus was studied and developed. Control system of HEV power test bench used the CAN bus technology. The application of CAN bus technology on control system development has opened up a new research direction for domestic automobile experimental platform. The HEV power control system development work was completed, including power master controll...

Electric machine is one of key parts in hybrid electric vehicles which affect dynamical and fuel consumption features and is the kernel to realize all kinds of strategy. Induction motor, PM synchronous motor, brushless DC motor, and switched reluctance motor are all applied in HEV. Traction motors for HEV are different from motors applied in industry. Load changes frequently and widely. Charact...

In 2001, Power Electronics and Electric Machines program was fully developed in electrical and computer engineering department at Cleveland State University. To support newly developed curriculum, state of the art Power Electronics and Electric Machines Laboratory has been established. This effort has been supported by National Science Foundation (award # 0410912), Nasa Glen Research Center and...
