whereas in electrical discharge machining (edm) the heat flux entering the workpiece is extremely high, the fourier heat conduction model may fails. this article reports on determination of temperature distribution in the workpiece due to edm using non-fourier heat conduction model. equations are solved by deriving the numerical solution. the temperature layers and profiles of sample calculatio...

Electron cascades from electrical discharge produce secondary emissions from atmospheric plasma in the ultraviolet band. For a single point of discharge, these emissions exhibit a stereotypical discharge morphology, with latent information about the discharge location. Morphological processing can uncover the location and therefore have diagnostic utility.

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a special form of traditional electrical discharge machining in which the electrode is a continuously moving conducting wire. The mechanism of metal removal in wire electrical discharge machining involves the complex erosion effect from electric sparks generated by a pulsating direct current power supply. The sparks generated between two closely spa...

Reductions in right prefrontal cerebral blood flow have been correlated with symptomatic improvement in depressed individuals receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Non-invasive near infrared spectroscopy has previously been shown to reliably measure changes in cerebral hemoglobin concentrations and oxygen saturation. In this study, we measured the concentration and oxygen saturation of hem...

A theoretical analysis of the circuits for a nitrogen laser driven by the Blumlein or capacitor charge transfer transmission line is given in detail. The electrical characteristics of the charge line for a special case of resonant charging are discussed and the effects of various parameters on voltage and current are investigated. By using MICRO-CAP software the transient behavior of the curren...

Transthoracic synchronized direct current discharge or cardioversion was introduced nearly 25 years ago to restore sinus rhythm in patients with diverse tachyarrhythmias (I). This simple, expeditious and nearly complication-freemethod has withstood the test of time. The likelihood of serious adverse reactions is related more to the underlying mechanism being treated than to the electrical disch...

Partial discharge monitoring is an effective on-line predictive maintenance test for motors and generators, as well as other electrical distribution equipment. The benefits of on-line testing allow for equipment analysis and diagnostics during normal production. Corrective actions can be planned and implemented, resulting in reduced unscheduled downtime. This paper will present a theory to prom...
