This paper presented an improved analytical method for calculating the open-circuit magnetic field in the surface-mounted permanent magnet machines accounting for slots and eccentric magnet pole. Magnetic field produced by radial and parallel permanent magnet is equivalent to that produced by surface current according to equivalent surface-current method of permanent magnet. The model is divide...

This paper analyzed the effect of temperature on the permanent magnet flux and output torque. The major parameter which will impact the torque control accuracy of a surface mounted permanent magnet motor is the variation of the permanent magnet temperature. In addition, the temperature variation of the permanent magnet will also influence the maximum torque per ampere of the motor. To analyze t...

we present a case of caustic ingestion by a 1.5-year-old boy. the caustic agent was drain opener which is a strong alkaline substance. children in iran and many other countries are still exposed to not “child proof” (child resistant packaging) toxic substance containers. ingestion of caustic agents may lead to necrosis, perforation, and strictures. substances that are ingested more frequently a...

background the purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics, management, and outcomes of disc battery ingestion in children. methods we reviewed the medical records of children admitted to mofid children's hospital due to disc battery ingestion from january 2006 to january 2010. clear history, clinical symptoms and results of imaging studies revealed diagnosis of disc battery inges...

in this paper, the optimal design of a three phase surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor has been done by particle swarm optimization and bees algorithm. this machine has been designed for high speed applications, and an epoxy and glass fiber bandage is used for permanent magnet protection against centrifugal forces. the optimization has been done by new design equations to improve...

The Gyro centrifugal pump, developed as a totally implantable artificial heart, was designed with a free impeller in which the rotational shaft (male bearing) of the impeller was completely separated from the female bearing. For this type of pump, it is very important to keep the proper magnet balance (impeller-magnet and actuator-magnet balance) to prevent thrombus formation or bearing wear. W...

The relationships between hospital Magnet® status, nursing unit staffing, and patient falls were examined in a cross-sectional study using 2004 National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI®) data from 5,388 units in 108 Magnet and 528 non-Magnet hospitals. In multivariate models, the fall rate was 5% lower in Magnet than non-Magnet hospitals. An additional registered nurse (RN) hour p...
