Evaluation of partial discharge in inverter driven medium voltage propulsion coilsRamme, Andr�� 25 July 2003 (has links)
Advancements in power electronics to higher power levels and faster switching times
allow new machine and systems designs, but also create higher stresses on electric
machinery insulation. High performance, pulse-width modulated (PWM) inverters are
now available for medium voltage drive systems, and are being considered by the U.S.
Navy as they move to the "all-electric" ship. If this process is to be successful, a
necessary component will be to understand the impact of partial discharge (PD)
generation on electric drive systems.
Out of the many PD influencing parameters, voltage level, voltage rise-time,
switching frequency, and temperature were chosen to be investigated with regards to their
influence on PD generation in a comprehensive research project in the Motor Systems
Research Facility (MSRF) at Oregon State University (OSU). The tests were performed
on representative propulsion coils employing two different 4160 V insulation systems
and were evaluated by both an optical and electrical PD detection method.
A highly flexible test configuration was developed, capable of adjusting each of the
four test parameters independently over a wide range of appropriate values. The
developed test program enabled the analysis of the influence of the parameters on the
generation of PD, as well as an evaluation of the test coils and PD instrumentation used.
It is concluded that, as expected, voltage level is the most significant parameter
affecting PD production. However, there is a surprising interdependence of rise-time and
pulse-width that requires further investigation. Multiple-cycling tests are seen as
appropriate to determine the effect of temperature.
Based on the subjective nature of the findings from the test program an improved PD
instrument is proposed, which would increase the capabilities and objectivity of the PD
detection process. / Graduation date: 2004

The quantitative comparison of doing eddy current correction before and after combination for 1H MRS using phased array coils with LCModelLiu, Ju-feng 27 July 2010 (has links)
Phased array coils are composed of several surface coils receiving individual element signals simultaneously. Each individual surface coil provides the equivalent of the coil diameter range, and higher SNR. Therefore, combining these non-interactive phased array coils, can achieve a wide range of scan areas, uniform sensitivity and better SNR.
Therefore our experiment was performed with two different coils of quadrature coil and phased array coil. Phased array MRS data were compared using various combination approaches. Data acquired by quadrature coil was regarded as a standard to verify the reliability and accuracy of metabolite concentration.
The aim of our study is to do eddy current correction before and after the combination of each element coil data with LCModel analysis for quantitative comparison of metabolite concentrations. Our result shows that doing eddy current correction for each phased array coil before signal combination can achieve higher reliability and accuracy of SNR and quantitative concentrations of MR spectra in vivo.

A study of array snr and coupling as a function of the input impedance of preamplifierShah, Bijay Kamleshbhai 15 May 2009 (has links)
Much of the current research in magnetic resonance engineering focuses on
reducing the acquisition time for obtaining an image while simultaneously maximizing
the Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) of the image. It is known that improvement in imaging
time or resolution is obtained at the cost of SNR. Therefore wherever possible, RF coil
engineers design the coil in such a manner so as to maximize SNR for that coil design. In
one such design consideration, most coil designers prefer placing low impedance preamplifiers
near the coil. The further the pre-amplifiers are from the coil, the greater will
be the signal loss due to transmission and higher will be its input impedance as perceived
at the coil which would degrade inter-coil isolation. Owing to the current trend of using
increasing number of receiver channels (32, 64 or 128) for parallel imaging, placing the
preamplifiers near the coil would greatly complicate the coil construction.
The primary objective of this research was to find the relation between SNR and
referred preamp impedance and whether preamps need to be placed on the coil, or if they
can be placed outside the magnet at the end of a transmission line which would simplify
the construction of large count array. In addition, SNR was studied as a function of coil
design parameters - coil loading, array coil separation, and system frequency. Both
theoretical and experimental methods were used to undertake this investigation. A
popular electromagnetic modeling technique, finite difference time domain (FDTD), was used to model SNR in arrays of two 3 inch loop coils at 3T and 1.5T. Results were also
verified through bench measurement at 3T and 1.5T and by evaluating SNR. To verify
the robustness of our results and to assess the possibility of using low cost standard 50
ohm preamps, we carried out additional bench measurements at 4.7T. Results
demonstrated that preamplifier placement is critical at low field strength. At higher field
strength, SNR degradation due to preamplifier placement was less owing to heavier coil
loading.

Geometry Of Alpha And Beta Protein StructuresShah, Aalok K. January 2015 (has links)
Proteins have a wide array of essential functions: from serving as enzymatic catalysts to protecting the immune system as antibodies. Proteins spontaneously self-organize into specific, folded structures determined by their amino acid sequences and the interaction between molecular forces. Since the 3-dimensional structure into which they fold often relates to the specific function of the protein, much effort has been directed towards methods to predict the folded structure from a given sequence, with the hope of being able to understand protein functions from sequence information. The protein folding problem can be summarized as the attempt to understand the relationship between a protein sequence and a protein's geometric shape, or fold. Thus, there are two principal problems: given a sequence, what 3-dimensional form will the protein take (forward problem), and given a particular fold, what sequence or sequences code for that form (the inverse problem). In this work, models that represent folds as continuous structures are explored. Models of the two prevalent motifs in protein folds, α helices and β barrels, are developed using axially deformed tubes and surfaces of revolution. These models are then analyzed and used to develop coordinate models of known and unknown structures.

Coil Design and Related Studies for the Fusion-Fission Reactor Concept SFLM HybridHagnestål, Anders January 2012 (has links)
A fusion-fission (hybrid) reactor is a combination of a fusion device and a subcritical fission reactor, where the fusion device acts as a neutron source and the power is mainly produced in the fission core. Hybrid reactors may be suitable for transmutation of transuranic isotopes in the spent nuclear fuel, due to the safety margin on criticality imposed by the subcritical fission core. The SFLM Hybrid project is a theoretical project that aims to point out the possibilities with steady-state mirror-based hybrid reactors. The quadrupolar magnetic mirror vacuum field is based on the Straight Field Line Mirror field and the central cell is 25 m long. A fission mantle surrounds the mirror cell. The fission to fusion power ratio is about 150 with keff = 0.97, implying that almost all the produced energy comes from fission. Beyond each mirror end magnetic expanders are located, which increase the plasma receiving “divertor” area and provide tolerable heat load on wall materials. The plasma is heated with ion cyclotron radio frequency heating and the fission mantle is cooled using a liquid lead-bismuth eutectic. The device is self-sufficient in tritium, and does not seem to suffer from severe material problems. A remaining issue may be the plasma electron temperature, which need to reach about 500 eV for efficient power production. In this doctoral thesis, theoretical work has been done with the magnetic coil system of such a device and also with the overall concept. A new coil type, the fishbone coil, suitable for single cell quadrupolar mirrors, has been invented. Two vacuum field coil sets with satisfying properties have been found, where the most recent coil set consists of fishbone coils. Finite ß effects on the magnetic field have been investigated, showing that the flux tube ellipticity increases with ß. The ellipticity of the vacuum field increases slightly with radius, but with finite ß it decreases with radius. The maximum flux surface radial extensions decrease with ß, which is an unexpected and beneficial result. A radial invariant has also been identified, and particle simulations have been made to emphasize that quadrupolar mirrors must be symmetric or confinement may be lost.
