A defect detection test was performed for a conductor using a amorphous wire sensor head. A uniform magnetic field was applied in the space between the most inner conductors of a spiral-typed coil. The conductor with a defect was placed on the space between the most inner conductors of spiral-typed coil. The defect can be detected from the differences of induced voltage measured in the vicinity of gap of the conductor. The induced voltage difference of 2.5mV was measured in the gap vicinity of the 1mm thick conductor having 0.5mm gap in the frequency region of 100kHz~600kHz.

The slotless Permanent-Magnet Linear Synchronous Motors (PMLSM) have been developed for factory automation, transportation applications, wafer steppers, conveyance system, and so on. The current analysis and design are treated in air-cored PMLSM. This paper presents a design and analysis solutions for the general class of iron-cored Permanent magnet Linear Synchronous motor (PMLSM). In our design and analysis, rotor consisting of permanent magnets and slot less iron-cored coil stator are treated in a uniform way via vector potiential. For one such motor structure we give analytical formulas for its magnetic field, opitimal permanent magnet and winding coil thickness, trust force. We also provide comparisons of three types in Halbach, vertical, and horizontal magnet array.

In this paper, we analyzed the electric/magnetic field distribution and SAR distribution in a human body due to the resonant-type wireless power transfer(WPT) system with an operating frequency of 6.78 MHz. To analyze the field distribution under the unperturbed condition, a prototype system was fabricated and the measured results were compared with the simulation results. For safety during measurement, the available power to the transmitter coil is limited to 1 W. To analyze the induced current density and SAR distribution, a simple human model consisting of three layers, skin, fat, and muscle, was used for the simulation. The electromagnetic wave exposure levels obtained through measurement and simulation were compared with the recommended levels by the ICNIRP.

Toroidal cores made of metallic powder requires large magnetic field strength up to few decade kA/m to obtain major hysteresis loop. To overcome thermal heat generation problem from large exciting current during measurement, we have employed a real time hysteresis loop tracer which can digitize and calculate B-H signals in personal computer as real time. For example, when we magnetize specimen at 10 Hz frequency, we could display hysteresis loops 10 times per second. Using the real time hysteresis loop tracer, we could measure major hysteresis loop of toroidal shape metallic powder core at maximum flux density or maximum magnetic field strength to be measured within 5 second not to significant increasement of specimen temperature due to the heat dissipation from coil windings. For the constructed hysteresis loop tracer, we could measure hysteresis loop at magnetic field strength higher than 50 kA/m for the toroidal shape specimen.

In this work, a transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS) experiment on animals is performed to stimulate the brain cortex of the mouse using modulated signals. The proposed TMS system is composed of the inverter, transformer, capacitor, variable inductor, and stimulation coil to generate 1.5 mT magnetic field in the brain cortex of the mouse. The stimulation signal is modulated to square wave where the carrier frequency is swept from 85 to 91 kHz to investigate the stimulation effect. The experimental result shows that when the carrier frequency of the stimulation signal is lower than 89 kHz, the reaction of the mouse does not change while the stimulation signal which has the carrier frequency higher than 89 kHz results in decreasing the threshold of the stimulus for the pressure.

In the future battlefield, the role of the unmanned vehicle is very important. Currently, charging and management systems for unmanned vehicles are all wired. However, for convenience and stability, it is desirable that the charging of the unmanned vehicle uses wireless power transfer system. In this paper, we have studied the application of wireless power transfer system to the charging of unmanned vehicles. Considering the size of the unmanned vehicle and the required power, the transmission coil and the receiving coil are designed through the finite element analysis based magnetic field simulation. The coil was made according to the simulation results and the circuit simulation was performed through the measured parameter values. Finally, we show that wireless power transmission can be applied to unmanned mobile charging through actual experiments.

A 40-channel superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) system was constructed for measuring neuromagnetic fields. Main features of the system are the use of double relaxation oscillation SQUIDs (DROSs), and planar gradiometers measuring magnetic field components tangential to the head surface. The DROSs with high flux-to-voltage transfers enabled direct readout of the SQUID output by room-temperature dc preamplifiers and simple flux-locked loop circuits could be used for SQUID operation. The pickup coil is an integrated first-order planar gradiometer with a baseline of 40 mm. Average noise level of the 40 channels is around 1.2 $fT/cm/{\surd}Hz$ at 100 Hz, corresponding to a field noise of 5 $fT/{\surd}Hz$, operated inside a magnetically shielded room. The SQUID insert was designed to have low thermal load, minimizing the loss of liquid helium. The constructed system was applied to measure auditory-evoked neuromagnetic fields.

A superconducting CICC (Cable-In-Conduit-Conductor) is adopted the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) superconducting magnet system which consists of 16 TF coils and 14 PF coils. For the test of KSTAR CICC, an ambient magnetic field of $\pm$ 8 T With a maximum change rate of 20 T/s is required and a background-field magnet system is being developed for SSTF (Samsung Superconductor Test Facility). The CICC for PF1~5 is used as the conductor for background-field coils to check the validity of the PF CICC design. Two pieces of cables have been fabricated and the cable has the length of 870 m and the diameter of 20.3 mm. A continuous CICC jacketing system is developed for the KSTAR CICC fabrication and the jacketing system uses the tube-mill process, which consists of forming, welding, sizing and squaring procedures. The design specification of CICCs and the fabrication process is described.

In recent, there have been several developments in lamp technology that promise savings in electrical power consumption and improved quality of the lighting space. Above all, the advantage of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp is the removal of internal electrodes and heating filaments that are a light-limiting factor of conventional fluorescent lamps. The ring-shaped electrodeless lamp is intended as a high efficacy replacement for the incandescent reflector lamp in many applications. Therefore, the life time of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamps is substantially higher than that of conventional fluorescent lamps and last up to 60,000 hours. In this paper, maxwell 3D finite element analysis program (Ansoft) was used to obtain electromagnetic properties associated with the coil and nearby structures. The electromagnetic emitting properties were presented by 3D simulation software operated at 250[kHz] and some specific conditions.

Metal films (i.e., Ti, Al and SUH310S) were prepared in a magnetron sputtering apparatus, and their cross-sectional structures were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The apparatus used consisted of a cylindrical metal target which was electrically grounded, and two anode rings attached to the top and to the bottom of the target. A wire was placed along the center-line of the cylindrical target to provide a substrate. When the electrical potential of the substrate was varied, the metal-film formation rate depended on both the discharge voltage and the electrical potential of the substrate. As we made the magnetic field stronger, the plasma which appeared near the target collected on the plasma wall surface and thereby decreased the bias current. The bias current on the conducting wire was different from that for cation collection. The bias current decreased because the collection of cations decreased when we increased the magnetic-coil current. When the substrate was electrically isolated, the films deposited showed a slightly coarse columnar structure with thin voids between adjacent columns. In contrast, in the case of the grounded substrate, the deposited film did not show any clear columns but instead, showed a densely-packed granular structure. No peeling region was observed between the film and substrate, indicating good adhesion.
