Structural brain imaging has continuously furthered our knowledge how different pathways of the human motor system contribute to residual motor output in stroke patients. Tract-related microstructure of pathways between primary and premotor areas has been ...
This paper proposes a methodology for computationally-efficient estimation of the local E-field maximums within the transformer winding insulation material for design optimization purposes, where besides the estimation accuracy, the computational cost repr ...
Optimization-based controllers are advanced control systems whose mechanism of determining control inputs requires the solution of a mathematical optimization problem. In this thesis, several contributions related to the computational effort required for o ...
A stick-slip/inchworm hybrid rotary piezomotor based on a symmetric triangular driving mechanism, which can simultaneously achieve the benefits of both stick-slip and inchworm motors, was reported in this letter. It is based on the principle of stick-slip ...
The intrinsic characteristic of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is defined by its internal dimensions, its material properties, as well as the power supply used in conjunction with the motor. When an extended operating range is desired but the electro ...
The current framework of high penetration of intermittent energy sources requires variable-speed pumped hydro storage power plants (PHSPs) to provide grid support functions, which are, in this case, achieved through two technologies: doubly-fed induction m ...
Material costs and novel applications have directed research interests towards miniaturized, faster rotatory electric drives. The challenges of miniaturization have made magnetic bearings more attractive, which are naturally suited for high speeds and virt ...
Vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) are widely used for medium voltage applications when low maintenance, long operating life, and large number of allowable switching cycles are required. The accurate estimation of the transient recovery voltages (TRVs) associa ...
To understand neural circuits that control limbs, one must measure their activity during behavior. Until now this goal has been challenging, because limb premotor and motor circuits have been largely inaccessible for large-scale recordings in intact, movin ...
High power variable speed drives play a major role in many industrial applications. At the moment, these high power loads are supplied by the source (grid/generator) through the state-of-the-art MVAC power distribution network. The voltage levels, in these ...
