High-Tc dc-SQUID magnetometer and its application in eddy current non-destructive evaluation

We have fabricated and tested a high-T_c dc-SQUID magnetometer patterned on a YBCO thin film deposited on a SrTiO₃ bicrystal substrate. The measurement of noise spectrum at 77 K showed that the magnetometer has a white noise of 333 fT/Hz^1/2 without superconducting shield, corresponding to a flux sensitivity of 14.5 μΦ₀/Hz^1/2. We constructed a test system for eddy current non-destructive evaluation of conducting aluminum plates by using the magnetometer. Flaws over 10 mm below the surface can be clearly identified. By mapping the magnetic field distribution, we can locate the flaw position. The signals caused by flaw were expanded due to the use of double-D type driving coil with a wider central slit. The experimental results confirmed that this test system could operate in a magnetic unshielded environment.

一种探测二维电磁目标的新方法

电磁目标的探测对通信而言有着十分重要的意义。本文描述一种收敛迅速、结果准确、抗强随机噪声的探测二维电磁目标的新方法。首先从体等效原理出发得到一个积分方程组，此方程组可求解散射问题。随后，对此方程组求变分，变形后得到散射场变化与介电参数变化之间关系的矩阵方程，即反演方程。文中列举了几个例子，通过数值实验结果证明本法收敛速度快、反演精度高、适应复杂目标的能力强，能抗强随机噪声干扰     

Circulating angiotensin II and renal sodium handling in man: a dose-response study

1. Animal studies have shown that angiotensin II has a biphasic effect on urinary sodium excretion. To examine whether this is also true in man, we studied seven salt-replete male subjects in a single-blind placebo-controlled manner. 2. While undergoing maximum diuresis, subjects were infused with 0, 1, 2, 5 or 10 ng of angiotensin II min-1 kg-1 over 80 min. Subjects were studied while seated, and stood every 20 min for urine collection. 3. Angiotensin II produced a dose-dependent antidiuretic effect. The urine flow rate, in ml/min expressed as the change from baseline with increasing dose of angiotensin, was: +3.4 +/- 1.77, -1.26 +/- 0.49 (P < 0.05), -2.75 +/- 1.23 (P < 0.05), -4.21 +/- 0.82 (P < 0.05) and -6.51 +/- 1.07 (P < 0.01). 4. In contrast, the effect of angiotensin II on sodium excretion showed a flat dose-response curve beyond 5 ng min-1 kg-1. The urinary sodium excretion, in mumol/min expressed as the change from baseline with increasing dose of angiotensin, was: 9.5 +/- 21.2, -18.9 +/- 29.6, -37.0 +/- 11.6 (P < 0.05), -67.7 +/- 19.6 (P < 0.01) and -63.8 +/- 14.3 (P < 0.01). 5. The fractional distal reabsorption of sodium, determined by using the lithium clearance technique, showed a rise with all doses of angiotensin II used and reached statistical significance with the top two doses. 6. Unlike antidiuresis, antinatriuresis after graded doses of angiotensin II in human subjects showed a flat dose-response curve beyond 5 ng min-1 kg-1. Pressor doses of angiotensin II also have a significant effect on the distal tubule in promoting sodium reabsorption.     

Mesh network resiliency using GMPLS

The generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) is being developed as the control plane for the evolving photonic network. We describe how GMPLS can be used with mesh networks to provide efficient network resiliency. In particular we examine the key aspects of GMPLS that are used to support protection and restoration. We also study the various protection and restoration techniques, and we highlight the tradeoffs between recovery time and resource redundancy     

Magnetic induction micromachine-part I: Design and analysis

Most microscale electric and magnetic machines studied in the last decade lack the power density to support many practical applications. This paper introduces a design for a magnetic induction machine that offers power densities in excess of 200 MW/m/sup 3/ and efficiencies of up to 50%, while providing more than 10 W of mechanical power. This is a substantial performance increase in MEMS electromagnetic machines studied to date.     

A 16-Mbit/s adapter chip for the IBM token-ring local area network

The authors describe a 9.02×9.02-mm chip built in 1-μm CMOS with two levels of metal and an additional mask level for fabricating capacitors. It contains both analog and digital circuits and has provisions for self-test. The function includes the transmitter, receiver, protocol handler, an microprocessor, as well as interfaces for RAM/ROM storage, IBM PC bus, IBM PS/2 bus, IBM 3174 bus, and Motorola 68000 bus. The physical design terrains are formed by 24K circuits of standard cell gates, a 10K-circuit equivalent hand-honed custom microprocessor, and an analog macro. The chip operates from a single 5-V supply, and the power consumption is 0.8 W nominal at 16 Mb/s. The chip can also be operated at 4 Mb/s
