An experimental superconducting magnetic system with an adjustable winding inductance and a 5 MJ energy capacity

An experimental superconducting magnetic system (MS) with an energy capacity of 5 MJ and an output power of no less than 130 MW is described. The MS winding is sectioned in the axial and radial directions. Owing to sectioning in radial direction, the MS may be used as an adjustable inductance enabling the stabilization of the amperage. The adjustable inductance may also be used as an efficient instrument for leveling the ratio of the active and reactive power in electric mains intended for different purposes (transport, energy industry, and emergency systems).     

Complete analysis of ionic staining of glasses by transition-metal compounds

The data on the ionic staining of glasses are analyzed from the standpoint of ligand field theory. New information is added to the existing information on the staining of glasses by transition-metal compounds. Data on the structure of glass-forming melts and the conditions for the formation of staining complexes are presented. A possible mechanism for amber staining in glasses is discussed. __________ Translated from Steklo i Keramika, No. 5, pp. 7–12, May, 2007.

Calculating the response of sensitive elements based on wave delay devices

A method of calculating the response of sensitive elements based on wave delay devices is described using as an example a gauge for measuring the diameter of holes in metal objects. The efficiency of a sensitive element consisting a cylindrical helix with a longitudinally conducting shield is demonstrated.

Metrology-cybernetics-control: A new approach

As a science and as a special activity concerned with measurements, the science of metrology pursues a classical, orthodox purpose, mainly involving the measurement of physical quantities. The term “measurement” is now applied also to social, economic, medical, and other disciplines, including cybernetics and problems of management and control. Translated from Izmeritel'naya Tekhnika, No. 7, pp. 17–20, July, 1996.
