    摘要: A method includes a first electrode exhibiting a first Seebeck coefficient, a second electrode exhibiting a second Seebeck coefficient greater than the first Seebeck coefficient, and particles between the first and second electrodes exhibiting a third Seebeck coefficient between the first and second Seebeck coefficients. Heat is generated due to the Peltier effect at a junction between the first electrode and the particles and at a junction between the second electrode and the particles. Heat is removed due to the Peltier effect at the junction between the first electrode and the particles and at the junction between the second electrode and the particles. The particles are densified due to heating and cooling phase transitions between a higher-temperature solid phase and a lower-temperature solid phase while compressing the particles. An apparatus includes the first and second electrodes and an alternating current power supply electrically connected to the first and second electrodes.

    摘要: Provided is a cooling device, and methods of fabricating and operating such cooling devices, for electromagnetic induction (EMI) filters. Specifically, a cooling device is provided which comprises a housing enclosing the electromagnetic induction filter. The housing may comprise one or more of the following: one or more exterior chambers, one or more central flow channels, and peripheral flow channels. The one or more exterior chambers surround an exterior surface of the EMI filter. The one or more central flow channels extend the length of the center of the EMI filter. The peripheral flow channels extend the length of the exterior of the electromagnetic induction filter. The peripheral flow channels may be disposed between one or more exterior chambers and open into the one or more exterior chambers. The one or more central flow channels, the peripheral flow channels, and the one or more exterior chambers are interconnected.

    摘要: Provided is a low-weight, high-efficiency inductor design for use with or in electrical power equipment, such as inverters. A toroidal power inductor includes a support structure comprising an outer shell, an inner shell, and one or more coolant channels formed therebetween, a plurality of conductors wrapped around and supported by an exterior surface of the outer shell, and an interior cavity substantially enclosed by the inner shell of the toroidal support structure. The plurality of conductors are configured to provide an inductance for the toroidal power inductor, and the one or more coolant channels are distributed beneath the exterior surface of the outer shell to cool the plurality of conductors. An air-core power inductor may implement the conductors using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes cooled by cryogenic fluid flowing within the coolant channels.

    摘要: A system and method for locating an object within a structure includes a magnetically-responsive member coupled to the object. A magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field in the presence of the structure. The generated magnetic field causes the magnetically-responsive member to output a signal when the magnetically-responsive member is in the presence of the magnetic field. A detector may include a sensor coupled to a control unit. The sensor detects the signal output by the magnetically-responsive member. The control unit locates the object based on detection of a third harmonic of the signal.

    摘要: An induction heating system employs a ferromagnetic susceptor mounted proximate an exterior of flight surface of an aircraft. At least one electrically conductive coil is mounted proximate the ferromagnetic susceptor. The at least one electrically conductive coil is powered by a first power source with a first frequency. At least one compensating coil is mounted proximate the ferromagnetic susceptor having a geometry determined to provide substantially net-zero flux with respect to the at least one electrically conductive coil and positioned to induce induction heating where the first plurality of electrically conductive coils lacks induced inductive heating coverage. The at least one compensating coils is powered by a second AC power source with a second frequency.
