Guo Bochao,Zhao Yubo,Chen Wei,Guo Ni,Tian Zijian 한국전자파학회 2023 Journal of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science Vol.23 No.2

Achieving stable power transfer by merely relying on quasi-omnidirectional couplers is challenging. In this paper, we propose a quasi-omnidirectional wireless power transfer (QWPT) system with a novel curved-coil transmitter to achieve steady transmission performance. A single power source is used to drive the transmitter's current without using a phase and current control methodology. Power is transmitted to the receiver through magnetic resonant coupling at a distance of 50 mm. Moreover, an equivalent circuit model of the curved-coil system is derived and mathematically analyzed. The mutual inductance of the proposed QWPT system is evaluated through analysis and experiments. The experimental results for the resonant coupling system confirm the theoretical analysis of the performance of the curved-coil transmitter and quasi-omnidirectional power transfer.

Objective: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a diagnostic tool that provides precise and reproducible information about cardiac structure, function, and tissue characterization, aiding in the monitoring of chemotherapy response in patients with lightchain cardiac amyloidosis (AL-CA). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of CMR in monitoring responses to chemotherapy in patients with AL-CA. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, we enrolled 111 patients with AL-CA (50.5% male; median age, 54 [interquartile range, 49–63] years). Patients underwent longitudinal monitoring using biomarkers and CMR imaging. At followup after chemotherapy, patients were categorized into superior and inferior response groups based on their hematological and cardiac laboratory responses to chemotherapy. Changes in CMR findings across therapies and differences between response groups were analyzed. Results: Following chemotherapy (before vs. after), there were significant increases in myocardial T2 (43.6 ± 3.5 ms vs. 44.6 ± 4.1 ms; P = 0.008), recovery in right ventricular (RV) longitudinal strain (median of -9.6% vs. -11.7%; P = 0.031), and decrease in RV extracellular volume fraction (ECV) (median of 53.9% vs. 51.6%; P = 0.048). These changes were more pronounced in the superior-response group. Patients with superior cardiac laboratory response showed significantly greater reductions in RV ECV (-2.9% [interquartile range, -8.7%–1.1%] vs. 1.7% [-5.5%–7.1%]; P = 0.017) and left ventricular ECV (-2.0% [-6.0%–1.3%] vs. 2.0% [-3.0%–5.0%]; P = 0.01) compared with those with inferior response. Conclusion: Cardiac amyloid deposition can regress following chemotherapy in patients with AL-CA, particularly showing more prominent regression, possibly earlier, in the RV. CMR emerges as an effective tool for monitoring associated tissue characteristics and ventricular functional recovery in patients with AL-CA undergoing chemotherapy, thereby supporting its utility in treatment response assessment.

Free vibration analysis for continuous bridge under any number of vehicles is conducted in this paper. Calculation strategy for natural frequency and mode shape is proposed based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and numerical assembly method. Firstly, a half-car planar model is adopted; equations of motion and displacement functions for bridge and vehicle are established, respectively. Secondly, the undermined coefficient matrices for wheels, vehicles, intermediate support, left-end support and right-end support are derived. Then, the numerical assembly technique for conventional finite element method is adopted to construct the overall matrix of coefficients for whole system. Finally, natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are determined based on iterative method and overall matrix solution. Numerical simulation is presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results reveal that the solutions of present method are exact ones. Natural frequencies and associate modal shapes of continuous bridge under different conditions of vehicles are investigated. The influences of vehicle parameters on natural frequencies are also demonstrated.

Guo Bochao,Zhao Yubo,Chen Wei,Pan Shan,Tian Zijian 대한전기학회 2024 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.19 No.3

Reducing the weak transmission area (WTA) of omnidirectional transmitter in wireless power transfer is a challenge. In this paper, we propose a method to enhance the WTA with nonorthogonal coils, and two types of transmitters are made, the 90° sandglass Tx and the 20° sandglass Tx. Specifcally, a single power source is utilized to drive the current of Tx without phase and current control methodology. Power is transmitted to the receiver through magnetic resonant coupling in 50 mm. In addition, an equivalent circuit model of the sandglass Tx system is derived and mathematically analyzed. The magnetic induction density of the sandglass Tx system is evaluated via analysis and experiments. Finally, practical experimental results from the resonant coupling system confrm the theoretical analysis.

An innovative horizontal continuous casting method was developed and successfully used to prepare copper-cladaluminum (CCA) rods with a diameter of 85 mm and a sheath thickness of 16 mm. The solidification structure andelement distribution near the interface of the CCA ingots were investigated by means of a scanning electron microscope,an energy dispersive spectrometer, and an electron probe X-ray microanalyzer. The results showed that theproposed process can lead to a good metallurgical bond between Cu and Al. The interface between Cu and Al wasa multilayered structure with a thickness of 200 μm, consisting of Cu9Al4, CuAl2, α-Al/CuAl2 eutectic, and α-Al +α-Al/CuAl2 eutectic layers from the Cu side to the Al side. The mean tensile-shear strength of the CCA sample was45 MPa, which fulfills the requirements for the further extrusion process. The bonding and diffusion mechanismsare also discussed in this paper.
