Effect of power frequency excitation character on ferroresonance in neutral-grounded system

In most earlier ferroresonance studies the traditional excitation characteristic of iron core, in which the traditional excitation characteristic contains harmonic voltages or currents, has been used as if it were made up of pure fundamental voltage or current. However, this is not always true. In comparison with traditional excitation characteristics, this paper introduces the power frequency excitation characteristic of the iron core, which contains no harmonics. The power frequency excitation characteristic of iron core has been obtained by Elector Magnetic Transient Program, resulting in discrete voltage and current pairs. Extensive simulations are carried out to analyse the effect of power frequency excitation characteristic on potential transformer ferroresonance. A detailed analysis of simulation results demonstrates that with power frequency excitation characteristic of iron core inclusion at certain excitation voltage the ferroresonance may happen, conversely it may not happen with traditional excitation characteristic inclusion.

Analysis on Pseudo Excitation of Random Vibration for Structure of Time Flight Counter

Traditional computing method is inefficient for getting key dynamical parameters of complicated structure.Pseudo Excitation Method（PEM）is an effective method for calculation of random vibration.Due to complicated and coupling random vibration in rocket or shuttle launching,the new staging white noise mathematical model is deduced according to the practical launch environment.This deduced model is applied for PEM to calculate the specific structure of Time of Flight Counter（ToFC）.The responses of power spectral density and the relevant dynamic characteristic parameters of ToFC are obtained in terms of the flight acceptance test level.Considering stiffness of fixture structure,the random vibration experiments are conducted in three directions to compare with the revised PEM.The experimental results show the structure can bear the random vibration caused by launch without any damage and key dynamical parameters of ToFC are obtained.The revised PEM is similar with random vibration experiment in dynamical parameters and responses are proved by comparative results.The maximum error is within 9%.The reasons of errors are analyzed to improve reliability of calculation.This research provides an effective method for solutions of computing dynamical characteristic parameters of complicated structure in the process of rocket or shuttle launching.

Ultra-stable near-infrared Tm^(3+)-doped upconversion nanoparticles for in vivo wide-field two-photon angiography with a low excitation intensity

Two-photon luminescence with near-infrared(NIR)excitation of upconversion nanoparticles(NPs)is of great importance in biological imaging due to deep penetration in high-scattering tissues,low auto-luminescence and good sectioning ability.Unfortunately,common two-photon luminescence is in visible band with an extremely high exciation power density,which limits its application.Here,we synthesized NaYF_(4):Yb/Tm@NaYF_(4)upconversion NPs with strong twophoton NIR emission and a low excitation power density.Furthermore,NaYF_(4):Yb/Tm@NaYF_(4)@SiO_(2)@OTMS@F127 NPs with high chemical stability were obtained by a modified multilayer coating method which was applied to upconversion NPs for thefirst time.In addition,it is shown that the as-prepared hydrophillic upconversion NPs have great biocompatibility and kept stable for 6 hours during in vivo whole-body imaging.The vessels with two-photon luminescence were clear even under an excitation power density as low as 25mW/cm^(2).Vivid visualizations of capillaries and vessels in a mouse brain were also obtained with low background and high contrast.Because of cheaper instruments and safer power density,the NIR two-photon luminescence of NaYF_(4):Yb/Tm@NaYF_(4)upconversion NPs could promote wider application of two-photon technology.The modified multilayer coating method could be widely used for upconversion NPs to increase the stable time of the in vivo circulation.Our work possesses a great potential for deep imaging and imaging-guided treatment in the future.

Multiband emission from single β-NaYF_(4)(Yb,Er) nanoparticles at high excitation power densities and comparison to ensemble studies

Ensemble and single particle studies of the excitation power density (P)-dependent upconversion luminescence (UCL) of core and core-shell β-NaYF_(4):Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) doped with 20% Yb^(3+) and 1% or 3% Er^(^(3+)) performed over a P regime of 6 orders of magnitude reveal an increasing contribution of the emission from high energy Er^(3+) levels at P > 1 kW/cm^(2). This changes the overall emission color from initially green over yellow to white. While initially the green and with increasing P the red emission dominate in ensemble measurements at P < 1 kW/cm^(2), the increasing population of higher Er^(^(3+)) energy levels by multiphotonic processes at higher P in single particle studies results in a multitude of emission bands in the ultraviolet/visible/near infrared (UV/vis/NIR) accompanied by a decreased contribution of the red luminescence. Based upon a thorough analysis of the P-dependence of UCL, the emission bands activated at high P were grouped and assigned to 2–3, 3–4, and 4 photonic processes involving energy transfer (ET), excited-state absorption (ESA), cross-relaxation (CR), back energy transfer (BET), and non-radiative relaxation processes (nRP). This underlines the P-tunability of UCNP brightness and color and highlights the potential of P-dependent measurements for mechanistic studies required to manifest the population pathways of the different Er^(3+) levels.

Compact waveguide CO_2 laser excited by a RF power supply

The design and performance of radio frequency (RF) excited partial Z-fold waveguide CO_2 laser with two channels are exposed. The length of the partial Z-fold channel is 3×460 mm and that of the single channel is 460 mm. The electrodes for the two channels are common and excited by a same RF source. According to our analysis, this kind of structure can greatly improve the laser offset frequency stability. In the experiments, we studied the variation of laser output power with gas pressure for two different channels. The maximum laser output power is about 23 W for the partial Z-fold channel and about 6 W for the single channel.

Vibration power flow in infinite stiffened-plate with force excitation applied on plate

The formula of the vibration response and power flow in beam-stiffened plate with force excitation applied on.the plate, have been obtained by using the Steepest Descent Integral method. The characteristics of the power flow have been studied through computer simulation.It is shown that the stiffener acts as an extra lineal excitation applied on the plate and changes the characteristics of the power flow of the infinite plate greatly The greater the stiffness and the smaller the distance between the exciting point and the stiffener is, the greater the induence is. Lastly, experiments have been carried out by using the dualaccelerometer measurement technique that based on cross spectrum, and the test data agree well with the theoretical results
