In ultrahigh-field (UHF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the RF power required to excite the nuclei of the target object increases. As the strength of the main magnetic field (B0 field) increases, the improvement of the RF transmit field (B1+ field) efficiency and receive field (B1− field) sensitivity of radio-frequency (RF) coils is essential to reduce their specific absorption rate and power deposition in UHF MRI. To address these problems, we previously proposed a method to simultaneously improve the B1+ field efficiency and B1− field sensitivity of 16-leg bandpass birdcage RF coil

We have developed a reinforcement learning (RL) model to control the melt flow in the radio frequency (RF) top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) process for growing more uniform SiC crystals with a higher growth rate. In the study, the electromagnetic field (EM) strength is controlled by the RL model to weaken the influence of Marangoni convection. The RL model is trained through a two-dimensional (2D) numerical simulation of the TSSG process. As a result, the growth rate under the control of the RL model is improved significantly.

This paper presents the design of on-chip micro-antennas for package-scale galvanic isolators based on RF planar coupling. A step-by-step design procedure is proposed, which aims at the maximization of the weak electromagnetic coupling between the RX and TX antennas integrated on side-by-side co-packaged chips to enable both high isolation rating and common-mode transient immunity thanks to the high dielectric strength and low capacitive parasitics of a molding compound-based galvanic barrier, respectively. Micro-antenna design guidelines are drawn, highlighting the main relationship between c

Abstract:
The previously observed self-E [Formula: see text] H and inverse [Formula: see text] mode transitions were explained by unrelated mechanisms. The argument in this Brief Communication finds that both mode transitions can be interpreted via wall-heating that affects electron density by changing neutral density. In the self-E [Formula: see text] H mode transition, the shift of the preset E-mode discharge to the E [Formula: see text] H mode-transition point is caused by the increasing neutral density in the cooling down process of the chamber wall overheated in the preceding high-power H-mode disc

Exposure of a 304 stainless steel sample to an inductively coupled low pressure radio frequency (RF) nitrogen plasma leads to the formation of a nitriding layer. The protective properties of this layer are investigated by electrochemical methods. The corrosion potential of the steel in an aqueous solution depends on the working parameters of the plasma such as the time exposure and the distance between the steel sample and the high voltage (HV) coil of the treatment reactor.

Acupuncture is a therapy based on sensory stimulation of the human body by means of metal needles. The exact underlying mechanisms of acupuncture have not been clarified so far. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become an important tool in acupuncture research.
