In the Joule Balance at the National Institute of Metrology (NIM), the dynamic measurement during the coil movement is avoided. But for this method a rather large current in the primary coil is needed to generate the necessary magnetic field in the force weighing phase. Thus the coil heating becomes an obvious uncertainty contribution. To solve this problem, a new coil system, in which the ferromagnetic...
The Joule balance method to measure the Planck constant and redefine the Kilogram ultimately has been going on at the National Institute of Metrology of China (NIM) since 2007. The first prototype has been built to check the feasibility of the principle. In 2012, the relative uncertainty of the plank constant measurement result is at 10−5 level. Self-heating of the coils, swing of the coil, etc.,...
According to NFPA 70E, more than 2000 workers are admitted to hospital burn centers per year for extensive injuries caused by arc flash accidents. Arc flash incidents occur when unintended electric current flows through air, superheating the air and causes an explosion. Recognizing the significant threat posed by arc flash hazards, IEEE and NFPA have joined forces on an initiative to support research...
A set of polymer-based hybrid integrated devices for WDM-PON networks is presented. Optical line terminals based on polymer AWGs are proposed and a polymer waveguide tunable laser is also presented for colorless optical network units.
Scanning thermal microscope (SThM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques were used to investigate the local thermal-conductivity of a GaN-buffer-sapphire heterostructure. Compared with GaN epilayer, buffer layer displayed the low thermal-conductivity and the high strain state due to the lattice distortion.
