Full Wave Solution for Intel CPU With a Heat Sink for EMC Investigations

2010

A CPU with a heat sink (e.g. Intel Pentium 4 and Intel Pentium dual core) is a challenging problem for EMC analysis. A Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) device was modelled using the Finite Element Method (FEM) frequency domain solver to obtain a 3D full wave solution. The electromagnetic (EM) radiation emitted from these high power microelectronic circuits connected to a heat sink was found to have resonant frequencies around 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with reflection coefficients less than -19 dB and -8 dB respectively. These resonant frequencies are very close to the operating frequency of both IEEE and Bluetooth wireless communication systems. This paper proposes a new benchmark model based on …

A Migration Path for the Internet: From Best-Effort to a QoS Capable Infrastructure by Means of Localized Admission Control

2000

Looking back at many proposals appeared on the scene in these years, a fundamental lesson to be learned is that their success or failure is strictly tied to their backward compatibility with existing infrastructures. In this paper, we consider the problem of providing explicit admission control decisions for QoS aware services. We rely the decision to admit a new flow upon the successful and timely delivery, through the Internet, of probe packets independently generated by the end points. Our solution, called GRIP (Gauge&Gate Realistic Internet Protocol), is fully distributed and scalable, as admission control decisions are taken at the edge network nodes, and no coordination between router…

Physico-Chemical Stability of Admixtures of Vinflunine Used in Clinical Practice.

2021

Procedure of administration of vinflunine is complex and consists of an Y-site injection with fluid at different speeds. Dose is diluted with 100 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride or 5% glucose and infused with half of the 500 mL bag of the fluid over 20 min; after that, the remaining fluid is administered at 300 mL/h. In this study, chemical stability and physical compatibility of vinflunine diluted with in 500 mL of both fluids were evaluated to simplify the administration procedure (infusion of mixture on 20 min followed by 250 mL of fluid at 300 mL/h). Physical compatibility and chemical stability were evaluated at two temperatures and protected from and exposed to light. Physical compatibilit…

An experimental investigation on the long-term compatibility of preheated crude palm oil in a large compression ignition diesel engine

2018

An experimental study was carried out on a large stationary compression ignition engine to evaluate the long-term compatibility and durability issues associated with the use of crude palm oil as fuel. Two different preheating temperatures (60 and 80 °C) were adopted to assess the potential improvements related to lower fuel viscosity. The results obtained, in terms of in-cylinder carbon deposits and engine wear, were compared with the results obtained using ordinary diesel fuel. For each fuel and preheating temperature, the engine was operated for 300 consecutive h, during which several engine lubricant samples were collected and analysed to determine soot and fuel contaminations, viscosity…

Analysis of EMI Shielding Effectiveness for plastic fiber composites in the 5G sub-6 GHz band

2021

The study and modeling of EMC are becoming more critical than ever due to the ubiquitous presence of electronic circuits in all aspects of our lives. Specifically, it is crucial to extend these studies to the new frequencies that, in a few years, will be a reality in modern telecommunications systems, such as 5G and its derived technologies. A specific critical field where the proper EMI shielding has been ensured to avoid EMC problems is the electric autonomous vehicles (EAVs). The huge number of electronics systems in new vehicles will dramatically extend the demands on the EMI shielding solutions used to attenuate the radiated emissions that could affect circuits in the vehicle. Metals o…

Silent rain: does the atmosphere-mediated connectivity between microbiomes influence bacterial evolutionary rates?

2020

ABSTRACT Air carries a vast number of bacteria and viruses over great distances all the time. This leads to continuous introduction of foreign genetic material to local, established microbial communities. In this perspective, I ask whether this silent rain may have a slowing effect on the overall evolutionary rates in the microbial biosphere. Arguably, the greater the genetic divergence between gene ‘donors’ and ‘recipients’, the greater the chance that the gene product has a deleterious epistatic interaction with other gene products in its genetic environment. This is due to the long-term absence of check for mutual compatibility. As such, if an organism is extensively different from other…

A prototypal PCB board for the EMI characterization of SiC-based innovative switching devices

2020

In this paper, a preliminary PCB board for the electromagnetic interference (EMI) characterization of innovative silicon-carbide (SiC) based switching devices is presented. Packaging technological issues can determine hurdles in the high-frequency switching and high power regime where wide band gap semiconductors are intended today for Electric Vehicle (EV) applications. In particular, the parasitic inductances that emerge in such devices, must be assessed, by using e.g. EMI techniques. In this specific case, the EMI characterization is supposed to be carried out in a semi-anechoic chamber, available at the University of Palermo (UNIPA), to assess the electromagnetic disturbances according …

Novel nanocrystalline cores for EMI suppression in cables: characterization methodology and performance study

2021

El control de las interferencias electromagnéticas (EMI) en dispositivos electrónicos es un problema cada vez mayor al que se enfrentan los diseñadores para garantizar que los dispositivos cumplan con los requisitos de compatibilidad electromagnética (EMC) para operar simultáneamente sin inferir entre sí. Este hecho se debe a la tendencia hacia una mayor integración de componentes, la reducción del tamaño y grosor de las placas de circuito impreso (PCB) y la miniaturización de las carcasas de los dispositivos. Además, otros factores como el empleo de frecuencias de conmutación más altas en los convertidores de potencia y las velocidades de datos de comunicación en los circuitos digitales. C…
