Using Laminated Metal Foam as the Top-Side Contact of a PCB-Embedded Power Die

The proposed innovative manufacturing process— described in detail—uses metal foam to create a pressed contact between the top side of a PCB-embedded power die and the rest of the circuit. Initial prototypes were constructed using diodes with die…

Improved electrical model of aluminum electrolytic capacitor with anomalous diffusion for health monitoring

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are the most cost effective solution for DC-link decoupling design in comparison to other technologies such as tantalum ones. However they are also the weakest part of static power converters. Thus, a lot of studies…

Ferromagnetic L 10 phase formation in the Mn–Al–C alloys induced by high-pressure spark plasma sintering

Structural and magnetic characterization of Mn-Al-C permanent magnets obtained by spark plasma sintering (SPS) is reported. The transformation from the parent-phase to the ferromagnetic τ-phase occurs simultaneously with the process of sintering…

Suivi non destructif de l'altération de marbres par méthodes acoustiques

Statue marble characterization by acoustic waves is a well-known non-destructive method. Such investigations through the statues by time of flight method (TOF) point out sound speeds decrease with ageing state by comparing healthy and altered rocks…

A subspace approach for shrinkage parameter selection in undersampled configuration for Regularised Tyler Estimators

Regularized Tyler Estimator's (RTE) have raised attention over the past years due to their attractive performance over a wide range of noise distributions and their natural robustness to outliers. Developing adaptive methods for the selection of the…
