Advances in Ferrite-Integrated On-Chip Inductors Using Aerosol Deposition

By Scooter D. Johnson | US Naval Research Laboratory

The drive toward miniaturization of devices such as computers and cellular phones has pushed the limits of component design and materials engineering to smaller sizes and more efficient power consumption. One such component that still requires a relatively large footprint is the embedded inductor. <read more>

Numerical Simulation of Permanent Magnets

By Thomas Schliesch | Max Baermann GmbH

Personal Experiences from Past to Present: I started with these subjects at the end of the 80s in a company that was considered a small scale company in those times. For organizations like that, and even for bigger organizations, FEM and other numerical methods were more or less exotic. At the end of the 80s hardware resources were generally poor and very expensive. I started on an Intel 286 computer with a hard drive of 40MB. Today it happens to me often at daily work, that only one analysis casts around 10GB onto my hard disc. What a difference! <read more>

Magnetics 2015 - New Sessions Announced
Magnetics 2015, taking place January 21-22, 2015 in Orlando, Fla., is an international forum bringing together worldwide magnetics experts focused on the latest economic developments and technical advancements in magnetics markets and technologies.

The following sessions have been recently added to the 2015 conference program (view full descriptions here):

• Integrating Magnetic Field Mapping and Coordinate Measurement | GMW Associates
• Electromagnetic Actuated Assistant Systems | Kendrion
• Characterizing Magnets with Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Systems: Where Do Both Worlds Meet? | Metis Instruments
• Single Step Forming Process for NdFeB Magnet Production | Alpha Magnet LLC
• End-of-life Strategy for Rare-Earth Permanent Magnets: Reuse as an Alternative to Chemical Recycling? | Technical University of Denmark

Extended Call for Presentations Deadline: August 22nd

There are only 3 speaking slots left in the Ferrites / Soft Magnetics track, and only 2 speaking slots remaining in the Electromagnetics Track. The remaining slots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis – but abstracts for consideration must be received by Friday, August 22nd.
