An Introduction to Resonant Inductive Power Transfer
By Gianpaolo Lisi | Kilby Laboratories
Kalyan Siddabattula | Texas Instruments

With the growing number of personal electronic devices that the average person is constantly relying on, wireless power transfer is becoming an essential mechanism to keep batteries charged at all times. Moreover, thanks to the intrinsic isolation that this technology provides, today’s manufacturers can design more robust, fully enclosed and even water-proof electronic products. Magnetic resonance can be used to engineer wireless power transfer systems with some attractive features. <read more>

Are You Qualified?
By Dr. Stan Trout | Spontaneous Materials
It has been over 20 years, but I was asked this question when I approached a potential customer, during my days of selling rare earths.

In the parlance of the automotive industry, being qualified means that you have successfully completed a thorough due diligence process to verify that your company can actually supply the product the customer needs. This may seem like an excessive exercise, but spending some time making sure things will run smoothly early on is actually a very good purchasing strategy. <read more>

StanTroutMagnetics Bootcamps Back by Popular Demand in 2016
Magnetics Business & Technology magazine has announced that Dr. Stan Trout of Spontaneous Materials will again host the Bootcamp Workshops in association with the Magnetics 2016 event. The Magnetics Bootcamps will take place on January 20th, 2016 in Jacksonville, Fla.


Dr. Stan Trout has been offering Bootcamps since 2007 and has trained more than 200 students, putting to use his more than 40 years of experience in the permanent and rare earth industries. Dr. Trout has a B.S. in Physics from Lafayette College and a M.S. and a Ph.D. in Metallurgy and Materials Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Stan is a contributing columnist for Magnetics Business & Technology magazine and is a consultant to the Magnetics Industry. His consultancy Spontaneous Materials provides practical solutions in magnetic materials, the rare earths, technical training and technical writing.

 

Workshop Overview:
Trout’s Bootcamps focus on the basics of Magnetics. If you need to understand magnets better for your job, want to get more from the conference presentations or are new to the field, then Basic – Bootcamp I is the right place to start. Bootcamp I assumes that one has little or no background in magnetics. The Bootcamp I workshop will cover the fundamental magnetic concepts such as hysteresis, what is magnetism, units, basic processing, magnetizing and thermal effects. However, if something more advanced is what you are looking for, attend Bootcamp II. <read more>
