In this study, Magneto-Acousto Electrical Tomography with magnetic measurements technique is investigated using two dimensional (2D) simplified numerical breast model. This technique comprises of the electrical current induction and ultrasound in the static magnetic field. 2D numerical simplified breast geometry is modeled with an ultrasonic transducer (linear phased array (LPA)) placed on the top side of the simplified breast model. A rectangular loop coil is encircled the breast. The sensitivity matrix is obtained for this transducer-coil configuration. LPA transducer is steered with eleven angles (-25 degrees to 25 degrees at intervals of 5 degrees). The characteristics of this modality is shown by the singular value decomposition (SVD) method. The reconstruction of the images is performed by truncated SVD approach. This study shows that perturbations (5 mm x 5 mm) up to a depth of 3 cm can be detected.

AN ANALYSIS TO IMPROVE STABILITY OF DRIVE-MODE OSCILLATIONS IN CAPACITIVE VIBRATORY MEMS GYROSCOPES
Alper, S. E.; Sahin, K.; Akın, Tayfun (2009-01-29)
This paper presents an analysis showing that it is possible to determine the factors that limit the stability of drive-mode oscillations of a vibratory MEMS gyroscope with precise modeling. Specifically, unwanted electrical resonance characteristics of the gyroscope drive-mode are analyzed together with analytical expressions, whereas the results of the theoretical analyses are verified both by simulations and measurements, which agree very well. It is demonstrated that the stability of the drive-mode oscil...

In MR-EIT, elec trical impedance tomography (EIT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are combined together. Current density measurements are obtained making use of Magnetic Resonance Current Density Imaging (MR-CDI) techniques and peripheral potential measurements are determined using conventional EIT tech...
Equipotential projection based MREIT reconstruction without potential measurements
Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2007-09-02)
Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is used to produce high resolution images of true conductivitv distribution. Images are reconstructed by utilising measurements of magnetic flux density distribution and surface potentials. Surface potential measurements are needed to reconstruct true conductivity values. In this study, a novel MREIT reconstruction algorithm is developed to generate conductivity images without utilizing the surface potential measurements. The proposed algorithm and ...
A Model for Vertical-to-Horizontal Response Spectral Ratios for Europe and the Middle East
Bommer, Julian J.; Akkar, Dede Sinan; Kale, Ozkan (2011-08-01)
In the framework of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, the preferred approach for obtaining the response spectrum of the vertical component of motion is to scale the horizontal spectrum by vertical-to-horizontal (V/H) spectral ratios. In order to apply these ratios to scenario or conditional mean spectra, the V/H ratios need to be defined as a function of variables such as magnitude, distance, and site classification. A new model for the prediction of V/H ratios for peak ground acceleration and spectral...
A normalized set of force and permeance data for doubly-salient magnetic geometries
Mahariq, İbrahim; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In this study, a model is developed to represent doubly-salient magnetic circuits and to fit finite element analysis for the aim of obtaining a set of normalized normal force, tangential force, and permeance variation data. To obtain the desired data FE field solution method is used. The reliability of finite element results have been verified by three steps; first, comparing the numerical results with analytically calculated permeance, second, by solving two switch reluctance motors and comparing the resul...
