MEDER electronic Announces 3-D Magnetic Mapping Of Reed Sensors

Optimize components and eliminate issues that may result in faulty operations
Meder electronic Inc., a manufacturer of precise, reliable, and long-lasting miniature switches, sensors and relays, announces its 3-dimensional magnetic mapping capabilities for reed sensors. This process allows designers to more accurately place sensors and magnetic components within a system, thus eliminating any issues that may result in faulty operation.

MEDER electronic conducts 3-D magnetic mapping by incrementally measuring the reed sensor’s closure and opening points as it enters and exits the influence of a magnetic field. This information is then analyzed, allowing the user to visualize the magnetic field in three dimensions. Understanding the interacting magnetic fields allows designers to better position the magnet and sensor in the system for optimal operation. 3-D mapping also helps designers adjust the magnetic sensitivity of the reed sensor and/or the magnet’s size and strength.

The ability to know where the key operating points are is critical to sensor applications, because it allows designers to properly position the magnet and sensor well within appropriate guard bands and avoid tolerance issues. It is particularly useful in applications using more than one reed sensor or more than one magnet. For applications in which ferromagnetic material like iron, steel, nickel or cobalt are present in the area where sensing takes place, 3-D modeling becomes quite extensive and unpredictable, so magnetic mapping is the only way to know for sure where the boundaries are.

In addition to ensuring operations are well within the magnetic envelopes to avoid tolerance issues, 3D magnetic mapping helps designers optimize the sensor and magnet components, which can significantly reduce costs.

Lake Shore Introduces the Model 648 Electromagnet Power Supply
Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc., manufacturers of scientific sensors, instruments, and systems for precise measurement and control, has introduced the new Model 648 electromagnet power supply, a robust, fault-tolerant 10 kW supply optimized for powering large 7-inch or 10-inch research electromagnets. The Model 648 is well suited for electromagnet characterization systems used for magneto-optical studies, magnetic hysteresis tests, susceptibility measurements, Hall Effect studies, spin magnetic resonance demonstrations and biological tests.

The Model 648 electromagnet power supply is designed to be used with large electromagnets in high precision laboratory settings that require low electrical noise. Its linear design removes the undesirable higher frequency noise typical of many other switch mode power supplies. The power supply’s low output noise means researchers can obtain greater resolution and finer detail in results drawn from data taken during high sensitivity experiments. Eliminating the need for external switching or operator intervention to reverse current polarity, the Model 648 uses convenient bipolar, 4-quadrant operation, which provides clean transitions through zero without discontinuities.

Made to last, and to minimize down time, Lake Shore’s built-in fault protection enables the system to survive direct shorts across the output without damage. Worry-free water cooling with zero internal connections eliminates the possibility of leaks and provides quiet, efficient operation compared to air-cooled supplies. A unique safety interlock ensures that the cooling water is flowing to the supply while operating.  Internal controls ensure efficient water management. The Model 648 also comes with Lake Shore’s full 3-year standard warranty.

The Model 648 was designed for application convenience. Its high resolution programmed output current incorporates a proprietary digital-to-analog converter that is monotonic over the entire output range and provides resolution of 1.0 mA. It is equipped with both parallel IEEE-488 and universal serial bus (USB) computer interfaces that provide access to operating data, stored parameters, and computer control of operating functions. The power supply’s easy-to-use and intuitive interface provides full diagnostic and status information.

Collaboration Accelerates Development of Revolutionary Wind Turbine Technology
Cobham Technical Services is helping Colorado-based Boulder Wind Power (BWP) accelerate development of a radical new permanent magnet generator through use of advanced electromagnetic design software. Based on a permanent magnet, direct drive design, BWP’s generator uses a unique axial flux, air-core architecture that increases efficiency and reliability, and will ultimately reduce the cost of wind generated electricity to compete at parity with fossil fuels.

In support of the initial engineering studies taken on at the company’s formation in early 2010, BWP chose to use the three-dimensional (3D) version of the Opera electromagnetic simulator from the Vector Fields Software range of Cobham Technical Services. BWP cites the software’s accuracy, the ease with which its analytical capabilities can be adapted to suit specific requirements, and Cobham’s willingness to collaborate in further developing key areas such as dynamic modeling as the primary factors behind its choice.

Like all permanent magnet direct drive wind turbines, the generator rotor of BWP’s 3.0 MW design turns at about 13 revolutions per minute, necessitating a high pole count. Opera’s advanced solvers allow high periodicity to be leveraged, so that the analytical model can be a fraction of the size of the complete generator – significantly reducing simulation times. This is particularly important for BWP because it makes exclusive use of the 3D version of Opera, which is necessarily more computationally demanding than the 2D version. While many wind turbine designers employ two-dimensional simulation for the main components in a generator, and only use three-dimensional simulation for elements such as the end turns on windings, BWP’s designers must use full 3D simulation at every stage, in order to model the generator’s novel architecture as accurately as possible.

According to Brian Sullivan, Principal Electromagnetics Engineer at BWP, “The physics engine and computational solvers in Opera-3D provide an excellent foundation for the detailed analyses that we perform for our design optimization. Combined with Opera’s extensive scripting capabilities, which are far more flexible than the pre-programmed templates offered by competitive electromagnetic design packages, this software is enabling us to develop new analytical techniques for our unique machine architecture. In addition, the results obtained from prototype testing have shown a high degree of correlation with our analyses, demonstrating the accuracy of the software. As an example, our predictive models for open circuit voltage in Opera were within 2 percent of measured data. We are now working with Cobham to build on these exceptional results by enhancing dynamic and transient modeling capabilities, which will enable us to take the next big step in accelerating our design analysis and optimization.”

Unlike conventional permanent magnet generators, the air-core stator in the BWP design does not use electrical steel laminations wound with conductors, and contains no ferromagnetic materials. This breakthrough has several advantages including eliminating iron losses associated with flux reversals in the stator and eliminating the magnetic attraction between the generator’s rotor and stator. Together these enable higher efficiencies and higher torque levels for a given mass of generator.
According to Andris Cukurs, CEO of BWP, “Having proven the fundamental design approach for our generator and validated our design tools, we are now in the process of designing units to be incorporated in our clients’ multi-megawatt wind turbine designs for prototype testing. We believe our technology will provide wind turbine manufacturers with the innovative design advantages they are looking for to better compete in the global wind market.”

Kevin Ward, Director of Cobham Technical Services – Vector Fields Software, points out that wind power is at a critical point of development, “Wind turbines currently account for about 5 percent of the world’s installed capacity for electricity generation, providing ample opportunity for growth. We are delighted to be working with BWP to help them develop this highly innovative generator which is being designed to make the future of wind power more accessible.”

BWP’s generators will be available for testing in prototype turbines in 2013, with full commercial availability expected in 2014.

Bruker Announces Three New Orders for Solid-State Dynamic Nuclear Polarization NMR Systems
Bruker has announced three new orders for DNP-NMR research systems, including a 395 GHz DNP-NMR system, as well as two 263 GHz DNP-NMR systems or major upgrades. This new DNP (Dynamic Nuclear Polarization) hyperpolarization technology will soon be available at the Universities of Düsseldorf, Darmstadt and Frankfurt for use in life science and materials research. All three projects were funded by the German Research Foundation DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).

As part of a major instrumentation initiative in Europe, the emerging DNP-NMR field has already benefitted from four already installed Bruker 263 GHz systems in Germany, Switzerland, France and The Netherlands. The field will be further enhanced through three other upcoming high field Bruker DNP-NMR installations, a 395 GHz in Göttingen (Germany), as well as two 527 GHz systems in Utrecht (The Netherlands) and Lyon (France).

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization can enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR by approximately two orders of magnitude, by transferring polarization from the electron spins to the nuclear spins. With DNP-NMR completely new categories of samples can be investigated with the potential to provide much more detailed spectroscopic insights and a more comprehensive understanding of molecular interactions.

The solid-state DNP-NMR technology commercialized by Bruker finds its origins in the pioneering work of Professors Robert Griffin and Richard Temkin at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, Cambridge, MA). The DNP-NMR systems utilize novel Bruker gyrotrons as the high power microwave source, Bruker’s Ascend 89 mm superconducting magnets, and ultra-fast AVANCE III HD electronics for the NMR experiment.

Professor Henrike Heise, head of the Solid-State NMR group at the University of Düsseldorf, said, “The new 395 GHz DNP-NMR system is the key to our realization of new, more detailed structural investigations of macromolecular complexes or structure-function studies on biomolecular complexes, and to further develop new life sciences applications. Furthermore, improved materials science applications such as the study of composite materials, glasses or inhomogeneous polymers will benefit from the dramatically improved sensitivity.”

Molycorp Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results
Molycorp, Inc.  has announced financial and operating results for the third quarter 2012.

“Our production ramp up continues to build to Phase 1 levels at Mountain Pass, and we remain on target for full Phase 1 operations in the fourth quarter,” said Mark Smith, president and CEO.  “As we execute our global vertical integration plan, we will continue to see solid revenue from our Molycorp Canada operations, and we will increasingly realize the benefits of Project Phoenix and the ramping of our production volumes. This should result in higher sales and gross margins, and both improved and sustainable bottom-line performance, due to our low-cost production and our access to markets that require high value, specialty-engineered materials.”

QUARTERLY RESULTS -  The Company reported consolidated net revenue of $205.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, a 49 percent year-over-year increase and a 97 percent increase over the previous quarter, during which the Company owned the former Neo Materials (Molycorp Canada) for 19 days.

In the third quarter, the Company sold 4,391 metric tons of product across its business segments and realized a gross profit of $10.9 million, compared to gross profit of $82.4 million during the third quarter of 2011. Gross profit decreased from the prior year period as a result of significantly lower pricing and increased production costs, offset by increased volumes. Gross profit during the quarter also was negatively impacted by $33.0 million of out-of-ordinary expenses, primarily related to purchase accounting adjustments related to the Molycorp Canada acquisition and inventory write-downs.

Molycorp’s third quarter loss attributable to common stockholders was $18.9 million, or a loss of $0.19 per share. Earnings decreased substantially from the prior year period as a result of lower selling prices and increased costs, offset in part by increased volumes and tax recoveries related to the settling of certain tax provisions. Adjusted loss per share of $0.05 reflects operational expansion items, out-of-ordinary business expenses, and certain other non-cash items.

OUTLOOK -  “We are seeing customer demand beginning to stabilize,” Smith said.  “We have customer agreements in place, or are in advanced discussions and product qualification efforts with customers, on sales in excess of our Phase 1 capacity.  In the Lanthanum and NdPr markets, we are seeing demand that will move us into Phase 2 production relatively quickly.  With cerium, our commercialization of SorbXT products continues to gain traction in the marketplace.”

“Several of our customers continue to work to deplete large volumes of stockpiles.  We are seeing signs these customers are coming back into the market, which is very positive going forward,” Smith said.

“With regard to global trends, output from China continues to be significantly reduced,” Smith added.  “Chinese government officials are stepping up their efforts to enforce tougher environmental regulation and to curb illegal mining, and these efforts are putting pressure on production.  In addition, a growing number of China’s largest producers have either halted operations or are in the process of halting production, including Baotou Steel Rare-Earth, China Minmetals, Chalco Rare Earth and China Nonferrous Metals. Government and industry leaders in China acknowledge that these and other actions are being implemented for the express purpose of stabilizing or strengthening prices for all rare earth products.”

The Company generated $17.2 million of operating cash flow during the quarter, and had $436.0 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2012. Molycorp’s cash capital expenditures for Q3 were $240.8 million, and for the fourth quarter the Company expects to incur cash capital expenditures of approximately $180.0 million.
