Library of magnetic core model parameters

 * Library of magnetic core model parameters


* This is a reduced version of MicroSim's magnetic core library.

*   You are welcome to make as many copies of it as you find convenient.


* Release date: November 1988


* The parameters in this model library were derived from the data sheets for

* each core.  The Jiles-Atherton magnetics model is described in:

*

*   Theory of Ferromagnetic Hysteresis, by D C Jiles and D L Atherton,

*   Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, vol 61 (1986) pp 48-60

*

* Model parameters for ferrite material (Ferroxcube 3C8) were obtained by

* trial simulations, using the B-H curves from the manufacturer's catalog.

* Then, the library was compiled from the data sheets for each core geometry.

* Notice that only the geometric values change once a material is

* characterized.


* Example use:  K2 L2 .99 K1409PL_3C8


* Notes:

*   1) Using a K device (formerly only for mutual coupling) with a model

*   reference changes the meaning of the L device: the inductance value

*   becomes the number of turns for the winding.

*   2) K devices can "get away" with specifying only one inductor, as in the

*   example above, to simulate power inductors.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all known algorithms [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Our persistent inability to emulate perception gives reason to doubt the current paradigm and to look for an alternative paradigm.      Penrose[7] and many others [8, 9, 10] argue from practical considerations, Godel's theorem, and

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs.        Complete instructions for building this simple, deadly weapon  could be given in half the space I'm using here and not require a  single illustrat
