Design and demonstration of a mouse-specific Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation coil in-vitro
(The University of Waikato, 2021)In Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, rapid electromagnetic fields (EM) are applied to the brain. The fundamental effects of TMS are poorly understood so we need smaller coils to perform invasive measurements on mice. Based ... -
Permeance based modelling, design and optimization of supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA)
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Supercapacitor assisted (SCA) techniques are a unique set of circuit topologies designed to fulfil power conversion and protection tasks by circumventing the energy losses normally associated with RC based circuits. With ... -
Design of SCALDO based high-current DC power supply
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Supercapacitor assisted (SCA) techniques are primarily based on supercapacitors having in the order of one million times more capacitance, together with one to two orders of magnitude smaller equivalent series resistance ... -
Investigating the dynamics of a population of spiking neurons across spatial scales
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Mean-field models describe bulk neural activity in terms of population-average action potential (spike) rates, but do not attempt to address the variations in the firing activity of individual neurons and the interactions ... -
Efficiency enhancements to a linear AC voltage regulator: Multi-transformer and multi-winding designs
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Utility companies are expected to distribute electricity that conforms with international or national standards related to RMS voltage fluctuations. However, RMS voltage variations sometimes exceed acceptable limits and ...
