Multi-scale study of hydrogen isotopes structural properties in solid phase in the context of inertial fusion target manufacturing

Designing the ignition and high-gain targets for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) requires a condensed uniform layer of the hydrogen fuel on the inner surface of a spherical polymer shell. The fuel layers have to be highly uniform in thickness and roughness.

Automatized connection of the layers of planar transformers with parallel windings to improve the component behavior

Transformers with parallel windings are commonly used to reduce the losses in the windings. Windings losses depend on the winding positioning and the frequency effects because each winding affects the current sharing of itself and the neighboring windings. In this paper a methodology for determining the connections of the parallel windings that reduces the power losses (and temperature) in the windings of multi-winding transformers is presented. Other applications of the method, such as balanced current sharing and voltage drop reduction are also explored.
