The paper presents a new approach to modeling of magnetic properties and the influence of temperature on hysteresis loops in La(FeCoSi)13 magnetocaloric compound. The GRUCAD hysteresis model has been used for analysis of magnetic behavior in the vicinity of the magnetic phase transition. The modeling results are in a qualitative agreement with experiment.

The approach advanced by Harrison puts in the spotlight the fundamental role of bistability in hysteresis modeling. The description is based on physical premises concerning irreversible thermodynamics. In the original model, the upscaling of irreversible phenomena acting on the micromagnetic level is carried out by the introduction of a phenomenological parameter β. In the present paper, an alternative approach is proposed. The outputs of individual outputs of elementary hysteresis units (hysterons) are considered like in the stop model. A verification of the proposed model is carried out using measurement data for a praseodymium–dysprosium ribbon sample and a cylinder core made of cobalt-based amorphous material.

Monitoring and controlling the position of fibre optics connectors is a very important issue. Both autonomy and remote control of such a system are very desired and therefore energy independence must be provided. In this paper the design of an optical power supply system is given. A new idea of using theWDMtechnique in a power supply block is investigated. The electric power provided by a photovoltaic power converter and by a boost converter is shown. Moreover, in this paper the complete examination of efficiency of the system with different illuminations is given. The maximal output power of the system is 24.02 mW and the time required to identify a single fibre connector is tCYCLE = 0:65 s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
