The aim of the project was the development of the more competitive circuit breakers with residual current protection. In the scope of the project the researches about possibility for the usage of composite magnetic materials made of micro, nano and nano structured magnetic parts at production of electromagnetic devices are done. The use of these materials will simplify the production, it will make the production cheaper, the characteristics of the products will be better, waste material from the production will be reduced or no waste material will be produced, the energy used for the production will be reduced, etc. The proposer of the project was the company ETI Elektroelement d.d. Izlake. The company Iskra Mehanizmi d.d., Lipnica was the partner in the project and the performers of the researches on the project products were IMT Ljubljana and UM-FEE&CS Maribor. Project is financed by European fund for regional development and Public agency for technological development (TIA). Project was finished in the year 2011. Results of the project are: new realisation of the trip relay developed to prototype phase, registration of three patents on Office for intellectual property of the Republic of Slovenia [COBISS.SI-ID 15234582], [COBISS.SI-ID 14850582] and [COBISS.SI-ID 15235094] and registration of the international patent at European patent office.
F.06 Development of a new product
COBISS.SI-ID: 15234582,A doctoral dissertation of Miloš Beković entitled "Development of measurement procedures for determining the magnetic losses of magnetic fluids" deals with problems in the field of characterization of superparamagnetic materials in the form of nanoparticles dispersed in a carrier fluid. For this purpose a measuring system was developed, which include the sensors that capture the parameters of magnetic field and temperature and program was developed in LabView environment, responsible for performance of the measurement, parameters acquisition, processing and presentation of results. The measuring system was developed based on comprehensive and accurate analysis of electric, magnetic and thermal fields performed with finite element method. Also a simulation of the dependence of magnetic losses depending on temperature of the fluid has been performed. This is of utmost importance in any future applications of magnetic fluids in medicine, where it makes use of hyperthermia phenomena for the cancerous cell destruction. For such applications, the desire is to develop a magnetic fluid with the Curies temperature slightly above the body temperature, which will allow self-regulation of the temperature of the treated tumors. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles have applicability in various fields of engineering, where they are used as fillers in the manufacture of the composites, and additives to the coating ect. , while both of which are used as absorbers of electromagnetic waves.
