Extractions: MENLO PARK, Calif. (May 23, 2000) - Silicon Valley-based SRI International received both "Best of Show" awards at the Sensors and Motion Control Expositions (May 9 to 11, 2000) for its passive diamagnetic levitation system. SRI's entry won against dozens of other entries for top honors at the events, reaffirming the organization's role as a leading technology innovator. The passive diamagnetic levitation system makes non-contact suspension and transportation possible without the use of electromagnets, control systems or power. The Sensors and Motion Control Expositions are the only events dedicated to the utilization of sensor and motion technologies and their related applications. This year's expositions, held concurrently at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, and sponsored by Sensors Magazine and the American Institute of Motion Engineers respectively, brought together over 325 companies displaying a full range of related technologies. Diamagnetism is a property of some materials such as graphite that causes them to levitate in a stable manner in a magnetic field without power. SRI has studied this phenomenon and has recently developed passive diamagnetic levitation system technologies for several useful devices. Passive diamagnetic levitation system technology has a broad range of applications, from precise seismic sensors to frictionless micromotors, and is particularly valuable for use in clean room transport to eliminate particulate contaminants.

Extractions: Previous Story ... Related Stories Next Story Source: Carnegie Mellon University Date: The device is unique because it enables people to not only touch these objects, but to reach in and manipulate them in three dimensions as well. The new system also eliminates the bulky links, cables and mechanisms of current haptic interfaces in favor of a single, lightweight moving part, which floats on magnetic fields. The system has a bowl-shaped floating element containing six levitation coils surrounded by strong, permanent magnets. A protruding handle attached to the bowl is grasped by the computer user, enabling interaction with solid, three-dimensional models graphically depicted on the computer screen. The system is housed in a desktop-high cabinet. It has taken Hollis and his Ph.D. student, Peter Berkelman, five years to develop the haptic interface. They believe that future applications of the technology will be in computer-augmented design, medical training, entertainment, flight simulation and the interactive control of remote robots.

Extractions: Contents Page: Volume 16, Number 3 A stellar magnetic field tends to be a closed configuration which, from a theoretical viewpoint, seems to prevent accretion. On the other hand, it is observationally indisputable that magnetic stars do accrete matter from their surroundings, either from a protoplanetary accretion disc, as in the Classic T Tauri stars, or from a companion star losing mass via Roche overflow, as in low mass x-ray binaries, where the primary star is a neutron star, or in the mCVs, where the accreting object is a magnetic white dwarf. The mechanisms which lead to field chanelled accretion flow remain substantially unresolved due to the complicated non-linear effects arising from the interaction between the magnetic field and matter. The current picture on field-matter interaction may be that the accreting matter entering the magnetosphere consists of diamagnetic blobs which are continuosly stripped, as their surface layers become magnetised, by reconnection processes. Therefore, during their penetration into the magnetosphere, they feed the curtains, or funnels, of material until they are slowly depleted of all their matter and finally disappear.

Extractions: SCIENCE Subjects: Physics, Industrial Technology Grades: Students: Twenty students participated in this program. Two physics classes of 11th and 12th grades which met daily. Staff: Classroom teacher. Materials/Facilities: Plywood, Plexiglass, magnets, balsa wood, small motors, batteries, solar collectors, propellers, and tape. Table space (such as a laboratory) and access to power tools are necessary. Outside Resources: None. Contact: Susan Steckel Principal: Dr. Donald Aubry Amy Brewer /Sue Doyle/Sandy Swanlund This program incorporates a practical problem-solving exercise in magnetic levitation to enhance the traditional study of magnetism. Students connect theory with practice by applying their knowledge of magnetism to the timely problem of designing and building an efficient working model of a maglev system. Students divide into groups of two or three and brainstorm system designs which will run on a preconstructed track. This includes body style and means of propulsion. Design parameters may be set; however, make as few as possible to encourage creativity. A variety of construction materials (balsa wood, styrofoam, magnets, etc.) are available and access to power tools is essential since students are required to build and evaluate, not just design their maglev system. Evaluation can be based upon efficiency of materials, total distance covered, and average speed.

Meisel Dept. of Physics and NHMFL, Univ. of Florida, Gainesville; Dept. of Physics and NHMFL, Florida State Univ., Tallahasee; and Dept. of Hort. Sci. and Biotech. Program, Univ. of Florida, Gainesville. Several means, such as parabolic flights, drop towers, and clinostats, have been used to produce earth-based hypogravity environments. Another method to achieve a milli-gravity ( g; g = 9.8 m/s ) environment for extended periods of time is magnetic levitation of diamagnetic materials. Under these conditions, the net magnetic force on the levitated object balances the force of gravity the object experiences, resulting in a net force of zero. It is noteworthy that water and many organic materials are diamagnetic and, therefore, may be magnetically levitated. The simple physical explanation of this process will be described in order to communicate the potential of using this technique for a variety of pre-flight staging experiments. Specifically, transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants have been magnetically levitated using resistive magnets at the NHMFL to investigate the effects of this type of low-gravity environment on the transgene ( Adh /GUS) expression (see abstract of Morgan

Program, Univ. of Florida, Gainesville. Genetically engineered Arabidopsis thaliana provides a means to examine the effects of low-gravity and strong magnetic fields at the cellular level. The plants are engineered with a transgene gene containing the Adh promoter and GUS reporter gene. The Adh gene is sensitive to a variety of environmental stresses and induces GUS expression in stressed tissues. GUS activity is evaluated qualitatively for cellular distribution by staining the plant with an appropriate substrate to produce a blue color in tissue regions where there are concentrations of the GUS enzyme. A quantitative measure of GUS activity in the plant tissue is obtained using spectrofluorometric assays. Arabidopsis plants were magnetically levitated in magnetic field gradients to simulate a milli-gravity g; g = 9.8 m/s
