Electrochemical synthesis of inorganic compounds is a relatively unknown field. The successful, large industrial processes, such as chlorine-caustic production, are well known, but the large number of other compounds that have been synthesized electrochemically are much less appreciated, even by electrochemists and inorganic chemists. The last comprehensive book on this subject was published in the 1930's and no modern review or summary of the whole field is in existence. But the field is in no way dormant, as attested by the large number of publications, undiminished throughout the years,...

Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: A, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems), language: English, abstract: The present work investigates the potential of the finite element method (FEM) in the design process of magnetic Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS). The magnetic forces and torques acting on a magnetic body are of great importance in wireless actuating principles. Good models are required to allow for precise and predictable motion of the magnetic body. However,...
