A novel bearingless interior permanent magnet slice motor for pump* by Kant, Krishan, Weinreb, Benjamin S., Hegy, Michael, Gartner, Mark, Trumper, David L.

“…Since the cogging torque is a result of the motor geometry, finite element (FE) simulation is used to simulate various rotor geometries to find the desired rotor configuration. FE simulations are also used to obtain other parameters like force and torque constant, and magnetic stiffness for designing control. …”

Live Verification in an Interactive Proof Assistant by Gruetter, Samuel, Fukala, Viktor, Chlipala, Adam

“…We present a prototype for a tool that enables programmers to verify their code as they write it in real-time. After each line of code that the programmer writes, the tool tells the programmer whether it was able to prove absence of undefined behavior so far, and displays a concise representation of the symbolic state of the program right after the added line. …”
