Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an arrangement for inductively supplying energy and a method for manufacturing the arrangement. The method includes: a transmitter coil being on-site embedded in or on top of a magnetizable asphalt mixture below a surface of a drivable civil structure and configured to provide a magnetic field to transfer energy to a receiver coil. The magnetizable asphalt mixture includes an asphalt binding substance and soft magnetic particles, and a volume fraction of the soft magnetic particles is not smaller than 35% of a total mixture volume of the magnetizable asphalt mixture.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve an apparatus and method to measure the long-wave irradiance of the atmosphere or long-wave source. The apparatus may involve a thermopile, a concentrator and temperature controller. The incoming long-wave irradiance may be reflected from the concentrator to a thermopile receiver located at the bottom of the concentrator to receive the reflected long-wave irradiance. In addition, the thermopile may be thermally connected to a temperature controller to control the device temperature. Through use of the apparatus, the long-wave irradiance of the atmosphere may be calculated from several measurements provided by the apparatus. In addition, the apparatus may provide an international standard of pyrgeometers' calibration that is traceable back to the International System of Units (SI) rather than to a blackbody atmospheric simulator.
