Abstract
In recent years, active filters have been considered and developed for elimation of harmonics in power networks. Comparing with passive, they are smaller and have better compensating characteristics and resistance to line distortions. In this paper, a novel idea based on adaptive filter theory in presented to develop an active filter to eliminate the distortions of an arbitrary signal. Using this idea, new methods of active power filters, are introduced to remove harmonic distortions in single phase power networks. Stability of these methods are analyzed and the simulation results are shown. Design and implementation of this adaptive active filter are done and the performance and advantages of this technique are affirmed by the practical results. Exact estimation of amplitude, frequency and phase of input signal first harmonic is the most important advantage of this adaptive technique. Furthermore, this method is for canceling the harmonic of any arbitrary signal and can easily be modified for other systems, and three phase networks.
Due to its adaptive nature, this technique can adopt itself with variation in environment and system parameters and be adjusted for optimal behaviour.
Keywords: Adaptive active filter, ac network, amplitude, Phase and frequency Estimation, Floque theorem, Averaging theorem.

Abstract
Cobalt-based amorphous alloys attracted the attention of many researchers to carry out fundamental research for their application in electronics, sensors and magnetic memory due to their special magnetic properties including close to zero Magnetostriction, magnetic permeability and high saturation magnetization. The purpose of this study is the formation and evaluation of microstructure and magnetic properties of cobalt-based amorphous alloy produced by melt spinning and mechanical alloying. The final compositions produced by both methods were studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and vibrating magnetoresistance. The results showed that compound produced by chill block melt spinning has a better magnetic properties.

Abstract
NdFeB magnetic alloy is one of the hard magnets having the highest maximum energy in the world. The most popular methods of manufacturing magnetic alloys Nd2Fe14B are powder metallurgy and rapid quenching techniques. In this research, the effect of the hot press temperature on the magnetic properties of the hard magnet Nd2Fe14B was studied. Structural studies were carried out using X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and Scanning Electron Microscope; Spectroscopic energy distribution of Nd2Fe14B bulk magnet and the magnetic tests were done using a vibrating magnetometer to investigate the structures and the magnetic properties of the produced samples. The results showed that in addition to the Nd2Fe14B phase, the α-Fe and Nd-rich phase also existed in the structure of the provided magnet. These secondary phases had effectively created exchange couplings with the main phase, improving the magnetic properties. The magnetic properties of the sintered magnets were improved by increasing the press temperature; finally, Nd2Fe14B magnet was made with the maximum energy, which was d higher than 290 kj/m3 .
