Full-duplex wireless-over-fibre transmission incorporating a CWDM ring architecture with remote millimetre-wave LO delivery using a bi-directional SOA

We demonstrate the first full-duplex wireless-over-fibre transmission between a central station and a CWDM ring architecture with remote 40 GHz LO delivery using a bi-directional semiconductor optical amplifier. © 2005 Optical Society of America.

Specifying a hydraulic regenerative braking system for an articulated urban delivery vehicle

Previous research has shown that hydraulic systems offer potentially the lightest and smallest regenerative braking technology for heavy goods vehicles. This paper takes the most practical embodiment of a hydraulic system for an articulated urban delivery vehicle and investigates the best specification for the various components, based on a simulated stop-start cycle. The potential energy saving is quantified. © 2011 IEEE.

Voltage sensing buck converter-based technique for maximum photovoltaic solar energy delivery

A voltage sensing buck converter-based technique for maximum solar power delivery to a load is presented. While retaining the features and advantages of the incremental conductance algorithm, this technique is more desirable because of single sensor use. The technique operates by maximising power at the buck converter output instead of the input.
