Novel opto-electronic and plastic fibre sensors by Ioannides, Nicos

“…The middle POF is coupled to a red LED and emits light onto a flat target with the two outer fibres receiving the reflected light from the target and guiding it to two silicon PIN photodiodes. Theoretical investigations on the behaviour of the sensor are presented for ranges between 0 mm and 100 mm, and for targets with different reflectivities. …”

CPW-fed printed UWB antenna with open-loop inverted triangular-shaped slot for WLAN band filtering by Shokri, Majid, Rafii, Vahid, Karamzadeh, Saeid, Amiri, Zhaleh, Virdee, Bal Singh

“…The notch band frequency is determined by physical parameters defining the TSS that allows fine control of the notch's location. The proposed antenna also possesses a flat gain response expect at the notched band and occupies a relatively small volume of 25 × 25 × 0.8 mm3 for ease of system integration.…”

H∞ gain-scheduled dynamic output feedback control with transient performance applied to electrical microgrid by Fuentes, R. M., Lacerda, Marcio J., Morais, C. F., Oliveira, R. C. L. F., Palma, J. M.

“…We achieve this by employing changes in variables and congruence transformations, which lead to new synthesis conditions expressed as linear matrix inequalities. Additional fine-tuned scalar parameters can be used to enhance further the controller performance in terms of less conservative H-infinity guaranteed costs. …”
