Dimensioning the Equipment of a Wave Farm: Energy Storage and Cables

Still largely untapped, wave energy may represent an important share in the energy mix of many countries in the future. However, the power fluctuations generated by most wave energy devices with little to no storage means, or without suitable…

Covariance Matrix Estimation in SIRV and Elliptical Processes and Their Applications in Radar Detection

As developed in this chapter, the detection performances are strongly linked to the covariance matrix estimation process. Several estimation methods have been studied through the statistical properties of the estimators. Then, they have been used in…

Skin effect in steel sheets under rotating induction

By means of a newly developed broadband measuring setup we have overcome the usual upper limit for the test frequency, around a few hundred Hz, which is encountered in the two-dimensional characterization of magnetic steel sheets at technical…

The intrinsic luminescence of individual plasmonic nanostructures in aqueous suspension by photon time-of-flight spectroscopy

We have studied the intrinsic one-photon excited luminescence of freely diffusing gold nanoparticles of different shapes in aqueous suspension. Gold nanospheres were used as a reference, since their luminescence has been investigated previously and…

Sparse-based estimators improvement in case of basis mismatch

Compressed sensing theory promises to sample sparse signals using a limited number of samples. It also resolves the problem of under-determined systems of linear equations when the unknown vector is sparse. Those promising applications induced a…

Cascaded optical fiber link using the internet network for remote clocks comparison

We report a cascaded optical link of 1100 km for ultra-stable frequency distribution over an Internet fiber network. The link is composed of four spans for which the propagation noise is actively compensated. The robustness and the performance of…

A Switched Reluctance Motor Drive using Photovoltaic Transistors: Principle, Prototype, Experimental and Numerical Results

We designed a new solar-powered electromechanical drive: the photovoltaic transistor inverter-fed switched reluctance motor. A photovoltaic transistor is a conventional photovoltaic cell used as a light-controlled transistor. To obtain a motor drive…

Robust crack detection for unmanned aerial vehicles inspection in an a-contrario decision framework

We are interested in the performance of currently available algorithms for the detection of cracks in the specific context of aerial inspection, which is characterized by image quality degradation. We focus on two widely used families of algorithms…

Time-of-flight photon spectroscopy for spectral analysis of particles diffusing one by one

The functionalizability and biocompatibility of gold particles make them attractive for applications in sensing and theranostics. The emission of hybrid particles obtained by grafting fluorescent molecules at the surface of the particle or inside an…
