Charger lanes, which are road segments equipped with in-motion wireless chargers, expected to keep Electric Vehicles (EVs) continuously driving without recharging downtime. To maximize the service efficiency of we must properly coordinate traffic EVs avoid generation congestion at charger lanes and on them. In this article, propose WPT-Opt , a game-theoretic approach for optimizing charging eff...

A high-performance electric motorcycle (HPEM) integrated charger-inverter (ICI) with an induction motor (IM) is proposed in this article. Typical components are shared drive and charge modes, resulting savings of weight, volume, cost. two-stage ICI for AC powertrain power factor correction (PFC) battery charger functions considered. Despite high voltage ripple on the DC link, a bandwidth nonlin...

in this paper, the heat balance of an engine was investigated experimentally. the experimental work was conducted on the ef7 natural gas fueled and turbocharged engine. the main goal was to develop an empirical equation to be able to predict the heat balance of the engine at various loads and conditions. the data were collected at four different conditions, two different loads and two different...

A wireless rechargeable sensor network (WRSN) consists of sensor nodes that can harvest energy emitted from wireless chargers for refilling their batteries so that the WRSN can operate sustainably. This paper assumes wireless chargers are equipped with directional antennas, and are deployed on grid points of a fixed height to propose two heuristic algorithms solving the following wireless charg...

In this paper, a new approach of fuzzy modeling with emphasis on analog hardware implementation is suggested. In the suggested approach, the input space of each input variable is partitioned independently through the modified form of fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm to generate the membership functions. By considering all the possible combinations between the membership functions of the...

The destructive surge transient response is an expected phenomenon on a turbo charged automobile. Therefore a new intelligent controller to prevent the surge phenomenon to prolong the life cycle of modern turbo charged automobiles is proposed in this paper. In order to do so, the surge boundary for a particular turbo charger in a specific automobile must be determined first. A new systematic wa...

An RF energy harvesting and storage system is described that trickle charges a battery from incident power levels as low as -25 dBm referred to the feedpoint of an 8 dBi patch antenna. The circuit is optimized for the indoor ambient power range typically observed in the 2.4 GHz ISM band so that we can harvest the energy provided by nearby Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other devices. In this incident pow...

In this work, we investigate the interesting impact of mobility on the problem of efficient wireless power transfer in ad hoc networks. We consider a set of mobile agents (consuming energy to perform certain sensing and communication tasks), and a single static charger (with finite energy) which can recharge the agents when they get in its range. In particular, we focus on the problem of effici...

Root hairs are fast growing, ephemeral tubular extensions of the root epidermis. They arise in the unsuberized maturation zone of the root, effectively increasing the root surface area in the region over which nutrient and water uptake occur. Variation in root hair length (RHL) between varieties has been shown to be genetically determined, and could, therefore, have consequences for nutrient ca...
