Recent commercial developments in the optical fiber industry have raised the possibility of supplying the local oscillator signal for the MMA by generating two optical signals differing in frequency by the required local oscillator frequency. These two optical signals may then be transmitted over a single optical fiber to each antenna. Within the receiver dewar, the two optical signals are mixe...

These are typically surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, and act as bandpass filters in both the radio frequency and intermediate frequency sections of the ...

China is the biggest country of coal production and coal consumption in the world (IEA). In 1998, China produced 1250 Mt of raw coal, accounting for 27.5% of total coal production in the world, and holding 71.9% of primary energy in China (SSB). Coal provides 77% of the energy for power generation, 65% of chemical raw material, and more than 50% of commercial civilian energy. The coal industry ...

This paper argues that the electric power industry must move toward a model in which transmission service is viewed as a commercial activity, a business. The current models of integrated utilities and quasi-public, not-for-profit Independent System Operators have led to a trend of under-investment. The current model of transmission operation divorces ownership and control and, as a not-for-prof...

The World Trade Organisation's Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights [TRIPS] agreement aimed to harmonise intellectual property rights and patent protection globally. In India, the signing of this agreement resulted in a sharp increase in clinical trials since 2005. The Indian government, along with larger Indian pharmaceutical companies, believed that they could change existing commercial...
