Title: A method of controlling a mild hybrid electric vehicle
Inventor: KEES DONATUS ANDREAS JOSEPHINE
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2013-11-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a mild hybrid electric vehicle 5, with an engine 10 and high voltage and low voltage power systems selectively connectable via a DC to DC converter 14, comprises using only a low voltage battery 16 of the low voltage power system to power low voltage loads 17 during an automatic engine stop performed to save fuel and reduce emissions.

Title: MOPA with high-gain solid-state amplifier
Inventor: CLUBLEY DAVID
IPC: H01S3/23
Filed: 2014-07-03
Abstract: Radiation from a VBG-locked diode-laser at a locked wavelength of 878.6 nm is focused into a 30-mm long Nd:YVO4 optical amplifier crystal for optically pumping the crystal (24). The crystal amplifies a beam of seed-pulses from a fiber MOPA (12). The power of pump radiation is about 75 Watts. The radiation is focused into a beamwaist having a minimum diameter of about 600 micrometers. This provides an amplifier having a high gain-factor well over 100. The high-gain factor provides a gain-shaping effect on the seed-pulse beam which overcomes thermal aberrations inherent in such high-power pumping, thereby producing an amplified seed-pulse beam with M2 less than 1.3.
