Farrelly, I. (author), Loske, B. (author), Neele, F. (author), Holdstock, M. (author)The largest single point CO2 emitter in Ireland, the Moneypoint Power Station (3.95 Mt CO2 per annum), is located in Co. Clare and geologically lies within the Clare Basin. In terms of the economics of transportation of CO2 from Moneypoint, a possible local storage site would be favoured. The study investigated a number of critical criteria with...conference paper 2011

Garakoui, S.K. (author), Klumperink, E.A.M. (author), Nauta, B. (author), van Vliet, F.E. (author)Practical time delay circuits do not have a perfectly linear phase-frequency characteristic. When these delay circuits are applied in a phased-array system, this frequency dependency shows up as a frequency dependent beam direction (“beam squinting”). This paper quantifies beam squinting for a linear one-dimensional phased array with equally...conference paper 2011

Mouthaan, M.M. (author), van den Broek, S.P. (author), Hendriks, E.A. (author), Schwering, P.B.W. (author)We evaluate the performance of different key-point detectors and region descriptors when used for automatic classification of small sea targets in infrared video. In our earlier research performed on this subject as well as in other literature, many different region descriptors have been proposed. However, it is unclear which methods are most...article 2011

(author), Westerhof, E. (author), Witvoet, G. (author)Resistive magneto-hydrodynamic instabilities are expected to limit the performance of nuclear fusion reactors. Prime examples are the sawtooth instability and the neoclassical tearing modes. The sawtooth instability will affect the refueling of the plasma core and the fast particle concentration. In reactor relevant conditions, the sawtooth can...conference paper 2011

(author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) enable fuel savings by re-using kinetic and potential energy that was recovered and stored in a battery during braking or driving down hill. Besides, the vehicle itself can be seen as a storage device, where kinetic energy can be stored and retrieved by changing the forward velocity. It is beneficial for fuel...conference paper 2010

Wessels, P.W. (author), Basten, T.G.H. (author), van der Eerden, F.J.M. (author)In this paper the approach for an acoustical model based monitoring network is demonstrated. This network is capable of reconstructing a noise map, based on the combination of measured sound levels and an acoustic model of the area. By pre-calculating the sound attenuation within the network the noise map can be shown in real-time. The...conference paper 2010
