Abstract: Fiber reinforced sandwich composite panels and methods for manufacturing are described. The fiber reinforced sandwich composite panels comprise a top layer, a bottom layer, a core layer, a continuous reinforcing yarn passing through the panel at a plurality of apertures and a continuous weft yarn interlocked with the reinforcing yarn.

Abstract: A high-power Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) includes a housing having side walls, an upper opening, and a lower opening, a VRM circuit board oriented within the housing, a plane of the VRM circuit board oriented in a parallel to at least one of the side walls of the housing, an upper Printed Circuit Board (PCB) coupled to the upper opening of the housing, a lower panel coupled to the lower opening of the housing, a coolant inlet port formed in the lower panel, and a coolant outlet port formed in the lower panel. The high power VRM may include a coolant inlet adapter coupled to the coolant inlet port and a coolant outlet adapter coupled to the coolant outlet port. The coolant inlet adapted and the coolant outlet adapter may provide support for the VRM.

Abstract: A method for protocol layer coordination of wireless energy transfer systems includes defining, by a master Internet of Things Access Point (IoTA), a set of configuration parameters. The master IoTA is one of a plurality of IoTAs. Each IoTA includes a controller in communication with a Power Access Point (PAP), an intercommunication radio and a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transceiver. The PAP is configured to energize an RFID tag, the intercommunication radio is configured to communicate between the master IoTA and a slave IoTA, and the RFID transceiver is configured to communicate with the RFID tag. Both the master IoTA and the slave IoTA are configured with the set of configuration parameters, transmitted by the master IoTA. The slave IoTA transmits an RFID command in response to the slave IoTA receiving the RFID request, from the master IoTA.

Abstract: A linear electromotive machine, for example a motor, generator and/or eddy-current brake is disclosed. The machine comprises a stator and a rotor, the rotor comprising a Halbach magnet array mounted on a fibre-reinforced polymer rotor frame. Also disclosed is a transportation system including such a machine and a method of manufacturing such a machine.
