Optimal Constant DC Link Voltage Operation of aWave Energy Converter
This article proposes a simple and reliable damping strategy for wave powerfarm operation of small-scale point-absorber converters. The strategy is based on passiverectification onto a constant DC-link, making it very suitable for grid integration of the

Evidence for an intermediate mass black hole and a multi-zone warm absorber in NGC 4395 [PDF]
We report on the results of an analysis in the X-ray band of a recent long ASCA observation of NGC 4395, the most variable low-luminosity AGN known. A relativistically-broadened iron line at ~6.4 keV is clearly resolved in the time-averaged spectrum ...
