Recent Advances in Conjugated Polymers for Light Emitting Devices

Abstract: A recent advance in the field of light emitting polymers has been the discovery of electroluminescent conjugated polymers, that is, kind of fluorescent polymers that emit light when excited by the flow of an electric current. These new generation fluorescent materials may now challenge the domination by inorganic semiconductor materials of the commercial market in light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes (LED) and polymer laser devices. This review provides information on unique properties of conjugated polymers and how they have been optimized to generate these properties. The review is organized in three sections focusing on the major advances in light emitting materials, recent literature survey and understanding the desirable properties as well as modern solid state lighting and displays. Recently, developed conjugated polymers are also functioning as roll-up displays for computers and mobile phones, flexible solar panels for power portable equipment as well as organic light emitting diodes in displays, in which television screens, luminous traffic, information signs, and light-emitting wallpaper in homes are also expected to broaden the use of conjugated polymers as light emitting polymers. The purpose of this review paper is to examine conjugated polymers in light emitting diodes (LEDs) in addition to organic solid state laser. Furthermore, since conjugated polymers have been approved as light-emitting organic materials similar to inorganic semiconductors, it is clear to motivate these organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and organic lasers for modern lighting in terms of energy saving ability. In addition, future aspects of conjugated polymers in LEDs were also highlighted in this review.

Three-phase doubly fed induction generators: an overview

Abstract: Adjustable speed induction generators, especially the doubly fed induction generators (DFIG), are becoming increasingly popular due to their various advantages over fixed speed generator systems. A DFIG in a wind turbine has the ability to generate maximum power with varying rotational speed, ability to control active and reactive power by the integration of electronic power converters such as the back-to-back converter, low rotor power rating resulting in low cost converter components, and so on. This study presents an extensive literature survey over past 25 years on the different aspects of DFIG.

Nonnegativity constraints in numerical analysis.

Abstract: A survey of the development of algorithms for enforcing nonnegativity constraints in scientific computation is given. Special emphasis is placed on such constraints in least squares computations in numerical linear algebra and in nonlinear optimization. Techniques involving nonnegative low-rank matrix and tensor factorizations are also emphasized. Details are provided for some important classical and modern applications in science and engineering. For completeness, this report also includes an effort toward a literature survey of the various algorithms and applications of nonnegativity constraints in numerical analysis.

Overview and literature survey of fuzzy set theory in power systems

Abstract: Increasing interest has been seen in applying fuzzy set theory to power systems problems from the number of publications on this topic. As a relatively new research topic a need is felt to pay more attention to the understanding of the basic principles of the theory and the identification of problems suitable for solving by this method. This paper presents a survey of publications on applications of fuzzy set theory to power systems and the basic procedures for fuzzy set based methods to solve specific power systems problems. Simple numerical examples are used to show the practical procedures of problem formulation and solution. Theses examples are: generator maintenance scheduling, dynamic programming, and power system stabiliser. >
