This article discusses the UK's wave and tidal power industry. It begins by reviewing the current state of the technology and refers to government grants and investment issues. It then considers market costs for the generated electricity, licensing, power grid connection requirements, and reliability. It concludes by outlining the financial requirements for such a technology to become commercially viable. - Author(s): S. Hadlington

This article describes the production, using chemical vapour deposition, of single crystal synthetic diamonds. It then discusses their practical use in semiconductor devices. Diamond is a wide band gap semiconductor with high breakdown voltage, high saturation velocity, high carrier mobility, and high thermal conductivity. In addition it is extremely radiation hard. Diamond semiconductors are ideal for high-power, high-frequency electronic applications. - Author(s): C. Fry

Halley VI, the British Antarctic Survey next-generation research station on the Brunt Ice Shelf, will take portable building technology to the limit. Antarctica is one of the most challenging parts of the world to design buildings for. Constructions have to be extremely tough and easy to maintain, whilst providing a stimulating environment for the small, isolated communities that make this inhospitable continent their temporary home. This article outlines a competition launched to design a new building to replace the existing Halley V research station. It describes the environmental and technical challenges along with possible design solutions. - Author(s): S. Bains

Though the technology is still far from commonplace, the glass and window industry has steadily been introducing smart product lines because the market is, potentially, enormous. This article presents the different technologies being developed for smart windows. It details polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal privacy glass, suspended particle display (SPD) technology using electrophoresis, electrochromic layers, and thermochromic materials. For the future, being able to switch heat and light separately seems to be one of the main issues remaining to make smart windows really successful. - Author(s): J. Quillinan

Commercial buildings and public venues are often wired up with 20 or more separate networks, responsible for such diverse functions as heating, lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, energy monitoring, fire alarms, and CCTV. Such building control systems have done a decent job for decades. But they are based on proprietary solutions, each with their own local wiring, software and control panels. This article examines the use of a single Internet protocol (IP) based network to carry voice, data, video and wireless information for building control. It details the use of the extensible markup language (XML) that has been developed for data transmission with Internet technologies such as TCP/IP and HTTP. It also describes building control using Web services, often described as middleware or the software 'glue' that sticks systems together. It concludes by presenting several practical installations using this technology. - Source: IEE Review, Volume 51, Issue 4, page: 49 –49
