Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting from Hydraulic Pressure Fluctuations	Novel high-energy density source based on pressure ripples within hydraulic systems Energy harvesting is enabled through multiple configuration of piezoelectric stacks Can be arranged in different configurations to maximize current while keeping voltage levels low	5886
RF-Carrier Embedded Optical Radio-Signal	Preserves the phase-lock loop and local oscillator (LO). The pure RF carrier is a frequency source to down-convert the incoming signals at the intermediate frequency (IF), where it can be easily modulated by a low-frequency optical modulator. Frequency, phase and amplitude of the incoming signals are preserved at the IF band, since the RF carrier is spontaneously synchronized with the original source. The detector linearity is improved since the two pure optical carriers have more power compare to the optical data band.	5800
