An Appreciation of the Subtleties of Shared Channels in occam3 (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Waithe, S., & Kerridge, J. (1993). An Appreciation of the Subtleties of Shared Channels in occam3. In Transputer and Occam Research: New Directions (232-245)

By exploiting virtual channels implemented on the INMOS T9000 transputer, occam3 offers the facility of sharing. This allows us to declare a channel as SHARED which then allows an arbitrary number of processes to communicate across this channel. By m...

Automatic Position and Orientation Correction for Automated Assembly Robots (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Rea, H. J., Raeside, R., & Lewis, J. (1993). Automatic Position and Orientation Correction for Automated Assembly Robots. In Proceedings of the Thirtieth International MATADOR Conference, 699-704. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-13255-3_88

For assembly purposes, robot accuracy is critical only in small well-defined volumes, such as immediately over a pallet or work table where pieces are being lifted and assembled. Since the volumes are small it is possible to consider the robot system... Read More about Automatic Position and Orientation Correction for Automated Assembly Robots.

Development of a real time Image analysis system for traffic monitoring applications. (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Thompson, M. S., Wan, C. L., & Binnie, T. D. (1993). Development of a real time Image analysis system for traffic monitoring applications. . https://doi.org/10.4203/ccp.17.8.2

Image processing offers unparalleled potential for traffic monitoring and control. For many years engineers have attempted to perfect the art of automatic data abstraction from sequences of video images. This paper outlines a research project underta...

Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Buchanan, W. J., Gupta, N. K., & Arnold, J. M. (1993). Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.

The authors have used the FDTD method to model and predict the radiation patterns from a microstrip antenna. One problem in modelling microstrip antennas is that these structures are highly resonant. The authors have described techniques to reduce th... Read More about Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method..

HERMES - High Efficiency Roads with Rerouteing Methods and Traffic Signal Control. (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Bielefeldt, C. (1993). HERMES - High Efficiency Roads with Rerouteing Methods and Traffic Signal Control.

HERMES is one of the projects in the European ATT Programme. The ATT Programme (or DRIVE II as it is frequently referred to) is an application oriented Community Research and Technological Development Programme that has been conceived and implemented...

Automatic Incident Detection and Driver Warning in PORTICO. (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Bielefeldt, C. (1993). Automatic Incident Detection and Driver Warning in PORTICO.

This paper focuses on the low-volume incident detection and subsequent driver warning objectives of the PORTICO project. It proposes Automatic Incident Detection (AID) which uses a multimodel approach comprised of a number of different algorithms. A...

Viewing objects. (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1993). Viewing objects. In M. Worboys, & A. F. Grundy (Eds.), Advances in databases: Proceedings of the 11th British National Conference on Database Systems (93-110). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-56921-9_6

This paper examines the incorporation of database views into an object oriented conceptual model. An approach is presented where views are themselves objects, instances of view classes. These view objects provide new ways of interacting with preexist... Read More about Viewing objects..

Using a persistent system to construct a customised interface to an ecological db. (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Barclay, P. J., Fraser, C., & Kennedy, J. (1993). Using a persistent system to construct a customised interface to an ecological db. In Interfaces to Database Systems: Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Interfaces to Database Systems (IDS92), Glasgow, 1-3 July 1992 (225-243)

New applications of information technology have increasingly sophisticated user interface requirements. Such interfaces are sometimes highly application specific and therefore require to be customised to the given application area. Technology is requ...
