Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Roy, R., & Corney, J. (2014, October). Challenges and opportunities in transforming laser system industry to deliver integrated product and service offers. Presented at 15th IFIP WG 5.5 Working Conference on Virtual Enterprises, PRO-VE 2014, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Laser system industry is a complex network entity that includes laser component manufacturer, laser manufacturer, system integrator, laser job shop, laser process developer and end product manufacturer. Currently this market segment is predominately... Read More about Challenges and opportunities in transforming laser system industry to deliver integrated product and service offers.

Epsilon-Near-Zero Nanoantennas (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L. (2014, September). Epsilon-Near-Zero Nanoantennas. Presented at 9th International Conference on Body Area Networks, London, Great Britain

In this paper the design of Epsilon Near Zero (ENZ) antennas, working in the infrared and optical regime, is presented. Two different structures are considered: the classical PEC antenna and the dielectric dipole covered by ENZ material antenna. The... Read More about Epsilon-Near-Zero Nanoantennas.

Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaen-Sola, P., & McDonald, A. S. (2014, September). Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines. Presented at 3rd Renewable Power Generation Conference (RPG 2014), Naples, Italy

Wind turbine direct-drive generator structures are analysed in order to optimise and reduce mass. A method for modelling key stiffness parameters including a magnetic air-gap stiffness is outlined. Different approaches are used to parametrically calc... Read More about Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines.

Metasurface-Epsilon Near Zero-based Electromagnetic Wave Absorber (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L. (2014, September). Metasurface-Epsilon Near Zero-based Electromagnetic Wave Absorber. Presented at 9th International Conference on Body Area Networks, London, Great Britain

The purpose of this paper is to design a new electromagnetic wave absorber. It consists of a planar layered structure with an isotropic Epsilon-Near-Zero (ENZ) material and a gold metal inclusion, both placed over a perfect conductor (PEC) plate. Abs...

Social Implications of Crowdsourcing in Rural Scotland (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., Acur, N., Lynn, A., Jagadeesan, A., Smith, M., & Agrawal, A. (2014, June). Social Implications of Crowdsourcing in Rural Scotland. Presented at International Conference on Advances in Social Science, Economics and Management Study - SEM 2014, London, United Kingdom

Various surveys mentioned that the commercial benefits of Internet crowdsourcing are reaped largely by people located in metro areas and smaller cities. The impact of crowdsourcing on the rural population is questionable. The aim of this research is... Read More about Social Implications of Crowdsourcing in Rural Scotland.

Towards crowdsourcing spatial manufacturing tasks from rural India (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., Jagadeeshan, A., Lynn, A., Acur Bakir, N., Smith, M., & Agrawal, A. (2014, September). Towards crowdsourcing spatial manufacturing tasks from rural India. Presented at 12th International Conference on Manufacturing Research, Southampton, UK

Many tasks involving production software that involve spatial reasoning can only produce "good" rather than optimum solutions. It is frequently possible for humans to improve on algorithmically generated solutions computed by CAD/CAM software. The th...

Relative energy consumption of low-cost 3D printers (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walls, S., Corney, J., & Vasantha, G. (2014, September). Relative energy consumption of low-cost 3D printers. Presented at 12th International Conference on Manufacturing Research (ICMR 2014), Southampton, UK

The potential of low cost, 3D printing to support distributed manufacture in remote, rural communities has been noted by several observers. However the economic practicality of such proposals has not yet been clearly established and although some ove... Read More about Relative energy consumption of low-cost 3D printers.

Usage of gestures along with other interaction modes in collaborative design (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., Prakash Ramesh, H., Mouli Sugavanam, C., & Chakrabarti, A. (2014, September). Usage of gestures along with other interaction modes in collaborative design. Presented at 12th International Conference on Manufacturing Research, Southampton, UK

Currently many computer-aided multi-modal interaction tools are under development, and some have demonstrated their applications in design. To avoid disruptive transformation from current design tools to multi-modal designing, there is a need for sev...
