Further Developments in the Taylor 'V' Type VAWT Concept.
(Pergamon PressMontreal, Canada, 1985-06)This paper describes the development of the Taylor 'V' Type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (V-VAWT) which was first described at the 1983 ISES Solar Energy Congress in Perth, Australia. The aerodynamic performance prediction ... -
The Aerodynamic Control of the 'V' Type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine by Blade Tip Control
(Mechanical Engineering Publications Ltd.London, 1986-08)This paper presents results of wind tunnel tests carried out on a small V-type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (V-VAWT). This model wind turbine was specifically designed to study the effect of tip area and tip pitch on the ... -
Two-level recognition of isolated word using neural nets
(1989-12-01)This paper describes a neural-net based isolated word recogniser that has a better performance on a standard multi-speaker database than our reference Hidden Markov Model recogniser. The complete neural net recogniser is ... -
Real-time portable multi-layer perceptron voice fundamental-period extractor for hearing aids and cochlear implants
(1990-01-01)Previous work has shown that it is possible to train a multi-layer perceptron to estimate the voice fundamental period (Tx) for multiple speakers in the presence of high levels of background noise. The algorithm has been ... -
Further developments of a neural network speech fundamental period estimation algorithm
(1991-12-01)This work describes a speech fundamental period estimation algorithm that estimates the time of excitation of the vocal tract using a pattern classifier, the multi-layer perceptron (MLP). The pattern classifier was trained ... -
Visual Impact Assessment - There's more to it than meets the eye!
(1992)The visual impact of a wind farm is one of the major causes of concern for all current U.K. wind farm projects. Often visual impact is the single most important issue on which a planning application is judged. A fair and ... -
Progress in the development of a video-based wind farm simulation technique
(Nottingham, UK, 1992)The progress in the development of a video-based wind farm simulation technique is reviewed. While improvements have been achieved in the quality of the composite picture created by combining computer generated animation ... -
Wind Turbines In The Landscape: Final Report & Script
(1994)The aim of this project was to produce a video film where the visual impact issues associated with current UK wind farms are addressed. The video is targeted to an audience of planners, planning committee members, planning ... -
Design Practice in the UK Car Industry: How Coventry University is Addressing the Needs
(Pilsen, Czech Republic, 1994)This paper considers the needs of the UK car industry and identifies specific situations that have serious implications upon design practice. The response at Coventry University to these needs and how Design plays a major ... -
Design Practice in the UK Car Industry: How Coventry University is Addressing the Needs
(Prague, Czech Republic, 1995)This paper considers the needs of the UK car industry and identifies specific situations that have serious implications upon design practice. The response at Coventry University to these needs is discussed and our PAKTS ... -
Design With Attitude: A Key World Class Method
(Tampere, Finland, 1997)World Class Design by implication can best be achieved by adopting world class methods. ICED conferences continue to disseminate methodologies to help make designers and design teams more effective and efficient. At ICED ... -
Construction and Consequences of Coloured Charges in QCD
(1997-06-27)This talk reports on work aimed at improving our understanding of charged states in gauge theories.Emphasis is placed on different ways of implementingthe gauge invariance of physical states. QED perturbative calculations ... -
Problem Based Learning and its use on the Automotive Engineering Design Course at Coventry University
(Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine, University of London, London, UK, 1998)The Automotive Engineering Design course at Coventry University has been in operation since October 1989 and has earned a reputation for creating able engineers well prepared for industry. When originally conceived, a ... -
Creating Practitioners of Design for Quality Through Education

Towards a New Framework for Product Development
(Technical University of Denmark.Copenhagen, Denmark, 2000)In the mid-1980s, Andreasen and Hein first described their model of Integrated Product Development. Many Danish companies quickly embraced the principles of integrated product development and adapted the model to their ... -
What is the new paradigm in product quality?
(Technical University of DenmarkCopenhagen, Denmark, 2000)The current product quality paradigm is founded upon a customer-focused product development process, in which the functionality and behaviour of a product are designed to fulfil the needs of customers, and technological ... -
From robotic toil to symbolic theft: Grounding transfer from entry-level to higher-level categories
(2000-01-01)Neural network models of categorical perception (compression of within-category similarity and dilation of between-category differences) are applied to the symbol-grounding problem (of how to connect symbols with meanings) ... -
Multi-Board Concept - A Scenario Based Approach for Supporting Product Quality and Life Cycle Oriented Design
(Delft, Nederlands, 2000-04)This paper will describe the multi-board concept, which is a working approach for supporting life cycle oriented design and product quality. Aspects of this concept include construction of a common working environment ... -
The Chain of Quality through Integrated Product Development
(Zielona Góra, Poland, 2000-10)Today, it is almost impossible to find a manufacturer who has not been significantly influenced by the quality culture, but it is evident that some are doing more to improve their product quality than others are. The ...
