Providing accurate ways of monitoring children's respiration
Our client, Sheffield Children's Hospital, identified a need to develop new equipment to monitor the respiration activity of patients. They approached our Materials and Engineering Research Institute for help
Human-Robot Interaction
CARR includes years of experience with direct ('in-the-field') human robot interaction as well as assistive robotics and robotic machines and aids in dangerous or low-visibility conditions
Miniman
The MINIMAN project concerns the development of a smart microrobot with five degrees of freedom and a size of few centimetres squared
Motion models of mobile robots
Details of motion models of mobile robots project undertaken by Sheffield Hallam University's Materials and Engineering Research Institute
Medical Image Processing and Visualisation
A software for automatically segmenting dissimilar regions in medical images acquired with magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography or ultrasonography has been developed and implemented
Fire retardant unsaturated polyester nanocomposites
The ability of well-dispersed organomodified clays to enhance the fire retardency of thermoplastic polymers is well established, but thermoset polyester has received relatively little attention
Oilfield chemistry - controlling sand production
The objective of this project is to bind sand grains together whilst maintaining formation porosity and fluid flow
Polymer-clay nanocomposites for packaging - FlexPakRenew
Design and development of an innovative eco-efficient low-substrate flexible paper packaging from renewable resources to replace petroleum-based barrier films
Raman spectroscopy of White Portland cement
The grey colour of ordinary Portland cement is due to the presence of ferrite, the presence of which is unwelcome in White Portland cement (WPC)
Raman spectroscopy of pure clinker phases
Cement powders contain four major hydraulic constituents, ie clinker phases, which hydrate at different rates and thus influence important factors such as setting time, workability and mechanical strength
