Development of a (silent) speech recognition system for patients following laryngectomy (2007)
Journal Article
Fagan, M. J., Ell, S. R., Gilbert, J. M., Sarrazin, E., & Chapman, P. M. (2008). Development of a (silent) speech recognition system for patients following laryngectomy. Medical engineering & physics, 30(4), 419-425. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2007.05.003

Surgical voice restoration post-laryngectomy has a number of limitations and drawbacks. The present gold standard involves the use of a tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) valve to divert air from the lungs into the throat, which vibrates, and from thi...

Design of electronic systems based on functional capability (2007)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. M. (2008). Design of electronic systems based on functional capability. Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 24(1), 3-21. https://doi.org/10.1002/qre.856

An important measure of design quality is the extent to which a circuit design is able to meets its specification in the presence of component parameter variations. Of equal importance is knowing how to improve this capability most effectively. This... Read More about Design of electronic systems based on functional capability.

The effect of stubs on the dynamics of TLM diffusion modeling networks (2000)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J., Wilkinson, A., & Pulko, S. (2000). The effect of stubs on the dynamics of TLM diffusion modeling networks. Numerical Heat Transfer, Part B Fundamentals, 37(2), 165-184. https://doi.org/10.1080/104077900275477

The dynamics of stub-loaded, diffusion-modeling transmission line matrix (TLM) nodes are investigated using the TLM-state space analogy. Analysis is performed for one-dimensional and three-dimensional nodes. Additional dynamics are identified and a s...

Evaluation of a silent speech interface based on magnetic sensing and deep learning for a phonetically rich vocabulary
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Green, P. D., Gilbert, J. M., Ell, S. R., Moore, R. K., & Holdsworth, E. Evaluation of a silent speech interface based on magnetic sensing and deep learning for a phonetically rich vocabulary. Presented at Interspeech, Stockholm, Sweden

Copyright © 2017 ISCA. To help people who have lost their voice following total laryngectomy, we present a speech restoration system that produces audible speech from articulator movement. The speech articulators are monitored by sensing changes in m...

Restoring Speech Following Total Removal of the Larynx
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Green, P. D., Gilbert, J. M., Ell, S. R., Moore, R. K., & Holdsworth, E. Restoring Speech Following Total Removal of the Larynx

© 2017 The authors and IOS Press. All rights reserved. By speech articulator movement and training a transformation to audio we can restore the power of speech to someone who has lost their larynx. We sense changes in magnetic field caused by movemen... Read More about Restoring Speech Following Total Removal of the Larynx.

Voice restoration after laryngectomy based on magnetic sensing of articulator movement and statistical articulation-to-speech conversion
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Gilbert, J. M., Bai, J., Ell, S. R., Green, P. D., & Moore, R. K. Voice restoration after laryngectomy based on magnetic sensing of articulator movement and statistical articulation-to-speech conversion. Presented at Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies 9th International Joint Conference, BIOSTEC 2016, Rome, Italy

© Springer International Publishing AG 2017. In this work, we present a silent speech system that is able to generate audible speech from captured movement of speech articulators. Our goal is to help laryngectomy patients, i.e. patients who have lost...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cheah, L. A., Gilbert, J. M., Gonzalez, J. A., Bai, J., Ell, S. R., Green, P. D., & Moore, R. K. Towards an intraoral-based silent speech restoration system for post-laryngectomy voice replacement. Presented at International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies BIOSTEC 2016: Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, Rome, Italy

© Springer International Publishing AG 2017, Silent Speech Interfaces (SSIs) are alternative assistive speech technologies that are capable of restoring speech communication for those individuals who have lost their voice due to laryngectomy or disea...

Tidal Turbine Benchmarking Exercise: Environmental Characterisation and Geometry Specification
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tucker Harvey, S. W., Chen, X., Rowe, D., Bhavsar, K., Allsop, T., Gilbert, J., Stallard, T., Vogel, C. R., & Willden, R. H. J. (2021, September). Tidal Turbine Benchmarking Exercise: Environmental Characterisation and Geometry Specification. Presented at European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC) 2021, Plymouth, UK

Uncertainty in tidal turbine loading contributes significantly to conservatism in turbine design. This uncertainty originates not only from a lack of knowledge of the flow field at a particular site, but also from lack of understanding of the fundame...
