A directionally tunable but frequency-invariant beamformer on an acoustic velocity-sensor triad to enhance speech perception (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wu, Y. I., Wong, K. T., Yuan, X., Lau, S. K., & Tang, S. K. A directionally tunable but frequency-invariant beamformer on an acoustic velocity-sensor triad to enhance speech perception

Herein investigated are computationally simple microphone-array beamformers that are independent of the frequency-spectra of all signals, all interference, and all noises. These beamformers allow the listener to tune the desired azimuth-elevation "lo...

This research presents a prototype of a direct-driven, optimized and light-mass hand exoskeleton that is designed to fit over the dorsal side of the hand, thus retaining palm free for interaction with real/virtual objects. The link lengths of the pro... Read More about HEXOSYS II - Towards realization of light mass robotics for the hand.

Conditional frequency mapping of move reservoir sedimentation models for improved play assessment (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Waltham, D. A., Rowley, P. J., Burgess, P. M., & MacLean, S. (2012, February). Conditional frequency mapping of move reservoir sedimentation models for improved play assessment. Paper presented at Petroleum Play Assessment

Stratigraphic forward models encode what we know about dynamic stratigraphy in the form of a numerical model that can make various types of predictions of stratal geometries and facies distributions. Unfortunately, limited knowledge of the physical l... Read More about Conditional frequency mapping of move reservoir sedimentation models for improved play assessment.

Wittgenstein's 'Picture-Theory' and the Aesthetic Experience of Clear Thoughts (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wilson, D. Wittgenstein's 'Picture-Theory' and the Aesthetic Experience of Clear Thoughts. Presented at 33rd International Ludwig Wittgenstein-Symposium, 2010, Kirchberg

In the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus Wittgenstein appeals to clarity when he characterises the aim, task and results of philosophy. In this essay I suggest that his ‘picture theory’ of language implies that clarity has aesthetic significance in phil...
