In doing this he discovered an alternative method for generating a more efficient swimming robot which could be used for underwater surveys.Daniel’s desire for delving into marine movements comes from his previous career as a Merchant Navy Seaman.He said: “The prototypes are of significant interest especially in shallow water or cluttered environments where conventional torpedo unmanned vehicles don’t perform as well due to limited manoeuvrability or propeller snarling.”Daniel gained welcome recognition for his work to date when he addressed the annual UK Marine Technology Postgraduate Conference on his research. Daniel beat off competition from other universities to receive the prize for best presentation, which has won him subscription to three further prestigious conferences in the marine world.Daniel’s mentor at the University and Lecturer in Intelligent Autonomous Control Systems, Sanjay Sharma, said: “The annual event aims to highlight the work postgraduates and early career researchers are doing and provide a network for their future. To achieve this level will give Daniel the boost he needs to get his idea off the ground.”Daniel is hoping his design prototype will become a reality in the next year so he can pitch it to industry experts.Meantime, he is working on a paper which he will deliver at a conference in France on climbing and walking robots.[mappress]Source: Plymouth, October 04 , 2011 View post tag: Naval View post tag: to View post tag: Idea UK: Student’s Idea to Help Underwater Exploration Share this article read more
Share this article Back to overview,Home naval-today Australian Navy frigate tackles logistics following ASMD upgrade View post tag: ASMD Australian Navy frigate tackles logistics following ASMD upgrade View post tag: Royal Australian Navy View post tag: HMAS Toowoomba May 22, 2017 After completing her anti-ship missile defense upgrade that saw her stripped of all her inventory, Royal Australian Navy’s Anzac-class frigate HMAS Toowoomba had a significant logistics challenge to tackle.The frigate is currently performing sea trials after being re-supplied with everything from hardware and machinery to beds and kitchen cutlery utilising the latest inventory management systems.Executive Officer Lieutenant Commander Hamish Frazer said the six-month process of replacing the ship’s allowance had been one of the most challenging but beneficial exercises for the new crew.“We have now validated the inventory for Toowoomba so we have a good understanding of what is required for frigates, and that should have a major benefit for Defence in future,” Lieutenant Commander Frazer said.“The biggest challenge was identifying what you need to run a ship and we had to go through the hull space by space,” Chief Petty Officer Maritime Logistics – Supply Chain Daniel Byers, who has overseen the addition of more than 9,000 items of stores to the ship, said.“The process saw the team order in the equivalent of 400 pallets of stores.“To picture it another way – 25 shipping containers if the pallets are stacked two high, he said.The ‘Swiss Army Knife’ responsibilities of logistics range from the issue of equipment through to general duties like seamanship evolutions and force protection.Toowoomba is expected to begin work-ups to complete her operational readiness later this month.

Kingsmill has teamed up with Young’s in a deal that marks the brand’s surprise move into the frozen sector.The company has put its logo on a new range of Young’s four Large Cod and Haddock Fillets in Kingsmill breadcrumbs.A TV ad campaign, launching on 14 February, will highlight the use of the bread brand’s crumbs in the coating.Lou Ellerton, senior consultant at brand agency The Value Engineers, said that, by choosing to pair up with Kingsmill, Young’s was tapping into the latter’s values of down-to-earth, everyday eating. “There’s potential to make more of the partnership by building on Kingsmill’s 50/50 offer, making fish a more acceptable ’semi-healthy’ choice for mums keen to get kids eating better foods.”However, she added there had previously been little focus on the secondary ingredients in coated fish, with anecdotal evidence suggesting few consumers were bothered about the source of the breadcrumbs. She said: “I wonder how many people make the connection between the breadcrumbs on their fish and the loaf sitting in their kitchen. It’s unlikely we’ll see a dramatic shift in consumers’ views of either brand.”>>Kingsmill’s smooth style read more
