[REPORT SUMMARY] Personal navigation system for indoor environments - a testbed
Motivation
In a rescue situation it is essential to know the position of all human entities. Above all this is a safety issue, but also the modelling and visualization of human perception data depends on accurate position information. Knowing ones position allows efficient coo...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Development of state-of-the-art nanoscale magnetic detectors
The NPL group obtained several SQUID from various sources, both from within the consortium and from external contacts which were made during the course of the year and through its co-funding UK DTI activities. A SQUID sensitivity of the order of just 40 spin/Hz1/2 at 4.2°K was...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Purification and isotope enrichment of magnetic qubits
Reversal of the Mn12 cluster spin can occur either classically, by thermal activation, or quantum mechanically, by tunnelling through the barrier. SMMs are attractive model systems to study the effects of coupling magnetic qubits to the environment (nuclear moments, phonons), ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Labelling and preparation of magnetic units in pure quantum states
Controlled deposition of magnetic qubits in pure quantum spin states:
- Approach 1: In our group we have developed a new soft, reliable and simple methodology to address individual Mn12 molecules onto a film surface. Such a methodology is based on the preparation of nanocompo...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Evaluation of nano-magnet detection devices
Mn12 patterned arrays supplied by CSIC were imaged by NPL using scanned probes ranging from AFM, MFM STM to UHV-Low temperature STM. The imaging of magnetic nanoparticles by scanned probes as we demonstrated is also a vital aspect for many of the areas of emerging nano-technol...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Immobilisation of RNA on nanofabricated electrodes
Methods have been developed to specifically immobilise and quantify the amount of functionalised oligonucleotides and RNA oligomers on the surface of both gold and reactive polymer modified electrodes. The reactive polymer can be either an activated ester of a poly (pyrrole) d...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Electrical measurement of self-assembled structures
Self-assembled structures that have been placed on to electrode systems have been characterised electrically as a function of temperature. Evidence of Coulomb blockade and activated conduction has been identified. A variety of different samples made using different techniques ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] New principles for effective collaboration between humans and robots
The PeLoTe system concept is suitable for next generation of teleoperation and telediagnosis system incorporating both humans and (semi) autonomous robots. Integration of the autonomous robots (non-living) and humans (living) entities addresses not only a standard concept for ...

Last updated on: 2006-08-01
Integration of the autonomous robots and humans entities addresses not only a standard concept for tele-presence and tele-operation but utterly novel hybrid approach for data and knowledge sharing. Since in this concept, robots and humans cooperate and coordinate their activit...
