This document is a seminar report submitted by K.Venkata Narasimha Moorthy to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Bachelor of Technology degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering. The report focuses on home automation using an Android mobile application. It was conducted under the guidance of Mr. P. Suresh, Assistant Professor and Head of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Global College of Engineering and Technology in Kadapa, India between 2013-2017.
This document proposes a 2x2 array of E-shaped patch antennas without defected ground structures for WIMAX applications between 5.66GHz and 7.12GHz. The antenna is designed on an FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6mm. Simulation results show the reflection coefficient is less than -10dB across the frequency band. Gains of 3.7 dBi and 6.2 dBi and directivities of 9.04 and 9.4 are achieved at 5.66GHz and 7.12GHz respectively, demonstrating the antenna's suitability for wireless communication systems. In conclusion, the E-shaped patch antenna array provides improved performance for the target frequencies.

Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements & Critical Materials Prospectus (v2)Gavin Harper
A material is deemed to be critical when it is economically important but at risk of short supply. These materials often contain certain elements that may be regarded as being of strategic importance to modern and future technologies. The supply constraints are driven by geological, economic,
technical or political factors, which can only be addressed by an interdisciplinary team.
The Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials encompasses expertise from across the University of Birmingham and the Birmingham Energy Institute in biosciences, chemical engineering, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, economics, law, materials science, physics and social science.
The aim of BCSECM is to develop solutions to the problem of criticality in order to alleviate these supply constraints or to substitute the strategic materials/elements with less scarce alternatives.

- Consumption of air conditioning is projected to grow dramatically by 2100 and already accounts for a large portion of electricity usage in some areas. Improving efficiency could provide major energy savings.
- Refrigeration accounts for 10% of global emissions and better equipment and practices could significantly reduce food waste and emissions.
- The UK has an opportunity to develop innovative cold technologies and capture a share of the large global market estimated at £40-110 billion. However, more support is needed for research, skills development, and demonstrating new solutions.
“Ultra-Low Emission vs. Ultra-Low Energy Vehicles in the UK market: A Busines...Gavin Harper
This document summarizes a presentation about ultra-low emission and ultra-low energy vehicles in the UK market from a business model perspective. It discusses how personal mobility remains popular despite challenges to modal shift. It also covers how the bulk of vehicle impact occurs during use, and focuses on emissions at the point of use. Business models of regimes like large automakers are compared to niches like smaller firms. Factors like key partners, activities, resources, propositions, and relationships are examined between the two. Examples of business models are provided, including how lightweighting can be a differentiation. The Riversimple model for low energy vehicles is also briefly mentioned.
The document discusses energy research and initiatives at the University of Birmingham and surrounding region. It covers several areas of energy research including fuel cell technology, cryogenic energy storage, nuclear energy, and reducing energy consumption on rail systems. It highlights partnerships between the university and industry partners to develop new energy technologies and accelerate their transition to commercial markets.
