Summary

Researchers from 
the University of 
Surrey have developed a 
novel design of multi-quantum well (MQW) laser that possesses a reduced thermal 
sensitivity over a wide temperature range. Bandgap engineering alone is used to 
improve the thermal stability of threshold current and slope efficiency compared 
to traditional techniques. The patent-pending approach is fully compatible with 
standard MQW materials and growth methods, and hence is readily adoptable by 
existing MQW fabricators.

Summary
We can accurately estimate which way a mobile phone user is facing 
regardless of the position of their phone or its 
orientation.
&nbsp;
Knowing which way a user is facing can provide valuable information for 
the provision of mobile services and applications. The proposed technology 
utilises inertial sensors that are readily available in mobile consumer devices 
(e.g. smart phones). While providing high accuracy, the solution is able to cope 
with arbitrary wearing positions and orientations of the mobile consumer device, 
making it suitable for use in every-day life ...]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 03 Apr 2012 06:18:11 GMT</pubDate><author>elaine.white@surrey.ac.uk</author><guid>http://surrey.technologypublisher.com/technology/9163</guid></item><item><title>Mobile Devices Spectrum Sensing</title><caseId>NST-MP</caseId><link>http://surrey.technologypublisher.com/technology/8931</link><description><![CDATA[

Improved growth of protein crystals using molecularly imprinted

Scientists from the University of Surrey and Imperial College London have 
come up with an invention 
which uses hydrogel based molecularly imprinted polymers (HydroMIPs) for protein 
crystallization, providing a higher yield of protein crystals over current 
techniques. This method also works with protein structures that are difficult to 
crystallise using other methods.

Summary
Radio frequency (RF) 
radiation is often used in the communication fields for signal receiving and 
transmission. There is however a lot of interference which needs to be 
suppressed and the current techniques used for this are expensive and often hard 
to integrate in to Integrated Circuits (IC's). Integrated circuits are used in 
almost all electronic equipment in use today and have revolutionized the world 
of electronics.

Our technique solves 
the current problem of integrating high quality filtering components with RF 
signal processing.

Summary
We have found that a derivative from wood or bark

Summary
Researchers at the Centre for Communications Systems Research, University of Surrey, have developed a novel method for 
isolating multiple sound sources in a noisy environment. Sound sources can be 
individually separated, emphasized, suppressed, or modified and then recombined 
in any 3D spatial configuration. All processing is done in real-time and no 
prior knowledge of the number or location of the sources is 
required.

Current 
models of audio testing measure `basic audio quality', using subjects to judge
