Estimation of energy and material use of sintering-based construction for a lunar outpost - with the example of SinterHab module design

In this paper, we would revisit the usability of microwave for lunar regolith sintering through an in-depth experiment, and examine the minimum materials and energy required for sintering based on the SinterHab design. This will include the minimum layers to print, estimated printing time, minimum energy required for the sintering process and the potential energy sources

Implementation scenarios for 3DP

There are many ways to implement 3D printing to gain a commercial advantage. This chapter provides a detailed examination of the various business models that are currently being employed within the industry, focusing on home, retail, and outsourced manufacturing bureaus. Subsequently the work considers prospects for future approaches to implementation, exploring a range of potential opportunities that may be employed competitively in the near future

Lessons from hands-free data entry in flexible cystoscopy with Glass for future smart assistance

We explore how Google Glass can be used to annotate cystoscopy findings in a hands-free and reproducible manner by surgeons during operations in the sterile environment inspired by the current practice of hand-drawn sketches. We present three data entry variants involving head movements and speech input. In an experiment with 8 surgeons and Foundation Doctors having up to 30 years’ cystoscopy experience at a UK hospital we assessed the feasibility, benefits and draw-backs of the system. We report data entry speed and error rate of input modalities and contrast it with the participants’ feedback on their perception of usability, acceptance, and suitability for deployment. These results offer an expanded analysis of the participants’ feedback compared to a previous analysis. The results highlight the potential of new data entry technologies and point out directions for future improvement of eyewear computers. The findings can be generalised to other endoscopic procedures (e.g. OGD/laryngoscopy) and could be included with-in hospital IT in the future.
