Raising the Internet's Quality of Service through improved congestion management. This project aims to develop methods for improving the service quality of the internet by better management of congestion. Improved service quality will be evident to internet users in the form of reduced delay and data loss. The proposed research is significant because as well as improving service quality, it will facilitate delivery of internet services over poor quality communications infrastructure such as is p ....Raising the Internet's Quality of Service through improved congestion management. This project aims to develop methods for improving the service quality of the internet by better management of congestion. Improved service quality will be evident to internet users in the form of reduced delay and data loss. The proposed research is significant because as well as improving service quality, it will facilitate delivery of internet services over poor quality communications infrastructure such as is present in many remote and regional areas of Australia. It also will result in more efficient utilisation of telecommunications infrastructure. The project will deliver implementations in the form of software which is easily installed in any computer.Read moreRead less
A Novel Inline High-Efficiency Motor/Pump System. Around 19% of the world’s and 30% of the Australia’s electric energy is consumed by pump technologies. Significant energy savings are possible if the major components of pump systems, including inverter, motor and pump, operate at their maximum possible efficiency under varying loads. A novel pump design in this project accommodates integrated electronics in a submersible housing. A seal-less design helps mitigate several aspects of pump failure ....A Novel Inline High-Efficiency Motor/Pump System. Around 19% of the world’s and 30% of the Australia’s electric energy is consumed by pump technologies. Significant energy savings are possible if the major components of pump systems, including inverter, motor and pump, operate at their maximum possible efficiency under varying loads. A novel pump design in this project accommodates integrated electronics in a submersible housing. A seal-less design helps mitigate several aspects of pump failure and its in-line structure reduces assembly cost. Accurately measured efficiency maps will be utilised to demonstrate the non-linear relationship between motor and pump quantities as well as developing models for indirectly estimating feedback quantities and achieving the highest system efficiency.Read moreRead less
