The Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University (ASU) was founded in 2004 as a partnership between academia, industry, and government to collaborate on the development of a new generation of innovative displays and electronic circuits that are flexible, lightweight, low power, and rugged [1]. Due to the increasing need for flexible and lightweight electronic systems, FDC aims to develop materials and structural platforms that allow flexible backplane electronics to be integrated with display components that are economical for mass-production [2]. Currently, FDC is focusing on the incorporation of antenna structures, which can function cooperatively with the other flexible circuit elements. Design of flexible antennas, as a part of flexible electronic circuits, may have a very wide spectrum of applications in military and civilian wireless communication, which can allow people to wear antenna structures instead of carry them. Hence, flexible and fluidic antennas have a great potential [3]. In this paper, the design, fabrication, simulation and measurements of a bow-tie antenna with a flexible substrate is discussed. The antenna is modeled and simulated with Ansoft HFSS, and the simulations are compared with measurements performed in the Electromagnetic Anechoic Chamber (EMAC) at ASU.

Appraisal of augmented reality technologies for supporting industrial design practices
Topal, Basak; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2015-01-01)
Having become widespread and easily accessible with the rapid advancements in technology, augmented reality (AR) offers potential uses for industrial designers, especially for design students. Some design stages, during which traditional tools and methods are used, may not fully communicate the total experience that a product offers. AR can provide a digital layer in which designers can present information and make their presentations more interactive. With this aim in mind, design practice fieldwork with t...
A 3D topological tracking system for augmented reality
Ercan, Münir; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Augmented Reality (AR) has become a popular area in computer Science where research studies and technological innovations are extensive. Research in AR first began in the early 1990s and thenceforth, a number of di erent tracking algorithms and methods have been developed. Tracking systems have a critical importance for AR and marker based vision tracking systems became the mostly used tracking systems due to their low cost and ease of use. Basically, marker systems consist of special patterns that are plac...
Leveraging MOOCs with personalization and adaptation
Çelik, İlknur; Gürbüz, Tarkan (null; 2014-05-01)
The advancements in technology are accelerating the development and diffusion of new innovative e-learning solutions. The e-learning industry is growing and offering new opportunities for both formal and informal learning. Open Educational Resources (OER) movement has gained considerable attention recently as an attempt to provide digital materials that can be used, and repurposed for teaching and learning. OER are becoming very popular learning materials including full courses, textbooks, modules, syllabi,...
SCIentific gateway Based User Support (SCI-BUS)
Şener, Cevat(2014-9-30)
SCI-BUS will create a generic-purpose gateway technology as a toolset to provide seamless access to major computing, data and networking infrastructures and services in Europe including clusters, supercomputers, grids, desktop grids, academic and commercial clouds. SCI-BUS will elaborate an application-specific gateway building technology and customisation methodology based on which user communities can easily develop their own customised gateways. SCI-BUS will use the gateway technology and customization m...
Barriers and opportunities for integrating sustainable product design into Ankara small and medium-sized furniture enterprises
Okursoy, Mehmet Erçin; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs (null; 2019-09-19)
Sustainable Product Design (SPD) has become a major field of study indesign since 1990’s. In spite of the fact that literature and terminology ismostly stated on case studies carried out with large-scale enterprises,small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have a greater share inemployment and manufacturing which are also crucial for social aspectsof sustainability. Furniture enterprises in Ankara are selected for thisstudy due to the impact of product design in the market as well as thegreater share of em...
