He is the President and founder of A & R Cambridge Ltd, which has designed and manufactured high quality consumer hi-fi audio-video products in Cambridge for the past 30 years under the brand name ARCAM. He is a member of the Audio Engineering Society and is currently its UK group's vice chairman. Synopsis If it's digital it must be good - right? Whilst there is no doubt that digital audio done right can be acoustically transparent, the reality is that there are infinite ways to screw up the final sound. These range all the way from fundamental misunderstandings, leading to careless processing, all the way through to deliberate and often unpleasant distortions inflicted on the final customer. We plan to demonstrate some of the fundamentals of sampling, quantising, data conversion and data reduction as applied to audio and to illustrate this with examples of real recordings and transmissions, both good and bad. Professor Sir Richard Friend FRS, FREng Cavendish Professor of Physics, University of Cambridge Sir Richard Friend has been on the Faculty in the Department of Physics, University of Cambridge, since 1980, where he is the Cavendish Professor of Physics. Professor Friend has pioneered the study of organic polymers as semiconductors, and his research group has demonstrated that these materials can be used in a wide range of semiconductor devices, including light-emitting diodes and transistors. He has been very active in the process of technology transfer of this research to development for products. He co-founded Cambridge Display Technology Ltd in 1994. Light-emitting polymer displays developed by Cambridge Display Technology are now being manufactured under licence and are now used in a number of consumer products. He co-founded Plastic Logic Ltd in 2000 to develop directly-printed polymer transistor circuits. He is currently working on the use of polymer and related materials for thin-film photovoltaic diode applications. Synopsis Plastics (or, more correctly, polymers), are traditionally used within the electronics industry as 'passive' materials, for encapsulation or for their electrically-insulating properties. However, there is now a class of polymers which can behave as semiconductors or as metals. Our understanding of the semiconductor physics of these materials has enabled us to use them as the active components in a range of devices. Polymer light-emitting diodes, LEDs, show particular promise, providing full colour range and high efficiency. Sir Richard will discuss how the chemical bonding in molecules and polymers allows useful semiconducting properties to be obtained, and how these must be harnessed in novel semiconductor device architectures. In some respects, these strategies resemble those already adopted by biology, for example in photosynthesis, and examples will be shown where the interfaces control charge separation (in solar cells) or combination (in LEDs). Richard Catlow, Senior Electrification & Plant Testing & Commissioning Engineer, Network Rail Richard Catlow joined BR as a technical apprentice in 1987 and specialised in Electrification & Plant where he worked on a number of renewal and enhancement projects. Upon privatisation he left and spent time with both Mott MacDonald in the UK and Parson Brinckerhoff in Malaysia working on general T&D projects. Upon his return to the UK he joined Railtrack in 1997 as the Head of E&P for the Thameslink 2000 project and latterly as Professional Head of E&P for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link with Union Railways. In early 2002 he was asked to lead the system design aspects of the Southern Region New Trains Programme. Since 2005 he has managed Network Rail's Electrification & Plant Test Section, undertaking investigations and tests of all the company's E&P assets. Synopsis In 1999, Her Majestey's Government enacted the RailwaysSafety Regulations which required the replacement of 1976 "Mk1" based rail vehicle by December 2005. This presentation will examine this project, which saw the delivery of 2120 new rail vehicles and the reinforcement of the world's largest interconnected private HV network In all, the project required a ВЈ2.5 billion investment by the Government and industry. Three suppliers of trains, two government departments, the national railway infrastructure company, four train operators, twenty seven different equipment providers and six installation contractors came together to make this project a success in little less than three and a half years. In that time remarkably little disruption was caused to passenger operations and the success of the project was gauged by the fact that the public didn't realise it was happening. Steve Furber, ICL Professor of Computer Engineering, University of Manchester Steve Furber is ICL Professor of Computer Engineering in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. He received his B.A. degree in Mathematics in 1974 and his Ph.D. in Aerodynamics in 1980 from the University of Cambridge. Working at Acorn Computers Ltd he was a principal designer of the BBC Microcomputer and the ARM 32-bit RISC microprocessor. At the University of Manchester in 1990 he established the Amulet research group which merged with the Parallel Architectures and Languages group in 2000 to form the Advanced Processor Technologies group. Steve is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the BCS, the IET and the IEEE, and a Chartered Engineer. In 2003 he was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Silver Medal. In 2004 he became the holder of a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. Synopsis The real-time modelling of large systems of spiking neurons is computationally very demanding in terms of processing power, synaptic weight memory requirements and communication throughput. We propose to build a high-performance computer for this purpose with a multicast communications infrastructure inspired by neurobiology. The core component will be a chip multiprocessor incorporating some tens of small embedded processors, interconnected by an NoC (Network on Chip) that carries spike events between processors on the same or different chips. The design emphasizes modelling flexibility, power-efficiency, and fault-tolerance, and is intended to yield a general-purpose platform for the real-time simulation of large-scale spiking neural systems. Prof. Paul Shore, Cranfield Institute of Technology Professor Paul Shore is a traditional "time served" engineer from the machine tool sector. He has held the McKeown Chair of Ultra Precision Technoliges at Cranfield since 2002. Prior to moving back to Cranfield he was responsible for precision production engineering at the worlds largest anti friction bearing company, SKF in Sweden. Earlier in his career he was the co-ordinator of the first DTI LINK Nanoetchnology project which developed, at that time, the world's most accurate machine tool, the Cranfield NION machine. Paul is presently the Head of the Cranfield University Precision Engineering Centre which, amongst other things, is responsible for the fabrication of mirrors for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the Hubble replacement. He is also the Director of the UK's Integrated Knowledge Centre for Ultra Precision and Structured Surfaces based in North Wales and managed by Cranfield in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, University College London and the OpTIC Technium. Synopsis Ultra Precision Surfaces are pivotal. They enable many high technology processes that realise numerous consumer products and they add value, function and life time to many advanced products themselves. Fundamental for many astronomy missions, ultra precision surfaces also have the potential to enable clean energy production. Nevermore so are we so reliant on our ability to produce and apply ultra precision surfaces. Paul will review the importance of ultra precision technologies and will describe why they are pivotal to astronomy missions, and how they are key to effective "high end" manufacturing of many consumer products. He will show how the UK has been heavily involved in establishing world beating precision engineering solutions that allow large scale nanometric quality surfaces to be produced. In a wider context he will show how important "surface form and finish" are to products such as displays, integrated circuits, mobile telephones, bearings and artificial prostheses. Pointing to the future, he will indicate how our ability to make ultra precise surfaces for astronomy missions could become an enabling technology in order to realise clean energy production methods. Peter White, YTKO Peter White of YTKO has worked with technologists starting new companies for many years. Synopsis In this entertaining lecture he suggests the best - and worst - ways that engineers and their colleagues can use money, time, ideas and effort to get products and services to market, and to success. John Mordaunt M Istsce, Acoustic Consultant John Mordaunt was educated at Guildford technical college studying electrical & electronic engineering and has spent more than 45 years in the sound business. John spent the early years of his career with Decca record company setting and maintaining standards in the manufacture of record discs. Later he joined Philips sound division in the field of sound system design of products and systems where he was involved with many types of sound system installations. He has designed systems for nuclear power installations, shipping, industrial complexes, commerce, cathedrals, churches, theatres and leisure complexes to name but a few. Synopsis John's presentation is on 'Sound reinforcement systems in hostile environments' where he will discuss factors affecting the production of intelligible speech in hostile environments. John addresses the adverse environmental issues and applies the latest technology to assess and improve speech performance.

He intends to specialise in Aerospace Engineering Synopsis The financial and technical entry barriers to putting small payloads into space are enormous. For all but the best funded projects these are prohibitive, but this need not be the case. Cambridge University Spaceflight is a student run organization committed to developing, constructing and flying low cost sub-orbital spacecraft. By approaching the problem with the classic "how much can I achieve from my shed" (or college room in this case) they hope to show that space need not be unattainable. They will discuss the ups and downs so far and what they are planning for future flights.

Synopsis The topics covered will include "what is IP?", "how do I obtain it and what will it cost?" and "why do I need IP?". Some stories will be included to back up the last question in particular.. Roger ScantleburyВ - Consultant From 1966 to 1977 Roger Scantlebury was in charge of the NPL Data Communication research team, reporting initially to DLA Barber and later directly to D W Davies, Superintendent of Computer Science Division. D W Davies is generally regarded as the father of Packet Switching, and Roger's team built the pioneering network at the NPL. Their ideas were adopted (and expanded upon) by the ARPA network project (Department of Defence, USA). The ARPA network expanded to cover the USA during the 1970s, and ultimately connected to other research networks internationally (including the NPL network). It was during this period that the idea of connecting together computers, attached to different networks, was pioneered, and theterm 'an inter-network' was coined. Paul Shreve - Cisco Having been in the Internet business for 20 years, Paul joined Cisco in 1994 as a consultant to Cisco's European organisation.В  In this role Paul was responsible for designing major European Internets and the supervision of Systems Engineering on a project basis. Currently Paul is on the University of Texas Engineering Advisory Board (EAB).В  The council meets twice a year to review Engineering curriculum and advice the University on technology trends and developments. Prior to joining Cisco Paul spent nine years with Advanced Computer Communications (ACC) whom he joined in 1984.В  Initially holding the role of Principle Systems Engineer working on a number of projects ranging from IP and IBM implementation to IP satellite technology, Paul became Director of Marketing before leaving in 1994. Paul graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara in 1978, becoming the Technical Manager for the University working with the implementation of IP protocols throughout the campus. Synopsis The Internet was born about 40 years ago out of early attempts to switch and route data. The first of two talks will look at those early steps, covering the evolution of the various elements such as packet switching, the ISO 7 layer model, Internet Protocols and the world wide web. The second talk will describe the Internet we know today, and conclude with some ideas on its future direction.
