Faraday Medal

Dr Leonardo Chiariglione

Dr Chiariglione has been awarded the Faraday Medal in recognition of his pioneering contribution to the standardisation of the digital compression and encoding technique known as MPEG (Movie Picture Expert Group). This is extensively employed for digital video and media compression and has enabled the modern digital media revolution. From digital video broadcast, to web content downloads to social networking, MPEG technology is now part of the everyday life of billions of people around the world.

Leonardo Chiariglione graduated from the Polytechnic of Turin in Electronic Engineering and obtained his PhD degree in Electrical Communication from the University of Tokyo.

He has been at the forefront of a number of initiatives that have helped shape media technology and business as we know them today. Among these is the International Workshop on HDTV established in 1986 and the Moving Pictures Experts Group standards committee in 1988, which he currently chairs. MPEG has developed an impressive portfolio of standard technologies that have created an industry worth several hundred billion US dollars and has been recognised by 3 Emmy Awards.

Dr. Chiariglione is the recipient of several awards: among these the IBC John Tucker award, the Eduard-Rhein Foundation award, the IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics award and the Kilby Foundation award.

He became the CEO of CEDEO.net in January 2004.

The Faraday Medal is the IET’s most prestigious award. It commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the first Ordinary Meeting of the Society of Telegraph Engineers. It is awarded for notable scientific or industrial achievement in engineering or for conspicuous service rendered to the advancement of science, engineering and technology.

Honorary Fellowships

The IET awards a small number of Honorary Fellowships each year and is one of the highest honours bestowed by the Institution. Honorary Fellows are persons distinguished by their work in any engineering discipline falling within the objects and purposes of the IET, or distinguished persons whom the IET desires to honour for services rendered to the IET, or whose association is of benefit to the IET. Honorary Fellows are entitled to use the designatory letters HonFIET (Honorary Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology).

The IET has awarded Honorary Fellowships since 1873.

Professor Alf Adams FRS

We are delighted to welcome Professor Adams as an Honorary Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology in recognition of his work on strained quantum well lasers.

Alf Adams read physics at the University of Leicester and was awarded a BSc in 1961 and a PhD in 1964. After completing his PhD research into the electrical and optical properties of orthorhombic sulphur, he spent two years at the University of Karlsruhe studying the thermal and thermoelectric properties of selenium and tellurium. In 1967 he joined the University of Surrey, where he is now Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Physics.

Semiconductor lasers have been one of his major interests since 1980 when he spent sabbatical leave at Tokyo Institute of Technology. In Surrey he founded the Optoelectronics group and helped establish the Advanced Technology Institute where he has developed unique techniques to study semiconductor optoelectronic devices using hydrostatic pressure. In 1986 he proposed that the electronic band structure of quantum well lasers could be significantly improved by deliberately growing the active layer in a state of strain. It was found that this greatly improved almost all the lasers properties and presently strained quantum-well devices dominate the semiconductor laser market.

They are used for the internet both to generate the initial signals and to supply power to the fibre amplifiers that help the data on its way. Shorter wavelength devices are used in DVDs, computer memories and mice, for printing and for bar-code readers, and even to provide the power for metal cutting and welding. At longer wavelengths they are used for chemical sensing, for pollution monitoring and in medicine. Because of their high wall-plug efficiency and high output power, strained quantum-well lasers are likely to play a key role in the future for displays and solid-state lighting.

Mr Mike DuVallPresentation: The Titin Story

The classic theories governing how muscles contract were developed at a time when all the pieces of the muscle puzzle were not yet known. Subsequent addendums to the theories bridged some of this knowledge gap, but failed in other respects. This ultimately translated into several experimental departures from classical thinking, in terms of how we understand muscle contraction. One of the best examples to illustrate this is the molecular “spring” within muscle called titin. This titin protein is the largest currently discovered and has several essential roles in how muscles function. Titin permits muscles to stretch reversibly without sustaining damage, but also has the capacity to change its stiffness under different contractile conditions making it a very fascinating part of the muscle puzzle. Titin was discovered about 25 years after the classic muscle theories that we still use today, but the inherent complexity of this protein is just becoming realized. Ongoing work is directed at revisiting these classic theories with new mechanistic insights, in an effort to create a paradigm shift that incorporates this key titin piece into our understanding of muscle contraction.

Ms Abigail RajendranPresentation: Magneto-rheological compliant actuator for stroke rehabilitation

The work presented is based on a 4th year undergraduate project. The project investigated the use of magneto-rheological fluid in an active compliant actuator. The intended use of the actuator was in a stroke hand rehabilitation system. The rehabilitation system was designed to actively exercise and strengthen the weakened hand of a person affected by a stroke. As magneto-rheological fluid is an emerging technology, experiments were performed to test the suitability of its use in the system. It was found that in the current design, magneto-rheological fluid was a feasible solution. The viscosity of the fluid was able to be dynamically controlled and the fluid was capable of providing the damping required. However further work needs to be conducted to address identified issues, such as settling, heating and leakage of the fluid.

Mr Amr SalehPresentation: Smart breadboard

Engineering students use breadboards to practically learn electronics, which is a plastic platform where you put the components on it and then use wires to connect between them. This can be a very complex, tiring, and time consuming process. We have invented a new device that makes this process much easier and faster, by automating the connections through designated software. The software simulation has the same reliability of hardware prototyping. The idea is now being registered as a US patent.

Mr Damith AbeywardanaPresentation: World Where You Can See Through Without Radiation

Tomography is a technology used to generate a cross sectional image of an object. In order to generate a cross section, we have to identify any measurable quality which will change with the cross sectional properties of the object. By generating a cross sectional image, we can see inside properties of the object. In most situations, this technology is known as "scanning". CT scanners and ultra sound scanners are examples of the most popular topographic scanners. In general, with topographic technologies such as those in a CT scanner, X ray waves are transmitted through the scanning object. Various materials absorb the X ray waves in different proportions. In the receiving end, energy of the received X ray waves are measured and absorbed energy is calculated. Because of different absorption levels of X ray waves, material properties of the object can be identified and the cross section can be generated.

Ms Lili TaoPresentation: Shape from Motion

Shape and motion recovery from image sequences is one of the fundamental problems in computer vision – known as Shape from Motion (SfM). Since the most influential work for reconstruction of rigid objects was proposed, SfM has been acting as the most significant research. The reconstruction of rigid objects has been well-established and consolidated into commercial applications for some time now. However, as in the real environments, most objects deform with time, including people, animals and other elastic objects, so the research has expanded into non-rigid SfM. This presentation begins by introducing the general idea of computer vision, followed by SfM problems for both rigid and deformable objects. I will also show the latest techniques and the state of art approaches to solve the problem and some practical examples in this field.
