http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/books/ra/pbra022e
<p xmlns="http://pub2web.metastore.ingenta.com/ns/">The phrase 'waveform design and diversity' refers to an area of radar research that focuses on novel transmission strategies as a way to improve performance in a variety of civil, defense and homeland security applications. Three basic principles are at the core of waveform diversity. First is the principle that any and all knowledge of the operational environment should be exploited in system design and operation. Second is the principle of the fully adaptive system, that is, that the system should respond to dynamic environmental conditions. Third is the principle of measurement diversity as a way to increase system robustness and expand the design trade space. Waveform design and diversity concepts can be found dating back to the mid-twentieth century. However, it has only been in the past decade or so, as academics and practitioners have rushed to exploit recent advances in radar hardware component technology, such as arbitrary waveform generation and linear power amplification, that waveform diversity has become a distinct area of research. The purpose of this book is to survey this burgeoning field in a way that brings together the diverse yet complementary topics that comprise it. The topics covered range from the purely theoretical to the applied, and the treatment of these topics ranges from tutorial explanation to forward-looking research discussions. The topics treated in this book include: classical waveform design and its extensions through information theory, multiple-input multiple-output systems, and the bio-inspired sensing perspective; the exploration of measurement diversity through distributed radar systems, in both cooperative and non-cooperative configurations; the optimal adaptation of the transmit waveform for target detection, tracking, and identification; and more. This representative cross-section of topics provides the reader with a chance to see the three principles of waveform diversity at work, and will hopefully point the way to further advances in this exciting area of research.</p>The Correspondence of Michael Faraday, Volume 6: 1860-1867
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/books/ht/pbsp045e
<p xmlns="http://pub2web.metastore.ingenta.com/ns/">The Correspondence of Michael Faraday Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was one of the most important men of science in nineteenth century Britain. His discoveries of electro-magnetic rotations (1821) and electro-magnetic induction (1831) laid the foundations of the modern electrical industry. His discovery of the magneto-optical effect and diamagnetism (1845) led him to formulate the field theory of electro-magnetism, which forms one of the cornerstones of modern physics. These and a whole host of other fundamental discoveries in physics and chemistry, together with his lecturing at the Royal Institution, his work for the state (including Trinity House), his religious beliefs and his lack of mathematical ability, make Faraday one of the most fascinating scientific figures ever. All these aspects of his life and work and others, such as his health, are reflected in his letters which, in this final volume, cover Faraday's life to his death in August 1867. Also published here are letters that could not be dated and letters that should have been included in volumes one to five but which had not been located when those volumes were published. In total just over 80% of the letters in this volume are previously unpublished. The dominant topic of the 1860s (covered in nearly 40% of the letters) is Faraday's involvement with the lighthouse service relating in particular to his advice to Trinity House and the Board of Trade on matters such as electric light and the controversial issue of fog signals. Also detailed is the complex process by which his various posts were transferred to John Tyndall. Similar issues existed with Faraday's gradual withdrawal from his duties at the Royal Institution, including the misguided attempt to make him President. And, of course, running through many of the letters are comments on his declining health and impending death. Major correspondents include the Astronomer Royal G.B. Airy, the Secretary of Trinity House P.H. Berthon, the Birmingham glassmaker J.T. Chance, the Assistant Secretary of the Board of Trade T.H. Farrer, the German mathematician Julius Plücker, the Cambridge trained mathematical natural philosophers James Clerk Maxwell and William Thomson, Faraday's colleagues at the Royal Institution Henry Bence Jones, John Tyndall and Benjamin Vincent, the Swiss chemist Christian Schoenbein and the astronomer James South.</p>Coaxial Electrical Circuits for Interference-Free Measurements
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/books/el/pbel013e
<p xmlns="http://pub2web.metastore.ingenta.com/ns/">The authors have between them more than 60 years of experience in making electrical measurements in National Measurement Laboratories. These laboratories are the source of measurement standards and techniques for science and engineering and are dedicated to maintaining the international system of units (SI) by establishing and disseminating the values of measurement standards with the lowest possible uncertainty. Careful attention to detail is required in designing measurement systems that eliminate electrical interference and are as simple and as close to first principles as possible. This book draws on their experience by offering guidance and best practice for designing sensitive electrical measurement circuits. In particular the book describes examples that demonstrate the elegance, flexibility and utility of balanced-current coaxial networks in obtaining the ultimate in noise-matching and interference elimination for precise and accurate voltage, current and power measurements. It also updates an earlier book on coaxial AC bridges by including recent AC measurements of quantum Hall resistance to establish a primary quantum standard of impedance and by extending impedance measurements in general to higher frequencies.</p>The ENSG Route Map and how smart grids fit into the future energy context

http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/books/ht/pbht033e
<p xmlns="http://pub2web.metastore.ingenta.com/ns/">This book covers the development of space technology in the late 1950s and 1960s from the launch of Sputnik 1 in October 1957 to the landing of men on the moon in 1969. The text begins by looking at the challenge of getting into space and the development of the launch of the space launch vehicle, and moves on to discussion of unmanned satellites and spaceprobes, and the first capsules deployed in Earth orbit and the Apollo missions to the moon.</p>IEC 60601-1 third edition - philosophy and changes
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic.2005.0777
IEC 60601-1 has a long history. We are now approaching the end of the project to develop the third edition, with the Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) due for circulation in May. The National Electrotechnical Committees around the world have submitted several thousand comments on successive drafts, which have resulted in a lot of changes to the details, but the major differences from the second edition that we introduced in the first Committee Draft in 1999 have survived. I am basing this presentation on the draft that was circulated this time last year, which was the second Committee Draft with Vote (2CDV), but to the best of my belief everything that I am saying will remain true of the FDIS. (4 pages)Effective technology transfer intervention methods
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_20020110
It is increasingly recognised that industry must continually innovate products and processes, and constantly develop their knowledge base, in response to contemporary technological and social change. What is not always recognised is that for such development to be successful it is necessary for high-level company dedication, coupled with wide-ranging vision matched against workforce skills. This paper focuses on the Teaching Company Directorate (TCD) method of technology transfer as a vehicle for injecting new knowledge into companies. The effectiveness of the method is dependent on the existence of fundamental organisational conditions, which are explored. Case studies of collaboration between Kingston University and a range of industrial partners, both through Teaching Company Scheme (TCS) and other mechanisms, in particular the MSc by Learning Contract, will show that timely, in-company strategies to customise higher degree learning to enthusiastic practitioners can provide considerable impetus to sustain work based learning, enhancing performance that leads to step-changes of sizeable significance. (8 pages)Radio Man: the Remarkable Rise and Fall of C.O. Stanley
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/books/ht/pbht030e
<p xmlns="http://pub2web.metastore.ingenta.com/ns/">Radio Man tells the story of C.O. Stanley, the unconventional Irishman who acquired Pye Radio at the beginning of the broadcasting age. Though he started with little experience and even less money, he was to make Pye a major player in the British electronics industry - only to crash it spectacularly forty years later. This revealing and meticulously researched text is written within the broad context of the political, technological and business changes of the time, and shows how a very ambitious businessman was brought down by the qualities that made him so successful.</p>Development of the Elliott company 1804 - 1950 [electrical engineering history]
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_20010165
The name of Elliott is probably best known through Elliott Automation, the large group taken over by English Electric in 1965 and in turn by GEC in 1966. Earlier, Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd. were well known as electrical engineers and makers of precision electrical instruments. The Company's origins are however in the much older profession of mathematical instrument-making, whilst its later activities included telegraphy, marine instruments, gunnery controls, aviation instruments and industrial controls. Originally a family concern, the Company was later led and influenced by some outstanding personalities. (9 pages)Sir Charles Wheatstone
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/books/ht/pbht029e
<p xmlns="http://pub2web.metastore.ingenta.com/ns/">Charles Wheatstone was one of the leading electrical engineers of the mid-nineteenth century. This fascinating biography celebrates the bicentenary of his birth, and draws on information about the family business as well as letters, including correspondence with Cooke and Faraday.</p>The Life and Times of A.D. Blumlein
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/books/ht/pbht024e
<p xmlns="http://pub2web.metastore.ingenta.com/ns/">Despite his accidental death in June 1942 at the age of 38, Alan Dower Blumlein was unquestionably one of the century s most creative engineers and filed some 140 patents. He was the driving force and inspiration behind a vast number of fundamental innovations in the fields of radar, electronics and sound recording, amongst which he held perhaps the landmark patent enabling stereo sound. Surprisingly, until 1999 there had been no biographies of this remarkable man. The IEE is proud to rectify this by publication of this scholarly treatment of Blumlein's life, which includes a foreword by his eldest son.</p>The Correspondence of Michael Faraday, Volume 4: 1849-1855

Correspondence with such figures as Thomson, Babbage, Brunel, Schoenbein and Whewell.</p>Standards bodies - processes and access
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_19981060
There are three sorts of people in the technological world, those who swear by standards, those who swear at standards, and those who are indifferent. The latter have traditionally been in the great majority, but this is rapidly changing. It is a forced change, brought about by a number of virtually irresistible developments which began about nine years ago (1989), and the number and influence of these developments continues to increase. The result is that many people who previously did not have to know about standards, now do need to. Furthermore, the new developments mean that much that was dogma in the past is now heresy, and this implies that some, already standards-conscious, people need a modicum of re-enlightenment. (5 pages)The changing position of women in engineering worldwide
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/cp_19980295
The preliminary results from a research project on the changing position of women engineers and technicians worldwide are presented and discussed. These results include data on women engineers (and technicians) in a number of different countries for the period 1960-1997. As an introduction to the presentation of these results some of the problems facing women engineers in industry and education are considered.How to make the best use of translators and interpreters
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_19970326
In order to know how to make the best use of translators and interpreters it is first necessary to know something about the business in which they work, and how they themselves work. The translation industry is a hidden one, indeed many people seem to be unaware that the industry exists at all, or that people can make their living by this means. This is hardly surprising, as even those who are in the industry have very little idea about how much activity it represents. Demand is for the most part sporadic, arises in unpredictable ways and is very difficult to measure. Here, therefore, the author presents an overview of translation and interpretation in an international business context. (5 pages)Fibre Bragg gratings and their applications
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/cp_19971587
Summary form only given. Optical fibre Bragg gratings are the most significant new fibre device since the EDFA and will have a major impact on the design and implementation of future optical networks. Applications include single and multichannel add/drop filters, EDFA gain stabilising and spectrum flattening filters, dispersion compensation, as well as wavelength stable sources for WDM networks. This tutorial will cover the key aspects of fibre gratings relevant to telecommunications applications. These include fabrication and processing, the pros and cons of the different host fibres as well as hydrogenation and their effect on stability. The design and performance of apodised, chirped and multistage gratings will be covered. Finally, significant emphasis will be given to the key applications of fibre gratings.Aircraft and the EU. New Approach Directives
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_19961297
When the EU new approach directives and their requirement to CE mark product began to come into force, their impact on many sectors of UK industry was not clearly understood, both in terms of commercial and military products. In the years that followed, many problems arose as the implications sank in, and this paper is aimed at presenting some aspects of the current situation for aerospace products. (7 pages)In the beginning (of the British Calibration Service)
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_19960627
This is a personal recollection of why and how the British Calibration Service (BCS) came into being. Historians remind us that by looking backwards we should see more clearly the way ahead. As a founder-member of BCS, the authors aims this article to serve as a pointer for future endeavours. (4 pages)Standards - a user's perspective
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/cp_19960757
There are currently major changes underway within the process industries on how standards are viewed. There is a trend away from in-house company standards towards industry-wide standards. At the same time the standards themselves are taking a “prescriptive” rather than “descriptive” approach. Within Europe standards are being used to enforce legislation aimed at opening the market. This paper looks at a number of issues that surround the current standards environment and what it means to the end user.The Correspondence of Michael Faraday, Volume 3: 1841-1848
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/books/ht/pbsp035e
<p xmlns="http://pub2web.metastore.ingenta.com/ns/">Michael Faraday was without doubt one of the most important scientists of the nineteenth century; His discoveries of electromagnetic rotation and electromagnetic induction laid the foundations of the modern electricity industry. Almost 75% of the letters in Volume 3 were previously unpublished. During this period he discovered the magneto-optical effect and diamagnetism, allowing him to argue for his views on the nature of matter.</p>The development of Salford University Business Services Ltd.
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_19950401
The University of Salford has established a reputation for working closely with industry nationally and prides itself on its close links with small firms in the region. Its commercial interface with industry is Salford University Business Services Ltd. (SUBS), a consultancy design and development company initiated in 1969 with the help of a government grant. The company has grown progressively to become one of the largest and most successful university consultancy businesses in the UK. Salford University Business Services Ltd (SUBS) grew out of a need to do more than provide education, training, and research for industry; there was also a need to transfer technology and manage consultancy in a way which gave value for money and delivery on time with clear and regular communication. For many years, industry had looked to universities as sources of technology transfer in its desire to innovate and maintain competitiveness. SUBS has provided the mechanism which had hitherto been missing; a customer orientated commercial service. (3 pages)European standards, the expectations of the industry and the users
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/cp_19950463
The paper gives an overview of the situation in Europe concerning security standardization, testing and certification and the expectations of the industry and the users. The main problem which is identified is to match the production time of the standards with the innovation speed. Today technology changes so fast that the danger exists that product standards become obsolete when they come out, even though they are excellent. Then modern technologies may be blocked and this would destroy the hope and the expectations of everybody. Speaking of the expectations of the industry and the users, a difference should be made between standards and standardization. Standards are technical specifications on which certain parties have agreed. Standardization is the totality of all activities, procedures and structures needed to produce standards.“Getting underway” - the Liverpool John Moores experience
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_19950402
JMU Services Limited, (formerly Liverpool Polytechnic Services Limited) is a wholly-owned subsidiary company of the University, set up in March 1990 to ensure that the University's commercial activities do not endanger Liverpool John Moores University's charitable status or incur a tax liability. The Company administers all commercial contracts carried out by the University and its staff. 5% of the total income is retained by the Company to cover administrative expenses and insurance. The Company is fully self-financing and receives no allocation from the University's core funds. Profits on contracts, after direct costs have been paid, are returned to the Schools and the University. The main business activities of JMU Services Ltd are outlined including technology transfer and joint ventures. (10 pages)Consultancy as a means of income generation for universities
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_19950399
In terms of a University's total annual turnover the income from nonmainstream activities rarely accounts for more than 5% of that revenue stream of which consultancy is unlikely to be the major contributor. Whilst it is clear that many staff indulge in consultancy, whether this activity is reported and recorded is an entirely different matter depending on among others the contractural requirements and the established custom and practice. From the University's perspective consultancy work although a very small part of the total business is important and if handled professionally can create new commercial opportunities. It also helps update academic staff, brings them into contact with the real world thereby contributing to their teaching and research output. With the gradual 14% reduction in funding council grant over the next 4 years which may turn out to be between 25 and 35% in real terms depending on inflation there is an incentive for Universities to bring consultancy work within a more formalised system so that the University as well as its staff are the beneficiaries. (3 pages)Continuing professional development
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/ic_19950149
The author defines Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as the planned acquisition of knowledge, experience and skills, and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties throughout an engineer's working life. It encompasses both technical and non-technical matters. The author discusses the benefits of CPD to the individual including job performance, job protection, and career enhancement. The need to take responsibility for one's own career is pointed out. Benefits to employers are discussed. The IEE's own CPD scheme is described. (9 pages)The Heinrich Hertz wireless experiments at Karlsruhe in the view of modern communication
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/conferences/10.1049/cp_19950782
Highlights the contributions of Heinrich Hertz by his experiments, carried out in Karlsruhe, Germany, in the years 1885 to 1889, to the first radio communication experiments. Heinrich Hertz developed for the first time a complete pulsed radar, an indoor communication link and a material test set, all in one. The basic system components had been the spark gap oscillator, the dipole antennas for transmit and receive, a nearly parabolic reflector, a polarisation grid, a field strength indicator and several propagation obstacles like wax prism. In the years of 1887-88 his experiments verified the predicted propagation of electromagnetic waves and in addition wave polarisation, reflection, diffraction and refraction. A look at Heinrich Hertz's experiments, his equipment and his results is given. The influence on Marconi's research is discussed. A numerical simulation of the indoor wave propagation, in the original Heinrich Hertz experiments environment, which survived the wars, is intended to demonstrate the problems, but also the real situation this scientist was confronted with.The Correspondence of Michael Faraday, Volume 2: 1832-1840

Low-power nanophotonic devices based on photonic crystals towards dense photonic network on chip
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/journals/10.1049/iet-cds.2010.0159
The authors review their recent studies on various nanophotonic devices including all-optical switches, optical memories, electro-optic modulators, photo-detectors and lasers, all of which are based on photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavities. The strong light confinement achieved in PhC nanocavities has enabled these devices with ultrasmall footprint and ultralow power/energy consumption. These characteristics are ideally suited for constructing dense photonic network on chip, which will overcome the limitation of future CMOS chips in terms of high-speed operation with less energy consumption and heat generation.Editorial: Noise in devices and circuits

Nanoparticles with logic and numeracy: towards ‘computer-on-a-particle’ optoelectronic devices
http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/journals/10.1049/iet-cds.2010.0068
The review focuses on semiconductor nanoparticles and hybrid materials obtained by immobilisation of various molecular species on nanoparticulate semiconductors. These materials constitute unique systems combining collective properties of solids with structural diversity of molecules which show distinctive photoelectrochemical properties. Theoretical models of electronic interactions between molecules and semiconductor surfaces have been presented. Additionally, the review summarises the idea of small particles that can work as electronic devices. These devices are able to sense the environment and communicate with other devices and with the user. The devices are based on surface modified wide-band gap semiconductors and the photoelectrochemical photocurrent switching effect. This effect has created a new platform for novel chemical switches, logic gates and other information processing devices. The mechanism of photocurrent switching is discussed with respect to the type of surface complex-support interaction. Photoelectrochemical properties of multicomponent photoelectrodes based on wide band gap nanocrystaline semiconductors modified with various molecules were investigated. The review presents some examples of hybrid materials working as logic devices, including reconfigurable ones and simple arithmetic systems together with mechanistic problems related to nanoscale information processing.Editorial

http://dl-live.theiet.org/content/journals/10.1049/iipi.1970.0002
Just under 25 years ago the electronics industry in India merely consisted of a stock of a quarter of million domestic radio receivers, an annual output of 4000 such receivers, half a dozen low- and medium-power transmitting stations, and a telecommunication system catering almost exclusively 83000 telephones. From this rather unhappy state, the country has made enormous progress in the manufacture of communication equipment, test instruments, radio receivers and other consumer products, transmitters, industrial process control, railway signalling and computer and data processing equipment, nuclear and medical instruments. This paper describes the historical development of the electronics industry in India to its present state and outlines the trends for its future growth.Status of the indian electronic component industry
