Cambridge Wireless Healthcare SIG - In Joint Sponsorship with Cambridge Biomedical Campus and Cambridge University Health Partners. 'Hospitals of the Future - e-Hospital – Open Platforms, Secure Innovative Applications?' The need for mobile clinical application innovation is clear, but the need for patient security is paramount. This half-day event will provide a clear discussion on the challenging associated issues. For example, could a mobile application store form the deployment platform for distributing innovative solutions over which all care organisations (GPs, hospitals, social care, etc) provide integrated secure services? This series takes an innovative approach to design the possible e-hospital of the future. By Teresa Fagg (24/05/12) ... more

Understanding Power Quality - Poor power quality is any variation in an electrical power supply which results in mal-operation or premature failure of equipment. The variations can be caused, for example, by voltage disturbances such as voltage dips, over voltages and their effects can range from the annoying, such as PC shutting down or lights flickering, to serious equipment damage and industrial production being halted, which can be extremely costly.

Cambridge Wireless International SIG ‘Going Green in the East' - This SIG spotlights three major global markets; Japan, China and India all of which are focusing on energy conservation, development of energy efficiency and expansion of urban infrastructure. Following on from last year’s earthquake and tsunami Japan’s focus has undergone a huge shift where possibilities now exist for organisations ranging from smart grid communities to alternative power. China’s demand, increased by economic growth, has motivated the Chinese government to prioritise areas such as carbon finance and energy diversification. India also has plans to inject over $1 trillion US dollars into urban infrastructure and advanced green energy technology. This half-day SIG looks at the very real opportunities for overseas organisations to seize and fulfil these demands. By Teresa Fagg (14/06/12) ... more

Cambridge Wireless Joint Academic, Industry and Business SIG and ICT KTN Event - ‘Absolutely Lab to Absolutely Fab – Getting your Research Project off the Bench and into Business’ This joint FREE event provides the essential mix of inspirational examples combined with first-hand experiences surrounding the challenges of bringing research to market. The sessions will provide a basis for informal and formal discussions with a specially selected group of speakers representing small, medium and large organisations. This event is designed for academic and industrial researchers and entrepreneurs; topics in focus include how to take the initial first steps through to what is required when working with larger companies in order to build a business.

Rapid Prototyping with 32-bit Microcontrollers (Portsmouth)

by Daniel Dearing

This is the second of a serious of regional workshops aimed at demonstrating how easy it can be for a non-electronics engineer to set up and start prototyping product ideas and concepts using an ARM/NXP mbed board that is based on a sophisticated and powerful 32-bit microcontroller

Event Start: 14/09/2010, 09:30; Event Finish: 14/09/2010, 17:00

Event Description:

Mbed Workshop - Rapid prototyping with 32 bit microcontrollers

Date : September 14^th

Venue : University of Portsmouth

Purpose: To introduce 8/16 bit users (and non-electronics users) to mbed

Time : 10am to 4pm

Cost: £109 +VAT for ETN Members, £159 for non ETN members

PLACES ARE LIMITED SO BOOK NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!

Introduction

Are you an innovator or an inventor? Or maybe a designer? Or a product developer?

Have you ever considered prototyping a new electronic product, but had been put off by the daunting prospect of learning how to use microcontrollers and how to develop the electronics associated with them?

This workshop, brought to you by the ESP Electronics Knowledge Centre in partnership with the University of Portsmouth and ARM/NXP, is aimed at demonstrating how easy it can be to rapidly prototype a new idea for an electronic product using sophisticated and powerful 32-bit microcontrollers with rich functionality, complex I/O capabilities and great performance.

Participants in this workshop will learn about the capabilities of the mbed microcontroller board, and how to quickly set up and start developing functionality using the free, lightweight, online compiler and libraries of code. The afternoon session will also include a “Freeform Lab”, which will give all delegates a hands-on opportunity to play with the mbed board and a selection of peripheral components including sensors, actuators, displays and interfaces.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the interactive nature of this workshop, all delegates will need to bring their own laptop/mac running windows/MacOS/Linux and have full administration rights. If you do not have a laptop to bring with you, please contact daniel.dearing@espktn.org ASAP.

At the end of the day all participants will get to take home a free* kit of components allowing them to continue experimenting and prototyping and exploring the possibilities of the platform
