Résumé: This meeting will have three themes:

• Time and timekeeping;
• Location based services; and
• Timing in science

Résumé: In this lecture, the Royal Observatory’s Curator of Timekeeping will explore the curious history of time distribution from Greenwich.

Résumé: Aimed at those organisations and individuals interested in electromagnetic materials measurements on dielectric and magnetic materials, metamaterials and functional materials, and will provide a useful network and forum for the exchange of information, experience and best practice in these fields.

This meeting has invited speakers to talk on recent work in the UK around electromagnetic materials measurements at frequencies from RF up to THz. The first meeting will focus on high frequency interests, but will include a workshop session to discuss the remit of the group. This may cover broader functionalities, e.g. piezoelectric actuation, magnetic tuning and dielectrophoresis.

Résumé: Non rotationally symmetric (freeform) surfaces are becoming increasingly widely used for both civil and military applications. Advanced manufacturing technologies allow a wide variety of shapes to be created. However, the measurement and characterisation of such surfaces is still very difficult and open to interpretation. This EMAN meeting will present and discuss a range of measurement and characterisation techniques that can be applied to optical and orthopaedic freeform surface.

Résumé: This event will present current developments in the field of measuring moisture content in materials.

The moisture content of materials has wide reaching effects on material properties, ranging from dimensional, thermal, mechanical, electrical, to chemical and biological performance. Moisture content impacts on many areas of manufacturing, product drying, conservation, construction, power generation and others.

But if we cannot measure, we cannot control. What moisture measurements do we need and make? What advances are in progress?

This event is open to anyone making measurements of moisture content in materials, or using humidity measurements to control or assess material moisture content.

Résumé: By keeping up the tradition of this biennial meeting, this event will proffer an opportunity for physicists, sonographers, engineers, researchers and practitioners from a clinical background to exchange ideas and present new results. The aim is to encourage dialogue between professionals from the different backgrounds in this multidisciplinary area of research and practice. There will be four invited speakers over the two days who will talk about specific areas of interest within the field.Abstract submissions are invited from interested professionals in healthcare, industry and academia. Presentations in all relevant areas and disciplines are welcome including both diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound, novel imaging techniques, quality assurance, contrast agents, non-linear ultrasound, harmonic imaging and ultrasound safety.

Résumé: MTEC is the UK’s only event dedicated to instruments and techniques for practical measurement as required in engineering, processing, physics, chemistry, utility and the life sciences sector.

Résumé: EUSIPCO-2009 will focus on key aspects of signal processing theory, architectures, and applications. Acceptance of submissions will be based on quality, relevance, and originality, with awards for the best student submissions. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of EUSIPCO 2009 and presented during the conference.
