The IET SA&NT

Mechanical & Manufacturing Joint Technical Programme Event. Note that this event supersedes the previously programmed event of a visit to the DSTO.

Where:
Engineers House, Chapman Hall, 11 Bagot Street, North Adelaide
When:
6.15pm Tuesday 13th May 2008
Refreshments from 5:30pm
Who:
All visitors with an interest in Mechanical Engineering are welcome to attend (please RSVP).

Traditional, on-board Navy and commercial vessels waste systems are seen as separate, unrelated
entities, each having its own supplier and interface challenges. The various liquid and solid waste
streams have no commonality and are discharged/stored without thought for cross-connection to
other systems. This is manpower-intensive, has health and safety implications, is a poor use of
space, and generates increasing port reception costs.
Unification of the individual treatment technologies through an Integrated Waste Management allows:

• Optimisation of the operation of each piece of equipment
• Flexibility under varying demands;
• A largely autonomous processing capability; and
• Production of less waste to discharge or store.

With an Integrated Waste Management System (IWMS) the operation and maintenance activities are
simplified and onboard storage of waste is minimized. Crucially, the IWMS facilitates the world-wide
operation of the vessel through compliance to environmental legislation with the potential to meet
future more stringent legislation.

Campanology

by Dr Matthew Sorell

Abstract:

If you look out across the Adelaide Oval, you will see the spires of St Peter’s Cathedral, home to the heaviest octave of change-ringing bells outside of the British Isles. The music is unique to England and its colonies, based on continuous cycling of permutations following similar rules to the Rubik’s Cube, alphabetical sorting and cryptography. Change-ringing, or Anglo-Campanology, has its roots in the 11th Century and its mathematical formulation was documented centuries before pure mathematicians came up with their own version, known as Combinatorial Group Theory.
This talk will introduce you to the change-ringing bells of Adelaide, and provide you with an insight into the sport, music, mathematics and engineering of this obsessive hobby.

Hosted by IEEE on behalf of the Electrical & Electronic Joint Technical Program.

Wireless communication is becoming a ubiquitous part of our everyday lives. Broadcast television, mobile telephony, wireless local area networks, and bluetooth are just a few examples. In this talk, we will take a look at the far-reaching research and emerging technologies that promise to make an impact on wireless communications over the next decade.
