Successful Endeavours is a multi-award winning Electronics Design and Embedded Software Development consultancy based in Melbourne. This site visit will bring a small group of students to tour the Successful Endeavours office and get an opportunity to learn first hand about the design of a wide range of embedded devices including pipette systems for chemical assays, a microwave based intruder detection system, bluetooth based tracking systems and more. As places are highly limited (10 students maximum), we will be enforcing…

Abstract:Since the discovery of efficient leaky-wave radiation from a slot in a wave guide by Oliner, leakywave antennas have attracted a lot of interest in applications that require beam scanning. Printed planar configurations of LWAs have become very popular, due to low cost. After briefly reviewing crucial historical milestones in LWAs, this presentation will focus on recent developments in LWA antenna research and practical outcomes, including some that have the potential to further extend applications of LWAs from current niche…

Every day an intricate system of actions are co-ordinated throughout our bodies via the transmission of bioelectrical signals. Now, with the introduction of wearable sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT), interest in the continuous monitoring of these bioelectrical signals to assess our mental and physical state is growing rapidly. In this workshop, you will learn about how bioelectrical signals are generated in the human body and how to measure your own electrocardiogram (ECG) using the Arduino platform. In collaboration…
