A commemorative pin presented to me upon my graduation from the University of Melbourne.
The pin is a replica of the University of Melbourne coat-of-arms, which was granted in 1863. The Latin motto reads Postera Crescam Laude which means "to grow in the esteem of future generations".
I thought this pin would be a good exercise in macro photography.

Image of the bottom of the HS02 headset showing a High-Q Tx Coil interface. Three (3) coil drivers were removed from HS01 requirements and subsequently replaced with a (fallback) single Tx transmit coil driver on HS02 to make room for a galvanically isolated percutaneous plug interface. The loan planar Tx coil is driven via a 50MHz DDS that includes programmable quadrature phase and dual frequency high-speed modulation control lines via feed directly from the Virtex6 FPGA. Also included in this power transfer block are voltage and current monitoring circuits including logarithmic impedance and phase converter IC providing precision monitoring of transformer load characteristics
