Philips Lecture
The Philips Lecture was a lecture organised by the Royal Society of London with support from Philips Industries Limited in 1980, the object being to strengthen contacts between the Society and industry and more generally between universities and industry. The general theme of the series was science in industry. The lecture was annual and was given for the last time in 1992.

gollark: I'm sure I could upload random snippets of rust code if necessary.
gollark: You should obviously join my IRC network, which has ~no drama and about 4 users.
gollark: Broadly speaking, to the best of my knowledge: TVs accept commands from remotes as modulated infrared somehow. The basic modulation stuff is fairly consistent, but not all TVs support the same set of commands. So universal remote things can work by recording the data another remote sends when you press a particular button, saving it, and replaying it when you press a button on it.
gollark: I see. Anyway, I'm personally busy for the next few days, but I can give pointers or something if you are to do it yourself.
gollark: Also, if you want to have it import text files you will probably either want serverside code or some sort of compilation step.
