Boise IEEE Opcomm Meeting (Evening)

Title:
Inertial+, the Once and Future Navigation System
Date:
August 18th
6:30 PM (2 hours)
Location:
Cal Lutheran Center for Entrepreneurship (Hub101)
Westlake Village, CA
Abstract:

Since their invention shortly after World War II, inertial navigation systems have proven to be indispensable in the aerospace industry.  They are immune to jamming and provide position, velocity and attitude with low noise, high data rates and low data latencies.  Since the 1960s, the long-term drift inherent in any inertial system has typically been corrected through the integration of an external aiding source via an extended Kalman filter.  Aiding sources have varied over the decades and, although GNSS is currently the most popular choice, the future of navigation can be characterized simply as “inertial-plus.”  Plus what?  Whatever the best aiding source happens to be.  Vision? Electro-optics?  LADAR?  Signals-of-opportunity?  Maybe all of the above.  In this lecture we will review the key operating principles of inertial navigation and will highlight the major error characteristics.  The primary inertial-aiding design architectures will then be discussed along with performance considerations.

Presentation Description:

People often ask "how can I position myself to be selected for different career opportunities?" Typically we think about expanding our education, experience, or skill set, but we overlook one important factor: our presence.
Presence is a quality that makes people notice or admire you, even when you are not speaking. You might think "presence" is something people are born with, but in reality, it is something we can all work to build.
In this webinar, I will discuss why having a strong presence matters, tangible actions to help you create a stronger presence, and ways to see if your efforts are working!

Title:
SMART Power Flow Controllers – A Necessity for Future Power Grid - IEEE DISTINGUISHED LECTURER
Date:
August 29th
10:55 AM (1.2 hours)
Location:
Idaho Power CHQ
Boise, ID
Abstract:

Abstract: Power flow control techniques have been practiced, from using inductors, capacitors, transformers and load tap changers in the earlier days of electrical engineering to power electronics-based solutions in recent years. Even though the costs and complexities of the available solutions vary widely, the basic underlying theory of power flow control is still the same as it always has been. The question is which solution one should employ. The answer depends on knowing what the true need is. The power industry’s pressing need for the most economical ways to transfer bulk power along a desired path may be met by building new transmission lines, which is a long and costly process. Alternately, it may be quicker and cheaper to utilize the existing transmission lines more efficiently. The key is to identify the underutilized transmission lines and harness their dormant capacity to increase the power flows to the lines’ thermal limits.

 

The presentation is designed to provide the basic principles of power flow control theory, an overview of the most commonly used power flow controllers, and future trends. The audience will hear from an expert who actually designed and commissioned a number of power electronics-based FACTS controllers since their inception in the 1990s.

Title:
Polymer Implantable Electrode (PIE) Interfaces to the Nervous System
Date:
August 31st
6:30 PM (1.5 hours)
Abstract:

Abstract:

Microelectrode array technologies can be adapted to interface with different parts of the nervous system, whether lying on the surface or placed into tissues. While traditionally constructed from rigid materials, emerging polymer technologies compatible with microfabrication offer interfaces possessing greater mechanical flexibility and material transparency which may alleviate chronic tissue damage, prolong function, and providing compatibility with optical and magnetic imaging. In addition, the design space enables a variety of form-factors and anatomical targets, including surface, shallow and deep-brain structures, retina, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. However, access to this technology is limited as is the infrastructure to scale the manufacture and dissemination of polymer interfaces. The Polymer Implantable Electrode (PIE) Foundry is a new resource concept that provides rapid access to custom or generic microelectrode arrays to the research community and borrows from pathways for project space sharing from the integrated circuit manufacturing industry. Progress in polymer microelectrode arrays as neural interfaces and on the PIE Foundry research resource will be shared.

The IEEE P2851 standard defines a dependability lifecycle of products with focus on interoperable activities related to functional safety and its interactions with reliability, cybersecurity, SOTIF (Safety of the intended functionality) and real time. The standard also describes methods, description languages, data models, and databases that have been identified as necessary or critical, to enable the exchange/interoperability of data across all steps of the lifecycle encompassing activities executed at IP, SoC, system and item levels, in a technology independent way across application domains such as automotive, industrial, medical and avionics safety critical systems. The speaker, who is the chair of the working group on the standard will provide more insights into the topic.

Title:
MOVE Virtual Operations Class - Part 1 of 3
Date:
September 13th
5:00 PM (2 hours)
Abstract:

MOVE is offering a 3 part, Virtual, Operations Class.  This class is required for everyone interested in deploying on the MOVE truck or has a general interest in the program.  It is required for new MOVE members and recommended as a refresher for those that have previously taken it.  We discuss what to expect when deploying, what equipment is on the MOVE truck, and several safety procedures when working around the truck.  This is a virtual class that is broken up into 3 required 2 hour sessions.   Now that MOVE has two trucks, differences between the trucks will be discussed.  If you took this class previously, there will be new material due to the 2nd truck differences. 

This is a 3 part virtual class.

There will be a test after the third session - material will be provided for the test.  

Please use the above links to register for all three training sessions 

Title:
Characteristics of Successful Tech Hubs and Start-ups: Lessons from the Origin and Growth of Silicon Valley
Date:
September 14th
11:30 AM (1 hour)
Location:
Dreese
Columbus, OH
Abstract:

Abstract:  

Silicon Valley is commonly acknowledged as the tech capital of the world.  How did Silicon Valley come into being, and what can we learn for our Columbus hub?  The story goes back to local Hams trying to break RCA's tube patents, Stanford "angel" investors, the sinking of the Titanic, WW II and radar, and the SF Bay Area infrastructure that developed – these factors pretty much determined that the semiconductor and IC industries would be located in the Santa Clara Valley, and that the Valley would remain the world’s innovation center as new technologies emerge, and be the model for innovation worldwide.

This talk will give an exciting and colorful history of development and innovation that began in Palo Alto in 1909.  You'll meet some of the colorful characters – Cyril Elwell, Lee De Forest, Bill Eitel, Charles Litton, Fred Terman, David Packard, Bill Hewlett, Bill Shockley and others – who came to define our worldwide electronics industries through their inventions and process development.  You'll understand some of the novel management approaches that have become the hallmarks of its tech startups.  Many of these attributes can be found in other technology hubs; however, the SF Bay Area has five generations of experience, as well as a "critical mass" of talent, making it difficult for others to catch up.  In this talk, the key attributes will be illustrated and analyzed, for consideration by other tech hubs, and for entrepreneurs interested in creating their own start-ups or understanding them.

Power Electronics Hardware Design for Manufacturability
Date:
September 15th
11:00 AM (1 hour)
Abstract:

With a small diverse team of engineers, Magna-Power Electronics can offer over 160,000 different configurations of programmable power supplies and electronic loads, spanning current levels up to 10,000 Adc, voltage levels up to 10,000 Vdc, and power levels up to 3,000 kW. While Magna-Power has nearly fully in-sourced manufacturing operations under one roof, the strategies presented can also be implemented through close manufacturing partners by understanding the constraints imposed by various production processes and machinery. The presentation shares an overview of some of Magna-Power's prototyping techniques, design automation software, team management tools that were developed iteratively over its 40-year history. Topics include printed circuit board (PCB) design and vendor selection, production and design controls, and electro-mechanical integration. New content, beyond the original article, now includes recent progress in programmatically defined assembly models.
