IEEE Madison’s November 7th 3 pm tour is at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery’s Saha Lab where they use CRISPR technology for addressing inherited retinal disorders. We’ll tour the lab, see a CRISPR machine and see how the output is used. Welcome to the CRISPR Vision Program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison! UW – Madison is a part of the Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We're innovating non-viral gene editing therapies for inherited retinal disorders. Our work aims to bring the groundbreaking potential of CRISPR technology to those affected by these diseases. The labs focus lies in overcoming the limitations of existing viral delivery systems and introducing novel, non-viral treatments for inherited eye diseases, particularly those affecting the retinal pigment epithelium. As a part of the SCGE Consortium, the lab is working in a community dedicated to developing safe and effective gene editing methods to treat genetic diseases in somatic cells.

IEEE Online Forum on Climate Change Technologies This online forum will highlight recent developments in IEEE technologies and solutions that promote climate stability. It will provide interesting and relevant keynote talks on technology. Roadmaps, panels, and subject-matter experts will provide vital information about climate change. IEEE is the global voice for engineering, computing, and technology information and resources. The IEEE Future Directions Committee has organized this event to provide insights into the technologies being developed at IEEE. Participants will learn about IEEE’s use of technology to achieve goals related to addressing the challenges posed by adaptation to and mitigation of climate change, as well as achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Neuromorphic computing or brain-inspired computing is considered as a potential solution to overcome the energy inefficiency of the von Neumann architecture for artificial intelligence applications. In order to realize spin-based neuromorphic computing practically, it is essential to design and fabricate electronic analogues of neurons and synapses. An electronic analogue of a synaptic device should provide multiple resistance states. A neuron device should receive multiple inputs and should provide a pulse output when the summation of the multiple inputs exceeds a threshold. We have been carrying out investigations on the design and development of various synaptic and neuron devices in our laboratory. Domain wall (DW) devices based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), where the DW can be moved by spin-orbit torque, are suitable candidates for the fabrication of synaptic and neuron devices. Spin-orbit torque helps in achieving DW motion at low energies whereas the use of MTJs helps in translating DW position information into resistance levels (or voltage pulses). This talk will summarize various designs of synthetic neurons synaptic elements and materials. The first half of the talk will be at an introductory level, aimed at first-year graduate students. The second half will provide details of the latest research. Speaker(s): S. N.

IEEE Calumet Section jointly with ISPE Calumet Chapter will be visiting Top Golf in Naperville Illinois on December 10th for a family social outing for the holidays. Everyone is welcome. Top Golf Napperville is a multi level entertainment venue with over 100 climate controlled hitting bays. The Social Outing includes lifetime membership to Top Golf for those who are new to Top Golf, 3 hours of golfing fun, Buffet dinner (BBQ Dinner), Drinks (Fountain soda, Ice tea, coffee and water included - Other alcoholic drinks offered and are not included in the IEEE price) and time to socialize and celebrate the holidays. Whether you are a golfer or not, Top Golf offers entertainment for all. Top Golf Naperville is about a one hour drive from Northwest Indiana. The deadline to sign up is Monday December 2nd. Because of the number of bays reserved there is a limit on the number of people able to attend. If you try to reserve and are told the event is full please contact Robert Fox. Additional bays can be added and we will have a waiting list for cancellations. Robert's phone number is (219)314-3733 or you can email him at [email protected] Cancellations are accepted until the Wednesday December 4, 2024. After that date you can still cancel but will be responsible for the cost if we are not able to fill up the space with people off the waiting list. Co-sponsored by: Robert Fox Agenda: 2:00 Start of assigned golfing time in IEEE assigned bays 2:30 Buffet dinner served behind the assigned bays 5:00 End of IEEE assigned time. *** Top Golf Naperville is about a 1 hour drive from Northwest Indiana.

Everyone should be aware of the hazards of electrocution by this time. Delving further into electrical hazards related to the power industry the primary hazards addresses with an arc-flash is the incident energy release - electrocution, temperature, and mechanical trauma. The focus is generally related to the physical modes of injury - that is burns and electrocution. What if the potential modes of injury extend well beyond the physical perspective? Dr. Raphel Lee, founding member of CETRI based in Chicago, will introduce us to the other modes of injury that can result from involvement with electrical hazards. Please join us for an informative hour long virtual presentation held on Dec 10th starting at noon. PHDs will be available for those who successfully reply to the questions posted in the chat during the event.
