[]Vannevar Bush (March 11, 1890 – June 28, 1974) was an American engineer, inventor and science administrator, who during World War II headed the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), through which almost all wartime military R&D was carried out, including important developments in radar and the initiation and early administration of the Manhattan Project. He emphasized the importance of scientific research to national security and economic well-being, and was chiefly responsible for the movement that led to the creation of the National Science Foundation. { note: Actually 3 short documentaries which have been strung together } AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.

As Artificial Intelligence systems rapidly transition from passive predictive tools to fully autonomous decision-making agents, ensuring transparency, trust, and accountability has become a critical priority. This event focuses on Explainability-Driven Autonomous AI Agents—intelligent systems capable of operating independently across multiple domains while providing interpretable and trustworthy decision insights. Organized under the broader vision of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, this session brings together researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners working at the intersection of autonomous systems, explainable AI (XAI), edge intelligence, and safety-critical applications. The event will explore: - Foundations of explainability in autonomous AI agents - Architectures for multi-domain intelligent systems - Trust, robustness, and verification in AI-driven autonomy - Human-AI collaboration and interpretable decision pipelines - Applications across healthcare, smart infrastructure, defense, consumer electronics, and distributed intelligence - Ethical, regulatory, and societal implications of autonomous AI Special emphasis will be placed on circuit- and system-level innovations that enable deployable, real-time, and resource-efficient explainable AI frameworks. Through invited talks, panel discussions, and technical presentations, participants will gain insights into emerging methodologies that bridge algorithmic intelligence with hardware-aware design and system reliability. This event aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the IEEE community, encouraging the development of next-generation autonomous AI agents that are not only intelligent—but also transparent, accountable, and societally aligned.

Southeastern Michigan IEEE EMC Chapter technical meeting. Abstract: The demo session will start with a brief introduction on the basics of reverberation chambers (RCs). Validation, radiated immunity as well as radiated emission testing are discussed. We will bring a small, but fully working, stirred RC to the stage. Eight fast, synchronized electric-field probes will showcase real-time E-field strength measurements. Closed loop E-field control based on statistics is shown with different chamber loading. In a custom software, the audience can easily understand how the closed-loop control works. A demonstration using commercial EMC test automation software shows that the method is ready for day-to-day use. LUMILOOP's LSProbe E-field Probes enable accelerated measurements according to ISO 11451-5. The reverb chamber basics will also be visualized using live measurements, helping to quickly grasp how the invisible electric field behaves. Learn on how to improve your EMC measurements. Save time and money while having a better test coverage! Speaker(s): Samual, Lukas Agenda: 5:30 Networking and Zoom setup 6:00 Presentation Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/543702

Zoom link: Join Zoom Meeting https://uic.zoom.us/j/3750177436?pwd=YktNd1dheHQ5a05kUFlnakV0d0JrQT09 Title 100-300 GHz Wireless: transistors, ICs, systems Biography Mark Rodwell holds the Doluca Family Endowed Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCSB and directs the SRC/DARPA Center for Converged TeraHertz Communications and Sensing. His research group develops nm and THz transistors, and high-frequency integrated circuits and systems. Prof. Rodwell received the 2010 IEEE Sarnoff Award, the 2012 Marconi Prize Paper Award, the 1997 IEEE Microwave Prize, the 2009 IEEE IPRM Conference Award, and the 1998 European Microwave Conference Microwave Prize. Abstract We describe the opportunities, and the research challenges, presented in the development of 100-300GHz wireless communications and imaging systems. In such links, short wavelengths permit massive spatial multiplexing both for network nodes and point-point links, permitting aggregate transmission capacities approaching 1Tb/s. 100-300GHz radar imaging systems can provide thousands of image pixels and sub-degree angular resolution from small apertures, supporting foul-weather driving and aviation. Challenges include the mm-wave IC designs, the physical design of the front-end modules, the complexity of the back-end digital beamformer required for spatial multiplexing, and, for imaging, the development of system architectures requiring far fewer RF channels than the number of image pixels. We will describe transistor development, IC design, and system design, and describe our efforts to develop 140GHz massive MIMO wireless hubs, and 210GHz and 280GHz MIMO backhaul links.

[]One of the greatest inventors of the late 19th century, Alexander Graham Bell is probably most famous for the invention of the telephone and the ‘Bell Telephone Company’. Throughout his life, he sought to foster the advancement of scientific knowledge with his utmost dedication and sincere efforts. His career only began in earnest after his family moved from London, England to Ontario, Canada in an attempt to improve his health. He started as an elocution teacher for the deaf people where he worked tirelessly to spread an early form of sign language across America. He displayed his innovative talent with his invention of various sound recording and transmission devices. His greatest achievement remains the invention of the telephone that has changed and continues to change the way people communicate around the world. He was a pioneer, who gifted mankind with one of the most astonishing and trailblazing discoveries in human history, the telephone. AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.
