Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann (20 February 1844 – 5 September 1906) was an Austrian physicist and philosopher. His greatest achievements were the development of statistical mechanics, and the statistical explanation of the second law of thermodynamics. Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. It describes how macroscopic observations (such as temperature and pressure) are related to microscopic parameters that fluctuate around an average. It connects thermodynamic quantities (such as heat capacity) to microscopic behavior, whereas, in classical thermodynamics, the only available option would be to measure and tabulate such quantities for various materials. Ludwig Boltzmann's contributions to physics and philosophy have left a lasting impact on modern science. His pioneering work in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics laid the foundation for some of the most fundamental concepts in physics. In 1877 he provided the current definition of entropy, Max Planck named the constant kB the Boltzmann constant. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Planck) in quantizing resonators in his (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Body) theory of radiation used (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann%E2%80%99s_constant) to describe the entropy of the system to arrive at his formula in 1900. However, Boltzmann's work was not always readily accepted during his lifetime, and he faced opposition from some of his contemporaries, particularly in regards to the existence of atoms and molecules. Nevertheless, the validity and importance of his ideas were eventually recognized, and they have since become cornerstones of modern physics. Here, we delve into some aspects of Boltzmann's legacy and his influence on various areas of science. AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.

For nearly 50 years, chemical engineer and inventor Mária Telkes applied her prodigious intellect to harnessing the power of the sun. She designed and built the world’s first successfully solar-heated modern residence and identified a promising new chemical that, for the first time, could store solar heat like a battery. And yet, along the way, she was undercut and thwarted by her boss and colleagues — all men — at MIT. Despite these obstacles, Telkes persevered and, upon her death in 1995, held more than 20 patents. She is now recognized as a visionary pioneer in the field of sustainable energy. An unexpected and largely forgotten heroine, Telkes was remarkable in her vision and tenacity — a scientist and a woman in every way ahead of her time. Her research and innovations from the 1930s through the ‘70s continue to shape how we power our lives today AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.

In 2024 we offered ‘Officer Training’ to our ‘newly’ elected officers, veteran officers and volunteers; as well as any IEEE member, at any grade level or position. Our wish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and management skills used within the IEEE, how they function and how to employ them both as IEEE officers, and in your everyday work and life. These are referred to as ‘soft skills’ in that they are not based on the physical principles we all learned as we worked toward our engineering degrees. They are psychological, organizational, interpersonal and their training requires that they be ‘learned’ in two associated ways.In this session, we will focus on advanced vtools and other features which we could not cover in the prior sessions. We will entertain all varieties of questions and ideas.Note: Space for these classes is not like outer space, it is limited, so you must register to receive the necessary codes and passwords to attend.Speaker(s): Sharan KalwaniAgenda: 08:45 AM - Set up, introductions, (ON YOUR OWN) coffee/tea, mini muffins, croissants09:00 AM - Start of Session10:45 AM - End of formal session, start of Q&A, discussions, topics not covered by any other IEEE Geo-units11:00 AM - Wrap UpNote: ALL TIMES are EST/EDT (UTC-5)Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/406161

Silicon photonics are the semiconductor integration of EIC and PIC on a silicon substrate (wafer) with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. On the other hand, co-packaged optics (CPO) are heterogeneous integration packaging methods to integrate the optical engine (OE) which consists of photonic ICs (PIC) and the electrical engine (EE) which consists of the electronic ICs (EIC) as well as the switch ASIC (application specific IC). The advantages of CPO are: (a) to reduce the length of the electrical interface between the OE/EE (or PIC/EIC) and the ASIC, (b) to reduce the energy required to drive the signal, and (c) to cut the latency which leads to better electrical performance. In the next few years, we will see more implementations of a higher level of heterogeneous integration of PIC and EIC, whether it is for performance, form factor, power consumption or cost.

Title: Signal Processing and Deep Learning for Practical Active Noise ControlDigital active noise control (ANC) systems have gained significant popularity (in ANC headphones and road noise cancellation in automobiles) in recent years, thanks to the advancements in digital electronics such as embedded processors and ADC/DAC converters. This progress has also led to the development of more complex, multi-channels, distributed and efficient control algorithms for ANC systems. These algorithms allow for improved performance and better control of noise in a wide range of applications. The ease of implementation and lower costs associated with these systems have made them a popular choice for solving noise problems in various fields.In this presentation, I will discuss the practical aspects of designing an ANC system for headphones and windows. I will showcase some of the proof-of-concept systems developed at the Digital Signal Processing Lab at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and demonstrate how machine learning and digital signal processing techniques can be utilized to detect noise patterns and control noise effectively.I will also provide an overview of the current advancements in ANC algorithms, including multi-channel ANC, virtual sensing and control, selective noise control, psychoacoustic ANC, and other new research directions in ANC systems.

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.

In 2024 we will offer ‘Officer Training’ to our ‘newly’ elected AND veteran officers and volunteers; as well as any IEEE member, at any grade level or position. Our wish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and management skills used within the IEEE, how they function and how to employ them both as IEEE officers, and in your everyday work and life. These are referred to as ‘soft skills’ in that they are not based on the physical principles we all learned as we worked toward our engineering degrees. They are psychological, organizational, interpersonal and their training requires that they be ‘learned’ in two associated ways. The first part is an appreciation of the principles and techniques involved. That is usually part of a class or study covering the basics (theory) of the method. That part we intend to offer in the form of ‘on-line’ classes and reference study material. The second part requires putting the ‘theory’ into active practice. We often liken this to learning a sport, such as playing a game of tennis. No amount of ‘book study’ can teach you how it feels to swing a racket, or how to know when your swing connects perfectly, and the ball goes exactly where you intended. Those elements of a skill only come with practice! Classes: As an introduction to the ‘theory’ portion of these skills, we will offer a set of virtual classes supported by study materials available through the (https://r4.ieee.org/sem/) and the (https://ieee.learningpool.com/) The virtual classes will begin in the 2nd week of January 2024 and conclude end of February of that year. Each class will be conducted via WebEx/Zoom as an overview’ of the topic ‘de jour’ and a discussion or Q&A session to answer questions and clarify issues.

Did you know that everyone uses math, either in a job or in daily activities or both? In fact, one uses math every day - even if you don't think about it. Have you built something recently? You had to count and measure the pieces. Do you have a favorite team? That team keeps score in games. When you buy something, how do you know that you got the correct change? This adventure helps Cub Scout Wolves explore how to use math and have fun. In addition, technology and coding activities will be conducted.Wheaton, Illinois, United States

Investigating the dynamics of these solitons is pivotal, as it not only unveils new physics but also propels the development of magnetic devices . Concurrently, spin transport is another essential facet of spintronics research. Efforts to generate pure spin currents have spurred investigations into various spin orbit effects, including the spin Hall effect and Rashba effect, leading to intriguing physical phenomena and diverse magnetoresistances .In this presentation, I will share insights from my journey in spintronics research, focusing on uncovering novel phenomena in spin dynamics and transport. The first part focuses on spin dynamics across a broad dynamic range, particularly emphasizing research on magnetic domain wall dynamics. Discussions encompass the creep and hopping dynamics governing slow regimes and extend to the fast and ultrafast dynamics achievable in emerging magnetic materials, such as ferrimagnets and antiferromagnets . In the second part, I will present our recent findings on spin transport phenomena. We employed THz time-domain spectroscopy to reveal the fundamental magnetotransport characteristics in magnetic materials undergoing phase transitions . Additionally, we will demonstrate how the utilization of magnetic phase transitions can lead to the generation of large spin current bursts, the underlying mechanism of which transcends the orthodox spin torque theory . If time permits, I will introduce our recent results on magnonic studies, covering topics such as the control of magnon handedness in ferrimagnets , gate-controlled coherent magnon frequency modulation , magnetic-field manipulation of thermal phonons via magnon-phonon coupling , and nonlinear magnon-magnon coupling in synthetic antiferromagnets .

IEEE PES Central Indiana Chapter is happy to host a technical seminar on power quality given by Mr. Larry Conrad, who has over 40 years of industry experience in power reliability and quality, on March 21 at AES Indaina's Morris Street Office with free food and beverage. One professional development hour (PDH) can be offered based on requests. Note: This seminar was rescheduled from its original planned date (March 5) due to logistic issues. Sorry for the inconvenience and look forward to seeing you on March 21. Abstract: Voltage sags occur many times more often than electrical supply interruptions. Sags can be very disruptive when utilization equipment suddenly shuts down due to the momentary voltage reduction. The lights blink, processes quit, and workers scramble to clean up messes, recover, and return to nominal operation. This seminar will explain what sags are, what causes them and how to estimate their frequency and severity. It will also provide known strategies for minimizing and possibly eliminating their negative effects on utilization equipment.

[]For nearly 50 years, chemical engineer and inventor Mária Telkes applied her prodigious intellect to harnessing the power of the sun. She designed and built the world’s first successfully solar-heated modern residence and identified a promising new chemical that, for the first time, could store solar heat like a battery. And yet, along the way, she was undercut and thwarted by her boss and colleagues — all men — at MIT.Despite these obstacles, Telkes persevered and, upon her death in 1995, held more than 20 patents. She is now recognized as a visionary pioneer in the field of sustainable energy. An unexpected and largely forgotten heroine, Telkes was remarkable in her vision and tenacity — a scientist and a woman in every way ahead of her time.

[]For nearly 50 years, chemical engineer and inventor Mária Telkes applied her prodigious intellect to harnessing the power of the sun. She designed and built the world’s first successfully solar-heated modern residence and identified a promising new chemical that, for the first time, could store solar heat like a battery. And yet, along the way, she was undercut and thwarted by her boss and colleagues — all men — at MIT. Despite these obstacles, Telkes persevered and, upon her death in 1995, held more than 20 patents. She is now recognized as a visionary pioneer in the field of sustainable energy. An unexpected and largely forgotten heroine, Telkes was remarkable in her vision and tenacity — a scientist and a woman in every way ahead of her time.

Abstract: Predicting the future is never easy, it always entails a degree of uncertainty, if not luck. Predicting technology trends is even harder as it requires both technical and business acumen, e.g., whether the technology will be developed, productized, and ultimately adopted on the market. It is almost an art to distill between a fashion and a true scientific trend. At the same time, the public likes to read predictions and many individuals and organizations regularly write technology predictions, such as Gartner, MIT, Forbes and many others regularly produce predictions. IEEE Computer Society started its technology predictions informally in early 2010 and formally via annual press releases in 2014, followed by their respective scorecards in 2016. We realized that our audience appreciates self-evaluation, hence we introduced scorecards at the end of the period of prediction. Our predictions reached substantial audience, e.g., in 2018, it was picked up by 300 media outlets (84.6M audience), which is entirely different from classical publishing. We considered predictions as a new type of publication, a lightweight, short publication (approximately a paragraph per prediction). These predictions also triggered other media outreach, such as blogs, interviews, panel sessions, and this special issue of IEEE Computer magazine. Over the years we became better in press releases and social media announcing our report, to the extent that it became visible at the IEEE Board of Directors, and found its way to the report of the IEEE Executive Director. One notable side-product that grew out of our predictions was the 2022 report that comprehensively predicted 23 technologies 7 years ahead. This report had a sister report written by Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan on technology predictions specific to Asia. These technology predictions surpassed all our expectations in terms of impact, and we plan to continue for as long as audience has interest. Co-sponsored by: George Pappas Speaker(s): Dejan S.

The growth of electronics within the automobile has been nothing short of phenomenal. In 2015 it accounted for 13% of the total value of the car and in 2018 it has now jumped to 20%. A large portion of that has been purely due to the rise of computing-based components, such as ADAS, ECUs, etc. New technologies such as haptic sensors, and augmented reality heads-up displays — which offer drivers alerts, safety aids, and warnings on invisible screens embedded in the windshield — have entered the vocabulary of traditional suppliers. Large navigation and entertainment display screens in the dashboard offer Web-based information and media as well as data arrays picked up from networked roads and other cars. The autonomous car will further up the ante, and soon. It will change the “living space” dimension of automotive interiors. This talk will focus on many of what is the “under the hood” computing portions, technologies and the accompanying massive software baggage that needs to go with it. It is time we got more familiar with the computing technologies and underlying foundations that go with it. We will introduce many terms, concepts and issues to help folks in Automotive technologies get better prepared for the future (or is fusion a better word?) world of automotive & computer tech.

IEEE Senior Member is the highest IEEE member grade for which IEEE members can apply and does not incur any additional cost or fees. The Senior Member grade is a way for the IEEE members to receive recognition for their professional experience and significant performance in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and the related fields including Computer Science and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, Law, and Policy. The advancement to Senior Member provides the IEEE members with significant and distinct benefits. These benefits include the eligibility to hold Executive IEEE Volunteer Positions and getting recognition of your peers for technical and professional excellence. Newly elevated senior members will also receive an engraved senior member plaque from IEEE. Senior Member Elevation: IEEE SEM Section Membership Committee will reprise its Senior Member Elevation event, on Saturday April 20, 2024 from 10:00AM to 11:30AM(online). Elevation: Senior Member Reviewers will assist interested member candidates with at least 10 years of experience in their profession. The way it works is: At least a 10 years of significant experience with BS degree needs be be established to initiate the senior membership elevation. (A Ph.D is considered to be 5 years of significant experience and a master degree is considered to be 2 years of significant experience. The remaining 5 (with PhD) to 8 (with MS degree) years of significant experience should be established from the member experience in his/her profession to initiate and submit applications for Senior Member Elevation.) Note: There is no cost to becoming a Senior Member, and this step is a necessary prelude to seeking the IEEE ‘Fellow’ level. For a complete description of the Senior Member process and its benefits, see the link at: https://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/grade_elevation.html To (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/405729)for "Elevation" Time Slot, please(https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/405729)for the event and consider contacting existing senior members/fellows as references; also bring an electronic copy of your resume, and relevant supporting materials (list of papers published, standards work done, patents, senior/leadership positions, etc). Here is a link to (https://www.ieee.org/membership/senior/deadlines.html) before filing your application. Also you may seek to contact or network with other Southeastern Michigan Section members who were upgraded to senior status. Networking: * We recommend that attendees join us online, we will create 3 breakout rooms, one for each reference (at least) * NOTE: Preference given to members of SE Michigan first! Time permitting we can follow up with members from outside the Section * The whole idea of the Saturday meeting: - - Is to learn and connect with references. when references meet you and interact - Once they know you, they can do a better job of writing a reference - Get tips on what to upload to the online application - Learn what areas to include/highlight for the supplemental materials - Learn not to simply copy paste the CV to the different areas of the online application.
