Grace Brewster Hopper (née Murray; December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy Rear Admiral. One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first code linking routines. Hopper was also one of the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages, and the FLOW-MATIC programming language she created using this theory was later extended to create COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today. AFTER the three documentaries (short+medium+short in length) - we can have a brief discussion session. NOTE: You must supply your own soda pop and popcorn! :-) Trivia may also follow, so bring your Jeopardy hats too Agenda: 5:30 PM - Welcome and Introductions, Chapter business update; (on your own) Pizza, Popcorn and Soda Pop 5:35 PM - Documentary 6:35 PM - End of Documentary; Start of Q & A; Group Discussion 7:00 PM - Wrap Up ALL times are in EST/EDT (UTC-4 or UTC-5) depending upon local day light savings times in when effect Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/456039
“If we make them smaller, we can make them faster” has been the approach to building faster computers over the last 70-years starting with the first transistors and continuing as we built increasingly more complex integrated circuits. This was known as “Moore’s Law”. Recently, our technology is no longer achieving higher densities as we scale to smaller features sizes first with NAND Flash and now with SRAM and DRAM. New techniques known as Beyond Moore are required to continue to build faster and more complex computers. David Bondurant reviews the emergence of 3D memory and 3D packaging as today’s approach to building the fastest Supercomputers and AI Processors. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/455111

[]Very little is known about the Indian Nuclear industry, particularly by the moden day society in the USA. Often viewed thru the lens of the Cold War (an incorrect perception by the way), over the last decade it has come to be known as a trustworthy nuclear partner and growing customer for western nuclear technology. The genesis of the current state of India's nuclear energy strategy can be easily traced to Homi J Bhabha (HJB) who was a well known contemporary of the famous physicists and scientists of the 1930s - well before the outbreak of WW-II. Soon after India gained her independance from the British empire in 1947, HJB pioneered a massive movement towards fundamental scientific, mathematical research in India and laid the foundations/ground work for its present day progress. Most current leaders of India's nuclear industry were all hand picked by HJB and bought into his vision. To understand this more intimately, this talk will reflect on his life and contributions as well as briefly touch upon his vision. It is hoped that this presentation, will help spark a future series of talks where we can learn better, how nuclear energy can potentially become a basis for the world's energy needs. This lecture also commenorates the anniversary of his demise (January 24, 1960), Some feedback from attendees of this event: "Thank you so for enlightening us this evening about the life and contributions of Dr. Homi Bhabha. I enjoyed the presentation very much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." -- Satish Udpa, University Distinguished Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Michigan State University. "Thanks. The presentation today was excellent." -- R. Uthurusamy (Samy), Retired, Past Director & Staff Research Scientist, General Motors.

Microgrids can allow facilities to maintain continuity of electric power service for critical loads during long duration outages. Most microgrids use a variety of power sources and energy storage to provide on-site generation, including conventional generators, renewables, and energy storage. Traditional batteries typically complement diesel generation operation but are rarely used to replace generators, primarily because of the high cost and limited energy duration of commercially available battery technologies. Flow battery technology offers a potential alternative to traditional chemistries to reduce dependence on conventional generators while still ensuring system reliability. Vanadium redox flow batteries offer unique differentiators to lead acid and lithium-ion battery technologies such as increased safety, longer rated duration, and longer life. However, the nascency of this technology and limited understanding of reliability and operational performance, coupled with high equipment cost, typically limit the opportunities for field deployment. This talk covers the fundamentals of microgrids and discusses the results from laboratory tests of a vanadium flow battery that evaluated the potential for such a battery to replace existing diesel generators.

A Consultants Committee Virtual Meeting A few years ago the (https://ieeeusa.org/committees/aicncc/) polled local consultants network chairs to find out the status of their local consultants network. What the Consultants Committee learned is that many local consultants networks are having trouble organizing in-person meetings. We also learned that many chairs have questions about activities of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. On January 30 at 12:00pm-1:00pm EST, the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee is again sponsoring a virtual workshop for local consultant network chairs. We have asked senior committee members William Kassebaum and Larry Nelson to give a presentation on key activities and services of IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. In addition, these committee members will add their commentary about what independent consultants should expect in 2025. After the presentation, there will be a Q/A with members of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. IEEE-USA Consultants Committee members want to address any questions about the committee's activities that local chairs may have. The speakers will address any additional questions chairs may have regarding the presentation. So, we invite all Chairs, Vice Chairs and other network officers, as well as potential future Board members, to register and attend this online event. This meeting will be recorded to be used as an on Demand resource. Speaker(s): William R. Kassebaum, Larry Nelson Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/460103
Join us the IEEE RRVS CCS & IAS, WIE, YP, Life members chapter Meeting at 6pm. TITLE: Drivers and Enablers of Power Electronics Technology in Aerospace. Program: The increasing demand for high efficiency is driving the aerospace industry to apply electrical energy more extensively across a range of applications. Electrical power is being utilized in areas such as vertical and winged propulsion, flight and environmental controls, utility actuation, taxiing, de-icing, and anti-icing, each at varying levels of maturity. Additionally, the need for higher efficiency electrical circuits requires higher voltages, currents, and frequencies than current aerospace standards allow. The shift from using electric generators to batteries as energy storage devices is transforming power distribution to High Voltage DC (HVDC), replacing the conventional 400Hz and variable frequency AC distribution systems. These changes are driving new requirements for electrical system architecture and the associated components. These drivers necessitate enabling technologies from material sciences, high efficiency components , and advanced algorithms to address the challenges faced by the industry. This presentation will discuss the underlying physics behind the drivers listed above and some of the enabling technologies being researched to address the industry’s evolving demand About the Speaker: Dr. Waleed Said Dr Experienced Technologist with a demonstrated history of working in the aviation and aerospace industry. Skilled in Power Systems Design & Development, Root Cause Analysis, Motor Control, and Strategic Leadership. Strong controls technology professional with a Master’s and a PhD degrees focused in Electrical and Power Electronics Engineering from Loughborough University in the UK.
