[] What if I told you that UltraHD could be broadcast over ATSC 1.0? Sounds implausible, right? After all, we're talking about cramming HEVC-encoded 4K video into a 19.3 Mbps channel originally designed for MPEG-2 over thirty years ago. What if we exploit every trick in the book—specialized rate control, transport stream shaping, GOP tuning, and deep multiplexer hacks—to make it happen? In this talk, we’ll explore the brutal constraints laid out in ATSC 1.0, why off-the-shelf solutions don’t quite cut it, and how open-source tools and custom integrations can push the limits of legacy broadcast infrastructure. If you think modern codecs, real-time and non-real-time encoding, and practical broadcast engineering don't mix, this session might just change your mind.

The IEEE Central Indiana Joint PES/PELS/IAS Chapter is pleased to host Dr. Yangmin Ding from NEC Laboratories America for an insightful webinar on Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology and its latest applications in power grid monitoring. One PDH will be available to those who attend the entire webinar. Abstract: As modern power grids face increasing challenges-from aging infrastructure and extreme weather to cybersecurity threats and the rise of distributed energy resources (DERs)-utilities need real-time, high-resolution monitoring solutions to enhance reliability and resilience. Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) is emerging as a transformative technology that leverages existing fiber-optic networks to provide continuous, wide-area visibility of grid assets without requiring additional power or sensors. In this talk, I will explore how DFOS enables utilities to detect and localize anomalies in real-time, from faults and mechanical stress on power utility infrastructures to environmental impacts like rainfall, icing, and temperature changes. I will also discuss how DFOS enhances predictive maintenance, physical security, and storm preparedness, ultimately helping grid operators make faster, data-driven decisions. Through real-world case studies, I will highlight how utilities are deploying DFOS to improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and strengthen grid resilience.

[]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.

Pathology data, primarily consisting of slides and diagnostic reports, inherently contain knowledge pivotal for advancing data-driven biomedical research and clinical practice. However, the hidden and fragmented nature of this knowledge across various data modalities not only hinders its computational utilization but also impedes the effective integration of AI technologies in the domain of pathology. To systematically organize pathology knowledge for computational use, we propose PathoGraph, a representation method capable of comprehensively and structurally capturing multi-scale disease characteristics alongside pathologists’ expertise in a graph-based format. Furthermore, by leveraging existing pathology image recognition techniques, we achieved large-scale automated construction of PathoGraph, applied it to enhance the performance of downstream deep learning models, and presented two illustrative use cases that highlight its clinical potential. Collectively, we believe our efforts lay a critical foundation for constructing pathology knowledge graphs, thereby advancing AI-driven pathology practice.

The IEEE Central Indiana Joint PES/PELS/IAS Chapter is excited to host Dr. Zhaoyu Wang, a Full Professor from Iowa State University, for a PES seminar on big data analytics in power distribution grids. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights from an industry expert, enjoy free pizza, and earn 1 PDH. Don't miss this excellent chance to learn and engage in discussions with a leading professional in the field! Abstract: Recent years have seen a dramatic growth of smart sensors in power distribution grids. The new sensing capabilities, offered by smart meters, micro-phasor measurement units, and SCADA, have extended utilities’ visibility to grid edges. However, the power industry faces new challenges in managing the massive amount of data and extracting useful and actionable information from the measurements. This talk will present a few use cases of distribution grid data. The first one is using SCADA data for measurement and verification (M&V) of the energy saving effect of conservation voltage reduction (CVR). The work is based on a recently published IEEE Standard P3102 CVR Data Collection and Management Procedures. The second one is using various outage records to quantify grid resilience and provide metrics to guide planning and operation. The third one is using smart meter data to develop a model-free framework for dynamic solar hosting capacity analysis.

[]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.

Long searched but only now discovered two-dimensional (2D) magnets are one of the selected group of materials that retain or impart strongly spin correlated properties at the limit of atomic layer thickness. In this presentation, I will discuss how different layered compounds (e.g., CrX3 (X=F, Cl, Br, I), MnPS3, Fe5-xGeTe2, Cr2Ge2Te6) can provide new playgrounds for applications and fundamental exploration of spin correlations involving quantum-effects, topological spin-excitations and ultrafast laser pulses. In particular, I will show how van der Waals magnets do not require any magnetic anisotropy to stabilize 2D magnetism and demonstrate the null valid of the Mermin-Wagner theorem in practical applications. Moreover, some recent results of ultrafast laser excitations on different vdW heterostructures will be shown towards all-optical control of their magnetic properties with efficient heat management.

With spring comes the onset of the severe weather conditions the Midwest is noted for. Knowing how to access the approaching weather is the first step intaking appropriate precautions to keep safe. Radar can only supply part of ht33e information needed to assess a weather situation. The National Weather Service relies on first-person reports from people in the field with eyes on the weather phenomenon. Eyewitness accounts in addition to radar returns allows the most accurate depiction of the weather. Even if you do not plan to actively pursue weather spotting knowing what is approaching and what actions to take can help save your life and the3e lives of those around you. The Severe Weather Spotting course will prepare you to determine the severity of the approaching weather and give you the tools to take the best course of action. Included is material on the types of weather most frequently encountered this time of the year, how to read the sky and assess the type of weather approaching, and the correct course of action to ensure safety. Attendees will also be supplied with contact numbers for the NWS and given information on how to report weather conditions. This course is taught by veteran NWS instructors. Attendees will receive certificates of completion.
