Yun-Qing
Shi, PhD, Professor, NJIT, from 1987
·
Nirwan
Ansari, PHD, Professor, NJIT, from 1988
·
Zhicheng
Ni, doctoral student, NJIT
The awards were given for their US Patent entitled
"Systems and Method for Robust Reversible Data Hiding and Data Recovery in
the Spatial Domain." The Research
& Development Council of New Jersey is a nonprofit organization dedicated
to cultivating an environment that supports the advancement of research and
development throughout New Jersey. The
awards were presented at a ceremony and reception in the IMAX Theater of the Liberty Science Center and those receiving other awards included former Governor Tom

devoted to the presentation of this award at: http://www.rdnj.org/q/site/9E5DUNYG5F=non,awards10njit. On this page are nine photos of
the award presentation and a link to a ‘Tribute Film’ with the awardees
explaining the significance of their patented invention.
The patented invention provides a method of robust
reversible data hiding which allows the original digital cover image to be
recovered without any distortion once the hidden data has been extracted from
the cover medium. This technology has
promising applications in digital forensics, intellectual property security,
and the transmission of medical images.

Registration
Open for Two “Soft Skill” Courses in 2011
At IEEE, we
recognize that that much of your engineering work involves writing or presenting
information to people (end users, marketing executives) who don't have your
technical expertise. Thanks to recent
requests from many IEEE members, we are launching two "soft skills"
courses this year on improving your written communications and presentation
skills. Please review the descriptions
in this newsletter for content, schedules and dates.
The first course
"Improving Your Writing Skills – Tips & Techniques" will be
offered over four weeks on Wednesdays - January 5, 12, 19 and 26. http://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_view/list_meeting/4271
The second course
"Developing Your Presentation Skills – Tips & Techniques" will be
offered over four weeks on Wednesdays -- February 2, 9, 16, and 23. http://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_view/list_meeting/4273
Classes will run
from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. See
registrations forms for details or register online at the above links.
These courses will
be held at DeVry University, 630 U.S. Highway One, North Brunswick NJ
07902-3362. For any questions, contact
North Jersey GOLD chair Larry Yang at yangl “AT” ieee.org.
Additionally, many folks have requested CEU/PDU
credits for these courses. Both courses
qualify for either 1.0 CEUs or 10 PDUs and are available at an additional cost
of just $25 more per course. Both courses
emphasize individualized instruction with a small class size (22 attendees
maximum).

NEWS from IEEE-USA:
IEEE-USA
President Commends House for Passing Innovation Legislation
Washington (21 December 2010) - IEEE-USA President
Evelyn Hirt commends the House of Representatives for passing the America
COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 on Tuesday.
The legislation, which the Senate passed on 17
December, authorizes federal investment in science, engineering, innovation,
technology and competitiveness, and is designed to help the United States
maintain its world leadership in high-technology and create jobs. It will now go to President Barack Obama for
his signature.
COMPETES strives to, among other things, prepare
students for high-skilled, high-paying jobs by improving science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM) education; keeps basic research program budgets on a path to doubling
at the Department of Energy Office of Science, the National Science Foundation
(NSF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST); reauthorizes
the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy (ARPA-E), which supports
high-risk, high-reward transformational energy technology development; and
provides loan guarantees "for a project that re-equips, expands, or
establishes a manufacturing facility in the United States."
"This legislation is important for the United States as it competes to retain global leadership in technology innovation,
research and math and science," Hirt said.
"It will enhance needed economic growth and U.S. STEM education, while helping manufacturers become more competitive by
supporting innovative manufacturing technologies."
Rep. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.), outgoing chairman of
the House Science & Technology Committee, said on the House floor Tuesday that
more than half of U.S. economic growth since the end of World War II in 1945
can be attributed to the development and deployment of new technologies.
"These investments are the path toward
sustainable economic recovery and growth and the path toward prosperity for the
next 50 years," Gordon said.
"There is an undeniable relationship between investments in R&D
and the creation of jobs, the creation of companies, and economic growth."
"COMPETES," short for "Creating
Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education and
Science," is based on recommendations outlined in the 2005 National
Academies' report, "Rising Above the Gathering Storm."
IEEE (www.ieee.org) is the world's largest professional association dedicated to advancing
technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. It supports the professional interests of
more than 395,000 members worldwide.
IEEE-USA (www.ieeeusa.org) advances the public good and promotes the careers and public policy
interests of more than 210,000 engineers, scientists and allied professionals
who are U.S. members of IEEE.
