NJ AES Chapter:

Minter Electronic Aircraft Safety Warning System

On Wednesday, December 13, 2006, the North Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society together with the Lone Eagle Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol will sponsor a talk entitled “Minter Electronic Aircraft Safety Warning System” by Mr. Jerry B. Minter.

About the Talk

The aircraft transponder system in present operation worldwide has some serious limitations as follows:

1. The dependence on barometric pressure to determine relative altitude, and

2. The lack of instant horizontal location of other aircraft transponders.

The following U.S. Parents have been issued covering solutions to the above limitations of the present transponder systems: 5,223,847; 5,506,509; 5,861,846, 5,889,491; 6,097,315; and 6,486,839. The solution uses a multimode antenna system that can locate the relative horizontal direction to another plane within one microsecond after receiving the first transponder pulse.

Lab models of the antenna and audio and visual pilot warning systems indicating the distance to and location of nearby aircraft may be demonstrated using a portable aircraft transponder. Because the system does not generate a radiation signal, no license is required for operation.

About the Speaker

Jerry B. Minter was first employed in 1935 by the Boonton Radio Corporation, NJ, in the development of band-pass intermediate frequency transformers. In 1936 he was involved in the development of aircraft radio receivers at the Radio Frequency Laboratories of Boonton, NJ. During the later part of 1936 he was employed by the Ferris Instrument Corp., NJ, to take charge of several projects including development of a signal generator and a radio noise and field-strength meter.

In 1939, Mr. Minter and some of his associates from Ferris Instrument Corp organized the Measurements Corp of Boonton, NJ, where he became Vice President and Chief Engineer. After much success with design and production of test equipment, the stockholders decided to sell the Measurements Corp. to the Edison Company in 1953. At that time, he had a number of conversations with Charles Edison about his father, Thomas Edison, and dined in the dining room of Edison’s West Orange Laboratory before it was turned over to the National Park Service as a National Historic Site.

In 1954, Mr. Minter bought the Components Corp. and entered into the audio business where he developed a series of special test records. In the 1960’s, the company designed and built miniature high voltage power supplies for use in high altitude probes for NASA. They also developed a high-reliability edgeboard connector called the “DigiKlip” that was used commercially in the Univac 1108, DC-10, as well as in space and military programs.

Mr. Minter also worked on video systems, one within a hospital area to reduce RF interference. In another medical project , he modified VCR’s to reduce their startup time in medical facilities within NYC. His most recent technical innovation is a passive collision warning system for small aircraft. Jerry Minter holds 26 patents of which the last six are on his aircraft collision avoidance system.

He received a BS in EE from MIT in 1934. He organized and chaired the first Northern New Jersey Subsection of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) in 1947. Jerry B. Minter was named a Fellow of the IEEE in 1969 and he became a Life Fellow of the IEEE in 1979. He also is a Fellow and past President of the Radio Club of America. Further, he is also a past President of the Audio Engineering Society and has held memberships in the Radio Electronic Television Manufacturing Association, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the American Standards Association, and the American Society of Metals.

Finally, but not the least of his past activities, Jerry B. Minter was a Senior Member of the Civil Air Patrol and used his own aircraft to conduct CAP search and rescue missions.

All Welcome!

You do not have to be a member of the IEEE or the Civil Air Patrol to attend. The North Jersey Section of the IEEE will sponsor a free buffet starting at 6:00 PM. Come and bring your friends.

Time: 7:00 PM (free buffet starts at 6:00 PM), Wednesday, December 13, 2006.

Place: Public Meeting Room, Morris County Library, 30 E. Hanover Ave, Whippany, NJ, 07960, (973) 285-6930.

NJ Consultants' Network:

PSoC Mixed Signal Development

On Thursday, January 25, 2007, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ is pleased to present ”PSoC Mixed Signal Development”, by Chris Mesibov.

About the Talk

CNNNJ is pleased to present a technical presentation about Cypress PSoC (Programmable System on Chip) mixed signal IC development. Since its introduction, the Cypress PSoC has made dramatic inroads into embedded systems as a versatile mixed signal microcontroller. The PSoC contains microcontroller, digital and analog functions that provide an embedded engineer a vast set of solution all within a single IC. The discussion will describe what functions can be provided, how they are implemented, why engineers are choosing the PSoC over other micro controllers, and how the PSoC is used. Application examples are examined and demonstrations of the software tools are given that provide insight into the powerful features and development environment available to the PSoC developer.

NJ Consultants' Network:

Building the Foundation For a Successful Consultant Marketing Plan

On Thursday, February 22, 2007, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ is pleased to present ”Building the Foundation For a Successful Consultant Marketing Plan”, by Greg Ratta.

About the Talk

CNNNJ is pleased to offer a non-technical presentation about building a solid foundation for a consultant’s marketing plan. Consultants work in a highly competitive and fast moving market where success depends on the consultant’s ability to build an effective marketing and delivery program around his or her particular expertise. Without self-analysis of what value one brings to the market, there is no foundation for that program. Does your CV put your mother to sleep? Does it include generic phrases like, “self-starter” or “works effectively alone or in teams”? Are you a telecom engineer listening for the footsteps echoing outside your office that will free you to strike out on your own? Are you unemployed and seeking a full time position? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this presentation has been designed for you!.

About the Speaker

Greg Ratta is a Licensed Professional Engineer, knowledgeable about voice and data network communication protocols, technologies and services. He is an experienced systems engineer – a problem solver, who has provided consulting services to manufacturers and service providers in the telecom and cable industries as well as to government agencies within DHS and DoJ. His background in hardware design, software development, systems analysis, network planning and operational methods has allowed him to be an effective facilitator for his clients in the planning and delivery of business systems and networking solutions to satisfy business objectives and ongoing operations.

NEWS from IEEE-USA:

IEEE-USA President Cites Need for High-Tech National Strategy at National Academies’ Offshoring Workshop

Washington (24 October 2006) - Because the offshoring of U.S. engineering and other high-skill jobs to developing countries is increasing, America needs a coordinated national strategy to maintain its technological leadership and promote job creation, IEEE-USA President Ralph W. Wyndrum Jr. said at the National Academy of Engineering today.

Wyndrum, speaking during the Academy’s two-day “Workshop on the Offshoring of Engineering: Facts, Myths, Unknowns and Implications,” said the offshoring of the U.S. engineering enterprise is an almost inevitable outcome of globalization.

“Labor cost is undoubtedly the major factor at present, but offshoring is much more complex than that,” Wyndrum said. “Business is also motivated by such considerations as market access and market development, access to talent, the cost of capital, governmental economic incentives, special or lower cost infrastructures and capabilities (e.g. subsidized telecommunications or Internet), access to universities and research centers, comparative government regulations, and a host of other factors. Even if labor cost-margins narrow, there will still be strong incentives for offshoring.”

Wyndrum’s panel, “Implications for the Engineering Workforce and Profession,” included Richard Freeman, the Herbert S. Ascherman professor of economics at Harvard University; and Vivek Wadhwa, executive-in-residence and adjunct professor at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering. Lori Kletzer, professor of economics and department chair at the University of California, Santa Cruz, served as moderator.

Although U.S. engineers cannot guarantee their jobs will not be offshored, Wyndrum recommended mid-career and lifelong education, as well as being innovative and entrepreneurial to remain employed. “It will require a modicum of tough love at times to change engineers’ thinking about their careers,” he said. “And it will take time to affect changes and see the results.”
