IEEE and North
Jersey Section Going Web 2.0, Facebook & Linked-In
If you are reading this article, there is a good
chance you are reading this either on a paper newsletter or on a static
webpage. Some of that will be changing
to provide the reader alternative channels of accessing important information.
This article tries to provide a brief introduction
to RSS, Really Simple Syndication, which is the core technology behind Web 2.0
features, applications, and how IEEE is now using it.
There are many detailed descriptions of RSS and how
it works (see Wikipedia for a good introduction to RSS and XML), but in the
context of Web 2.0, it is an XML (eXtensible markup language) based push
technology that allows for moving information from the content producer to the appropriate
client software being used to aggregate data from many sources to present to
the user.
Many people are already using such client software
without actually knowing that it is RSS and XML driving it under the hood. For example, news portal sites like Yahoo
utilize RSS, Google Reader is an aggregator that also collects subscribed feeds
as diverse as news stories, daily blogs, to audio and video podcasts. Popular social networking sites like Facebook
and Linked-In are also powered by this technology and push member's status
changes and postings out to email, twitter and SMS.
So what does this have to do with the IEEE? One great example of how the IEEE currently
uses Web 2.0 is the individualized myIEEE (http://www.ieee.org/web/membership/myieee.html)
portal that every single member has as part of their membership. It allows for customization of products and services
of interest to the member as well as notification of IEEE wide events of
interest in different categories.
Additionally, a little over a year ago the IEEE
introduced a new meeting and event announcement system which allows for
publishing feeds of these events to the public.
This data is then collected using the subscriber's favorite client
aggregator software.
Many people make use of one or more of such
technologies and can now integrate their access to local IEEE event
notifications. Over the course of the
next year the North Jersey Section will roll out all meeting and event
notifications using RSS. You can begin
to participate now using the following URL:
meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meetings/rss/1/
NORTH%20JERSEY
Paste this address into your RSS reader or
aggregator software of choice. You can even use Microsoft Outlook 2007 to
collect notifications. Just go to the
tools, account settings, RSS feeds tab and paste this URL into the dialog box.
Additionally, if you use Facebook or LinkedIn, the
North Jersey Section now has a Facebook fan page that you can become a fan of
and all these meeting postings will be notified via the fan page which you can
join here:
www.facebook.com/pages/IEEE-North-Jersey-Section/
If you use LinkedIn, you can join the IEEE North
Jersey Section Group to receive the same event notifications as well. Just go to
www.linkedin.com
and search for IEEE North Jersey Section under the groups menu.
Click through links for both the fan page and group
will be available off the main North Jersey Section website at http://web.njit.edu/~ieeenj. As the process of rolling out better
integrated Web 2.0 functionality continues via myIEEE and our Facebook fan page
and Linked-In group, the updates will be publicized in future articles. For now, try out RSS feeds and our Fan Page
and or Group to see how you can make better use of this information using your
notification channel of choice.

NJ EDS/C&S:
Digital
Radiography
On February 10, 2010, the IEEE NJ Section
Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems Chapters together with the New Jersey
Institute of Technology will host a talk on “Digital Radiography." The speaker will be Distinguished Lecturer,
Dr. Lucian A. Kasprzak.
About the Talk
If you or someone you know has had an x-ray
recently, you may have discovered that things have changed in the radiology
department. Almost all the techniques
used today are digital. Some techniques
used in the radiology department of a hospital are digital by nature. As examples, Computed Radiography, Magnetic
Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography come to mind. However, general radiography and mammography
were not digital as originally conceived.
These two types of medical radiography have gone through a transition in
the last 15 years, resulting in the displacement of x-ray film radiography by
digital devices. This change in media,
so to speak, allows radiologists to see images almost instantaneously. Further, the infrastructure is now in place
to quickly send these images literally around the world for analysis or second
opinion.
After a brief description of the x-ray film
technique, we will explore the digital technologies used in general radiography
and mammography. The image capture
technologies and their applications will be described with a focus on aspects
of resolution and detection. These
detectors use TFT technology similar to that used in flat panel
displays. Key attributes of the detector
pixels, such as, fill factor, modulation transfer function, detective quantum
efficiency and fixed pattern noise will be reviewed. In addition, the components, materials and
processes used in the fabrication of these devices will be examined to lend
perspective on their performance and reliability. Finally, some practical challenges for
possible future improvement will be advanced.
About the Speaker
Lucian A. Kasprzak
received the PhD degree in Solid State Technology from the Materials Science
Department of Stevens Institute of Technology in 1972, while on an IBM Resident Fellowship. He received
a BS in Physics from Stevens in 1965 and an MS in Physics from Syracuse in 1970. He has worked, his entire career, on
reliability of semiconductor devices and ICs: from their inception as discrete
devices to ULSI. He discovered the hot
electron effect in short channel MOSFET devices in 1973 while at IBM, from which he retired in 1995.
The past 14 years, he has been in the medical device industry in various
R&D organizations. He pioneered the
creation of IEEE transactions on Device and Materials Reliability and is on the
Board of Directors of the International Reliability Physics Symposium. Dr. Kasprzak is a Fellow of the IEEE.
All Welcome!
You do not have to be a member of the IEEE to
attend.
Time: 7:00 PM, Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Free buffet will begin at 6:15 PM.

NJ MTT-S/AP-S Chapters:
Antennas &
RF Sensors: Changing the Way We Live (From mobile communications to electronic
textiles and RFIDs)
On December 12, 2009, the IEEE NJ Section MTT/S/AP-S chapters will
host a talk on “Antennas & RF Sensors: Changing the Way We Live (From
mobile communications to electronic textiles and RFIDs)." The speaker will be Dr. John (Yiannis) L.
Volakis.
About the Talk
We already print more transistors than
letters per year [IEEE Spectrum, 2008; www.ieee.org]. But to the average person, a more tangible
technological impact has come from the proliferation of wireless devices that
have changed our way of living, habits and business culture worldwide. Over the next decade, wireless devices and
connectivity are likely to have even more transformational impact on our
everyday life. Key to the wireless
revolution is the implementation of multi-functionality and broadband reception
at high data rates. This was a neglected
area for several years as the industry was focusing on compact low noise
circuits, and low bit error modulation techniques. However, as noted in a recent RF &
Microwaves Magazine (www.mwrf.com) article, nearly 50% of a system-on-chip is
occupied by the Radio Frequency (RF) front-end.
Not surprising, the need for small antennas and RF front ends without
compromising performance has emerged as a key driver in marketing and realizing
next generation devices.
The challenge in miniaturizing the RF front
end was already highlighted by Harold Wheeler, a pioneer of small-size
antennas. He noted that “… [Electrical Engineers]
embraced the new field of wireless and radio, which became a fertile field for
electronics and later the computer age.
But antennas and propagation will always retain their identity, being
immune to miniaturization or digitization.”
However, novel materials, either natural or synthetic (metamaterials) f
and a variety of synthesized anisotropic media are changing the
status-quo. Also, materials such as
modified polymers (friendly to copper) for silicon chip integration, high
conductivity carbon nanofibers and nano-tubes, all coupled in 3D packaging are
providing a new integration paradigm attractive to the IC industry. Certainly, low loss magnetics, such as
multiferroics or synthetic structures emulating magnetic structures, when and
if realized, will provide one of the most transformational design impacts in
the wireless industry.
This presentation will provide an overview of
the upcoming wireless applications and challenges. We will then discuss efforts towards the
realization of novel materials (metamaterials and crystals, carbon nano-tubes,
carbon nano-fibers, body worn devices, printing on polymers, multiferroics,
etc.) for RF miniaturization, including antennas that reach the optimum size
limits.
About the Speaker

Engineers Meet:
IEEE’s
Engineering Career Alternative – Patent Law
On Wednesday, December 9, 2009 the North
Jersey Section Professional Activities Committee, Graduates of the Last Decade
and Women in Engineering will host a meeting to discuss alternative engineering
career paths. Our guest speakers will be
Brian Myers and Stan Tso.
About the
Meeting
Have you ever
wondered what potential career alternatives might lie ahead? Many individuals have entered the field of
patent law after a satisfying career in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. These individuals often become some of the
best patent attorneys and agents, perhaps because they have already developed
superior technical and analytical capabilities while working as an Electrical
and Electronics Engineer.
The two primary speakers, Brian Myers and Stan
Tso, will offer views on patent law as a career alternative for Electrical and
Electronics Engineers. Brian and Stan
will take you through the requirements for becoming a patent agent or attorney
and describe the patent process, including drafting applications and
interacting with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In addition, Brian and Stan will offer a
glimpse of what it might be like to work in a law firm or as an
"in-house" patent agent or attorney.
You are encouraged to attend and invite your
associates.
About the
Speakers
Brian Myers and
Stan Tso both moved to the field of patent law after each having worked as an
engineer for over 14 years. Brian Myers
is a founding partner of the Myers Wolin LLC law firm. Brian holds a MSEE, a BSEET both from
Fairleigh Dickinson University, a EET diploma from DeVry Technical Institute
and a law degree (Juris Doctor) from Seton Hall University. Stan received a BSEE from Cornell University,
an MBA from Duke University and a law degree (Juris Doctor) from Rutgers
University School of Law. Brian and Stan
are both members of the IEEE.

The citation reads as follows.
‘Thomas Alva
Edison, a West Orange resident from 1886 until his death in 1931, established
his final and most comprehensive laboratory and factory complex about one-half
mile (0.8 km) north of here in 1887. Edison's visionary combination in
one organization of basic and applied research, development, and manufacturing
became the prototype for industrial enterprises worldwide. Work here
resulted in more than half of Edison's 1,093 patents.’

Volunteer
Teacher for 11-week apprenticeship with middle school students in Newark
Citizen Schools is a national non-profit
serving low-income middle-school students after school, extending the number of
hours spent in an active learning environment.
A core program element is the project-based student apprenticeship. Each semester,
generous volunteers get trained to become Citizen Teachers who lead these hands-on apprenticeships on a
topic of their choosing, and about which they are both passionate and
knowledgeable. These apprenticeships culminate in a WOW! moment where students
teach back what they learned
via the creation of a high-quality product, service or presentation that
demonstrates their mastery.
We have a renewed focus on
science, technology and engineering and are looking for ways to bring these to
live in an exciting way to our students.
This semester’s offering has ranged from an Arup Consulting Engineering
working with them on structural engineering to the students learning mechanical
engineering principles by creating a dance pad.
We are currently recruiting volunteers for the Spring semester (starting
week of February 8th) to spend 90 minutes a week on either a Tuesday
or Thursday (for 11 weeks) as Citizen Teachers in Newark (NJ) and would be
interested in engaging yourself and/or your organization in the process. To learn more about the program (http://www.youtube.com/profile?v=mx4xeO3Xq7g&user=citizenschoolsonline) , read about past apprenticeships (http://ctnation.citizenschools.net/dotnetnuke/Teach/ThinkIt/ApprenticeshipIdeaBank/tabid/151/Default.aspx)

News from IEEE USA:
Former Presidential Science Adviser to Speak
on Relationship between STEM R&D Funding and Job Growth, Innovation at
IEEE-USA-Sponsored Event
Washington (20 October 2009) - Dr. John
Marburger, who served as science adviser to former President George W. Bush,
will discuss the relationship between money spent on research and development
in the STEM enterprise and job growth and innovation during
his keynote address at George Washington University on Wednesday.
"We need to understand the relation
between inputs like research funding, scholarships, tax incentives and training
programs, and outputs like job creation, productivity and GDP growth," said Marburger, who served as
director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy from
2001-09. "Those high-level outputs
are being measured now, but to evaluate specific policies or programs we need
intermediate measures that can be assessed in the short term to let us know if
we're on the right track, and to get these right, we need better understanding
of the whole innovation system.
"So first we need data, and conceptual
frameworks, then we can choose measures that mean something and collect or
refine data on those measures."
"STEM Enterprise: Measures for Innovation and
Competitiveness" is designed to assess the effectiveness of all federal,
state, private and academic money spent on spent on R&D in the STEM -- science, technology, engineering and math --
enterprise. Work in this area serves as
a driving force for economic and social advancement throughout the world.
The event will be at George Washington's Marvin Center on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. On-site
registration will be taken. For more on
the program and additional speakers, see http://www.ieeeusa.org/calendar/conferences/stem/.
Marburger is a university professor in the
departments of Physics and Electrical Engineering at Stony Brook (N.Y.)
University, where he served as president from 1980-84. His tenure as the president's science advisor
began soon after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and was the longest in
history. Marburger helped to formulate
major policy initiatives associated with the establishment of the Department of
Homeland Security, re-orientation of the nation's space policy following the
2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, the nation's re-entry in the
international nuclear fusion program ITER, and the American Competitiveness
Initiative that sought to double federal funding for the physical sciences and
engineering.
Wednesday's event will also look at the link
between STEM R&D and quality of life in the United States and abroad, a link Marburger says is poorly
understood.
"There is pretty obviously a link
because technology pervades everything we do, but exactly how is a very big
question," he said. "As a
scientist and an educator, I love it when Congress funds more research in
universities -- any research. But as a
policy adviser, I have to ask if we really understand what we're doing when we
fund particular fields and programs at the particular levels that we do. In many cases we’re just responding to, more
or less, random advocacy."
Marburger thinks the U.S. STEM enterprise is so big -- the federal government
alone has an R&D portfolio of $147.3 billion in FY 2009 -- that no single
organization can create unbiased reports and recommendations for policymakers.
"No one entity can provide the
understanding needed for rational policymaking to enhance competitiveness. You need an entire profession doing this all
the time," Marburger said.
"It's not a disadvantage to have multiple sources of reports and
recommendations, especially when our state of knowledge about cause and effect
is so weak. An unbiased report today
would be one that says we don't understand how all this works. There are certainly entities like the
National Academies that produce good, relatively unbiased reports. But broad policy recommendations are nearly
always highly subjective and intuitive.
"The best we can do in the current
environment of ignorance is to assemble groups of experts and ask their
opinion. I would like to see us spend
more on providing better tools for those experts, and on training professionals
who can improve on these intuitive judgments."
