NJ Consultants' Network:
Develop More Products Without More Resources
On
Thursday, January 31, 2008, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ is
pleased to present ”Develop More Products Without More Resources”, by Donald A.
Borcherding.
About the Talk
Development
teams are challenged to develop more products, in shorter timeframes with the
same or fewer resources. As we all know, this is a difficult challenge and, if
not properly addressed, will create a fast paced, dynamic and often chaotic and
frustrating environment.
A
new solution is emerging which looks at how well the organization’s approach
stacks up against the challenges of their development environment and
introduces a new term called Product Focus.
Product
Focus is the idea that organizations tend to exhibit a consistent behavior when
planning and executing projects and as you would expect, organizations are most
effective when their Product Focus matches their Development Environment.
All
attendees will have an opportunity to complete a survey to identify your
organization’s Product Focus. An overview on how to interpret your Product
Focus will be provided along with methods and practices to shift and change
your focus to better match the environment.
Recently
compiled industry results will be used to characterize different size companies
and identify which companies are most likely to use consultants and
contractors.
About the Speaker
Donald
A. Borcherding has a BSEE from the University of Missouri at Rolla and over 20
years experience in new product development. He has successfully optimized
Systems, Software, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering performance in the
Medical Device, Semiconductor, Defense, Marine and Broadcast Video industries
in both small and medium size organizations.
Don
founded NexSummit, LLC to help organizations reduce development cost and
improve time to market. His primary focus has been to understand an
organization’s Product Focus versus their Development Environment to make
improvements that provide the greatest benefit.
About the Consultants’ Network
Founded in 1992, the IEEE Consultants Network of
Northern NJ encourages and promotes the use of independent technical
consultants by business and industry.
All Welcome!
Everyone welcome. No registration needed. Free admission. Refreshments and pastries will be available
during the course of the evening. As
always during the year-end workshops, there will be no pre-meeting dinner for
members

NJ EDS/C&S Chapters:
Automated Design of Microfluidics-Based Biochips: Connecting Biochemistry to Electronics CAD
On
February 20, 2008, the IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems
Chapters together with the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk
on “Automated Design of Microfluidics-Based Biochips: Connecting Biochemistry to Electronics
CAD." The speaker will be Professor
Krishnendu Chakrabarty.
About
the Talk
Microfluidic
biochips are revolutionizing laboratory procedures for high-throughput DNA
sequencing, protein crystallization, drug discovery, immunoassays, etc. As these biochips mature into multifunctional
devices with reconfiguration capabilities, automated design and ease of use
become extremely important. There is a
need to deliver the same level of computer-aided design (CAD) support that the
semiconductor industry now takes for granted.
These CAD tools will allow designers and users to harness the new
technology that is rapidly emerging for integrated biofluidics.
This
talk will present ongoing work on design techniques for microfluidic
biochips. First, the speaker will
provide an overview of electrowetting-based digital microfluidics. Next, the speaker will describe synthesis
tools that can map behavioral descriptions to a droplet-based microfluidic
device and generate an optimized schedule of bioassay operations, the binding of
assay operations to functional units, as well as the layout and droplet
flow-paths for the biochip. Techniques
for pin-constrained chip design, fault detection, and dynamic reconfiguration
will also be presented. An automated
design flow allows the biochip user to concentrate on the development of nano-
and micro-scale bioassays, leaving implementation details to design automation
tools.

How Light Emerges from an Illuminated Array of Sub-Wavelength Apertures
On
About
the Talk
Surface
plasmons are electromagnetic surface waves that propagate at the interface
between a metal and a dielectric by the collective motion of electrons. Unlike most guided modes, the electric fields
associated with surface plasmon modes are evanescent, and decay exponentially
with distance from the interface. When
excited by an optical field in a metal film they can travel quite long
distances along the metal's surfaces.
They also can turn back into a freely propagating optical wave when they
are scattered by periodic array of holes or grooves. Recent works on extraordinary optical
transmission and light beaming in sub-wavelength periodically structured metal
films suggest a direction for fabricating optical devices that operate below
the diffraction limit and utilize the coherent fluctuations of surface
plasmons. Significant advances in this
area may be possible if surface plasmons can be controllably converted to and
from free-space photons, and if their surface propagation can be intentionally
directed in two dimensions (2D). We
demonstrate that surface plasmons can form coherent modes whose intensity and
2D propagation direction can be manipulated by varying the wavelength,
incidence angle, and polarization of the excitation light. We also demonstrate the reverse conversion of
surface plasmons back into light and observe directional beaming.

North Jersey SMC Society:
A Small-Gain Methodology for Robust Nonlinear Control
On
Thursday, January 31, 2008, the NJ Systems, Man & Cybernetics (SMC) Chapter
will be hosting a seminar at NJIT on the topic noted above. Dr. Z.P. Jiang, a professor at the
Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, New York, will be the presenter.
About
the Talk
Small-gain
theorems are one of the fundamental tools for the analysis and control of
complex interconnected dynamical systems.
In this talk, a nonlinear small-gain theorem and its Lyapunov version
will be presented for general nonlinear interconnected systems. Firstly, it is shown how these nonlinear
small-gain theorems generalize the classical small-gain theorems, and are
powerful tools for testing global stability properties in complex
interconnected systems. Secondly, a new
control method based on the nonlinear small-gain theorems and techniques will
be presented for unifying earlier solutions to the robust nonlinear control
problem. If time permits, some recent
work on the extension of the nonlinear small-gain theorem for general
large-scale complex systems will be briefly described.
About
the Speaker

Former IEEE-USA President Highlights IEEE-USA Innovation Institute at IEEE Globecom 2007
Washington (30 November 2007) - Former IEEE-USA President Ralph W.
Wyndrum highlighted the IEEE-USA Innovation Institute during a panel session on
entrepreneurship at IEEE Globecom 2007 on Wednesday.
Wyndrum, who served as IEEE-USA president in 2006 and is now president
of the IEEE-USA Innovation Institute, told attendees that “innovation is
everything from invention to the final sale.”
The seven-person panel, sponsored by IEEE GOLD (Graduates of the Last
Decade), was designed to help graduate students and young professionals learn
about what skills and techniques are key to the successful commercialization of
research ideas.
Wyndrum’s presentation included information on the pilot Innovation
Forum that IEEE-USA hosted in Falls Church, Va., on 6-8 November. Twenty-two
people from organizations such as NASA, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, the FCC and
the Office of Naval Research, participated in the event. Attendees had the
opportunity to earn either 1.5 CEUs or 10 PDHs.
Wyndrum revealed that three Innovation Forums will be held around the
country in 2008, six in 2009. The forums are designed to promote the innovation
process, highlight new technologies and trends, and help high-tech
professionals improve their innovation skills. The faculty is composed of
successful technology innovators.
The IEEE-USA Innovation Institute offer programs designed to advance the
preparation of leaders responsible for the innovation of new products and
services by sharing the experiences of successful innovators in a coordinated
program of interaction, teaching, mentoring and networking.
Other key aspects of the Innovation Institute (http://www.innovation-institute.org/)
include an online community; a clearinghouse of additional resources; e-books;
and eventually, a national conference.
Innovators can also benefit from the
