NJ Consultants' Network:
Hitting Bottom is the Best Thing that Can
Happen to You – But I Wouldn’t Wish It on Anyone
On Thursday, June 25, 2009, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern
NJ (www.TechnologyOnTap.org)
will be holding its monthly meeting, beginning at a new time: 6pm. We will
feature a talk by Randi Altschul about her exciting approach to new product
development.
About
the Topic
Randi Altschul offers unorthodox views on new product development –
something of great interest to independent engineering practitioners. She spoke to the Consultants’ Network in the
past; this presentation is a follow-up to her well-received talk on
entrepreneurship in 2000. In her own
words:
“Over the past few years my life has been a roller coaster ride from
which I have emerged better than I ever was before. Smarter, Stronger, More Energized than I’d
ever thought possible. During this time
I lost everything I owned and the two people I loved more than anything, but
all in all I wouldn’t change a thing because I’m in a really good place, I own
several new companies and am developing groundbreaking product for industries I
never thought I’d enter. Conceive it,
Believe it, Achieve it! And never let them get you down.
“Our discussion will take you through the creation and development of
incredible products to the pitfalls along the way and the realization that they
can take everything away but as long as you have your brain and your reputation
you can make miracles happen.”
About
the Speaker
Randice-Lisa Altschul is an inventor of new products and author of
books and intellectual properties. She
created the disposable cell phone, the credit card phone, the programmable
debit card, the paper laptop, and other new products and properties which range

NJ EDS/C&S:
Polymer Based Sensor Systems for Healthcare
& Homeland Security
On June 8, 2009, the
IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems Chapters together with
the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk on "Polymer Based
Sensor Systems for Healthcare & Homeland Security." The speaker will be EDS Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. V. Ramgopal Rao,
Professor, EE Department, IIT Bombay.
About the Talk
Micro fabricated sensors based on the
detection of nanomechanical motion are known to be promising for biochemical
sensing. The use of conventional silicon
based materials to fabricate microcantilevers results in a lower sensitivity
and higher cost for the sensor depending on the Young’s modulus of the
structural material, the geometrical dimensions, as well as the process
complexity. UV patternable polymer
materials such as SU-8 have a very low Young’s modulus compared to the silicon
(Si) based materials, are cheaper, and show excellent promise as structural layers. In this talk, we discuss the progress made at
IIT Bombay towards the development of a SU-8
microcantilever platform for sensing applications. The three approaches, namely the optical,
piezo-resistive (with polysilicon films as well as with conductive
nanoparticles dispersed in an epoxy matrix) and piezo-electric (based on a
novel multi-ferroic material synthesized at IIT Bombay)
based read out schemes are implemented using a polymeric cantilever platform
and show excellent promise. We
demonstrate practical applications involving these novel cantilever platforms
for cardiac diagnostics & explosive detection.
About the Speaker

NBTI in
p-MOSFETs: Characterization, Modeling
and Material Dependence
On June 18, 2009, the IEEE NJ Section
Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems Chapters together with the New Jersey
Institute of Technology will host a talk on “NBTI in p-MOSFETs:
Characterization, Modeling and Material Dependence." The speaker will be Distinguished Lecturer,
Dr. Souvik Mohapatra.
About the Talk
Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI),
causing shifts in device parameters such as drain current and threshold
voltage, is a serious reliability concern for p-MOSFETs. Though identified more than 40 years ago,
NBTI has become the most severe front end reliability issue only recently, as
gate oxide thickness is scaled below 2nm, and Nitrogen is incorporated into the
gate oxide to prevent Boron penetration and leakage. Besides Si oxynitride/poly-Si devices, NBTI
is also a serious concern for high-k/metal gate devices as well.
Like other reliability issues (like HCI),
device lifetime under NBTI is determined by accelerated stress tests done at
short time, and extrapolating the degradation under operating condition to end
of life. It is very important to choose
proper stress condition such that defects responsible for NBTI are only
accelerated and no new defects are formed.
As NBTI degradation recovers (unlike HCI) after stress is turned off for
measurement, conventional stress-measure-stress methods give erroneous results,
and fast methods must be implemented. It
is important to understand and model NBTI physical mechanism, so that proper
physics-based models can be developed for reliable determination of device
lifetime. It is also important to
understand the process / material dependence of NBTI to develop robust, NBTI
safe gate insulators that meet other (leakage, mobility) requirements. The talk will address some of these issues.
About the Speaker
Souvik Mahapatra received his PhD in Electrical
Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB), India in
1999. From 2000 to 2001 he was at Bell
Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, Murray Hill, NJ. From 2002 he is with the Department of Electrical
Engineering, IITB, where he is presently a Professor. He is also an Adjunct Professor of ECE
Department at Purdue University. His
research interests are electrical characterization of defects in
dielectric-semiconductor interfaces; hot-carrier and bias temperature
instability in CMOS devices; high-k and
novel dielectrics for CMOS; and Flash EEPROMs. He has
published more than 85 papers in refereed international journals and
conferences, was invited to speak at several major international conferences
including the IEDM, was a tutorial presenter at IRPS and has worked as a
reviewer for many international journals and conferences. Dr. Mahapatra is an IEEE Electron Device
Society Distinguished Lecturer.

NJ EDS/C&S:
Nanowire Biosensors
On September 17, 2009, the IEEE NJ Section
Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems Chapters together with the New Jersey
Institute of Technology will host a talk on “Nanowire Biosensors." The speaker will be Distinguished Lecturer,
Professor Mark A. Reed.
About the Talk
Nanoscale electronic devices have the
potential to achieve exquisite sensitivity as sensors for the direct detection
of molecular interactions, thereby decreasing diagnostics costs and enabling
previously impossible sensing in disparate field environments. Semiconducting nanowire-field effect
transistors (NW-FETs) hold particular promise, though contemporary NW
approaches are inadequate for realistic applications. We present here a novel approach using
complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)
technology that has not only achieved unprecedented sensitivity, but
simultaneously facilitates system-scale integration of nanosensors for the
first time. This approach enables a wide
range of label-free biochemical and macromolecule sensing applications,
including cell type discrimination through the monitoring of live,
stimulus-induced cellular response, and specific protein and complementary DNA recognition assays.
An important achievement is the introduction of real-time, unlabeled
detection capability, allowing for fundamental studies of cellular activation,
and specific macromolecule interactions at
femtomolar concentrations.
Important aspects of microfluidic integration and Debye screening will
be discussed, along with the demonstration of live cell peptide-specific
immunoresponse.
About the Speaker
Professor Mark A.
Reed received his PhD in Physics from Syracuse University in 1983, after which
he joined Texas Instruments. In 1990
Mark joined Yale University where he holds the Harold Hodgkinson Chair of
Engineering and Applied Science, and is the Associate Director of the Yale
Institute for Nanoscience and Quantum Engineering. His research activities have included the
investigation of electronic transport in nanoscale and mesoscopic systems,

NJ Section:
Systems Engineering in Japan:
State-of-the-Art
On June 17, 2009,
the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Liberty Chapter, the
IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society, and the North Jersey Section
will host a meeting on “Systems Engineering in Japan: State-of-the-Art.” The speaker will be Prof. Yoshiaki (Yoshi)
Ohkami.
About the
Meeting
Systems Engineering
(SE) in Japan in its current form is gradually getting known. Keio University’s program is the first of its kind and is drawing much attention from
industries such as IT Consulting, Space, Retail, Financial Services, Consumer
Electronics etc. Japanese industry is in
a unique position to adopt SE considering that it has such a rich history of
concurrent design and engineering, and quality control. Prof. Ohkami will share with the audience the
concurrent design and engineering, and quality control in Japan as the background of SE
efforts. He will discuss the challenges
and issues of spreading the message of SE in Japan, and success and lessons learned.
He will also address the difference in SE approaches and its application
between the US and Japan and how the role of SE is viewed by the Japanese industry in
maintaining product quality lead in the world.

this workshop concentrates on distributed parallelism (MPI); in addition,
shared memory parallelism (OpenMP), instruction level parallelism, Graphics
Processing Unit parallelism and hybrid shared/distributed parallelism are also
explored.
Participants
will learn about developing, debugging, profiling and tuning of parallel
applications across a variety of architectures, using tools from a variety of
sources, including GNU, Intel, TotalView, and the Bootable Cluster CD. The material is designed for undergraduate
faculty from a variety of disciplines who would like to add parallel computing
to their undergraduate teaching and research.
In addition, undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to
attend alongside a sponsoring faculty member.
The workshop is hands-on, with exercises in both programming and
curriculum development.
The
workshop will be *FREE*
(except you have to pay your own transportation costs to and from Kean University) and we'll feed you and house you at no charge.
The
workshop will require a $150 FULLY REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT. To get the refund, you'll need to attend the
workshop EVERY DAY,
and submit the daily surveys as well as the pre-survey and the post-survey. The deposit is not required until you are
