NJ AESS:
A
Practitioner’s Guide to Leadership
On October 13, 2010, the IEEE NJ Section
Aerospace will host a talk on “A Practitioner’s Guide to Leadership." The speaker will be Dr. Barry L. Shoop.
About
the Talk
Leadership can be defined as the ability of
an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward
the effectiveness and success of the organizations of which they are
members. Leadership is not dependant on
title or formal authority. All too often
we think of leadership as something we will develop and apply later rather than
earlier in our career. This applies to
both leadership within our chosen technical discipline and leadership of our
profession. In the early stages of a
career, most people naturally focus on the technical aspects of their
career. They begin their careers
applying the technical disciplinary knowledge and skills they acquired in
college and focus on those aspects that will ensure promotion, tenure, and
success early in their career. However,
leadership is something that should be considered and fostered early and often
throughout our entire professional career.
This presentation will cover a mixture of
traditional and non-traditional topics associated with leadership. Leadership development, leadership theories, leadership
traits and differences between leaders and managers are subjects traditionally
found in texts on leadership. Team
composition and diversity of opinion, understanding individual and group
dynamics, and meetings are not subjects traditionally found in leadership
texts. The topical diversity is intended
to provide practical insights and applications of leadership theory.
This presentation motivated the IEEE-USA
e-Book: A Practitioner’s Guide to
Leadership published in January 2009 (http://www.ieeeusa.org/communications/ebooks/careers.asp).
About
the Speaker
Barry L. Shoop is Professor of EE and Deputy Head
of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the United
States Military Academy at West Point.
During his seventeen years at West Point, he has served in a number of
leadership positions including Director of the Electrical Engineering Program
and Director of the Photonics Research Center.
Currently he is responsible for an undergraduate academic department
with over 70 faculty and staff supporting ABET accredited programs in
electrical engineering, computer science, and information technology. He received the BS from the Pennsylvania
State University in 1980, MS from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in 1986,
and PhD from Stanford University in 1992, all in electrical engineering. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, a Fellow
of both the Optical Society of America and the International Society for Optical
Engineering, and a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Sigma Xi. Professor Shoop has been active in the IEEE,
serving as the Chair of the Mid-Hudson Section, Director of Region 1, IEEE
Secretary and member of the IEEE Board of Directors from 2006 – 2010. He currently serves as the 2010 IEEE Vice
President Member and Geographic Activities.

NJ Communications Society:
Stochastic Routing for Delay Tolerant
Networks
On November
29, 2010,
the IEEE NJ Communications Society Chapter will host a presentation titled
“Stochastic Routing for Delay Tolerant Networks.” The speaker will be Professor Zygmunt J.
Haas.
About the Talk
In this talk, Professor Haas will discuss selected
research results in the area of Stochastic Routing. Professor Haas will concentrate on the use of
Stochastic Routing as it applies to Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks
(DTNs). DTNs are useful for applications
with lenient requirements on message latency and Stochastic Routing is especially
well suited for mobile DTNs. Professor
Haas will compare some of the Stochastic Routing schemes and discuss a number
of potential applications.
Gossiping, an example of Stochastic Routing, is a
technique where each node resends the received message with some
probability. In fact, flooding is a
limiting case of Gossiping where the retransmission probability equals 1. Numerous variants of Gossiping have been
proposed and optimized to implement efficient broadcasting, multicasting, and
anycasting.
Epidemic Routing, another example of a Stochastic
Routing scheme, has been proposed as a routing protocol for DTNs. Unrestricted Epidemic Routing results in shortest packet delivery time and high
packet delivery probability at the destination nodes. However, this comes at the cost of excessive
number of packet copies in the network, which leads to wasteful energy
consumption at the nodes. Professor Haas
will introduce and present the performance of several schemes which, in
different ways, restrict the Epidemic Routing in the number of generated packet
copies. The schemes are compared in
regards to the tradeoff between energy consumption and delivery delay, while
maintaining fixed delivery rate.
Another drawback of Epidemic Routing is that the
energy consumption is unequal at the different network nodes. Consequently, the system’s lifetime is
reduced. I will discuss several of our
approaches to extend the system lifetime of Epidemic Routing.
About the Speaker
Professor Zygmunt J. Haas received his PhD in 1988
from Stanford University, at which time he joined the AT&T Bell Laboratories pursuing
research in wireless communications, mobility management, fast protocols,
optical networks, and optical switching.
In 1995, he joined the faculty of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. He heads the Wireless Network
Laboratory (wnl.ece.cornell.edu), a research group with extensive contributions
in the area of Ad Hoc Networks and Sensor Networks. Recently, he has been serving as an NSF
Program Director in the Engineering Directorate.
Dr. Haas is a Fellow of the IEEE and an author of
over 200 technical conference and journal papers. He holds eighteen patents in the areas of wireless networks and wireless communications,
optical switching, optical networks, and high-speed networking protocols. He has organized numerous workshops, chaired
and co-chaired several key conferences
in the communications and networking areas, and delivered many tutorials at
major IEEE and ACM conferences. His
interests include: mobile and wireless
communication and networks, modeling and performance evaluation of large and
complex systems, and biologically-inspired networks.

NJ Consultants’ Network:
What’s the big
deal about Xilinx?
The October 27, 2010, meeting of the IEEE Consultants' Network of
Northern NJ features a presentation titled “What’s the big deal about
Xilinx?” The speaker will be Ed McCauley
of Bottom Line Technologies.
About
the Talk
Xilinx is one of those brand names that are
instantly meaningful to those few of us who are familiar with their products –
but to most, it’s just a vague keyword.
It should not be so. Xilinx, now a $3B company, invented FPGAs in
1995. FPGAs (Field Programmable Integrated
Circuits) are end-user customizable digital integrated circuits used in a wide
variety of applications including Communications Systems, Video, Signal
Acquisition, Signal Processing and Embedded Processing.
Join us with Ed McCauley, one of Xilinx’s original
employees, for a discussion of Xilinx’s silicon, software, and design
methodologies. Ed is president of Bottom
Line Technologies, Xilinx’s exclusive regional training partner and founder of
Xilinx’s 3rd party consultant program.
Our presentation is not a design course – it
aims to acquaint the participants with the company and its unique product.
About
the Speaker
For well over 20 years, Ed McCauley has been President of Bottom Line
Technologies Inc. (BLT), which provides design services, as well as training in the areas of design,
technical sales and management.
Ed is primarily responsible for Marketing, Sales, and Finance at BLT
although his engineering and project management skills are often called upon to
fulfill client needs.
Ed started his career as part of the startup team at Datatel Inc., a Cherry
Hill, NJ
based data communications company. He
designed and managed dozens of products as the company grew from the basement
to over 300 people and an acquisition.
After seven years gaining engineering, project management, and
production experience, Ed expanded into marketing and sales by joining start-up
"Xilinx" as FAE covering the northeastern US. He went on to manage technical sales and
technical management of all Reps and Distributors in his territory. Ed left Xilinx in 1989 after Xilinx's IPO to
start BLT.
After helping Xilinx create their Xpert design services division, Ed
led BLT from
its focus on Xilinx to a broad based design services organization. Today, BLT combines the latest technologies with
specialization in a variety of services to offer commercial and mil/gov clients
the most reliable, expedient and economical path to market.
Ed is an alumnus of The U.S. Naval Academy, Rutgers and Drexel Universities, a
long-time member of CNNNJ, and can be contacted at (888) XILINX1 or via email:

NJ Control Systems Chapter:
Development of
a Gait Rehabilitation System
On November 18, 2010, the IEEE NJ Control
Systems Chapter will host a presentation titled “Development of a Gait
Rehabilitation System.” The speaker will
be Dr. Zhiming Ji.
About the Talk
The majority of
movement problems caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or aging, require
specialized therapies to improve limb functioning. Movement therapy for lower limbs face more
challenges than that for upper limbs, because of the critical roles played by
the low limbs during standing and walking.
Currently, the rehabilitation of walking involves the use of braces or
body weight supported treadmill training.
Lower extremity braces available today cannot provide the patient the
experience of typical movement patterns.
Body weight supported treadmill training conducted manually by
therapists is very time intensive and costly.
A gait training system based on a pair of identical gait generation and
mechanical timing mechanism currently under development will be presented. Due to its closed-loop kinematics and low
degree of freedom, this system is much safer to use and allows simpler
operation, which helps to increase the duration of training at low cost. With active and passive modes in various actuation
schemes, it could enhance gait retraining and orthotic intervention in stroke
and other patients in the home and community settings.
About the Speaker
Dr. Zhiming Ji is an Associate Professor in the
Department of Mechanical and Industrial
Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He received his BS degree from the
Northeastern University, MS degree from the Southeast University and PhD degree from the Stanford University. Dr. Ji’s research interests cover many
aspects of Mechanical Design and System Integration.
Time: 6:30 – 8:00 PM, Thursday,

NJ EDS/C&S:
Advantages of Micro-inverters in AC PV
Systems: Introduction to Petra Solar’s SunWave Technology
On October 27, 2010, the IEEE NJ Section
Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems Chapters together with the New Jersey
Institute of Technology will host a talk on “Advantages of Micro-inverters in
AC PV Systems: Introduction to Petra
Solar’s SunWave Technology." The speaker will be Dr. Hussam Alatrash,
co-founder of Petra Solar.
About the Talk
As the world faces the economic,
environmental, and political consequences of its heavy dependence on fossil
fuels for energy, the search for a suitable alternative only grows more
intense. The collection of solar energy
through photovoltaic (PV) cells is a particularly promising technology. Sunshine is an abundant resource, while PV
technology is clean, quiet, and suitable for distributed installations near
points of load.
The vast growth of distributed photovoltaic
(PV) generation systems has led to new trends in integrated PV systems. The AC PV module is one of these trends where
a PV panel and a micro‐inverter are integrated into a single AC PV
source. This reduces installation
complexity and provides for a true plug‐n‐play PV system.
This seminar will introduce the system architecture and design

NJ EDS/C&S:
Photocurrent and Noise Analysis as
Alternative Approaches to Understanding OFET Behavior
On November 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 “Photocurrent and
Noise Analysis as Alternative Approaches to Understanding OFET Behavior."
The speaker will be Professor John Kymissis of Columbia University.
About the Talk
The characterization of organic field effect
transistors is complicated by the influence of the contacts on channel behavior
and the trap limited conduction mechanism which governs device performance.
In this presentation, several strategies for
probing OFETs will be discussed. In
particular, the use of spectrally resolved photocurrent spectroscopy will be
demonstrated as a strategy for the analysis of trap states in the device, spatially
resolved photocurrent will be presented as an approach for measuring internal
device potential, and noise spectroscopy will be presented as an approach to
evaluating the effect of trap states on channel conduction. These probes provide additional pathways for
analyzing OFET device and material behavior with different complicating
parasitics than incumbent characterization approaches.
About the Speaker
Ioannis (John) Kymissis graduated with his BS,
MEng., and PhD degrees from MIT. His
MEng thesis was done as a co-op at the IBM TJ Watson Research Lab
on organic thin film transistors, and his PhD was in the Microsystems
Technology Lab at MIT working on field emission displays. After graduation he spent three years as a
post-doc in MIT's Laboratory for Organic Optics and Electronics working on a
variety of organic electronic devices and as a consulting engineer for
QDVision, which is developing and commercializing a novel light emitting

NJ MTT/AP:
Inkjet-Printed Paper/Polymer-Based
"Green" RFID and Wireless Sensor Nodes: The Final Step to Bridge Cognitive
Intelligence, Nanotechnology and RF?
On October 27, 2010, the
IEEE NJ MTT/AP Chapters will host a talk on “Inkjet-Printed Paper/Polymer-Based
"Green" RFID and Wireless Sensor Nodes: The Final Step to Bridge Cognitive
Intelligence, Nanotechnology and RF?"
The speaker will be Professor Manos Tentzeris.
About
the Talk
In this talk, inkjet-printed flexible
antennas, RF electronics and sensors fabricated on paper and other polymer
(e.g.LCP) substrates are introduced as a system-level solution
for ultra-low-cost mass production of UHF Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Tags and Wireless Sensor Nodes (WSN) in an approach that could be easily
extended to other microwave and wireless applications. The talk will cover examples from UHF up to
the millimeter-wave frequency ranges.
A compact inkjet-printed UHF
"passive-RFID" antenna using the classic T-match approach and
designed to match IC's complex impedance, is presented as a the first
demonstrating prototype for this technology.
Then, Professor Tentzeris will briefly touch up the state-of-the-art
area of fully-integrated wireless sensor modules on paper or flexible LCP and show
the first ever 2D sensor integration with an RFID tag module on paper, as well
as numerous 3D multilayer paper-based and LCP-based RF/microwave structures, that could potentially
set the foundation for the truly convergent wireless sensor ad-hoc networks of
the future with enhanced cognitive intelligence and "rugged"
packaging.
Professor Tentzeris will discuss issues
concerning the power sources of "near-perpetual" RF modules,
including flexible minaturized batteries as well as power-scavenging approaches
involving thermal, EM, vibration and solar energy forms.
The final step of the presentation will
involve examples from wearable (e.g. biomonitoring) antennas and RF modules, as
well as the first examples of the integration of inkjet-printed
nanotechnology-based (e.g.CNT) sensors
on paper and organic substrates. It has
to be noted that the talk will review and present challenges for inkjet-printed
organic active and nonlinear devices as
well as future directions in the area of environmentally-friendly
("green") RF electronics and "smart-skin' conformal sensors.

Taming Light and Electrons with Metamaterials
On October 21,
2010, the North Jersey Section Photonics Society will host a talk titled
“Taming Light and Electrons with Metamaterials.” The speaker will be Dr. Nader
Engheta.
About the Talk
Imagine lumped circuit
elements that could work with light at the nanoscale instead of electrons! What could you do with such optical
nanocircuits? Would you be able to use them in wireless gadgets at nanoscales
that may connect our nanoworlds? May these tiny optical nanocircuits be coupled
with biological entities and thus provide hybrid sensors in the future? The
fields of metamaterials and nanooptics may provide road maps for such
futuristic nanocircuits, nanosystems and devices. In my group, we have been developing and
investigating some of the fundamental concepts and theories, and key principles
of such metamaterial nanostructures, devices, and nanocircuits. When we combine the two phenomena of
extreme-parameter metamaterials with the fields of nanooptics and nanoelectronics,
various interesting possibilities may arise.
Optical nanocircuitry is one of the several outcomes of such combination
of these fields. These optical
nanocircuit elements and components may be envisioned as a tapestry of
nanostructures of sizes much smaller than the wavelengths of light. This field, for which I use the term
metatronics, addresses metamaterial-inspired optical nanocircuits and
nanosystems (N. Engheta, Physics World, 23(9), 31, 2010; N. Engheta, Science,
317, 1698-1702, 2007). In my group, a
variety of ideas and paradigms for nanocircuit functions, optical antennas and
sensors for beam shaping and photonic wireless at the nanoscale, graphene
circuitry at IR wavelengths, control of one-way flow of photons and electrons
in desired directions, nanospectrometer for molecular spectroscopy, nanotagging
and barcodes based on these optical circuits are being studied. In this talk, I will give a sample of some of
these studies in my group, present insights into these findings, and forecast
future ideas and road maps in these areas.
About the Speaker

Steganography and Steganalysis: Fundamentals, and Some New Developments
On October 5, 2010,
the NJ Signal Processing Society will be hosting a lecture at NJIT on
“Steganography and Steganalysis:
Fundamentals, and Some New Developments”. The speaker will be Lifang Yu.
About the Talk
Steganography is
the science and art of hiding messages in such a way that no one, apart from
the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the secrete
communication. Hence it is a form of
security through obscurity, which is rather different from cryptography which
does not hide existence of secrete message.
Steganalysis is the science and art of detecting the existence of
secrete message. Unlike cryptanalysis,
where it is obvious that intercepted data contains a message (though that
message is encrypted), steganalysis generally starts with a pile of suspect
data files, but little information about which of the files, if any, contain a
secret message. Multimedia files are
popularly used for digital steganography because of their large size and
popular utilization in our daily life.
In this talk, the
fundamentals of steganography and steganalysis are first introduced. Afterwards, some typical algorithms of
steganography and steganalysis are described.
Finally, some new developments and future research are discussed.
About the Speaker
Ms. Lifang Yu
received the BS degree from the Department of Computer Information and
Technology, Beijing Jiaotong University, China in 2006. Since then, she has been a PhD student and
candidate in Beijing Jiaotong University majoring in Signal and Information
Processing. In October 2009, she started
her one-year visit at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Her research interests are in steganography
and steganalysis, forensic, watermarking, and pattern recognition. She has six published works in conference and
journals.
Time: 10:30 AM, Tuesday,

Efficient Data Hiding with Multi-layer
Construction
On October
28, 2010, the NJ Signal Processing Society will be hosting a lecture at NJIT
titled “Efficient Data Hiding with Multi-layer Construction.” The speaker will be Professor Xinpeng Zhang.
About the Talk
A data-hider always hopes to lower the distortion
caused by data hiding or to maximize the embedded payload with a given
distortion level, in other words, to achieve a good “rate-distortion”
performance. This talk will introduce several recent efficient data-hiding
schemes based on multi-layer construction. Firstly, by exploiting Wet Paper
codes and Hamming codes, a family of data-hiding methods can be derived from an
existing binary embedding method. If the binary embedding method is near
optimal, the performance of the derived methods will still stay rather close to
the performance bound of binary embedding with arbitrarily small embedding
rates. Secondly, after performing the binary embedding in LSB of cover samples,
we can embed some additional secret data into the second LSB by increasing or
decreasing the cover samples by one. When the performance of the binary
embedding method in LSB achieves the performance limit, the performance of the
double-layered scheme can also achieve the upper bound of 1 embedding. Thirdly,
if the allowable modification range on cover samples is [2, +2], the LSB,
second LSB and third LSB of cover samples can be controlled to carry the secret
data by using a triple-layered construction. It is also shown the
rate-distortion performance of the triple-layered method approaches the
theoretical limit of 2 embedding.
About the Speaker
Dr. Xinpeng Zhang received the BS degree in
computational mathematics from Jilin University, China, in 1995, and the ME and PhD degrees in communication and information
system from Shanghai University, China, in 2001 and 2004, respectively. Since 2004, he has been with the
faculty of the School of Communication and Information Engineering, Shanghai University, where he is currently a Professor. Now, he is also with New York State University at Binghamton as a visiting scholar. His research interests include multimedia
security, image processing and digital forensics. He has published more than
150 papers in these areas.

English Free
Choice Items: ‘Any’ and ‘Wh+ever’
On November 17, 2010, the NJ Signal
Processing Society will be hosting a lecture at NJIT titled “English Free
Choice Items: ‘Any’ and ‘Wh+ever’”. The speaker will be Professor Veneeta Dayal.
About the Talk
The distribution
and behavior of ‘any’ and ‘wh+ever’ in positive contexts have several
interesting properties, independently and in relation to each other. In generic/characterizing statements like
(1a)-(1b) they are virtually synonymous, suggesting a kind of indiscriminate
reading on Bill’s part. In episodic
contexts, however, they part company: ‘any’ is unacceptable (1a) while
‘wh+ever’ is acceptable (1b), under a reading where the identity of the
individual books is unknown or irrelevant.
‘Any’ is generally thought to be licensed by modality, but this is
clearly not sufficient, as shown by differences between possibility and
necessity modals in (3). Finally, ‘any’
in episodic and necessity modal contexts can be redeemed by the presence of a
modifier (4a)-(4b). To return to a
comparison with ‘wh+ever’, (5a)-(5b) show that they relate differently to prior
discourse – ‘wh+ever’ but not ‘any’ is comfortable in anaphoric contexts:
1a. Bill
reads anything he buys.
b. Bill reads whatever he buys.
2a. *
Bill read any books.
b. Bill read whichever books he’d bought.
3a. Bill
can read any of these books.
b. *Bill must read any of these books.
4a. Bill
read any books that were lying around.
b. Bill must read any books that the teacher
recommends.
5a. Bill
bought some things. Sue liked whatever
he bought.
b. Bill bought some things. ??Sue liked anything he bought.
In this talk Professor Dayal will propose a way to account for the empirical
generalizations illustrated above.
About the Speaker

with the Department of Linguistics at Rutgers University. Her research interests are in the areas of
semantic theory, syntax-semantics interface, south Asian linguistics. Further details about her can be found at http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~dayal/

different from year's past with a newly expanded agenda for the December
executive committee meeting. In addition
to the normal election result announcements, this year a number of key topics
have been added in response to member requests.
A number of section IEEE
members and non-members have been inquiring how they can become more informed
about and involved with the section and different IEEE activities being held
throughout the year. Some from just
increased attendance and others from increased active participation and
volunteering for different activities and events.
Also, many members have
inquired how they can apply for a senior-member grade elevation and go about
obtaining required references for their senior member application.
With the membership
interests in mind, the end of the year executive committee meeting will have
its agenda changed to hold an information session on the Senior Membership
grade elevation process and an opportunity to interact with current senior
members to find that last missing reference match for those seeking senior
membership with an active application in process. If you have not started your senior
membership application yet, start now and have your references completed by the
end of the year.
All section members are
invited to attend, especially those who are current senior members and are
willing to serve as references, those interested in learning how to stay better
informed of section and area wide IEEE activities that are occurring. For those interested in becoming more active
in general IEEE activities, volunteering, or those seeking senior membership.
The
event will be held on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 6-9PM at a final location to be
determined. Stay tuned to the newsletter
and website for additional information about registering for this event.
