News

I just returned from the Region 2 meeting in Philadelphia. I am proud to report that the Dayton section has the second highest percentage of senior members in all of Region 2! Our Senior Membership Drive Breakfasts are the model that other sections are using to increase senior membership. However, we are estimated to have 300 additional members who are eligible for the senior member upgrade. It isn’t as difficult as you might think! Check out www.ieee.org/organizations/rab/md/smprogram.html for more information. We are only one percentage point behind the Erie section; twenty new senior members could push us into first place. I will be submitting my application this month; I challenge any of you who missed our Breakfast to do the same! - Roger Claypoole

Life Members News

The ranks of Life Members have been swelling in recent years. This is reflective of a natural rise resulting from the continued, long-term growth of the IEEE membership population and ever increasing life spans. To achieve Life Member status, a member needs to be at least 65 years old, and have a combined age and years of IEEE membership equal to or greater than 100 (e.g., 68 years old with 32 years of active membership). Once a member reaches Life member status, their IEEE dues and Regional assessments are waived. This year, however, Life Members are also being required to return their renewal notices in order to keep their membership active. Life Members who do not respond by returning their renewal forms will have their memberships deactivated as of the end of February. Regions, Sections, and Chapters are encouraged to use their newsletters and other communication vehicles to remind their Life Members of this change in policy. This will ensure continued services for this important constituency.

Fellows News

New IEEE Fellow in Dayton
Dr. Brian Michael Kent

US Air Force Research Laboratory Wright-Patterson AFB, OH For leadership in the development and application of radar cross section measurement technologies

Dan Repperger,
Fellow of IEEE, wins American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering fellow award

Daniel Repperger, electronics engineer in the Air Force Research Laboratory Human Effectiveness Directorate here, recently won the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering fellow award for rehabilitation engineering.

The nomination was based on studies involving Air Force technology designed to improve the quality of life for veterans who need assistance with activities of daily living.

Two previous, and one ongoing Department of Veterans Affairs studies, focused on activities such as eating, writing, using a computer, and other tasks most people take for granted. The first VA effort used robotic devices to help people move their hands and arms in a smooth, consistent fashion. People with certain disabilities have difficulty in controlling their arms and legs in performing tasks.

The second VA initiative involved the development of electrical devices called transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation that helped reduce pain in the lower back.

The current VA effort involves a joint study between the University of Pittsburgh and patients at the VA center in Pittsburgh, Pa. Patients suffering from unsteady hand motions are being evaluated so that physicians learn how to reduce this tremor.

New devices — personal digital assistant devices — are being used to record the data for the study. “These devices demonstrate how technology developed within the Air Force can be used in the private sector, especially for improving the quality of lives for Air Force veterans,” said Repperger.

The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering is a nonprofit organization that serves to promote the national interest in science, engineering and education and to recognize individual and group achievements and contributions to the field of medical and biological engineering.

Member-Get-A-Member (MGM)
Student-Get-A-Student (SGS)

When you experience something good, you want to share it with others. It’s the natural thing to do. That’s why IEEE conducts Member-Get-a-Member (MGM) and Student–Get–a-Student (SGS) campaigns. Most members know how beneficial IEEE membership is in their professional lives and what it has meant to their technical and career development. Beginning 1 September 2002 and running through the 2003 IEEE dues year that ends on 15 August 2003, the IEEE will conduct the MGM and SGS campaigns to encourage members to recruit their colleagues or fellow students to become IEEE members. In return for their efforts, a small financial “thank you” will be awarded that can be used as a credit towards 2004 IEEE or Technical Society membership dues or the purchase of IEEE services and products.

Senior Member Program

Senior Member Reference Form

IEEE Personal Email Alias Service with free virus scanning

A members-only benefit, the IEEE email alias service delivers:

Clarity - An IEEE alias is easy to acquire, remember and update online

Constancy - You’re alias stays @ieee.org even when your email address changes

Convergence - You’ll identify yourself to other IEEE members

Connectivity - Email messages are automatically forwarded to your real Internet address

Comfort - Attachments to emails sent to your alias will automatically be scanned for viruses

Free Virus Scanning Our virus-scanning feature helps prevent you from receiving viruses in the first place.

Attachments within your e-mail that are sent to your IEEE email alias will be scanned for viruses. If a virus is found, the attachment will be be deleted. An alert is then sent to both the sender and recipient. While the IEEE cannot guarantee that every virus will be found, the virus scanning software is updated daily with a current virus recognition file.

A service like this typically costs $30 per year, but as an IEEE member, it is yours FREE of charge.
