General InterestChairman's ColumnEach
year National Instruments host Texas Day at NIWEEK.
This one-day engineering and networking event is on Tuesday, August 7,
beginning at 8:00 AM at the Austin Convention Center. The IEEE Central
Texas Section is a sponsor this year of the Texas Day invitation-only
luncheon featuring a guest speaker as well as a Tour of Texas,
highlighting success stories across the state. Seats are limited, so
reserve your spot today. When registering as a first-time NIWeek
attendee, use the code "TxDayNew" for complimentary admission.
As you probably know, IEEE was founded on January 1, 1963, through the merger of the AIEE (founded 1884) and IRE (founded 1912). So 2012 is IEEE's 50th year and IEEE is celebrating it modestly, focusing primarily on honoring those members who have been with us continuously since the beginning. There are about 9400 of them. They have received a pin identifying them as a "Member 1st 50 Years". The Central Texas Section is proud to recognize these loyal members and we encourage everyone to congratulate them as we do. Click here for the list of 50 Year Members of the Central Texas Section. Kenny Rice Back to TOP Membership DevelopmentIEEE

tutorial introduces the requirements and design techniques of ultra low
power (ULP) analog CMOS integrated circuits, based on the framework of
its application to implantable medical devices. The talk has three
parts. In the first part, the main characteristics and needs of
implantable medical devices, particularly from the point of view of the
analog circuit designer, are presented. The second part presents the
field of ULP analog CMOS design by considering the aspects of device
modeling, circuit design techniques and architectures. Finally, the
last part, discusses perspectives in the fields of ULP analog CMOS and
implantable medical devices. |

Abstract |
VCO-based quantizers take advantage of the steadily
increasing speed of modern CMOS processes by quantizing time rather
than amplitude. Their implementation leads to highly digital
architectures that benefit directly from Moore's law, and offer
intriguing benefits such as inherent shaping of their quantization
noise. In this talk, we examine their potential for achieving high
resolution analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), and identify key
shortcomings such as nonlinearity of the voltage-to-frequency
characteristic and its impact on SNDR. Circuit techniques are then
presented to overcome such shortcomings, along with recent results
verifying their effectiveness. In particular, we show that using phase
rather than frequency within a continuous-time Sigma-Delta ADC topology
enables 78dB SNDR performance within 20MHz bandwidth with a power
efficiency of 330 fJ/conversion step. Finally, we conclude by
generalizing the VCO-based quantizer as an efficient combination of a
voltage-to-time converter and a time-to-digital converter, and discuss
its advantages compared to other recent approaches which combine these
components. |

Abstract |
This talk presents a MEMS-based programmable oscillator
which achieves better than +/-0.5ppm frequency stability from -40
degrees C to 85 degrees C and less than 1ps (rms) integrated phase
noise (12kHz to 20MHz). We focus on the key component of this system,
which is a thermistor-based temperature-to-digital converter (TDC) that
enables accurate and low noise compensation of temperature-induced
variation of the MEMS resonant frequency. The TDC utilizes several
circuit techniques including a high resolution, tunable reference
resistor based on a switched capacitor network and fractional-N
frequency division, a switched resistor measurement approach which
allows a pulsed bias technique for reduced noise, and a VCO-based
quantizer for digitization of the temperature signal. To verify the
effectiveness of these techniques, measured performance of a 180nm CMOS
IC with co-packaged MEMS die is presented which demonstrates 0.1mK
(rms) resolution for the TDC within a 5Hz bandwidth and power
consumption of 3.97mA with 3.3V supply. |

Abstract |
Driven by ever-increasing application demands, the energy expended
per A/D conversion has been reduced substantially over the last decade.
This presentation will survey the most recent trends and will
investigate energy limits as they apply to A/D converter architectures
commonly employed in fine-line CMOS technology (Flash, Pipeline, SAR
and Oversampling Converters). Through this analysis, opportunities for
further improvements will be identified and discussed in detail,
specifically emphasizing the impact of technology scaling. |

Abstract |
Artificial
intelligence research is ushering in a new era of sophisticated,
mass-market transportation technology. While computers can already fly
a passenger jet better than a trained human pilot, people are still
faced with the dangerous yet tedious task of driving automobiles.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the field of study that
aims to use artificial intelligence to make transportation safer,
cheaper, and more efficient. Recent advances in ITS point to a future
in which vehicles themselves handle the vast ma jority of the driving
task. Once autonomous vehicles become popular, autonomous interactions
amongst *multiple* vehicles will be possible. Current methods of
vehicle coordination, which are all designed to work with human
drivers, will be outdated. The bottleneck for roadway efficiency will
no longer be the drivers, but rather the mechanism by which those
drivers' actions are coordinated. While open-road driving is a
well-studied and more-or-less-solved problem, urban traffic scenarios,
especially intersections, are much more challenging. This talk will address the question: "To what extent and how can a multiagent intersection ! control mechanism take advantage of the capabilities of autonomous vehicles in order to make automobile travel safer and faster?'' First, I will introduce and specify the problem of intersection management as a multiagent system and define a metric by which solutions can be evaluated. Next, I will propose a novel multiagent intersection control mechanism in which autonomous driver agents "call ahead'' and reserve space-time in the intersection, pending the approval of an arbiter agent called an intersection manager, which is located at the intersection. |

| Speaker | Dan Fulgham, PhD. Dan Fulgham has on his resume an amazing number of accomplishments in science, technology, and aviation. His long career includes many years in the US Air Force, as well as a second career at Southwest Research Institute here in San Antonio. |
| Abstract |
On the afternoon of January 23rd, 1968, a U.S.
electronics intelligence gathering (spy) ship was attacked in
International Waters by North Korean sea and air forces, boarded and
taken to Wonsan harbor in North Korea, where the crew was imprisoned
and tortured for eleven months before being released. The Pueblo made
repeated calls for help while under attack, but no one responded.
Who should have been available to respond?: The 7th Fleet at Yokosuka
(USN aircraft carrier Enterprise); the 5th Air Force at Okinawa
(F-105s); and the 5th AF at Kunsan, So. Korea (F-4s). Why didn’t they?
Captain Bucher displayed outstanding leadership in protecting his crew
during captivity, so why did the Navy try to court-martial him after
his release? This is a classic Fate is the Hunter tale: luck, fate,
coincidences stacked upon coincidences, lack of government will, etc.,
etc. In February 1968, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force
dispatched three officers, Col. Clyde Burtenshaw (PACAF historian),
Major Dan Fulgham (F-4 Vietnam vet) and Major James Wall (F-105 Vietnam
vet) to the Far East to investigate the 5th Air Forces’ involvement in
the Pueblo Incident. Their charter gave them unlimited access to every
level of the 5th AF and what it could/should have been done to support
the Pueblo. Their report was classified well above Top Secret and was
only recently partially declassified. Some of what Dr. Fulgham will
tell has never before been revealed. |
