IEEE CHAPTER EVENTS
6/16, 8:00 am, SFBA EPS VTS, Delivering Reliable Systems for Automotive And Mobile Electronics, WebEx
Differing environments, lifetimes, failure modes, ageing, qualification, test methods. Speaker: Nihal Sinnadurai, CTO, ATTAC (Corporate Troubleshooting Associates), England

6/16, 12:00 pm, SCV VTS, Autonomous Vehicles and Software Safety Engineering, Webinar
Safety assurance remains a significant hurdle for widespread deployment of autonomous vehicle technology. The emphasis has been on getting the technology to work well enough on everyday situations. Achieving safety for these life-critical systems requires more … brute force road testing won’t ensure safety.

6/16, 3:30 pm SFBA NANO, 6th Annual Company Origin Stories - Exploring Entrepreneurship, Virtual Event
Our most popular event series: Several CEO/Founders discuss the technology and business aspects of building a successful company based on nanotechnology. Cost: Free!

6/22, 9:00 am, SFBA EPS, System-In-Package Power Delivery: Challenges And Innovations, WebEx
Multi-core microprocessors, 3D stacking, multiple power rails, current density, energy limits. Speaker: Kaladhar Radhakrishnan, Intel Fellow and a Power Delivery Architect, Intel.

EGRID SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES
We invite any SF Bay Area engineer/developer/manager to subscribe to the eGrid at no cost to the eGRID and receive it twice a month. These subscribers are maintained on the IEEE's secure ListServ system, and you can subscribe/unsubscribe at any time.

To subscribe your current email address, and you are an IEEE member, send a separate email to listserv@listserv.ieee.org with the following information in the BODY of the email:
      subscribe   e-GRID-I   FirstName   LastName
If you want to unsubscribe and you are an IEEE member, type
      unsubscribe e-GRID-I   FirstName   LastName

To subscribe your current email address, and you are not an IEEE member, send a separate email to listserv@listserv.ieee.org
with the following information in the BODY of the email:
      subscribe   e-GRID   FirstName   LastName

To end your subscription and you are not an IEEE member, type
      unsubscribe e-GRID   FirstName   LastName


This seems to work for some people, but not others. Another option is eliminate either your full name or just your last name, and just type unsubscribe   e-GRID-I

Be sure to email from the account in which the subscription is emailed, not one which "points" at the real email address.
If you have trouble with this, please email me directly at s.l.winkler@ieee.org.
You will receive an emailed form requesting that you verify your subscription.
