Abstract |
Art Wall and Bob DeLisi of ANSI C63 Committee Topic: Update on ANSI C63 Wireless Standards Subcommittee 4 of ANSI C63 addresses “Wireless and ISM Equipment Measurements.” Due to the increase in wireless communication and related technology advances, ANSI C63 has several working groups creating wireless standards, including ANSI C63.10 on unlicensed wireless devices; C63.26 on licensed wireless devices; C63.29 on lighting products; C63.30 on wireless power transfer; and C63.31 on ISM devices. Currently there are over 50 engineering professionals contributing to these working groups from manufacturers, academia, industry organizations and government agencies. The speakers who are Chair and Vice-chair, respectively, of Subcommittee 4 will provide an update on this new standards activity, including what’s driving the standards, the technical challenges these wireless devices and technology presents, and what progress has been made. Information will be provided on how those interested can contribute to this working group activity. Jari Vikstedt of ETS-Lindgren Topic: Test Challenges of Smart Antenna Systems The proliferation of wireless technologies into every corner of our lives, starting with traditional cellular and wireless LAN technologies and leading to the impending evolution of connected cars and the “Internet of Things,” all require the use of one common asset - bandwidth. While the traditional approach to added bandwidth is simply to use more RF spectrum, the availability of spectrum, especially at frequencies compatible with most of today’s applications, is severely limited. Technologies continue to evolve to make better utilization of the available bandwidth, including MIMO, beam forming, spectrum sharing and reuse, etc. The added complexity of these “smart” antenna systems carries over into the complexity of trying to test radios using these technologies. Smart antenna systems that adapt to their environment are not likely to perform the same way in a traditional laboratory test as they would in the real world. Thus, the laboratory test methodologies must advance to keep up with these innovations to be able to determine the expected over-the-air performance of these devices without requiring an unlimited number of test cases. This presentation will provide an overview on the evolving 5G and mmWave technologies and the resulting dramatic changes to the wireless industry that will impact the way all RF and EMC testing of devices is performed. |

Abstract |
Implantable microelectronic devices (IMD) and
neuroprostheses are finding applications in new
therapies thanks to advancements in
microelectronics, microsensors, RF communications,
and medicine, which have resulted in embedding
more functions in IMDs that occupy smaller space
and consume less power, while offering therapies
for more complex diseases and disabilities. I will
address the latest developments in key building
blocks for state-of-the-art IMDs, particularly on
the analog front-end, RF back-end, and power
management. IMDs have been quite successful in
neuroprosthetic devices, such as cochlear implants
and deep brain stimulators. They have been
recently approved for vision and are being
considered for brain-computer interfacing (BCI) to
enable individuals with severe physical
disabilities to control their environments,
particularly by accessing computers. Implantable
BCIs, however, are highly invasive and should be
used when there are no less invasive alternatives
that would offer similar benefits. They can also
be utilized as advanced tools for neuroscience
research on freely behaving animal subjects. I
will talk about the example of a smart cage, which
can wirelessly power, communicate with, and track
sensors implanted in or attached to small freely
behaving animals. At the same time, novel
minimally-invasive methods are being explored for
individuals with severe paralysis to make the best
use of their remaining abilities to control their
environments. An example of such technologies is a
wireless and wearable brain-tongue-computer
interface (BTCI), also known as the Tongue Drive
System (TDS), which enables individuals with
tetraplegia to control their environments using
their voluntary tongue motion.

Abstract |
Wireless power transmission is on the rise for a
variety of applications from electric vehicles to
smartphone and implantable microelectronic devices
(IMD). Unlike pacemakers, extreme size constraints
and high power consumption prevent many IMDs such
as cochlear and retinal implants from using
primary batteries as their energy source.
Moreover, such devices need to deliver a sizable
volume of information from external artificial
sensors to the nervous system while interfacing
with large neural populations at high stimulus
rates. Nonetheless, the skin barrier should remain
intact and the temperature should be maintained
well within the safe limits. In this talk I will
cover the fundamentals of efficient short-range
power and wideband data transmission across
inductive links. I will discuss the optimization
procedure to achieve the highest possible power
transmission efficiency using two, three, and four
coil systems, including mm-sized coils that can be
used in very small implants distributed in an area
of interest in the body. I will review some of the
latest techniques to establish wideband
bidirectional communication links across the skin,
and also touch on efficient methods to convert the
received AC power on the IMD to DC and stabilize
it at a desired level despite coupling variations
due to coil misalignments. |

Function Computation Model |

| Speaker | CL Chang of Nicesoft Corportation CL Chang received his PhD in 1967 from University of California, Berkeley. He was with National Institutes of Health, IBM San Jose Research Lab, and Lockheed Software Center. He now has his own company, Nicesoft Corporation. His fields are AI, Relational Databases, and Software Engineering. He has published several books and about 50 papers. He has engaged in many discussions in the Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing (BISC) and North America Taiwanese Engineering and Science Association (NATEA). For the more detailed information, click on the following link: https://www.nicesoftsearch.com/bio.html |
| Abstract | We should consider search-based function
computation model, not just expression-based
function computation model, because if we use the
search-based function computation model, then
"parallel computation" can be applied. If you use
the expression-based function computation model,
then computations are sequential as specified in a
programming language. I call the search-based
function computation model "Fuzzy Similarity for
Function Computation Model", which is basically a
table lookup and a nearest neighbor classifier
approach. For example, before we had a computer,
we used "sin(x)" table. If we are given 66
degrees, we look up the table to find the result. To find a "best fuzzy similar" vector, I use "parallel reduction method" by using 5000 cores in a GPU. If you have 20 million samples, divide them by 5000, each core just need to search 4000 samples. This is manageable even we need to use procedural loops. In this talk, I'll first give a demo of OpenCL C++. Then, I'll describe "Fuzzy Similarity for Function Computation Model". Finally, I'll give another demo on flower image recognition. |

Abstract |
Art Wall and Bob DeLisi of ANSI C63 Committee Topic: Update on ANSI C63 Wireless Standards Subcommittee 4 of ANSI C63 addresses “Wireless and ISM Equipment Measurements.” Due to the increase in wireless communication and related technology advances, ANSI C63 has several working groups creating wireless standards, including ANSI C63.10 on unlicensed wireless devices; C63.26 on licensed wireless devices; C63.29 on lighting products; C63.30 on wireless power transfer; and C63.31 on ISM devices. Currently there are over 50 engineering professionals contributing to these working groups from manufacturers, academia, industry organizations and government agencies. The speakers who are Chair and Vice-chair, respectively, of Subcommittee 4 will provide an update on this new standards activity, including what’s driving the standards, the technical challenges these wireless devices and technology presents, and what progress has been made. Information will be provided on how those interested can contribute to this working group activity. Jari Vikstedt of ETS-Lindgren Topic: Test Challenges of Smart Antenna Systems The proliferation of wireless technologies into every corner of our lives, starting with traditional cellular and wireless LAN technologies and leading to the impending evolution of connected cars and the “Internet of Things,” all require the use of one common asset - bandwidth. While the traditional approach to added bandwidth is simply to use more RF spectrum, the availability of spectrum, especially at frequencies compatible with most of today’s applications, is severely limited. Technologies continue to evolve to make better utilization of the available bandwidth, including MIMO, beam forming, spectrum sharing and reuse, etc. The added complexity of these “smart” antenna systems carries over into the complexity of trying to test radios using these technologies. Smart antenna systems that adapt to their environment are not likely to perform the same way in a traditional laboratory test as they would in the real world. Thus, the laboratory test methodologies must advance to keep up with these innovations to be able to determine the expected over-the-air performance of these devices without requiring an unlimited number of test cases. This presentation will provide an overview on the evolving 5G and mmWave technologies and the resulting dramatic changes to the wireless industry that will impact the way all RF and EMC testing of devices is performed. |

| Topic/Title | TENTATIVE Lunch and
tour of the Texas Military History Museum TENTATIVE |
|---|---|
| Speaker | |
| Abstract | The
45,000-square foot Texas Military Forces Museum
explores the history of the Lone Star State’s
militia and volunteer forces from 1823 (date of
the first militia muster in Stephen F. Austin’s
colony) to 1903 when the Congress created the
National Guard. From 1903 to the present the
museum tells the story of the Texas Army and Air
National Guard, as well as the Texas State
Guard, in both peacetime and wartime. The
museum displays dozens of tanks, armored
personnel carriers, self-propelled guns, trucks,
jeeps, helicopters, jet fighters, observation
aircraft and towed artillery pieces. Permanent
exhibits utilize uniforms, weapons, equipment,
personal items, film, music, photographs, battle
dioramas and realistic full-scale environments
to tell the story of the Texas Military Forces
in the Texas Revolution, the Texas Navy, the
Texas Republic, the Mexican War, the Battles
along the Indian Frontier, the War between the
States, the Spanish-American and
Philippine-American Wars, World War I, World War
II, the Korean War, the Cold War, Peace Keeping
Deployments and the Global War on Terror. Living
history programs, battle reenactments and other
special events take place throughout the year.
Admission to the museum is always FREE. https://texasmilitaryforcesmuseum.org NOTE the museum will host a 'Living History Reenactment' Veterans Day Weekend. Nothing brings military history to life like hearing the sound of a machine gun, the boom of cannon, the rattle of musketry, the drone of aircraft engines or feeling the earth shake under you while a tank drives by. All of these experiences are available to visitors courtesy of the Texas Military Forces Museum Living History Detachment which conducts a series of battle reenactments, demonstrations, displays, parades and living history programs throughout the year to make history “come alive” for young and old alike. The primary focus of the detachment is the 36th Infantry Division in World War II and the famous Texas Brigade during the War Between the States. However, the detachment also participates in World War I and Vietnam War events as well as other time periods. The museum’s living historians travel around the country to take part in historic events, but the backbone of their schedule are three programs that take place on Camp Mabry each year: the Close Assault 1944 living history program. |

Innovation and Creativity: Lessons from

|
Speaker |
|
|
Abstract |
“The greatest scientists are artists as
well.” –Albert Einstein, 1923 Join us for a great discussion of Innovation and Creativity and a live theater performance of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" by Austin Shakespeare at the Long Center (Rollins Hall). (Get your tickets now! This will be an amazing event!) We'll follow that by joining the cast for a Champagne Happy Hour and networking. Register below in order to join us for the reception---we'll need to know that you are coming...and register a guest as well! Leadership Lesson from Shakespeare: Lead Like Much Ado About Nothing's Beatrice & Benedick – One of the earliest and best romantic comedies, Much Ado About Nothing features all the deceit and manipulation we've come to expect in Shakespeare (and much contemporary comedy and business). What makes for a great leadership lesson is what Beatrice and Benedick do in the midst of the rumors, gossip and lies. Both take public positions that they cannot stand each other. Their dialogues are insult-duels (which Beatrice usually wins). Ultimately, however, they have the courage to be honest and admit their true feelings: They love each other. The leadership lesson here? Honesty is the best policy. The characters who rely on dishonesty (the villains Don John and Borachio) are arrested. The characters who admit what they feel and what they want to do about it (Beatrice and Benedick) end with a strong hint of happily ever after. Read this article "Shakespeare, Social Media and Social Networks." We'll learn leadership lessons from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing: Two Things: 1. Get your theater tickets here as well as 2. Register for this event so that we can include you at the Reception! |

Would you like to increase your creativity and
innovative capability? How about your team's
innovative capability? “The rate at which new ideas were expressed by employees to managers increased 55% over this period….[Leaders] attributed many positive changes directly to this brief testing and training program, including more than $600,000 in new revenues and about $3.5 million in innovative expenditure reductions over an 8-month period.” (See "Improving Problem Solving") One part of this relatively simple training program is to interact with interesting people and do interesting things. So....join us for a live theater performance of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" by Austin Shakespeare at the Long Center (Rollins Hall). (Get your tickets now! This will be an amazing event!)
