Short Circuit Considerations for Spot Network Electric Services

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/409925

Short Circuit Considerations for Spot Network Electric Services Spot Network Electric Services are used for hospitals, national monuments, and manufacturing complexes where reliable electrical services is paramount. This course will: - Describe spot networks, how they work and why they are so strong and reliable. - How to calculate Short Circuit Currents. - Describe current limiting fuses and their function. - What happens to the electrical power system’s available short circuit current when on-site generators are paralleled with each other and the utility. - Design requirements for code compliance.

IEEE-USA Livestream Webinar: Blockchain

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/409058

Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that enables secure, transparent, and immutable recording of transactions across a network of computers. At its core, a blockchain consists of a chain of blocks, where each block contains a list of transactions. It requires network consensus to ensure validity. Once consensus is met, a block can be added to the ledger as an immutable record of transaction. This rather simple concept has already changed our transactional landscape a great deal since it emerged in popularity. Conceptually, blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt traditional systems, increase efficiency, transparency, and trust, and empower individuals and organizations across various domains. But, how did we get here? How is the history of Blockchain tied to Engineering and Technology? Is Blockchain only significant in the Data sciences and Computer Sciences Industries?

2D Materials for Bioelectronics

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/409274

The modern electronic components are rigid, solid, and stiff – a terrible match for soft, squishy, and deformable tissue such as human skin or inner organs such as the brain. The material mismatch results in the conceptual incompatibility of modern electronics with biological tissue. Nanoscale materials, such as graphene and other 2D materials, on the other hand, are unique constructs: in addition to their apparent unobtrusive atomic thickness, they are flexible, transparent, and biocompatible, matching perfectly with biological tissue. Using atomically thin and electrically conductive graphene electronic tattoos (GETs), we developed imperceptible monitoring technologies for measuring blood pressure with an unprecedented accuracy. Unlike other wearables, GETs are lightweight and skin-conformable, eliminating discomfort during long-term monitoring. Recently, we also translated this technology into implantable sensors, demonstrating the sensing and stimulation of the mammalian heart, including treatment of arrhythmia with graphene pacemakers. The arrays show superior electrochemical properties, while the transparency of the graphene structures allows for simultaneous optical mapping of cardiac action potentials and optogenetic stimulation. Additionally, we advanced in creating tissue-integratable bioelectronic systems resembling biological neurons using soft, flexible, and biocompatible artificial synaptic neuromorphic transistors based on graphene and Nafion, boosting superior energy efficiency. Taken together, these breakthroughs on wearable, implantable, and neuromorphic frontiers open up new possibilities for wearable and implantable graphene (and other 2D Materials like MoS2, PtSe2, PtTe2, and others) bioelectronics to transform healthcare.

It's that time of year again! IEEE Student Branch's biggest annual event, ProfHacks, is back for its ninth iteration. It is taking place on March 23-24, and you are all invited. ProfHacks isn't your ordinary hackathon. It is a chance to show off your technical and programming skills, tackle challenges head-on, and maybe even take home some awesome prizes. Our grand prize this year is a PlayStation 5 for each member of the winning team! Whether you are just starting out, or are an expert, this event is tailored to everyone! Along with the main competition, we will also be holding several workshops to learn something new or improve on your skills, and other events, like a Super Smash Bros Tournament, and our famed cup stacking challenge. On top of that, there is free food, and even a night-time planetarium show. The best part: it's all on the house! That is no cost to you! The only thing that we ask is that you register for the event so we know how much food to order. For more information, please visit https://profhacks.rowanieee.org/, and also view the attached documents.
