When people talk about their careers, it is often easy to tell others what they do. Sharing why they do what they do can sometimes be a challenge for some people. However, Electrical Engineers who work in medical product development environments can always say why they do what they do. When a new product gets released to the market, the product can be used to improve the lives or well-being of others. Sometimes, the product can even be used to save someone’s life. That’s a great reason to get involved in developing medical products! No matter how your day, week, month, or year is going, you always know that the products you create can have a major impact on someone’s life and that’s a great feeling. In this talk, Mr. Mozelewski will discuss careers in medical product development and offer many tips on how Electrical Engineering students can position themselves to take advantage of future job opportunities with medical device companies.

The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Philadelphia Chapter is holding a technical meeting. The topic is AC Traction Power Protective Relaying Topics: Schneider P-Series Protective Relays for AC Traction Power Systems. Our speaker is Alexandre Piatniczka with Schneider Electric. AC traction power substations along the Northeast Corridor and Philadelphia area were originally designed using single-function electromechanical and solid-state protective relays. Railway agencies have recently been using multifunction digital relays when upgrading substations with new protection systems or when replacing existing relays at frequency converter stations. The existing single-function protective relays can be adjusted using a screw driver and a 4-page manual. The new multifunction relays can be programmed from a laptop while following a 450 to 1200-page manual, depending on the vendor. Mr. Alexandre Piatniczka will present the Schneider P-Series multifunction digital relay and how it can be integrated into an existing traction power system, including recommendations on how to replace existing relay schemes. Options to retrofit into the existing cutouts without needing to cut or replace the panel will be discussed. A high-voltage breaker-and-a-half scheme will be used as an example. There is no charge for meeting attendance, only for PDH certificates. Attendees may apply for 1.0 PDH provided through the IEEE Certificates Program, accepted in all states. Member cost is $7.00 and non-member cost is $10.00 (USD) via vTools. Credit card payments are processed through PayPal. Checks will be accepted.

IEEE Susquehanna Section Technical Dinner and Presentation This talk will present the history and life of Nikola Tesla, one of the most interesting scientists and persons of all time, and the the inventor of many things that we still use today. Tesla was at the forefront of the well-documented "current wars" (DC vs AC) and his system of power generation is still the basic system we use to this day. It is quite the feat for anything in engineering to last that long. But his inventions don't stop there. In fact, Tesla has over 300 patents with many more inventions not patented. His Tesla Coil invention remains a popular item to be built and cause fascination by many hobbyists. Guglielmo Marconi is usually credited with inventing radio, but it was shown after a long fight in 1943 that Tesla was indeed the first, and his much earlier patent proved it. Unfortunately, Tesla's death occurred about 6 months before the patent office corrected the history. While widely recognized as one of the greatest scientists and inventors of all time, Tesla also had some very eccentric personality traits. Tesla has a cult following to this very day and is the subject of many conspiracies and mysteries. This presentation will discuss Tesla, both the man and the inventor. The presentation will discuss many of Tesla's most important inventions and patents, and discuss his history and life. This presentation is an abbreviated version of a talk given at Penn State University (State College) in 2006 commemorating the 150th anniversary of his birth. During that talk, many demonstrations were performed and recorded on video, some of which will be presented as part of this talk. The presentation will be preceded by dinner. Since we are all suffering "winter fatigue" by now and ready for spring and warmer weather, the dinner theme for this event will be "spring picnic in March," and will include many of the yummy things you'd expect at a spring picnic: - Hamburgers - Hot Dogs - Burger Topping Bar - Potato Chips - Potato Salad - Fudge Brownies There is a fee for the entire dinner+presentation event. There is no fee for only attending the presentation. Parking for the event is free and is in the parking lot south of the library. See the below map of the PSU Harrisburg campus for an overview on where the building and parking is located.

Power flow control techniques have been practiced, from using inductors, capacitors, transformers and load tap changers in the earlier days of electrical engineering to power electronics-based solutions in recent years. Even though the costs and complexities of the available solutions vary widely, the basic underlying theory of power flow control is still the same as it has always been. The question is which solution one should employ. The answer depends on knowing what the true need is. The power industry’s pressing need for the most economical ways to transfer bulk power along a desired path may be met by building new transmission lines, which is a long and costly process. Alternatively, it may be quicker and cheaper to utilize the existing transmission lines more efficiently. The key is to identify the underutilized transmission lines and harness their dormant capacities to increase the power flows to the lines’ thermal limits using the most cost-effective and time-tested solutions. Also, the grid congestion can be mitigated by holding the power flow in a line at its limit, instead of tripping the line and possibly initiating a cascaded failure of the grid, resulting in a blackout. The presentation is designed to provide the basic principles of power flow control theory, an overview of the most commonly used power flow controllers, and future trends. The first commercial-grade Sen Transformer is designed, manufactured, and tested. The test results are as always expected. The audience will hear from an expert who actually designed and commissioned a number of power electronics-based FACTS controllers since their inceptions in the 1990s.

This is a hands-on course combining pre-recorded lectures with live Q&A and workshop sessions in the popular and powerful open-source Python programming language. Pre-Recorded Videos: The course format includes pre-recorded video lectures that students can watch on their own schedule, and an unlimited number of times, prior to live Q&A workshop sessions on Zoom with the instructor. The videos will also be available to the students for viewing for up to two months after the conclusion of the course. Course Summary This course builds on the IEEE course “DSP for Wireless Communications” also taught by Dan Boschen, further detailing digital signal processing most applicable to practical real-world problems and applications in radio communication systems. Students need not have taken the prior course if they are familiar with fundamental DSP concepts such as the Laplace and Z transform and basic digital filter design principles. This course brings together core DSP concepts to address signal processing challenges encountered in radios and modems for modern wireless communications. Specific areas covered include carrier and timing recovery, equalization, automatic gain control, and considerations to mitigate the effects of RF and channel distortions such as multipath, phase noise and amplitude/phase offsets. Dan builds an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics through the use of graphics, visual demonstrations, and real-world applications for mixed signal (analog/digital) modern transceivers. This course is applicable to DSP algorithm development with a focus on meeting practical hardware development challenges, rather than a tutorial on implementations with DSP processors. Now with Jupyter Notebooks!
