Copyright secrets for graphic artists and software developers
If somebody pays you to create a graphic for them, of course they own the tangible product. But without a written transfer of copyright, did know that you'd still own that copyright? Except if you used an Artificial Intelligence tool to generate the image. Then it won't be copyrightable. Do you know when it's desirable to register your copyright with the federal government and how to do it online? In what situations can you incorporate into your artwork images from somebody else, even without their permission? What is “fair use” of copyrighted subject matter has been upended by recent court decisions. You used to have to hire a lawyer to start a lawsuit in federal court in order to enforce your copyright against an infringer. But for years you've also had the option of demanding that Internet platforms take down unauthorized copies of your work. And just recently, Congress created a "small claims" tribunal where you can pursue copyright infringers. There's a lot of controversy over the use of publicly accessible copyrighted images and text to "train" artificial intelligence models to generate new pictures and writings. Might you have rights against such uses? Speaker(s): Gerry J. Elman Agenda: WEBINAR: 7:00 - 8:00 P.M.

An Introduction to Pulsed Power Systems – 2 CPD Hours for Profession Engineers
An Introduction to Pulsed Power Systems – 2 CPD Hours for Profession Engineers
Pulsed power is the science and technology of accumulating electrical energy over a relatively long period of time and releasing it almost instantaneous, thus amplifying in the instantaneous power by millions to billions of times. Applications include food processing, inertial confinement fusion, radiation effects, fundamental physics, particle accelerators, directed energy systems, medical devices, and more much. Similarities and differences between pulsed power and traditional power systems (the electric utility grid) will be highlighted. The talk will include topics from the following areas and present the history of the field from early high voltage radar technology to analyzing modern pulsed power sources capable of instantaneous power in the 100s of TWs and currents in the 100s of MAs. Speaker(s): Allen Morinec, Jr., Agenda: Seminar Topics Include: - Introduction to Pulsed Power - Basic Circuits - Capacitive, Inductive, and Mechanical Energy Storage - Marx Generators - Pulse Shaping Topologies - High Voltage Breakdown and Physics - Solid State Switching - High Power Vacuum and Gas Switches - Pulse Generators - Voltage Multipliers - Diagnostic Considerations - Compact and Explosive Pulsed Power - Railguns - Accelerators & Modulators - Applications - Z-Machine, DARHT, and other modern sources Room: WH-405, Bldg: Cleveland State University - Washkewicz Hall, 2121 Euclid Ave, Parking available at CSU Visitor Lot #54 on E24th Street between Payne & Chester Avenues, behind the Langston Dorm, Cleveland, Ohio, United States, 44115

IEEE DataPort and AskIEEE: Revolutionizing Access to Research Data
IEEE DataPort and AskIEEE: Revolutionizing Access to Research Data
In response to the exponential growth of global data generation, IEEE has initiated two groundbreaking projects stemming from the IEEE/TA Data Strategy Ad Hoc committee. These initiatives harness IEEE's vast dataset resources to accelerate research and development, facilitate global data sharing, and create value for members and customers worldwide. The first project, IEEE DataPort, is a searchable repository of research datasets. Key features include: · Ability to link datasets to authors' IEEE publications · Open upload system for researchers · Metadata and quality screening process · Assignment of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to datasets Dataport has a rapidly growing user base of over 8.5 million, with 20,000 new users daily. The second project is an AI/ML-powered search and knowledge engine that utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technologies. The pilot program, "AskIEEE," allows users to pose questions in natural language and receive answers derived from IEEE's comprehensive information database. This presentation will showcase the capabilities and successes of these innovative projects, exploring their potential to expand IEEE's global reach and impact on the research community.
