Co-sponsored by: Computer Society Chapter (Wash/NoVa) C16 Abstract: On March 11, 2011, a massive tsunami triggered by a huge earthquake flooded the six-unit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan. The flood caused damage to the plant’s electrical systems far beyond what the plant’s owner, TEPCO, had ever anticipated or made preparations to mitigate. As a... Read more →

Abstract: On March 11, 2011, a massive tsunami triggered by a huge earthquake flooded the six-unit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan. The flood caused damage to the plant’s electrical systems far beyond what the plant’s owner, TEPCO, had ever anticipated or made preparations to mitigate. As a result, the plant experienced a near-total loss... Read more →

  Lorentz reciprocity is a fundamental property of linear time-invariant passive circuits and systems constructed from conventional materials. However, non-reciprocal components, such as circulators, enable new wireless communication paradigms, such as full duplex wireless. Conventionally, non-reciprocal circulators have been realized using ferrite materials that exhibit the magneto-optic Faraday effect, and are consequently incompatible with CMOS,... Read more →

The energy needs for wireless systems is limiting the evolution of most of the IoT and 5G future solutions. In this talk an overview of the energy problem in wireless communication systems will be presented, either from a mobile network point of view, but also from a IoT point of view. The main objective is... Read more →

The ability by a robot to operate in an uncertain environment, such as near humans or far away under human control, potentially opens a myriad uses. Examples include robots preparing the Mars surface for human arrival; robots for assembly of large space telescopes; robot helpers for the elderly; robotic search and disposal of war mines....
