Third and final in the PCB series, this one will focus on different way to manufacture a PCB. 1111 Engineering Dr., Boulder, Colorado, United States, 80309

Performance requirements for today’s semiconductor and optoelectronic devices are leading to shrinking geometries, more complex 3-dimensional structures, and new materials. High temperatures, hot spots and temperature spikes can have a major impact on reliability. It is essential that one have a thorough understanding of static and dynamic thermal performance under operating and static conditions. This has traditionally been complex, time consuming, and often lacked the resolution required to detect thermal anomalies that could lead to early device failures. Fortunately, advances in thermal imaging techniques that combine the benefits of thermoreflectance-based analysis with illumination wavelengths from near-ultraviolet to near infrared coupled with infrared thermography can support thermal, spatial, and transient resolution consistent with today’s advanced complex device structures and shrinking geometries. In addition, equipment has advanced to considerably reduce the time and cost to get accurate results. Many examples will be shared to fully illustrate the device thermal behaviors that can be detected with these advanced thermal analysis techniques.

In the wake of unprecedented technological disruptions witnessed in the recent past, “quantum internet” has emerged as a promising candidate which has a potential to revolutionize both the existing wired and wireless communications. Quantum internet is basically a network of quantum devices that operates within an environment that harnesses the peculiar laws of quantum mechanics, namely superposition and entanglement. Unfortunately, however, the constituent quantum processing nodes as well as the transmission media are susceptible to noise, which is a major impediment to the realization of a global quantum Internet. Quantum error correction (QEC) is a set of techniques to protect quantum states from the effects of environmental noise, or de-coherence, and are thus envisaged to be very promising for future Quantum internet. Aikin to the classical internet, Quantum internet is envisaged to have following building blocks: quantum processors, quantum channel, quantum switch, quantum router and quantum repeater. However, considering the quantum mechanical constraints, different network hardware and software design solutions are essentially required. Typical hardware includes quantum information source, repeaters, quantum memories and quantum detectors; which are predominantly optical/photonic devices and systems. Hence photonic technology is likely to be the key technology for the future quantum internet. In this Seminar, after describing the basic quantum mechanical principles on which the quantum computing and quantum internet is based, the major building blocks of a quantum internet shall be discussed. In the end some future research directions will be highlighted.

Abstract: There is a lot of spectrum above 100 GHz potentially for broadband wireless applications. The presence of many important molecular resonances in the spectrum region resulted in a much high density of passive spectrum allocations in 100-275 GHz than in lower bands. When these passive allocations were made by ITU about 20 years ago it was unclear whether they needed the same absolute prohibition of sharing with active users that is needed in lower bands so at the proposal of the US it was decided to prohibit sharing initially but to request technical studies in ITU-R on the long term feasibility of sharing. None have been initiated to date but the unusual features of 100+ GHz suggest sharing may be practical and could open up bocks of contiguous spectrum in excess of 30 GHz wide while still protecting passive users. Without such sharing the largest block under 200 GHz is only 12.5 GHz wide. This presentation will explore the technical and spectrum policy issues in determining whether such sharing is feasible.

The presentation is about the replacement of SF6 (Sulfur hexafluoride) gas used in some designs of HV Instrument Transformers with clean air. Sf6 is used throughout the electric utility industry as an insulating medium for some types of high voltage circuit breakers, high voltage instrument transformers, and other equipment. SF6 gas is one of the worlds most potent greenhouse gasses with a with a global warming potential of 22,800 times that of carbon dioxide. Clean Air is an alternative insulating medium that is safe for the environment with zero global warming potential. 100 Energy Way, Suite 1700, Fort Worth, Texas, United States

As travel and logistics are key elements of our national infrastructure, innovation at seaports, intermodals and airports is of paramount importance to the global economy. While some facilities value innovation, the vast majority of facilities in America do not have the time, expertise or budget in place to hasten and facilitate the technology advancements of the 21st century. The expense of finding solutions, ideating targets of value and the cost and time of deploying said enhancements have put the United States behind our global counterparts. The Skyworld ATC (Advanced Technology Center) is positioned to change the narrative. Through collaboration and guided innovation, we aim to reduce the cost of innovation by half and increase the pace of adoption two-fold. Come to our session and learn how we aim to take flight and deliver technology at the speed of flight!

How does today’s process industry engineer even specify a motor with the plethora of industry standards from various standards development organizations around the globe? This paper provides a basic overview of the issues that are essential in the decision process when purchasing a new motor and is directed toward the engineer who must specify motors but is not a motor specialist. Since project engineers are regularly expected to justify options selected and purchase recommendations, this presentation provides guidance. Process industry motor standards are used in the review of motor requirements and options available today.

Standards knowledge can set you apart from your peers! Standards form the fundamental building blocks for product development by establishing consistent protocols that can be universally understood and adopted. This helps fuel compatibility and interoperability and simplifies product development, and speeds proof of concept. As standards are globally adopted and applied in many markets, they also fuel international trade. We will also talk a little about Utility Scale Battery Solutions and the standards that will be applicable to the Smart Grid of tomorrow. - The energy industry is undergoing a pivotal transformation where the electric infrastructure is changing to a more decentralized model toward more sustainable energy solutions. - With more than 80% of the total energy produced globally coming from fossil fuel-powered thermal plants, we are seeing a trend of reducing water consumption and altogether shifting away from this kind of energy production. - Energy efficiency initiatives and technologies are increasingly implemented across the globe.
