[] This event will be a tour of the ABB Lab and Plant facilities located in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Space is limited so registration will be set to 30 maximum attendees. If we have the full 30 attendees, there will be three separate tour groups: two will start simultaneously but go in different directions within the plant, and the third group will begin 5 minutes later. A lab representative will be assigned to each group. After completing the plant tour, the representative will guide the group to the lab, where they will wait for the remaining groups. The lab tour will be conducted with everyone together. Please note that safety shoes are mandatory in both the plant and lab areas. We have a limited supply of safety shoes available for loan, so we ask that attendees bring and wear their own if possible. Additionally, if anyone has prescription safety glasses with side shields, it’s best for them to wear these to avoid the bulkier over-the-glass style. The Ozark, Arkansas, and River Valley Sections are all co-hosting this event. This should be a great tour! Fort Smith is the US headquarters for ABB’s Motors and Generators business and the global headquarters for NEMA compliant motors. The 1.2 million electric motors produced annually in Fort Smith convert electricity into mechanical energy to do the work of industry, like, powering pumps, conveyors, fans, and compressors. Fort Smith includes our motors distribution center and advanced development lab. Our product offering is designed to meet our customers’ needs for reliability, availability, variety, and energy efficiency. 5713 Rs Boreham Jr St, Fort Smith, Arkansas, United States, 72908

Come join the IEEE Houston Power & Energy Society for our quarterly meeting! All IEEE members and any other industry professionals, students, and members of the public interested in power engineering are invited. On September 25th, we are excited to have top industry expert Tyler Knutson presenting. All attendees receive a continuing education certificate for one professional development hour (PDH). This meeting's topic: the VFI transformer combines a transformer and a fully functional VFI in one cabinet. The vacuum fault interrupter (VFI) with factory installed and tested relay control package provides primary protection and digital communication in one complete package. This eliminates the need for medium-voltage switches or other monitoring devices which simplifies the installation and reduces installed footprint. Co-sponsored by: Lynn Elliott Speaker(s): Tyler Knutson, Agenda: 5pm Begin meeting, announcements 5:10pm Presentation begins 5:50pm Q&A for Tyler 6pm End meeting After the meeting, we head over to The Powder Keg just across the parking lot for a networking happy hour.

Reliable and scalable wireless transmissions for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) are technically challenging. Each vehicle, from driver-assisted to automated one, will generate a flood of information, up to thousands of times of that by a person. Vehicle density may change drastically over time and location. Emergency messages and real-time cooperative control messages have stringent delay constraints, while infotainment applications may tolerate a certain degree of latency. On a congested road, vehicles need to exchange information badly, only to find that services are not available due to scarcity of wireless spectrum. Considering the service requirements of heterogeneous V2X applications, service guarantee relies on an in-depth understanding of network performance and innovations in wireless resource management. In this talk, we compare the performance of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) beacon broadcasting using random access-based (IEEE 802.11p) and resource allocation-based (C-V2X) protocols and introduce several enhancement strategies and prototypes to mitigate packet collisions, recover from transmission errors, and support two-user non-orthogonal transmissions. They can be enabling tools toward reliable and scalable V2X for future intelligent transportation systems. Speaker(s): LIN, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434892
