MOVE In-Person Operations & Truck Mtce Training
Upcoming 2025 MOVE Operations & Truck Maintenance Training MOVE Operations Class IEEE USA MOVE is offering a dynamic 1-day Operations Class essential for anyone gearing up for MOVE truck deployment, or with a keen interest in the program. New MOVE members should attend, and it's highly recommended for those who want to refresh their knowledge. We cover everything from deployment expectations to truck equipment and essential safety procedures. This course spans three modules, each lasting about two hours. You must attend all three modules. With the introduction of a third truck, we'll delve into the distinctions between the three trucks. Saturday April 5 – Hands On training with the MOVE truck on-site Operations Training – Module 1, 8 - 10am The session will provide an overview of the MOVE truck operation for MOVE-1, MOVE-2 and MOVE-3 with a high-level understanding of truck operations, power systems, network systems and communications/radio systems. This will be followed by demonstration and practice on the MOVE truck. The differences between the three trucks will be discussed. Operations Training – Module 2, 11am - 2pm (with lunch break) The session will provide a detailed orientation and discussion on truck operations, maintenance and power generations systems. This will be followed by demonstration and practice on the MOVE truck. The differences between the three trucks will be discussed. Operations Training – Module 3, 3 - 5pm The session will provide a detailed orientation and discussion on the networking and communications systems. An overview of the Cisco Meraki, Starlink and radio systems operations and functionality will be provided. This will be followed by demonstration and practice on the MOVE truck. The differences between the three trucks will be discussed. There will be a test after the third Module - material will be provided for the test. Sunday April 6 – Hands On training with the MOVE truck on-site Truck Maintenance Training, 8am - noon In order for the MOVE truck to be permanently stationed in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, it must be periodically and continuously maintained. This includes the electrical and charging systems, fuel and mechanical systems, and specialized communications systems. Local volunteers wishing to provide this valuable service are encouraged to attend a half-day session on how to ensure the MOVE truck is always prepared for deployment.

Beating the Shannon Limit: The Case of the 56K Modem
Beating the Shannon Limit: The Case of the 56K Modem
Voiceband modems convert a stream of digital symbols into audible signals and transmit them over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The first voiceband modem was developed in 1958 and operated at 110 bits/s. Being subject to international standards developed by the International Union of Telecommunications, Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T), a body of the United Nations, these modems consistently increased their transmission speeds within the next several decades. Every step in the standards process involved a major development in signal processing and communications, such as various forms of adaptive equalization, echo cancellation, and trellis coded modulation. These contributions approximately doubled the transmission speed of every step of the standardization process, starting with 300 b/s in 1962 until about 28.8-33.6 kb/s in 1996. Modem designers invoked Shannon's capacity formula and, considering quantization noise occurring at the Analog-to-Digital conversion process in the PSTN Central Office as additive white Gaussian noise, decided that the channel capacity for such modems is about 36 kb/s. Yet, towards the end of 1990s, modems that operated at transmission speeds close to 56 kb/s, known generally as 56K modems appeared. This talk will first give a brief history of voiceband modems, and it will describe how it was possible to beat the Shannon capacity formula with the 56K modems. The underlying modeling process and the related mathematics will be described. A history of the development of the 56K modems will be presented and, looking back several decades, the technological, as well as the economic and social impact of these modems, will be discussed.

Building Chatbots for Learning and Training
Building Chatbots for Learning and Training
2025 Spring IEEE OKC Webinar Series IEEE OKC invites you to join the event below, organized by Oklahoma International Publishing, as part of its 2025 Spring OkIP Conferences on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. This virtual event is free of charge to IEEE Oklahoma City members. Please register ahead of time to receive the proper instructions for remote participation: >> Speaker: Dr. Maiga Chang Full Professor Associate Dean, Research & Innovation Faculty of Science and Technology Athabasca University, Canada >> Talk: Building Chatbot for Learning and Training >>> Abstract: Online learning and teaching do not mean that putting course materials online and asking students to learn by themselves. It is important to provide students supports when they encounter questions about course content or materials. When students ask their question on a discussion forum in an online learning environment, sometimes there may have no one available at that time to help them due to time differences or study behaviors and needs – for instances some students may have family/children/baby and day job and they might not be able to do their study until late night or weekends. This leads to an obvious conclusion that if a system was in place to provide an automated summary, this could facilitate learning. Having an easily accessible system, which can quickly provide responses, allows students to get information that may have otherwise been difficult to find. In this talk, I will explain how chatbots can be developed and discuss three potential chatbot in education applications: (1) the Ask4Summary Moodle plugin (https://ask4summary.vipresearch.ca/#download) acts like an online tutor can automatically answers a student’s question with a summary assembled via matching and retrieving from the stored information; (2) a block-based, visual editing environment to alleviate the burden of knowledge imposed on users wishing to implement chatbots in their use of training and/or as an automated first-level of support; and (3) guardians living in MEGA World (https://megaworld.game-server.ca/), who provide individual students a way to get their questions explained and the information asked. >>> About the speaker: Dr. Maiga Chang is Associate Dean, Research & Innovation, and Full Professor at Faculty of Science and Technology, Athabasca University, Canada. He is also Honorary Chair Professor at Multidisciplinary Academic Research Center, National Dong Hwa University, Taiwan.
