Abstract: Communication security is one of the top security challenges for connected devices, especially for physical devices connected through wireless access networks. Wireless links, often as the last mile, use un-guided medium as communication channels, and therefore gathering wireless data transmission is easier when compared to traditional cable systems. Wireless communication is thus prone to security vulnerabilities from the very beginning. At the same time, parts of device hardware are designed for use by everyone, which gives potential attackers physical access to the system. Most current wireless access networks apply conventional cryptographic approaches implemented on upper-layer operations to provide confidentiality/authentication/data integrity. This generally requires a high computational platform and managing secrets, which may not exist in all IoT devices. In this talk, physical layer security is addressed at waveform level by applying chaos theory. The cost-effective features include the simplicity of communication setup, the low power-consuming devices to generate and control chaotic signals, and no need of using complicated and energy consuming devices to avoid nonlinearities. The sensitivity to initial condition and complex dynamic feature make it a promising approach for physical layer security.

In this webinar, it will be discussed how Machine learning strategies will be extensively adopted in next-generation wireless networks for integrating communication and sensing services. The new wireless systems will be required to provide ultra-fast and reliable connectivity to support emerging applications such as the Metaverse, autonomous driving, and telemedicine. This challenges the way networks are managed now, and the way forwards is to use context-aware data-driven approaches. Therefore, next-generation wireless networks are supposed to rely on wireless sensing strategies combined with advanced machine learning approaches to implement algorithms that adapt to the actual network deployment, users’ requirements, and propagation channel. In addition to the connectivity service, the intrinsic capability of wireless networks to sense the propagation environment is expected to be leveraged in next-generation systems to provide the users with environment monitoring applications. In this context, machine learning will be paramount to address the complexity of wireless sensing tasks and process the high amount of data required for their effective implementation. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the most recent research we carried out in this area, regarding both communication-assisted sensing and sensing-assisted communication strategies, mentioning the open research challenges we have identified.

Abstract: The field of RF has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years. From being a technology that had its utilization mainly in Telecommunications and Radar applications, it is today the forefront technology for a myriad of biomedical applications. The market for biomedical applications is expanding and this in turn is constantly driving the demand for a plethora of RF products with smaller sizes, increased functionality, and integration. Consequently, recent years have seen rapid changes in RF techniques as well as technology. This trend is continuing enabling the use of increasingly higher RF frequencies with their inherent advantages of smaller component size and larger bandwidth. In particular, the use millimeter waves, and sub-terahertz frequencies has opened new opportunities in terms of development of non-invasive sensors for variety of biomedical applications including diagnostic and drug delivery systems. The talk will cover some of the biomedical applications of RF, Microwave, Millimeter waves and sub-terahertz frequencies. Examples and use of body area networks, targeted drug delivery systems, painless diagnostic systems, vital body parameter monitoring, non-invasive blood glucose monitoring sensors, imaging to effectively detect breast cancer etc. will be presented. Use of millimeter waves for diagnostics and treatment of certain body parameter disorders will also be described. Finally, the scope for future research in this important area will be briefly presented.

This work elucidates the developmental trajectory of oxygen concentrators within the COVID-19 pandemic, a period marked by a surge in demand for oxygen cylinders. We were presented with a chance to create a minimum viable product (MVP) for an oxygen concentrator by Dr. Sreeram Dhurjaty from Rochester and several engineers from PSIT. The adventure commenced by delving into the fundamental concepts of physics and chemistry. Initially, a machine with a wooden case was built utilizing readily accessible components, operating at a flow rate of 5 liters per minute (LPM). Following the determination of the precise volume of sodium zeolite granules, a machine was fabricated with an initial output purity of 75%. Various important changes were then subsequently made including improved sieve beds, the heat radiator system to disperse thermal energy, and changes in the chemistry of the primary concentrator. The testing of an improved (preproduction) stainless-steel unit spanned a duration of six months and was conducted at various institutions, including Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, a government hospital, and a Cardiology institute. During this period, we evaluated our oxygen concentrator with a flow rate of 10 lpm and a purity level of 90%. The cost of our final 5 lpm machine is approximately 25,000 Indian rupees (about $300).

MIT is once again hosting the 2023 IEEE MIT Micromouse Competition on Saturday, October 7, 2023 at 6:00pm to 8:30pm. Competition Guideline: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kdcc4jkQoybmasNEZHMa5SbpPSjl39y6/view?usp=sharing A Micromouse is a small robot vehicle that is able to navigate its way through an unknown maze. It is autonomous, battery-operated and self-contained, encompassing computer technology, robotics and artificial intelligence. The main challenge for the Micromouse designers is to import the Micromouse with an adaptive intelligence which enables exploration of different maze configurations, and to work out the optimum route with the shortest run time from start to destination and back. In addition, the Micromouse must reliably negotiate the maze at a very high speed without crashing into the maze walls. The objective of the competition is to build a Micromouse that can negotiate a specified maze in the shortest time. All IEEE Student Members and Graduate Student Members are eligible to participate. High School Students (non-IEEE Member) are also welcome to participate, but they need to attend a 30 minutes introduction session about IEEE and how IEEE can help them when they are an Undergraduate Student at a college. Whether your Micromouse is not quite functioning, or you have no Micromouse yet, you are welcome to participate. Besides the usual awards towards the fastest maze solvers, there is an award for the best Micromouse design. This contest will focus on the overall design as demonstrated by an oral presentation. Although there is no specific format required for the presentation, the following guidelines should be used for preparing for the presentation. The team should plan to address the following points in the presentation: ❖ Overall design goals and strategies ❖ High level structure of the design (mechanical, control) ❖ Design choices for sub functions (locomotion, sensing, etc) ❖ Overview of software ❖ Implementation and testing process and results ❖ Conclusions We encourage groups to feature the most innovative part (coding, mechanical design, etc) during the design presentation. You can give the Oral Presentation while running your micromouse. Each presentation/micromouse run will be 5 minutes, with another up to 5 minutes for questions. Please help to promote the MIT Micromouse competition, and encourage your students or friends to participate. If you, school robotics club or IEEE Student Branch have been working on designing and building a Micromouse project/program, this competition at MIT will be a great venue to celebrate your achievement and what you have learnt. If you have not worked on Micromouse, and you are interested to develop one, you should start now. It is only about 2 weeks left to the competition. But, it is not too late to start the development. You are allow to get a robot kit, and do your best to build and program your Micromouse to solve the maze. You should still consider to participate this year competition even your Micromouse is not fully function, or is not moving. There is a judging award for Best Design Micromouse and Innovative Program, and the Micromouse does not have to perform well in the maze.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerator designs for the edge devices have attracted vast interest, where accelerating Deep Neural Network (DNN) using Processing-in-Memory (PIM) and Processing-in Sensor (PIS) platforms is an actively-explored direction with great potential. Such accelerators, which simultaneously aim to address power- and memory-wall bottlenecks, have shown orders of performance enhancement in comparison to the conventional computing platforms with Von-Neumann architecture. As one direction of accelerating DNN in PIM/PIS, resistive memory array (aka. crossbar) has drawn great research interest owing to its analog current mode weighted summation operation which intrinsically matches the dominant Multiplication-and-Accumulation (MAC) operation in DNN, making it one of the most promising candidates. An alternative direction is through bulk bit-wise logic operations directly performed on the content in digital memories. The main goal of this seasonal school is to dive deep into therapidly developing field of PIM and PIS with a focus on the intelligent memory and sensor circuit and system at the edge and cover its cross-layer design challengesfrom device to algorithms. The Second IEEE Seasonal School in Circuits and Systems on Intelligent Memory & Sensor at the Edge (IMS 2023) offers tutorial level talks by leading researchers from multiple disciplines and prominent universities and promotes student participation to demonstrate new research and results, discuss the potential and challenges of the edge accelerators, future research needs, and directions, and shape collaborations.

There will be student posters and demonstrations to check out before getting to the main event, our featured guest speaker. Everything (even the parking!) will be at no cost to attendees! This means space is limited and though free, you must pre-register to attend. We are excited and honored to have the legendary Lockheed Martin Fellow, Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE) member, member of National Academy of Engineering and IEEE Fellow, Dr. Vladimir Blasko to speak on the topic of “Control and Tracking of Periodic Waveforms and Disturbance Elimination in 3-Phase Converters and Drives.” Additional event details can be found below. Talk Title: Control and Tracking of Periodic Waveforms and Disturbance Elimination in 3-Phase Converters and Drives Abstract: Over last 50 years industrial drives have been subject to significant development and improvements. The development was driven primarily by the advances or power electronics devices transitioning from thyristors with soft switching commutation over silicon-based junction device (slow BJT and faster IGBTs), towards modern nowadays drives, with SiC and GaN, very fast switching - channel devices. Power devices have been driving size, efficiency, and the development of power converter topologies. Operation and performances were further significantly influenced by advancements in control hardware (combinations of microprocessors and FPGAs) and control algorithms with model-based design, reaching nowadays amazing flexibility and creativity in implementation. A historic perspective, evolution, and common theoretical framework for control, tracking and elimination of periodic disturbances/harmonics with arbitrary waveforms with focus on applications in electrical drives and power electronics will be presented. Three different approaches from three different fields, namely from classical-general-control, electrical drives and adaptive noise canceling will be analyzed. The internal model principle, originating from control community, will be introduced first as it provides a general and elegant solution for tracking and elimination of (a) DC type of signals (b) harmonic - sine and cosine signals and (c) repetitive - arbitrary periodic waveforms. After that, as a second approach, the synchronous reference frame current regulators are reviewed as broadly used and still dominant for current control in electrical drives. The synchronous regulators have difficulty to control distorted current having direct and inverse components. As a remedy, a combination of two separate synchronous regulators rotating in synchronous frames aligned with direct and inverse components are combined. It be shown that after the transformation of integral parts of combined direct and inverse synchronous regulators into stationary reference frame, a single harmonic regulator in stationary reference is derived. Adaptive Noise Canceling (ANC) algorithm broadly used in digital signal and acoustic noise processing will be discussed as a third option and demonstrated for current control and selective harmonic elimination in grid tied inverters. It will be shown that linear combiner and lest mean square (LMS) algorithm as parts of ANC have the same transfer function as a harmonic regulator and therefore can perform the same function. High level of similarity and results between the approaches in three different fields (control, signal processing and power electronics) will be shown and performances of different regulators demonstrated through simulation. Experimental results will be presented to demonstrate performances and capability. About the speaker: Dr. Vladimir Blasko received PhD, MSc and BSc, from the University of Zagreb, Croatia all in Electrical Engineering. He holds the position of LM Fellow at Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.

People turn to technology to solve important problems in life and society. Many people face temporary or long term disability at some point in life, either their own, a loved one, student, or employee. Born Accessible is an initiative to promote designing and developing technology that is accessible to everyone from day one rather than trying to make existing technology accessible. Engineers and computer scientists can reduce disparity and improve wellbeing for everyone by improving accessibility of technology. For example, as people age, many face dementia. As the disease progresses, persons living with dementia may lose their capabilities for rational thinking required to interact with mainstream technological applications. However, they preserve their curiosity, sense of beauty, enjoyment, the need for communication, and companionship. Technology needs to adapt to turn challenges into successes. During this presentation, we will show different examples of technological adaptations that promote stimulation and engagement at various stages of the disease, focusing on the abilities that the persons still preserve. Paula's shares her preparation for the profession: Paula Muller, who is the Founder of Sociavi, has a lifelong passion for technology applied to healthcare, starting with her M.S. in Biomedical Engineering in Chile working with the blind, then her work in Switzerland analyzing EEGs to prevent epileptic seizures, followed by her Ph.D. and Post-doc work at Rutgers with Parkinson patients, and later at Authentidate with Telehealth products and services. Paula is Certified Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia Care Training (CADDCT) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), and volunteers as bilingual Community Educator for the Alzheimer's Association.

Material properties affect the performance of electronic devices. Material characterization techniques can be used to analyze a wide range of properties. Mainly, we will focus on Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) based techniques that are commonly used to characterize materials. For example, Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) is used to identify chemistry distribution within a surface while Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) provides information about the grain size, crystal structure and orientation, among others. This presentation will offer an overview of some characterization techniques, discussing how the techniques work and what information can be obtained from them. Some examples of applications will be shared to illustrate how they can solve research problems.

Remarkable progress has been achieved in deep learning-related systems and applications. In the post-Moore’s Law era, however, the limit of semiconductor fabrication technology and the increasing data size have slowed down the development of learning algorithms. In parallel, the rapid development of quantum computing has pushed classical system designs into a new era. We propose novel architectures with quantum-state-fidelity-based evaluation functions to train deep learning models. The new designs encode the data with a reduced number of qubits and generate the quantum circuit, pushing it to the quantum machines for the best states iteratively. We conduct intensive experiments on both quantum simulators and the IBM-Q quantum platform. Additionally, we compare IBM-Q results with IonQ as they are the two leading qubit implementations for quantum information processing at scale and have complementary characteristics. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities to develop quantum-based systems and applications further.

The concept “flexibility” has been introduced to address challenges related to uncertainty in power generation (supply side), uncertainty in energy availability (demand side), the need for changing power systems planning methods, and the need for changing power systems operation approaches. In order to increase the flexibility of power systems to reliably and cost-effectively manage the variability and uncertainty of demand and supply across all relevant timescales, Distributed Generation (DG) units and Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) can be utilized. The interconnection of such systems to power grids can be via the DC-link of Custom Power devices (CUPs). The result of this interconnection, called “Flexible Distributed Energy Resources”, can affect the flexibility of power systems by controlling energy exchange, active power and voltage, and simultaneously improving power quality indices. In this presentation, challenges related to uncertainties in power generation and energy availability, as well as changes in power systems operation and planning methods, will be discussed. Discussions on power systems flexibility will be given, and then, it will be shown that it is possible to connect DG units and ESSs to power grids using the DC-link of Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM), Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) and Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), and control active power injected by DG units and ESSs and simultaneously improve power quality indexes.

External factors unrelated to technology that include global pandemics and wars have influenced the development and applications of technology. As a result, the world has transformed itself and it continues to evolve and reinvent itself through technology. Technology is a key enabler of global transformation driven by comprehensive developments, often called “Megatrends.” Megatrends coalesce around multiple interacting or mutually dependent developments, last for a long time, and have broad impacts not just to technology, but to business, society and the environment. Simply put, they impact all of humanity. In this talk we present predictions of individual technology developments as well as megatrends.

Course Format: Live Webinar, 3.5 hours of instruction! Series Overview: From the book introduction: “Neural networks and deep learning currently provides the best solutions to many problems in image recognition, speech recognition, and natural language processing.” This Part 1 and the planned Part 2, (to be confirmed) series of courses will teach many of the core concepts behind neural networks and deep learning. This is a live instructor-led introductory course on Neural Networks and Deep Learning. It is planned to be a two-part series of courses. The first course is complete by itself and covers a feedforward neural network (but not convolutional neural network in Part 1). It will be a pre-requisite for the planned Part 2 second course. The class material is mostly from the highly-regarded and free online book “Neural Networks and Deep Learning” by Michael Nielsen, plus additional material such as some proofs of fundamental equations not provided in the book. More from the book introduction: Reference book: “Neural Networks and Deep Learning” by Michael Nielsen, http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/ “We’ll learn the core principles behind neural networks and deep learning by attacking a concrete problem: the problem of teaching a computer to recognize handwritten digits. …it can be solved pretty well using a simple neural network, with just a few tens of lines of code, and no special libraries.” “But you don’t need to be a professional programmer.” The code provided is in Python, which even if you don’t program in Python, should be easy to understand with just a little effort. Benefits of attending the series: * Learn the core principles behind neural networks and deep learning. * See a simple Python program that solves a concrete problem: teaching a computer to recognize a handwritten digit. * Improve the result through incorporating more and more core ideas about neural networks and deep learning. * Understand the theory, with worked-out proofs of fundamental Pre-requisites: There is some heavier mathematics in learning the four fundamental equations behind backpropagation, so a basic familiarity with multivariable calculus and matrix algebra is expected, but nothing advanced is required. (The backpropagation equations can be also just accepted without bothering with the proofs since the provided Python code for the simple network just make use of the equations.) Basic familiarity with Python or similar computer language. Speaker(s): CL Kim, Boston, Massachusetts, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/359296

Air-to-ground radar imaging via synthetic aperture radar provides an all-weather, day-night capability to deliver fine-resolution imagery at long range. Due to the unique phenomenology of RF scattering, interpretation of SAR imagery can be nuanced even for trained analysts. As radar systems have begun to explore wide-angle or even staring synthetic aperture radar, where the system dwells on a scene for a much longer period of time, the resultant data has new elements of spatial diversity that can be exploited to improve SAR image interpretability. We explore several techniques for characterizing and visualizing SAR image content based on wide-angle data. We present results with simulated and measured data sets. Speaker(s): Brian D. Rigling Agenda: The talk will be virtual by Zoom on Oct. 24, 2023 between 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM EST. There is no fee and everybody is invited. Please use the following link to participate.

Invited Talk Networking and Routing in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Communication Systems: Challenges and Solutions Professor Bomin Mao Northwestern Polytechnical University, China About the Talk Ultra-dense Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites can provide users with flexible, seamless, and high-throughput communication services. They complement the shortcomings of terrestrial communications and conventional Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite-based communications. However, the qualified End-to-End (E2E) service provision is challenged by the ultra-density and high dynamics of LEO satellite constellations as well as the uneven distribution of service requests. Traditional networking and routing solutions are not applicable for the large-scale 3-dimensional dynamic satellite networks with mixed Radio Frequency (RF) and laser links. To address these issues, worldwide researchers have devoted significant efforts. In this talk, we first introduce the LEO communication system characteristics and service requirements which challenge the networking and routing solution design. Then, several cutting-edge solutions and their performance are explained to illuminate future potential directions. Finally, we discuss existing simulation platforms for satellite networks and future digital twin-based platforms. About the Speaker Dr. Bomin Mao is currently a Professor with the School of Cybersecurity, Northwestern Polytechnical University, China.

Come hear IEEE 2023 MTT-S Speakers Bureau Lecturer Dr. Phillip M. Smith's presentation on the remarkable progress made over the past several decades in the evolution of transistors (specifically FETs and HEMTs) for low-noise amplifier applications, at frequencies from 1 GHz to 1 THz, ubiquitously needed in areas that include communications, radar, signal detection, remote sensing, radio astronomy, and quantum computing. Devices employing material systems based on the semiconductors GaAs, InP, GaN and Si will be described, where content will include structures, physical/electrical characteristics and performance benchmarks. Various aspects of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) will also be discussed, including circuit design considerations, producibility, reliability, cryogenic operation, dynamic range, robustness and power consumption. Future trends will be forecast. This presentation will help you appreciate the work undertaken to make remarkably reliable LNAs possible for some of the most critical applications in the world, like in the acquisition of telemetry data in the once-in-a-lifetime event of the Voyager 2 spacecraft's encounter with Neptune in 1989, where HEMT-based amps in the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Large Array (VLA) in Socorro, NM were essential to the mission's success. This presentation will be very interesting to MTT-S members for its technical content, and to all in the IEEE for its historic survey. Dr. Smith has almost 40 years of microwave electronics experience in industry, for defense and space applications, from hands-on lab work to R&D leadership. He is an IEEE Life Fellow and has authored over180 papers. Everyone is welcome, from practitioner to retiree, and student. IEEE events are open to all; you do not have to be a member to attend.
