Join the IEEE Foundation on Friday, 8 November, at 11:30 a.m. EST for an IEEE Foundation Estate Planning Luncheon at the beautiful Bell Works venue in Holmdel, NJ. This event is an opportunity for IEEE Members and friends to gather and connect with peers before the holidays and to see how investing in the future could keep many of the IEEE activities and programs thriving for generations to come. Estate planning encompasses various components, and knowing which ones apply to you and the correct order in which to address them is essential. Often, people focus on reducing inheritance taxes at the expense of maximizing retirement cash flow and lowering effective tax rates. It is crucial to understand how properly structuring assets and cash flows can lead to increased retirement cash flow and reduced tax rates during your lifetime. Our keynote speaker is Shaun Scutellaro, CPA and Partner at Cohn Reznick, LLP. Shaun has extensive career experience in public and private accounting and domestic and foreign tax. He is a member of the AICPA and NJCPA and is beginning a term on the board of Trustees for NJCPA compliance for individuals. Shaun will guide us through his expertise in a brief and insightful seminar on estate planning.

Talk Title: PC Board Design and Layout for Low-EMI Power Conversion Presentation Outline: As a consultant for over 10 years, Kenneth has realized the root cause of many design issues revolves around the circuit board design and how the I/O and power connectors are arranged and filtered. Poor board designs and poor interconnect placement and filtering can result in radiated emissions, radiated immunity, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) compliance failures, among others. Bad designs often result in endless cycles of trial and error mitigation, compliance testing and board spins. This drags out the schedule and is very costly. In the presentation, Kenneth will explain how digital signals propagate in boards as electromagnetic fields. He will also explain how interconnect placement and poor filtering design and layout can affect the EMI performance. Once you understand this, then board stack-up, trace routing, filter design and interconnect placement should become very clear and you should be able to design a low-EMI board the first time! About the speaker: Kenneth Wyatt is principal consultant of Wyatt Technical Services LLC and served three years as the senior technical editor for Interference Technology magazine from 2016 through 2018. He has worked in the field of EMC engineering for over 30 years with a specialty in EMI troubleshooting and pre-compliance testing. He is a co-author of the popular EMC Pocket Guide and RFI Radio Frequency Interference Pocket Guide. He also co-authored the book with Patrick André, EMI Troubleshooting Cookbook for Product Designers, with forward by Henry Ott. He recently completed and released a three-volume “EMC Troubleshooting Trilogy”, which is now available through Amazon. See web for ordering info. He is widely published and authors a monthly column for the Signal Integrity Journal, has blogged for EDN.com for many years, has a monthly column, EMC Bench Notes, for InCompliance Magazine (starting 2024), writes regularly for EEWorld and continues to write for Interference Technology Magazine. Ken is a senior life member of the IEEE and a longtime member of the EMC Society. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/443500

Distinguished Lecture (Virtual) - Civilized Collaboration: Ethical architectures for enforcing legal requirements and mediating social norms in Human-robot Interaction Prof. Ronald C. Arkin, Georgia Tech, IEEE Fellow Abstract: The ways in which we treat each other, typically underpinned by an ethical theory, serve as a foundation for civilized activity. Bounds and requirements are established for normal and acceptable interactions between humans. If we are to create robotic systems to reside among us, they must also adhere to a set of related values that humans operate under. This talk first describes the importance of such conventions in human-robot interaction, then outlines a way forward including the difficult research questions remaining to be confronted in ethical human robot interaction (HRI). In particular, examples involving architectures using ethical governors, moral emotions, responsibility advisors and theories of mind are described in two quite different contexts: warfare and the maintenance of human dignity in healthcare. Even the role of deception must be considered as an important adjunct to HRI, as it may yield more effective intentional and autonomous social robots if properly deployed. Finally, we can consider how robots may eventually be able to engineer more socially just human beings via nudging and the ethical questions associated with using such devices. Prof. Ronald C. Arkin is Professor Emeritus with the College of Computing at Georgia TechProf. Arkin was named a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology in 2012 and a Distinguished Visitor for the IEEE Computer Society in 2023. He was elected a Fellow of the IEEE in 2003.
