So it is time for me to quit whining and write a column. I’ll be on this plane for another two hours anyway so let’s see what I can do. a little about technology… “Technology... the knack of so arranging the world that we don’t have to experience it.” Max Frisch I was reading something Delightful, written by a friend on the subject of teaching. The point of this bit of text was that there is an ever-increasing amount of information available and more of it than ever is available nearly instantly by electronic means. This means we must teach our students how to find all of the right information and to be discriminating about the quality or veracity of the information. Certainly the Photonics Society must accept a significant portion of the credit (or blame) for this as we have been instrumental in developing technologies exactly suited to this purpose. It is pointless to try and evaluate whether or not this is a good thing. It is of course both. More to the point, it is here to stay. So back to the students… Not so many years ago, we looked for references by surfing the journals in a library. I remember with fondness stopping off at the library on the second floor in Murray Hill after lunch to have a look at the most recent journals left sitting on a cart near the door. Thumbing through the paper copies often led to a brief stop at some paper out - side our field. These days we go to a search engine and type in keywords. If you get the right keywords, you get the right papers. If not, you get too many or too few results. So a new part of education is to teach our students – and ourselves – to search effectively. It follows that, if we are clever, the titles and abstracts to our own papers also now need to be written with an eye toward future searches. I wonder how you ever get exposed to work in other areas. I’m not exactly sure how to recreate the opportunity to stumble onto interesting work just outside our areas of interest. But I expect the answer will be in conferences and choosing to fill your open time with interesting papers in other areas. Some things never change: We need to continually learn new ways for utilizing technology if for no other reason than to teach it to those for whom we are responsible to teach. This and that… It is autumn now and the weather is clearly looking more like winter. There are still some nice days though so don’t forget December 2010 IEEE PhotonIcs socIEty nEWsLEttER 3 to occasionally enjoy them. As I write this, we are in the I should have some interesting things to report on Society glide path for the Annual Meeting in another two weeks or business in the next column. so.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

The FAA’s recent launch of a web-based registration service starts the UAS registration system in an excellent direction. Nevertheless, the scope and scale of the system’s future capabilities remains a concern. The anticipated growth and diversity of UAS use suggests the need for a globally-integrated system more capable than today’s.

    MagNews 21/07/20 Sheffield’s Zi-Qiang Zhu receives prestigious IEEE Tesla Award rofessor Zi-Qiang Zhu from the University of P Sheffield’s Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering has received the prestigious 2021 IEEE Nikola Tesla Award for outstanding contributions to the generation and utilisation of electric power. Qiang was awarded for his research which will increase the UK’s supply of clean and affordable energy, recognising his contributions to the design, modelling, control and application of AC permanent magnet machines and drives. He previously received the 2019 IEEE Industry Application Society Outstanding Achievement Award, for the application of electricity to industry. Qiang, from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, is the Head of the Electrical Machines and Drives (EMD) Research Group, which is a recognised world leader in pioneering research on permanent magnet machines and drives. The Group’s key strengths lie in its integrated fundamental and applied Prof Zi-Qiang Zhu, University of Sheffield research on enabling technologies which are vital to future developments in electrical power Recipient of 2021 IEEE Nikola Tesla Award engineering. Past work with Siemens Gamesa for outstanding contributions to the generation and utilisation of electric power. includes developing novel high reliability, high efficiency, high power density direct-drive permanent magnet generators which helped the company to achieve its goal to be the market leader in offshore wind power. EMD has a proven track record of translating research and development into commercial successes for applications encompassing many different market sectors. An example of this is the long-standing relationship Qiang has with the Midea Group, with whom the Group developed high performance and low cost innovative permanent magnet motors and drives.
