His invention was rejected as too fanciful, but www.ieee.org/about/corporate/annual_report.html the value of unmanned, fully controllable and reusable combat vehicles came of age during the past decade. Planetary rovers, pioneered some 40 years ago, have emerged as an amazing exploration tool. They demonstrate that unmanned missions offer formidable rewards as technologists attempt to answer the most profound scientific question: Are we alone? LED lighting, another innovation cited by IEEE Spectrum, is expected to soon replace incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs. White LEDs last 25 times as long as Edison’s bulbs, and 150 percent longer over compact fluorescent lights — and contain no toxic mercury. We selected a wind farm as our fourth cover photo this year because a modernized electrical delivery system based largely on sustainable energy sources is one of the next areas of significant technological innovation that could be realized.

  • Household DC Networks: State of the Art and Future Prospects
    Rapid Response Energy Brief September 2015 7 Household DC networks: State of the art and future prospects Lead authors: Abhishek Shivakumar (KTH), Bo Normark (KIC InnoEnergy) Authoring team: Manuel Welsch (KTH) Reviewers: Marko Bišćan and Andro Bačan (EIHP) Legal Notice: Responsibility for the information and views set out in this paper lies entirely with the authors. Executive summary This study investigates the potential benefits and feasibility of household DC networks. Unlike the case of AC systems, a well-established set of standards for household DC networks is currently lacking. However, several 1 recommended standards and configurations have been discussed in previous studies. This work reviews some of the most promising suggestions and further analyses those that are most suitable to be implemented. In addition, a comparative study is carried out between a hybrid AC-DC system and a proposed DC configuration, for different selected geographical conditions in the EU. Specifically, the comparative study focuses on energy savings from avoiding conversion losses, and economic payback. The choice of transitioning to DC networks in households is found to dependent on the evolution of electricity consumption of household devices, residential solar PV penetration, and the cost of DC power converters. It is most likely that DC household networks will be taken up in parallel to the current AC system; a hybrid configuration with installations of parallel networks of AC and LVDC distribution systems is a possible “transition solution”. Some recent developments in favour of a transition of DC networks include the launch of USB 3.1 (capable of power delivery of up to 100 W), dramatic fall in costs of solar PV since 2008, and growing support at the EU-level for residential electricity storage through batteries.

Kohli, Region 10 Director 1973 - 1974 Tata Consultancy Services I was Director of Region 10 in the year 1973-74. All my Predecessors at Region 10 were from Japan for two reasons, one was Region 10 Director was selected by the Board and not elected, and second, most of the technology development was taking place in Japan. I had the opportunity to build IEEE Sections, Councils and Student Chapters all over India. I also helped set up the first IEEE Section in South Korea and Singapore. The most significant contribution from my end was to get my colleagues on the Board to understand that most of the Indians and some from other countries would not find it possible to pay full dues of IEEE. During meeting of the Board in December 1974, the Board passed a Resolution to tie for those to provide discount in dues for those with income below a certain level. This helped the professional in developing countries to become member of IEEE. Naturally as their income level improved they started paying the regular dues. This gave tremendous response to IEEE Membership not only in India but also in Africa and some parts of South America. IEEE is a living organisation. It helps to build professional careers and is a source of knowledge on a continuos basis for members even at my age.

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.
