IEEE LONG ISLAND SECTION CHAIR’S MESSAGE John F. Vodopia, Chair, IEEE Long Island Section

My first month as IEEE Long Island Section Chair appears to have come and gone at hyper speed, where my guess is that February, with 3 fewer days, likely will pass at a similarly perceived rate. At any rate, February 9th is the start of Engineers Week, where the Engineers Joint Committee of Long Island is hosting the famed “Engineers Week Seminar Series” on Thursday, February 12, 2015, at the Holiday Inn in Plainview. Please see the announcement in this edition of Pulse or review the program at the link in our Calendar (IEEE.LI).

Turning now to our 2015 Awards Banquet. IEEE Long Island is hosting same on Thursday, March 19, 2015 at The Inn At Fox Hollow in Woodbury, which served us pretty well in 2013 and 2014. Our keynote speaker this year is Dr. Yacov Shamash, the Vice President for Economic Development and Dean of Stony Brook University’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. We believe Dr. Shamash’s talk will focus on START-UP NY (startup.ny.gov) , which is new initiative from New York State that provides major incentives for businesses to relocate, start up or significantly expand (in NYS) through affiliations with public and private universities and colleges, such as SUNY at Stony Brook.

The Awards Banquet is our way of honoring those who earned their awards, and thanking all the deserving volunteers that make the Section what it is. Volunteers are crucial to the success of our Section. If you have the time, wish to work with us and are not already involved, please take a look at our section’s website on IEEE.LI and browse to the societies’ and committees’ pages. I also encourage you to attend the monthly Executive Committee meetings; the next one is being held on February 23rd at Telephonics in Farmingdale. There is no better place to discover what is happening in the section and how you can get involved in one of the societies. Just send me an email before you attend so I can get you name added to the attendance list.

2015 also marks the 11th Annual Long Island Systems, Applications and Technology (LISAT) Conference, which is being held on Friday May 1, 2015 at Farmingdale State College of the State University of New York. Please see the announcement in this edition of Pulse, review the program at the link in our Calendar (IEEE.LI) or go to www.ieee/lisat and follow the registration link.

Now, I wish to revisit my suggestion for slightly modifying the format of our monthly Executive Committee (ExComm) meetings in last month’s edition of the Pulse. Please recall that I suggested we introduce a new 10-minute forum in our ExCom meeting agenda discussing “Improving Member Experience.” If you can or wish to participate, please bring your suggestions. If the forum works, we can keep it and for that matter, we might make a suggestion for one or more 10-minute forums in the hopes of more effectively using our time together. For example, recalling that that the START-UP NY program requires aligning any potential startup business that wish to take advantage of the initiative while working with Stony Brook University to align with Stony Brook’s academic mission (see www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/startupny/about/overview.html), we might want to have a 10 minute forum to discuss how Long Island businesses (for example, startups) could leverage the wealth of research and support resources available at Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Labs. I imagine some of you might have comments on any roadblocks that might impede same, where we might speak as one voice to bring our suggestions to the University and/or BNL in an effort to better streamline or leverage what might be available. It would at a minimum get them to recognize that we are out there as active partners in the business community, not only as IEEE but as a group of like-minded voters in the local, state and national elections.

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve, and please reach out to me if I can help you in any way. John F. Vodopia Chair, IEEE Long Island Section [email protected]

IEEE PAGE 4 FEBRUARY 2015 VOLUME 62, NUMBER 2 LONG ISLAND SECTION LONG ISLAND’S ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC HISTORY By Jesse Taub

Long Island’s Electrical and Electronic History By Jesse Taub, IEEE Long Island Section Historian

We continue our survey of Pulse issues from 1982. Starting with May, the talk at the Section’s meeting was “Testing Automation – The Direction of Testing Technology”. The speaker was Charles Esposito of Grumman Aerospace. A demonstration followed the talk. Automated testing is commonplace today but was still a new idea then.

The Antennas and Propagation group had a talk on “Phased Array Antennas for Satellite Communications” given by Dr. N. Amitay of Bell Telephone Laboratories. It highlighted the need for steerable beams in order to direct communi- cation to the desired ground terminals. Satellite Communication was still an emerging field. The Microwave Theory and Techniques (MTT) group’s meeting featured a talk on “Dielectric Resonator Oscillators” by Allen Reynolds of Narda. This was a new topic then that was spurred on by the development of high dielectric constant ceramics having low loss tangents and excellent temperature stability.

The June Section meeting’s talk was “Wideband-Printed Circuit Array for Troposcatter Communications” by Edward Newman of Wheeler Laboratories. While troposcatter is not of high interest today, the printed circuit techniques, that were described, are still relevant. The Sonics and Ultrasonics Group had a talk on “Bragg-Cell Optical Heterodyne Channelized Receiver” by Dr. Frederick Freyere of Hazeltine. Bragg cells were capable of separating received signals of different frequen- cies by spatial means. It was an interesting alternate to the use of a filter bank to do this separation.

Much like today, there were no July and August Pulse issues. The September Section meeting’s topic was “Distributed Processing Systems and Computer Aided Design”. The speaker was Thomas Newman of Grumman Aerospace. It described several applications for distributed signal processing on military aircraft. The September issue also had an article on the status of the plans for the 1983 Electro Conference. This was an annual technical meeting organized by Region 1. Electro eventually ended due to greater interest by IEEE members in more specialized symposia, usually organized by the Technical Societies.

The Section’s October meeting featured a talk on “Microwave Landing Systems (MLS) for Precision Approach” given by D. M. Evans of Hazeltine. MLS was an active area on Long Island. AIL Systems had also developed a system. The MTT group’s speaker was John Mruz of North Hills Electronics on “Microwave Integrated Circuits (IC’s).” This was still the era when micro- wave IC’s were still hybrids where transistors diodes and chip capacitors were bonded on the passive microwave circuits. Ten years later, microwave monolithic technology (MMIC) was perfected and circuits were then made in chip forms.

The Computer Society announced a course on “Introduction to ADA”. ADA was a new structured program software language that DOD mandated for use on its contracts. The course was given by Charles Mooney of Grumman Aerospace. This issue also noted that the IEEE had 2000,000 members. We now have 400,000; much of this new growth came from overseas. Looking at these issues indicates that our Section was having meetings where much of the new technology was highlighted. This tells me that our membership was well served. A perusal of recent Pulse issues shows that we are continuing in this tradition - which, in my opinion, is a strong reason to be an IEEE member.

As always, I thank Rod Lowman, our former historian for saving these Pulse issues and James Colotti, our webmaster for putting many of them on IEEE Long Island section’s website, IEEE.LI.

37th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society Biomedical Engineering: a Bridge to improve the Quality of Health Care and the Quality of Life embc.embs.org/2015/ MiCo, Milano Conference Center, Milano, Italy August 25-29th, 2015

The 37th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) will take place in Milano, Italy, in the period August 25th-29th, 2015. It will be a remarkable event as it is the first time that Italy will host a conference of the world’s largest member-based scientific Society in Biomedical Engineering (BME): at the same time, it will be a unique oppor- tunity to come in touch with the actual BME activities all over the world. The Theme of the Conference is: “Biomedical Engineering: a bridge to improve the Quality of Health Care and the Quality of Life”, thus remarking the central role of BME in the improvement and innovation of health care (with a direct impact on the quality of life) but also focusing on how to reach and maintain a “wellness” status through proper and advanced technologies, devices and protocols. The Conference will take place in MiCo - Milano Congressi, recently rebuilt (2011) and located in downtown Milano, among the largest conference facilities in Europe and worldwide, catering for up to 18,000 people in 70 or so fully appointed conference rooms.
