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.

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.

  • Abstract and Index and Web Discovery Services IEEE Partners
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract and Index and Web Discovery Services IEEE Partners Introduction This document is intended to provide a general overview of the abstract and indexing services and web discovery services that take in IEEE content. While this report is intended to provide readers with information on IEEE content indexed and in what service, there are several things to keep in mind: Services identified in this report do not cover everything in IEEE’s Xplore Digital Library either because IEEE does not provide all content to these services, or because only certain content was selected by a partner. Some services add and delete titles regularly, or include only select articles, in order to maintain a database that is relevant to their audience. While IEEE may provide a data feed for a particular subscription package (noted in the tables below), partners are not required to index all content. Most partners update their products at varying intervals and many Abstract and Indexing Services do not include corrected or updated article information. As a result, and given that these services and our agreements with these partners can and do change, readers of this report are encouraged to contact Krista Thom, Publishing Relations Program Specialist at [email protected] with specific questions. Abstract & Indexing Services Abstract and indexing services maintain databases, often subject-specific, which users can search to find relevant content. The data included in these services may be peer-reviewed journals, books, reports, and other types of content. Unlike web scale discovery services, these services collect metadata (including abstracts) from publishers and other organizations into large repositories or indexes.
