The inaugural IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit presents a unique opportunity to meet, mingle, and network with peers and some of the top technology “giants” in the world. We have created a dynamic one-day event to showcase the breadth of engineering by bringing innovators, visionaries, and leaders of technology to the Silicon Valley area to discuss what is imminent, to explore what is possible, and to discover what these emerging areas mean for tomorrow. The day sessions will look to the future of the industry and the impact engineers will have on serving the global community. The Summit’s activities culminate with this evening’s IEEE Honors Ceremony Gala. Tonight’s awards ceremony truly refl ects the universal nature of IEEE, as the visionaries and innovators we celebrate herald from around the world. We are proud of the collective technical prowess of our members and appreciate the rich diversity of the engineering, scientifi c, and technical branches in which our colleagues excel. At IEEE, we are focused on what is next—enabling innovation and the creation of new technologies.

  • Internet Message Access Protocol from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia "IMAP" Redirects Here
    Internet Message Access Protocol From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "IMAP" redirects here. For the antipsychotic, see Fluspirilene. Internet message access protocol (IMAP) is one of the two most prevalent Internet standard protocols for e- mail retrieval, the other being the Post Office Protocol (POP).[1] Virtually all modern e-mail clients and mail servers support both protocols as a means of transferring e-mail messages from a server. [edit]E-mail protocols The Internet Message Access Protocol (commonly known as IMAP) is an Application Layer Internet protocol that allows an e-mail client to access e-mail on a remote mail server. The current version, IMAP version 4 revision 1 (IMAP4rev1), is defined by RFC 3501. An IMAP server typically listens on well-known port 143. IMAP over SSL (IMAPS) is assigned well-known port number 993. IMAP supports both on-line and off-line modes of operation. E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them. This and other characteristics of IMAP operation allow multiple clients to manage the same mailbox. Most e-mail clients support IMAP in addition to POP to retrieve messages; however, fewer email services support IMAP.[2]IMAP offers access to the mail storage. Clients may store local copies of the messages, but these are considered to be a temporary cache. Incoming e-mail messages are sent to an e-mail server that stores messages in the recipient's email box. The user retrieves the messages with an e-mail client that uses one of a number of e-mail retrieval protocols.

Academic inventors and innovators elected to the rank of NAI Fellow are nominated by their peers for outstanding contributions to innovation in areas such as patents and licensing, innovative dis- covery and technology, significant impact on society, and support and enhancement of innova- tion. The nomination packets are reviewed by the NAI Fellows Selection Committee. The number of Fellows elected each year is dependent on the quality of the nominations submitted. Committee members may not vote on a nominee from their institution. Decisions of the Selection Committee are final. If a nominee is not elected to Fellow status, he or she may be nominated and selected at a future time.
