General Overview of EMC Requirements for Medical Devices
General Overview of EMC Requirements for Medical Devices
Abstract Uncover the critical distinctions between Medical and Generic EMC. Discover how product-specific standards, such as 60601-2-xx, modify the Generic Medical standard (60601-1-2) and gain insights into the general EMC requirements found in most EN/IEC-based medical standards. General overview of: · Medical EMC and how it differs from Generic EMC · How product specific Medical EMC standards (i.e., 60601-2-xx) modify the Generic Medical (60601-1-2) · Overview of general EMC requirements in most EN/IEC-based medical standards Speaker(s): Steve Behm Agenda: Agenda: 10 am to 10.05 am– Introduction by Rajen Shah, Chair IEEE EMBS 10.05 am to 11.00 am – Webinar by Steve Behm Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/433232
IEEE Tech Talk: Introduction to Practical Problem-Solving
IEEE Tech Talk: Introduction to Practical Problem-Solving
Engineers are paid to solve problems. Like most things in the engineering world, a consistent and repeatable process helps improve effectiveness and speed. The content of that process varies based on the complexity of the issue being addressed. At one end of the spectrum are problems with known causes and known solutions. Simple execution of the solution is what's needed. At the other end are situations where the objective may not even be known. Detailed in-depth methods like Design for Lean and Design for Six Sigma apply to these complex problems. This talk will describe a method that sits between the endpoints of the problem-solving continuum, a logic-based approach useful for low to medium-complexity problems. Most issues that engineers face fall in this range. Please register for the event using the link provided below. No CEUs or PDHs will be offered for this event.

Advances in Reverb and Anechoic Chamber Measurements: Half-Day Technical Workshop with Standards Updates and LIVE Demo
Advances in Reverb and Anechoic Chamber Measurements: Half-Day Technical Workshop with Standards Updates and LIVE Demo
This workshop features detailed presentations by global experts on reverberation and anechoic chambers. Discover (or revisit) the essential aspects of reverberation chambers (RC) measurements, including their basic principles, field distribution modeling, and measurement uncertainty determination including some latest discoveries in metrology aspects of RCs. Learn about the challenges of testing at frequencies above 18 GHz, which have been conducted up to 231 GHz without a standardized validation method. Historically, sites validated below 18 GHz were assumed to be acceptable for higher frequencies, but this assumption lacked the support of data. With the introduction of transmitters operating at 25 GHz, 38 GHz, and higher frequencies, accurate site validation has become increasingly important. ANSI C63® and CISPR are working on developing site validation methods for frequencies from 18 GHz to 40 GHz to improve measurement accuracy and consistency. The ANSI C63 standard includes considerations for both anechoic and reverberation chambers. Join us to gain insights from two experts on these topics. Plus, as an added bonus for the technical program, learn about a novel technique for millimeter-wave (30-300 GHz) measurements and how this impacts the EMC community. NOTE: There is no cost to attend this meeting, and all IEEE members and guests are welcome! However, you MUST register in advance in order to secure seating and lunch. Attendance is limited! Seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Using Predictive Engineering for Multiple Response Optimization of an Integrated Circuit
Using Predictive Engineering for Multiple Response Optimization of an Integrated Circuit
Engineers traditionally use deterministic modeling in their tasks, but challenges for developing and optimizing products and processes inspire us to venture beyond deterministic to probabilistic or stochastic modeling. In this continuation from the prior presentation, a case study applying predictive engineering for the optimization of 4 requirements for an integrated circuit (Integrated Alternator Regulator for automobiles) will be shared. Deterministic models were derived by using design of experiments (DOE) and response surface modeling (RSM) in concert with circuit simulations. These deterministic models were melded with probabilistic modeling using Monte Carlo Simulation and Variance Transmission. Yield Surface Modeling™ will be introduced and shared and applied for stochastic co-optimization of the four requirements of the design. Brief summaries and overviews of other applications of predictive engineering to integrated circuit design stochastic optimization will be shared.

Grand Coulee Dam Tour
Grand Coulee Dam Tour
Summary: Built by the Army Corps of Engineers between 1933 and 1942, Grand Coulee Dam was the largest concrete structure in the world for decades. With the expansion of the third power station in 1974 made it the largest power plant in the world at the time. It still remains the largest power plant in the USA with a capacity of over 6 GW in three power stations. It also has a large pumped storage facility of several hundred MW that links to the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. As the center-piece of the Columbia Basin Project, the dam's reservoir supplies water for the irrigation of 671,000 acres. Tour Summary: The tour will start at 12:00 noon at the Visitor Center where we will receive a safety briefing. We will then get into USBR vans and head to the Crown Point Viewing Area, North Dam, Banks Lake Headworks, Pumping Generating Plant, 3rd Powerhouse and top of dam. Then back to the vans and visitor center by 4:30. Visit Requirements: · This is a hard hat, VIP tour of an operating power plant so closed toe shoes and sensible clothing is required.
