Join us for distinguished MTT guest lecturer Jeffrey Nanzer and his presentation on Distributed Phased Arrays: Challenges and Recent Progress. There has been significant research devoted to the development of distributed microwave wireless systems in recent years. The progression from large, single-platform wireless systems to collections of smaller, coordinated systems on separate platforms enables significant benefits for radar, remote sensing, communications, and other applications. The ultimate level of coordination between platforms is at the wavelength level, where separate platforms operate as a coherent distributed system. Wireless coherent distributed systems operate in essence as distributed phased arrays, and the signal gains that can be achieved scale proportionally to the number of transmitters squared multiplied by the number of receivers, providing potentially dramatic increases in wireless system capabilities. Distributed array coordination requires accurate control of the relative electrical states of the nodes. Generally, such control entails wireless frequency synchronization, phase calibration, and time alignment, but for remote sensing operations, phase control also requires high-accuracy knowledge of the relative positions of the nodes in the array to support beamforming. This lecture presents an overview of the challenges involved in distributed phased array coordination, and describes recent progress on microwave technologies that address these challenges. Requirements for achieving distributed phase coherence at microwave frequencies are discussed, including the impact of component non-idealities such as oscillator drift on beamforming performance. Architectures for enabling distributed beamforming are reviewed, along with the relative challenges between transmit and receive beamforming. Microwave and millimeter-wave technologies enabling wireless phase-coherent synchronization are discussed, focusing on technologies for high-accuracy internode ranging, wireless frequency transfer, and high-accuracy time alignment. The lecture concludes with a discussion of open challenges in distributed phased arrays, and where microwave technologies may play a role.

Parkinson’s Disease affects approximately 1 million Americans, half of whom are undiagnosed. There is no cure and existing treatment effectiveness declines as the disease progresses. Recent research at Stanford University has shown promise in using specific patterns of vibration applied to the fingertips to provide a lasting reduction in symptoms without the typical side effects of medication. This talk will cover an introduction to Parkinson’s disease, describe the Vibro-tactile Coordinated Reset (VCR) research and results obtains by Dr. Peter Tass at Stanford, and efforts by a group, of which I am part, to replicate the Stanford research to benefit our friends and family. I will show several iterations of our hardware for the electronics, vibrating tactors, and the gloves that couple the vibration to the patient’s fingertips. This includes 3D printing of finger “cups” to hold the vibrating tactors, wired and wireless versions of the control electronics and a unique solution to obtain sub-1millisecond timing accuracy across a Bluetooth connection linking a pair of wireless VCR gloves. This will also be streamed online on GoToWebinar.

Neutral resistance grounding has been utilized to make power systems safer for more than 70 years. There are conditions where a resistively grounded power system can become unsafe, and those instances can be discovered through continuous monitoring of the NGR resistance value and parasitic loss impedance. Upon measuring a hazardous condition, the power system can be de-energized. Continuous monitoring devices have been developed and deployed but have shortcomings when measuring the value of the neutral grounding resistor and non-fundamental frequency ground-fault currents. The authors describe a novel monitoring system to accurately measure the resistance value of the neutral grounding resistor (NGR), the impedance of parasitic losses between the neutralizing point and protective-earth, evaluate non-fundamental frequency ground-fault current, and reduce nuisance tripping. The elements of the proposed device are discussed and analyzed in detail. Results from testing components of the proposed method are provided and discussed.

Sensors are required to detect obstacles near a robot manipulator. While depth cameras are the most common scene perception technology, we look at alternatives that give information originating from the robot body itself (on-board sensors). For robots to be physically located within human–laden environments, advances are needed in both control and sensing technology. We will look at formulations and execution of real-time control methods for robot manipulator collision avoidance around dynamic objects and how to perceive objects in real-time.

Abstract: For decades, Moore’s Law has delivered the ability to integrate an exponentially increasing number of devices in the same silicon area at a roughly constant cost. This has enabled tremendous levels of integration, where the capabilities of computer systems that previously occupied entire rooms can now fit on a single integrated circuit. In recent times, the steady drum beat of Moore’s Law has started to slow down. Whereas device density historically doubled every 18-24 months, the rate of recent silicon process advancements has declined. While improvements in device scaling continue, albeit at a reduced pace, the industry is simultaneously observing increases in manufacturing costs. In response, the industry is now seeing a trend toward reversing direction on the traditional march toward more integration. Instead, multiple industry and academic groups are advocating that systems on chips (SoCs) be “disintegrated” into multiple smaller “chiplets.” This talk details the technology challenges that motivated AMD to use chiplets, the technical solutions we developed for our products, and how we expanded the use of chiplets from individual processors to multiple product families. From this foundation, we will look toward the future of chiplet and 3D architectures that will require multi-disciplinary innovation across package technology, silicon design, accelerators, and the software to exploit them.

TALK INTRODUCTION Trained as a cognitive scientist, Roberta Klatzky has conducted research in how people perceive through the sense of touch and how perception guides fundamental actions such as grasping objects and navigating in space. Her work on these topics led to collaborative interactions with engineers, with the goal of applying basic science in engineered systems. Among her projects are navigation aids for the blind featuring haptic and auditory spatial cueing, surgical interventions guided by spatially projected medical images, and rehabilitation environments using feedback incentives to increase applied force and range of motion. Her work has evaluated novel forms of haptic feedback such as magnetically induced forces and surfaces capable of real-time friction modulation. Using such examples, Klatzky will talk about how mutual benefits arise from interactions between basic science and applied engineering.
