Samantha McKillop, PE, SE will present on her upcoming volunteer work with a non-profit organization called Engineers In Action (EIA). She will be traveling abroad in October to construct a pedestrian suspension bridge for a remote community in Bolivia. This project will improve access to essential resources like education, healthcare, markets and government representation. Access to these services is complicated by the river, which floods 150 days out of the year on average. Roughly 30 children currently use a tree trunk bridge to reach class every day during the rainy season. This unstable crossing prevents access to health care for the elderly and is not adequate to transport farm produce, presenting constant risk that harvests will rot before they can be sold. The new footbridge across the Río Capilla will have a span of 114 feet and will provide a means of safe crossing for pedestrians, motorcycles, wheelbarrows, and livestock. This project will serve the communities of Qaga Huasi, Julpi Arriba, and Tablón, with a total beneficiary population of 750. It will be delivered in direct cooperation with the municipal engineers and the benefiting communities. Further, improved access to fertile land and markets will facilitate economic expansion and encourage population growth in coming years.

This talk will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and electroencephalography (EEG). The first fundamental question discussed will be why we require the assistance of machines despite existing human capabilities. This will be followed by a necessarily incomplete historical narrative on the application of AI to EEG, looking at the impact of advances in software and hardware on the clinical care of patients. This will lead into a discussion of the pitfalls and obstacles that prevent or slow the adoption of AI for EEG analysis. The talk will conclude with speculation about future developments and their potential impact on clinical care.

Doug Norton will give an overview of Austin-based InspireSemi’s disruptive next generation Thunderbird compute accelerator for HPC&AI applications. This RISC-V based “supercomputer-cluster-on-a-chip” packs 1,800 high performance CPU cores (all FP64 double-precision of their own design) onto a single SOC. For maximum/predictable performance and low latency, these CPU cores are all interconnected with their high bandwidth, low-latency mesh interconnect that can connect up to 256 of Thunderbird chips. After 3 years of customer-driven development, the chip is in final verification and will tape out at the end of September to TSMC. He will also share why the team chose to leverage the open hardware RISC-V ISA vs. other options and provide an overview of some of the many initiatives in the thriving RISC-V ecosystem. Speaker(s): Doug Norton Agenda: 6:00 to 6:05 PM - Open for participants to enter and network. 6:05 to 6:10 PM - IEEE LM and CTCN Business meeting and to introduce speaker. 6:10 to 7:30 PM - Formal Program and Q&A.

Schedule 6:00 – Check-in and Networking 6:30 – Dinner Served 7:00 – Presentation 8:00 – Adjourn Summary: Title: A Hierarchical Control Strategy for Grid Services using a Meter-based-Controller: Testbed-Based Validation Description: With the rapidly increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the residential electricity sector, it is important for utilities to identify or manage those behind-the-meter (BTM) DERs synergistically. These DERs may not properly contribute to the benefits of the premises or to the grid if they are not managed optimally; instead, their suboptimal operation may jeopardize grid operations or deprive the grid and the premise from receiving the maximum possible benefits. Besides, there are controllable loads in the premise that can be coordinated with DER operations for the abovementioned purposes. With the advent of grid edge hardware and communication protocols, optimal frameworks for autonomous operation of assets and information exchange between the premise and the utility can provide grid services such as demand response. In this presentation, Shakil will talk about a meter-based-controller that can coordinate residential assets for increased visibility and controllability for the purpose of demand response and home energy management.
