The MIT Club of Northeast Ohio is proud to announce a gala dinner and lecture by MIT Professor Ernest Moniz at the Great Lakes Science Center on Wednesday, December 16th. He will be speaking on how we can use alternative energy to tackle the world's energy problems.

Professor Moniz is the Director of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) and Director of the Laboratory for Energy and the Environment. He served as Under Secretary of the Department of Energy during the Clinton Administration and currently serves on President Obama's Council of Advisors for Science and Technology (PCAST).

Mr. Scheucher develops next generation scalable, intelligent energy systems in his capacity as President and Chief Engineer at Modtech Corp. in Willoughby, Ohio. Having recently developed the world’s first lithium ion cordless tool platform, Modtech is committed to developing an advanced energy technology base in Northeast Ohio and is actively partnering with likeminded organizations in the region.

This presentation will address questions such as, “what promise does the EV hold for the future of transportation”, “what attributes must an EV possess to deliver its full potential”, and “what synergies can be leveraged” from a technical standpoint with an eye toward the influences of the aforementioned systemic factors. The presentation will include live demonstration of a web manageable scalable lithium ion energy platform supporting video surveillance, wireless communications, and e-Bike applications.

As NASA considers reestablishing a human presence on the moon and later sending humans to Mars, power systems will be needed to meet the electrical demands of habitats, rovers, science equipment, and resource utilization facilities. Power requirements are expected to range from 10’s of kilowatts for the early emplacement phase to 100’s of kilowatts for the later operations phase. Technology options include photovoltaic arrays, batteries, fuel cells, radioisotope power systems, and fission power systems.

Mr. Lee S. Mason is a nationally-recognized expert in space power and propulsion systems with 22 years of experience at NASA Glenn Research Center. He has written over 80 technical papers on space systems and technology. He currently holds the role of Principal Investigator (PI) for the Fission Surface Power (FSP) Project under the NASA Exploration Technology Development Program.

Since 1978 the IEEE Sarnoff Symposium has been bringing together a tremendous and rich diversity of telecom experts from industry, universities, and government. The popularity of the Sarnoff Symposium, again being held in the historic Nassau Inn located in the heart of downtown Princeton, continues to grow as the premier forum for researchers, engineers, and business executives in the North East drawing an attendance from all over the world. Besides the technical paper presentations, the Symposium will include tutorials, student paper poster presentations, executive panels, and exhibitions. The Symposium is soliciting state-of-the-art research papers and tutorial proposals.

The IEEE Cleveland Section will meet on Thursday, August 20, 2009, from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM at the Sheep Barn (Case Western Reserve University Farm) for a light meal and presentation:

Wind Energy Technology and Its Adoption by Industry and the Public - presented by Dr. Larry A. Viterna, Technical Director, Great Lakes Energy Institute at Case Western Reserve University.

This presentation covers the principles of measuring high-frequency electrical components with Network Analyzers. You will learn what kinds of measurements are made with Network Analyzers, and how they allow you to characterize your device. The session starts with the concept of reflection and transmission and the associated terminology such as VSWR, reflection Coefficient and S-parameters. RF fundamentals of magnitude and phase, transmission lines and Fourier Analysis will briefly be discussed. The next section covers all the major components in a network analyzer, including the advantages and limitations of different hardware approaches. Error modeling, accuracy enhancement, and various calibration techniques will then be presented.
