In this lecture a broad review of vehicles for farming operation will be given starting from tillage to crop harvesting. Agriculture and farming vehicles that have significant use of power electronics will be covered such as Exact Emerge Planter for seeding operation. This presentation will cover how power electronics supports crop-care system to exactly apply prescriptions such as fertilizers, pesticides, fungicide, etc. Idea is to create awareness that power electronics professionals could enable increased productivity so that by 2050 over 9.5 billion could have food, fiber, fuel (bio-based), shelter, and an efficient transportation system. This talk will also cover how vehicle electrification enables many functions, forms, and features in off- and on-highway vehicle.

The insatiable growth of datacenter traffic mandates increasing the capacity of cost-effective transceiver technologies to meet the foreseen demand. Competing configurations include Intensity Modulation / Direct Detection (IM/DD) and coherent transceiver architectures. In this presentation we will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with these two options including such topics as: wavelength, reach modulation format, modulator technology, and power consumption. In partnership with the (https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-program)Challenge program at National Research Council (NRC), we invite you to join this virtual seminar series to promote scientific information sharing, discussions, and interactions between researchers. ---- Résumé : La croissance insatiable du trafic dans les centres de données exige l'augmentation de la capacité des technologies d'émetteurs-récepteurs rentables pour répondre à la demande prévue. Les configurations concurrentes comprennent la modulation d'intensité/détection directe (IM/DD) et les architectures d'émetteurs-récepteurs cohérents. Dans cette présentation, nous discuterons des défis et des opportunités associés à ces deux options, y compris des sujets tels que la longueur d'onde, le format de modulation de la portée, la technologie du modulateur et la consommation d'énergie.

This is a weekly session of the CIT Summer Series, with David Alan Grier presenting The Generations of Computing and the Coming Data Age : If you look carefully at the development of computing, you can see clear generational cycles. These cycles are marked by a sharp change of technology and a group of young leaders taking advantage of those changes. There is clearly a period of 20 years in which these leaders rise to prominence in the field before passing command to the next generation. We can point to the mainframe generation of the Fifties, the Software/PC Generation of the 70s, the Internet/Mobile Generation of the 90s. We are clearly nearing the end of the 90s cycle and need to start asking what follows and who will be the next generation. This talk considers the extent to which data will be the next driving technology and the extent to which we are already shifting towards the data generation of leaders.

This is a weekly session of the CIT Summer Series, with Jon Peddle presenting The History of Visual Magic in Computers: How Beautiful Images are Made in CAD, 3D, VR and AR : If you have ever looked at a fantastic adventure or science fiction movie, or an amazingly complex and rich computer game, or a TV commercial where cars or gas pumps or biscuits behaved liked people and wondered, “How do they do that?”, then you’ve experienced the magic of 3D worlds generated by a computer. 3D in computers began as a way to represent automotive designs and illustrate the construction of molecules. 3D graphics use evolved to visualizations of simulated data and artistic representations of imaginary worlds. In order to overcome the processing limitations of the computer, graphics had to exploit the characteristics of the eye and brain, and develop visual tricks to simulate realism. The goal is to create graphics images that will overcome the visual cues that cause disbelief and tell the viewer this is not real. Thousands of people over thousands of years have developed the building blocks and made the discoveries in mathematics and science to make such 3D magic possible, and The History of Visual Magic in Computers is dedicated to all of them and tells a little of their story. It traces the earliest understanding of 3D and then foundational mathematics to explain and construct 3D; from mechanical computers up to today’s tablets. Several of the amazing computer graphics algorithms and tricks came of periods where eruptions of new ideas and techniques seem to occur all at once. Applications emerged as the fundamentals of how to draw lines and create realistic images were better understood, leading to hardware 3D controllers that drive the display all the way to stereovision and virtual reality. Maps the history of the techniques behind science fiction movies, complex and rich computer games, and TV commercials capable of making cars, gas pumps and biscuits behave like human beings.

Space can be a hostile environment for both space system hardware and humans. One important potential threat is the presence of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation present in outer space. Space radiation environment is characterized by a variety of sources, each contributing to a range of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation types. This presentation will go over all aspect of a Radiation Hardness Assurance program, from overview of the radiation sources, their effects on space systems, how to define mission requirements, to a preliminary overview of tolerant design and test methods. ----------- L'espace peut être un environnement hostile à la fois pour le matériel des systèmes spatiaux et pour les humains. La présence de particules chargées et de rayonnements électromagnétiques dans l'espace constitue une menace potentielle importante. L'environnement radiatif de l'espace est caractérisé par une variété de sources, chacune contribuant à une gamme de types de rayonnements ionisants et non ionisants. Cette présentation abordera tous les aspects d'un programme d'assurance de la résistance aux rayonnements, depuis une vue d'ensemble des sources de rayonnements, de leurs effets sur les systèmes spatiaux, de la manière de définir les exigences de la mission, jusqu'à une vue d'ensemble préliminaire de la conception tolérante et des méthodes d'essai.
