In the realm of Internet of Things (IoT), sensors play a pivotal role in gathering data for a plethora of applications, ranging from home automation to industrial monitoring. However, one of the critical challenges hindering the widespread adoption of sensors is the need for reliable power sources, especially in extensive sensor networks. In this seminar, we delve into an innovative solution poised to revolutionize IoT sensor networks – Batteryless IoT Solution Based on Direct Conversion Sensors. By seamlessly integrating wireless communication with intelligent sensing, we've engineered a groundbreaking approach that circumvents the limitations imposed by conventional power sources. Key Highlights: 1. Challenges in Sensor Network Powering: Explore the hurdles associated with powering sensor networks and the implications for IoT deployment. 2. Direct Conversion Sensors: Uncover the principles and advantages of direct conversion sensors in mitigating power constraints. 3. Integration of Wireless Communication: Understand the synergy between wireless communication protocols and intelligent sensing for seamless data transmission. 4. Creating Battery-Free Wireless Sensor Nodes: Learn about the engineering behind the development of battery-free wireless sensor nodes and their potential applications. 5. Future Implications: Discuss the broader implications of batteryless IoT solutions and their role in shaping the future of IoT ecosystems.

[]Silicon Valley is commonly acknowledged as the tech capital of the world. How did Silicon Valley come into being, and what can we learn? The story goes back to local Hams trying to break RCA's tube patents, Stanford "angel" investors, the sinking of the Titanic, WW II and radar, and the SF Bay Area infrastructure that developed – these factors pretty much determined that the semiconductor and IC industries would be located in the Santa Clara Valley, and that the Valley would remain the world’s innovation center as new technologies emerge, and be the model for innovation worldwide. This talk will give an exciting and colorful history of development and innovation that began in Palo Alto in 1909. You'll meet some of the colorful characters – Cyril Elwell, Lee De Forest, Bill Eitel, Charles Litton, Fred Terman, David Packard, Bill Hewlett, Bill Shockley and others – who came to define our worldwide electronics industries through their inventions and process development. You'll understand some of the novel management approaches that have become the hallmarks of its tech startups. Many of these attributes can be found in other technology hubs; however, the SF Bay Area has five generations of experience, as well as a "critical mass" of talent, making it difficult for others to catch up. In this talk, the key attributes will be illustrated and analyzed, for consideration by other tech hubs, and for entrepreneurs interested in creating their own start-ups or understanding them. Speaker(s): Paul Wesling, Agenda: The event will start at 11:30AM with a short networking interaction. The talk will then begin at 12:00PM and conclude around 1-1:15PM, with questions for the last 10-15 minutes of the talk. Food and drink will be provided. Room: MS4171, Bldg: Medical Sciences Building, University of Toronto, St. George Campus, 1 King’s College Circle, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 1A8, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/409693

Abstract: Photonic startup business success relies heavily on the uniqueness and quality of its technical know-how. Success also depends heavily on a range of skills and activities beyond technical prowess. Business aspects such as marketing, sales, team leadership, commercial opportunity development, proposal preparation, program management, quality control, budgeting, funding and financial planning among others, are crucially important. This presentation will focus on dissecting all the skills and activities required for photonic startup business success. The presenter will attempt to do this through examples drawn from his own experience as a technical and business practitioner in large and small photonic companies.
