IEEE NWF Section Meeting
5:30 PM – 7:00 PM, July 21, 2009 at the
University of Florida
REEF Facility, Shalimar,
FL
In keeping with the spirit to serve
its membership, the IEEE NWF Section is pleased to announce its next
monthly seminar in Shalimar,
FL. This seminar is the sixth in a series of
electrotechnology topics of great interest to the IEEE NWF membership,
other technical professionals, and students in our region. This seminar will be held at the University of Florida Research, and Engineering
Education Facility (REEF). The
technical topic would be presented in a fundamental and tutorial manner
that would help a novice as well as professionals.
TOPIC: The July 2009 topic deals with Nonlinear Behavior of Passive Components at Higher Frequencies. This technical presentation by Dr.
Maqsood Mohammed from Jacobs Technology, TEAS Group at Eglin AFB, FL, will
explore, in a tutorial manner, how linear components exhibit nonlinear
characteristics at higher frequencies.
Hands-on demonstration will be a highlight of the presentation.
PRESENTER: Dr. Maqsood
Mohammed, Technical Fellow, Jacobs Technology. Dr. Mohammed received M.S. and
Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Oklahoma University. Dr. Mohammed is currently a Technical
Fellow in Electromagnetic (EM) Effects and Directed Energy at Jacobs
Technology, where he has been a member of the technical staff for 20
years. Prior to joining Sverdrup, he
worked in process control, medical instrumentation, and computer
peripherals industries. He has also
taught undergraduate courses in electrical engineering as an adjunct
faculty member and advised graduate research work. Dr. Mohammed has developed numerous
one-of-a-kind solutions to complicated electromagnetic problems. His experience includes various
commercial, DoD, and NASA systems.
His expertise also includes independent verification and validation
(IV&V) of EM effects modeling and simulation (M&S) tools.
Dr.
Mohammed has been active in the IEEE EMC Society since 1991. He has also been active at the regional
level, including as the NW Florida Section Chair. In 1992 he conceived and led the EMC
fundamentals tutorial workshop and nurtured it to become the most-attended
workshop at the IEEE EMC-S Annual Symposium. During his tenure as Chair of the EMC-S
Education and Student Activities Committee (1998-2006), he introduced
several new programs such as EMC Fundamentals Tutorial, Student Paper
Contest, Student Design Contest, Symposium Experiment Hardware and Software
(M&S) Demonstrations, University Grant program, and Tutorial
Videos. Dr. Mohammed’s long,
dedicated and exceptional service to the EMC-S community was recognized by
the EMC-S Board and he was awarded the prestigious first ever “Sustained
Service to the EMC Society Award” in 2007.
WHERE: The seminar will be presented at the University of Florida
Research and Engineering Education Facility
(REEF), located at 1350 North
Poquito Road, Shalimar, FL 32579.
WHEN: July 21, 2009, 17:30
– 18:00 – Social 18:00 – 19:00 - Seminar
SPECIAL NOTE: Pizza will be
provided by the IEEE NWF Section
RSVP to: nwf_secretary@ieee.org
or you can also call Doug Cross at 850-332-7900 x105. This technical seminar is free to all
IEEE members with an active IEEE member number.
BACKGROUND:
Due to a ubiquitous increase in high speed digital electronics and
telecommunication devices (such as a cell phone) the importance of
designing high speed electronics has reached a new level. At such high frequencies, several of the
usual simplifying assumptions, true at lower frequencies, are no longer
valid and an electrical engineer must recognize new ways of dealing with
this reality. The electrical
dimensions of a component or a circuit play a crucial role in determining
its behavior. Little things could
mean a lot, especially, if there are parasitic effects at these
frequencies. At high data rates, and
frequencies dominant effects are the key factors to understand a
component’s behavior. For example, a
resistor can act like an inductor or a capacitor, and a capacitor can be
resistive or inductive at some frequencies. These and other similar anomalous
behavior of components will be discussed.
If you have a need to understand how components impact
your circuit or system design or if you simply want to expand your
technical knowledge in this area to improve your marketability, you owe it
to yourself and you cannot afford to miss this opportunity to enhance your
skills through this tutorial and hands-on demonstration-based
seminar. Here is the detail: Please RSVP with the IEEE NWF Section
Secretary, Doug Cross, by sending him an email at nwf_secretary@ieee.org. Knowing the number of attendees will help
us plan for the food during the seminar.

IEEE Computer & Communications Joint
Society (C2JS) Meeting
The IEEE Northwest
Florida Section's Computer & Communications Joint Society invites you
to a technical presentation about disaster planning and recovery in Pensacola, FL. If you are interested in knowing how to
establish effective disaster plans and recovery procedures on a minimal
budget, you cannot afford to miss this presentation. The material will be presented in a
tutorial manner and will address the needs of novice as well as seasoned
professionals. The presentation will
provide an overview of how to utilize open source products to establish
backup and recovery solutions, implement mobile development platforms, and
establish guidelines and policies for handling emergency response.
Date and time: June 30, 2009 – Social starts at 5:30 pm, the presentation will
start at 6 pm
Location: University
Commons (Bldg 22), Nautilus
Chamber (Rm 255) at the University
of West Florida (Pensacola, FL)
Topic: Fundamentals
of Disaster Planning & Recovery for Information Technology Operations
