Large Microwave Antenna Arrays for Radio Astronomy and Space Communications
Wed, Mar 29, 2006 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
DR. SANDER WEINREB
California Institute of Technology
ETA KAPPA NU SEMINAR SERIESAbstract: Much greater collecting area for microwave signals impinging on Earth is needed for three major objectives: 1) wide bandwidth communication to manned or robotic space probes at planetary distances, 2) radio astronomy observations which provide fundamental information about the origin and composition of the universe, and 3) search for radio communications due to extraterrestrial civilizations. In the past increases in collecting area were achieved by increasing the diameter of large radio telescopes – essentially more steel. The current system approach to this problem is to replace the large mechanical structures with innovative use of electronics, computers, and mass production of small antennas. Current large array projects will be described and technology developments in the areas of wideband antenna feeds and very low noise amplifiers will be discussed. Bio:Sander Weinreb's interests and expertise are in the area of instrumentation for radio astronomy and communications. He introduced digital correlation techniques into radio astronomy (1960), was a co-discoverer of the first molecular line (OH, 1963), led the electronics system design for the Very Large Array (1966-1975), and introduced and developed cooled field-effect transistor amplifiers for radio astronomy (1978-1988). Since leaving NRAO in 1989 he has worked on microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs) applied to military applications at Martin Marietta, astronomy applications at U. of Massachusetts, and space-borne meteorological applications at JPL. At JPL he is currently leading the design of the electronics of a large microwave array for the NASA Deep Space Network. He received BS (1958) and Ph.D (1963) degrees from MIT and is presently a Principal Staff Member at JPL and a Faculty Associate at Caltech. http://www-scf.usc.edu/~hkn/Location: John Stauffer Science Lecture Hall (SLH) - 100

Walt Disney Imagineering
Wed, Mar 29, 2006 @ 05:30 PM - 07:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
One of the biggest challenges on any fast track project is timely
preconstruction visualization and assurance that the design release
plan continues to support an optimal construction schedule. Risk
potential can be decreased using timely 4D visualization. 4D
scheduling allows the project team and contractors to quickly
visualize installation sequences on a complex project by integrating
thousands of drawings into composite 3D time framed images and
determine the most efficient installation sequences and crane access
to optimize their schedules.Expedition Everest is a high speed train ride adventure through the
majestic Himalayan mountains and over creaking trestles into the
haunts of the legendary Yeti. The Expedition Everest project team had
to closely coordinate construction of the Nepalese Village, the 200
foot tall mountain, the ride system, and the surrounding area
development to maintain crane and installation access.More detail on the construction of the Expedition Everest project can
be found at:http://www.wdwmagic.com/beastly.htmhttp://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/attractionDetail?

The Killer Application & Grids P2P and Web Services: The Killer Technologies
Wed, Mar 29, 2006 @ 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
As a new generation of software companies (Google, eBay, Amazon, Electronic Arts) rise to power, they are enabling electronic activities of all sorts in Science, Engineering, Business, Government and social communities. The technology
core includes P2P Networks (as in Kazaa driving Skype) and Grids (from e-Science) and Web services from the previous generation of software companies that often focused on new enterprise software where compatibility with existing major software packages limits innovation.
e-moreorlessanything corresponds to linkage of distributed sensors (web-cams, ATM machines, plane/car engine monitors, seismometers), instruments, people, computers, data repositories to form the global teams needed for tomorrows science, defense, business and fun. We will discuss many applications and technologies.About the Speaker:
Geoffrey Fox is a Professor of Computer Science, Informatics, and Physics and Director of Community Grid Laboratory; Pervasive Technology Laboratories at Indiana University. (More importantly, he has a British accent.)
