• Navigating the Tech Transfer Process for Researchers

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/311734

    IEEE Canada Industry Relations together with the Toronto section present you the following talk. This session will be presented by Jim Banting, Assistant Vice-Principal (Partnerships and Innovation) at Queen’s University. Topics will include understanding your University's IP policy, writing an invention disclosure, working with the technology your transfer office, the importance of a 'title' check (checking to ensure IP rights were not given away in a research contract, for example), market and patentability assessment, drafting and filing a patent application, terms for licensing a technology from University to NewCo, sources of funding (dilutive/non-dilutive), and an overview of the innovation ecosystem (e.g. accelerators, incubators and other programs to support startup growth). Speaker(s): Jim Banting Register: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/311734 Biography: Jim Banting is the Assistant Vice-Principal (Partnerships and Innovation) at Queen's University. His career began as a co-founder of the Queen’s spin-off company named Vaxis Therapeutics. Vaxis was venture capital-funded, grown, and sold to a U.S. specialty pharmaceutical company.  A large portion of Jim's career has entailed a focus on partnerships, licensing, and M&, in the biotech sector in the United States.  He returned to Canada in 2014 to serve as President & CEO of PARTEQ Innovations, the commercialization unit for Queen's, which has since been incorporated into Queen’s University Partnerships and Innovation unit with the office of the VP Research. He holds Ph.D. and B.Sc.H. degrees from Queen's University.

  • C/ID: A Design Methodology for Implementing Nanoscale Analog FET Circuits.

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/314527

    Most of the existing circuit design methodologies are based on iterative methods, which are very time consuming and sometimes far from being optimal. The process of analog circuit design is generally so complex that most designers rely mainly on their own intuition to design and move toward an acceptable design point, which in many cases is based on a long process of trial-and-errors. There are two dominant circuit design methodologies used in academic institutions and industry: (1) Inversion-Coefficient (IC) method, and (2) Gm/IDS (GmID) approach. While IC method is more analytical, GmID require extensive device characterizations in order to create a comprehensive data-base describing device behavior in all modes of operations for different device sizes. Meanwhile, designers need to develop their own optimization scripts to search through all possible design points and select the best fit for their application, as these methodologies are not supported by the common EDA Tools. In this seminar, an improved design methodology will be introduced, which lies somewhere between the two approaches. Called C/IDS, the proposed design methodology requires prior knowledge on only few technology-dependent parameters, which are very easy to extract. Due to its analytical nature, this approach provides comprehensive design insight, while the flow of design can be automatized easily. Several examples will be provided to show effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for implementing energy and power efficient circuits. A set of data points demonstrating how performance of analog circuits evolve with technology scaling will be provided.
