SUMMARY:Integrated Broadband Analog Delay Circuits
DESCRIPTION:Recording: Click here to view Part I of the talk. \n\nThe humble analog delay is simple in principle but complicated in practice. Analog delays are useful in analog filters\, distributed amplifiers\, and time-interleaved or pipelined analog signal processing. Unfortunately\, it can be quite tricky to delay a continuous-time broadband analog waveform without distortion on an integrated circuit! Over the past two decades\, our lab has repeatedly encountered the need for integrated broadband analog delays and has done much work on their implementation. Now that CMOS technologies can readily process analog signals with 10’s of GHz of bandwidth\, analog delays less than one nanosecond are being used in new and creative ways. This talk reviews delay approximation and the implementation of delays from 10’s to 100’s of picoseconds having bandwidths up to 10’s of GHz. Case studies are presented using the analog delay circuits in FIR and IIR filters for wireline transceivers and in high-speed data converters. \nPart I\nDate: 10 Mar 2021 \nTime: 04:10 PM to 05:00 PM \nLocation: Virtual \nOrganizer(s): IEEE Toronto SSCS \nContact: Toronto Section Chapter\, SSC37 \nPart II\nDate: 16 Mar 2021 \nTime: 04:10 PM to 05:40 PM \nLocation: Virtual \nOrganizer(s): IEEE Toronto SSCS \nContact: Toronto Section Chapter\, SSC37 \n\nSpeaker(s): Anthony Chan Carusone \nBiography: Prof. Tony Chan Carusone has taught and researched integrated circuits and systems at the University of Toronto since completing his Ph.D. there in 2002. He and his graduate students have received seven best-paper awards at leading conferences for their work on chip-to-chip and optical communication circuits\, analog-to-digital conversion\, and precise clock generation. Prof. Chan Carusone was a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society 2015-2017 and currently serves on the Technical Program Committee of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference. He has co-authored the latest editions of the classic textbooks “Analog Integrated Circuit Design” along with D. Johns and K. Martin\, and “Microelectronic Circuits” along with A. Sedra and K.C. Smith. He was Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs in 2009\, an Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits 2010-2017 and is now Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Letters.

SUMMARY:Recent Developments in the Design of Charging Systems for Electric Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mohamed Z. Youssef Ph.D\, Associate Professor University of Ontario\, UOIT\, will present and discuss application of bidirectional power distribution and charging system for electric type vehicles. \nDay & Time: Friday\, December 18\, 2020\n6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. \nSpeaker: Mohamed Z. Youssef of University of Ontario Institute of Technology \nOrganizer: IEEE Toronto Section IES \nLocation: Virtual – Google Meet \nContact: Mohamed Youssef \nTopic: Rail Technology Forum: Electric Vehicle Infra Structure \nTechnology Synopsis: Electric vehicles are a rapidly growing segment of transportation industry owning much of this progress to the improved technologies\, public inclination towards minimizing carbon footprint\, and government policy initiatives. Currently this industry is undergoing a technological transformation by investing heavily in charging stations infrastructure to improve the vehicle travel range. The charging station market is segmented on the basis of type\, end user\, and geography. This presentation discusses an integrated fast charging system that connects electric vehicles (VE)\, power grid\, off-grid energy storage and renewable energy sources into one distributed system through a smart management of power and available energy\, to enable clean\, sustainable operation at high levels of performance. The experimental results of a lab prototype for electric vehicles (buses) are presented. A design case of electric bus deployed for the city of Mississauga is developed and demonstrated with excellent trial run results. \nRegister: Please visit https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/250263 to register.

SUMMARY:IEEE Toronto Virtual AGM 2020
DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Toronto Section is happy to announce our first ever online IEEE Toronto section Annual General Meeting (AGM).  Since we are not restricted to a limited number of physical participants\, we are happy to open this even up to all IEEE Toronto members\, as well as any guests who they would like to invite.  Please feel free to pass this information along to any interested parties. \nWe will hear from the IEEE Toronto section\, IEEE Canada\, and IEEE Global representatives\, as well as keynote speakers from local industry.  Awards will be presented to oustanding contributors for the past year\, and prizes will be available for all attendees.  You must register for the event using the link on this page in order to qualify for prizes.  Only IEEE members will be eligible for prizes. \nDate: Friday\, November 13\, 2020\n6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. \nLocation: Virtual – WebEx \nRegister: Please visit https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/241427 for the registration link and event link. \nAgenda: \n\n6:00pm: Introduction and online meeting details\n6:05pm: Section Chair report from Ali Nabavi\n6:15pm: IEEE Global update from Kathy Land\n6:30pm: Prize draw\n6:35pm: Keynote presentation from Dr. Inmar Givoni\, Director of Engineering at Uber Advanced Technology Group\, Toronto\n7:05pm: IEEE Canada update from Maike Luiken\n7:20pm: Keynote presentation from Dr. Martin Snelgrove\, CTO at Untether AI\n7:50pm: Awards presentation and prize draw\n\nKeynote Speakers: Dr. Inmar Givoni\, Dr. Martin Snelgrove \nTopic: AI for Self-Driving Cars (Dr. Inmar Givoni) \nAt the Uber ATG R&D centre\, we are working on advanced state-of-the-art models for solving a large range of problems in self driving – perception and prediction\, motion planning\, mapping and localization\, sensor simulation\, and more. All that work is publicly available through academic conferences and venues. In this talk I will cover some exciting recent advances and also discuss the path to production – how we go from research prototypes to deployed systems on vehicle. \nTopic: Building Cool Silicon in the Frozen North (Dr. Matin Snelgrove) \nBiographies: \n\n\n\nDr. Inmar Givoni\nInmar Givoni is a Director of Engineering at Uber Advanced Technology Group\, Toronto\, where she leads a team whose mission is to bring from research and into production cutting-edge deep-learning models for self-driving vehicles. She received her PhD (Computer Science) in 2011 from the University of Toronto\, specializing in machine learning\, and was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge. She worked at Microsoft Research\, Altera (now Intel)\, Kobo\, and Kindred at roles ranging from research scientist to VP\, Big Data\, applying machine learning techniques to various problem domains and taking concepts from research to production systems. She is an inventor of several patents and has authored numerous top-tier academic publications in the areas of machine learning\, computer vision\, and computational biology. She is a regular speaker at AI events\, and is particularly interested in outreach activities for young women\, encouraging them to choose technical career paths. For her volunteering efforts she has received the 2017 Arbor Award from UofT. In 2018 she was recognized as one of Canada’s 50 inspiring women in STEM and recently recognized as one of Canada’s Tech Titans: Top 19 of 2019.. She was featured in Marie Claire\, Toronto Life\, The Globe and Mail\,  TWIML & AI podcast\, ReWork’s list of 30 influential women in Canadian AI\, UofT’s News\, and other media venues. \nDr. Martin Snelgrove \n\n\n\nMartin is CTO of Untether AI\, who have just announced their first product: a high-performance AI chip that puts Peta-operations per second onto a board. The magic to getting the massive computing power AI needs is to be very careful with the femtoJoules: you can only fit so many watts in a box\, so you have to use them very carefully. It turns out that to do that you have to rethink John von Neumann’s 1947 computer architecture\, and it turns out that understanding AI as a workload lets you do that.    Martin was a professor at the University of Toronto\, then had a Nortel/Mitel-supported industrial research chair at Carleton. Over 16 years of teaching he saw the vast majority of the students Canada paid for head straight down to California. So he moved over to the dark side\, and has been in the founding team for three tech companies in Toronto; Soma\, Kapik and now Untether. It turns out that because Canada produces great engineers\, you can give them a great place to work by putting teams together. Top-grade talent likes working with top-grade talent.
