IEEE Computer Society Shirts
What is more cool (or geeky, depending on your
perspective) than wearing an IEEE Computer Society shirt to the office or to a
gathering of technophobes?
The Computer Society will offer these shirts for sale at
our October meeting. There will be two types of shirt, in both Men's style and
Women's style, in a range of sizes. The first type is a high-quality polo shirt,
which will be available in any of four different colors. The second is a
long-sleeved denim shirt. These shirts will have the IEEE logo and the words
"Computer Society" embroidered on them.
We will provide a summary page you can refer to, and we
will ask you to let us know what to order. You'll be pre-ordering so that we
have the shirt you want, which is much better than a scenario in which we bring
50 shirts that don't even fit anybody.
There will not be a "shopping cart"
for this purpose--we'll take e-mail orders and then accept payment during
registration of the October meeting.
More info, including prices, will be in our next eNL. |
Looking for News
If you have information of interest to IEEE
Kansas City Section members, please send that to
the Publications Officer (writer @ ieee.org). Here are some examples of what
we're looking for: News pertaining to individual IEEE members of all grades,
including students:
- Obituaries
- Awards, promotions, appointments, honors
- Notable achievements
- "Looking for work"--send a paragraph explaining what you do and how to
reach you.
News to benefit other members
- Technical seminars that are open to Section members
- New courses
- Job openings
There is no "deadline."
Just send information as you get it, and the Pubs Officer will add it to the
next eNL (if the item is appropriate and if space permits--and space nearly
always permits). |

Signal Integrity Courses
Signal Integrity in
Kansas? In the summertime? Yes! Are you crazy? Maybe.
Aug 1-3, 2007, two unique
signal integrity public classes will be offered by Signal Integrity
Evangelist, Dr. Eric Bogatin. For a complete description and to register
online for these and other classes, visit
www.BeTheSignal.com.
If you want to strengthen
your engineering intuition about differential pairs, ground bounce,
switching noise, cross talk, transmission lines, the power delivery network
design, and other signal integrity principles, the Essential Principles of
Signal Integrity class is for you.
If you want to be a master
of signal integrity and dramatically increase your efficiency solving signal
integrity problems, the Signal Integrity Analysis with Agilent's ADS is the
class for you. You will receive a fully functional version of ADS and a
project CD good for 1 month after the class. This is the fastest way to get
up to speed designing signal integrity problems out of your next product.

EMC Courses
Thomas Van Doren will be presenting two EMC courses "Grounding and Shielding"
and "Circuit Board Layout" in Colorado Springs, CO on Sep 18-20, 2007.
These
courses explain how to diagnose and reduce electrical interference and signal
integrity problems at the system and circuit board levels.
A detailed description of both courses with fees and registration information
can be found at:

Thought for the Day
Unnecessary steps in any process means that process costs more and reduces your
effectiveness. Have you looked at your work processes, lately, to see what you
are doing that doesn't really need to be done? |
