As vehicles become increasingly software-defined, advanced driver-assistance and autonomous systems must perform reliably across diverse environments and interact safely with a dynamic real world. Traditional validation methods, such as road testing and closed-course evaluations are often too slow, costly, and limited in coverage to keep pace with modern development demands. To validate today’s highly complex, […]

This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either. The latter part of 20th century witnessed the rise of the compute utility made up of large-scale data centers housing densely-packed compute, storage and networking equipment. In the cyber age, data centers became modern day factories requiring megawatts of power for the […]

Short-circuit current ratings (SCCR) and interrupting ratings form the backbone of electrical safety, coordination, and compliance in modern power systems. This presentation explores how UL 508A Supplement SB intersects with the National Electrical Code (NEC) to define the limits of what electrical equipment can safely withstand and interrupt under fault conditions. The presentation examines how […]

SETI, or the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, attempts to answer one of humanity’s oldest questions: Are we alone in the universe? While astronomers have devoted significant effort to finding exoplanets and trying to observe evidence of remote astro-biology, a parallel exploration involves observation of “technosignatures”, or radio signals that originate outside the solar system with […]

[] Hybrid Bonding has emerged as the technology of choice in the semiconductor industry for ultra-fine-pitch interconnection. With significant benefits for interconnect density and device performance, it will become widely adopted for a broad range of high-performance semiconductor devices in the years to come. The success of Hybrid Bonding technology for high-volume manufacturing depends critically […]

Autonomous vehicle fleets generate massive volumes of sensor and operational data that must be reliably transferred to cloud infrastructure to support development, validation, and production operations. Designing scalable data exchange mechanisms is challenging due to the large number of vehicles involved, changing network conditions, and different requirements on data volume, latency, and reliability. This talk […]

This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either. What does it take to engineer a system that must run nonstop for years, without failure, inside the most hostile environment imaginable—the human body? In this talk, Ian Coll McEachern shares lessons from two decades designing Class III medical devices, surgical robotics, […]

Although the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) only recently became effective in California on January 1, 2026, the 2026 NEC was already published in September 2025. Highlights of the 2026 NEC will be covered including new requirements for arc-flash labeling, load calculations, 10-ampere branch circuits, engineering for marinas and EVSE changes, as well as industry […]
