In October 2020, the government of Japan committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. In October 2021, they announced a goal of reaching a renewable energy sources (RES) ratio of approximately 36-38% by 2030. Achieving these targets through national research and development projects is accompanied by high expectations, with a solid emphasis to address overcoming grid constraints and maintaining system stability to utilize RES as the primary power source.
One of these projects is a NEDO initiative called “Future-generation Power Network Stabilization Technology Development for Utilization of Renewable Energy As the Major Power Source (STREAM).” This project aims to develop technologies for practical applications of inverter-based resources (IBRs) with synthetic inertia and the motor-driven synchronous generator powered by RES (M-G sets) as countermeasures against low inertia and short-circuit capacity reduction and to verify these effects.
This webinar showcases 1)the current status and future goals of RES integration in Japan, 2) technical challenges in power system stability (grid constraints) for achieving the aforementioned goals, and 3)an overview and preliminary results of the STREAM Project.

In healthcare, there are many things that can be considered “good”, “bad”, or even “ugly”. From the development of life-saving treatments and procedures to the challenges of healthcare delivery and the ethical dilemmas that arise, there is much to explore. In this talk, we will delve into these topics and explore the role that AI language models, such as GPT, can play in healthcare. We will discuss the potential benefits of using GPT to improve patient outcomes, as well as the risks and challenges associated with the technology. We will also explore the impact that GPT and other AI models can have on healthcare professionals, patients, and society at large. By examining the good, the bad, and the ugly in healthcare and GPT, we can better understand how to use technology responsibly and ethically in the pursuit of better health outcomes for all.
Harvey Castro MD, MBA, an emergency medicine physician, serial entrepreneur, digital health advisor, and author of multiple books, including his latest book ChatGPT and Healthcare.

Abstract:
In the aviation context, AI doing things conventionally performed by humans could have applied to even older dynamics-based implementations of an autopilot but now more implies judgement reserved in past to human pilot, and clearly applies to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The description of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has continually been evolving over past few decades in correlation with the advancement in technology itself. The ingress into numerous spheres of life has been aided by progress in some of the supporting technologies, namely, high-powered parallel
processing, big data analysis and cloud computing, deep learning algorithms. There is a real challenge to aviation safety certification to identify and verify all possible safety-critical conditions, particularly for critical avionics systems, including those providing communication and navigation.
Also included, perspectives and progress for Women in Engineering (WIE) in this and related technical fields.

What are the Surface Web, Dark Web, and Darknet? Where do they fit in the big picture; how can they be accessed, … and what is deeper?
IEEE Computer Society Life Member Dr. Bill Curd will start with an overview of the Internet, especially the Darknet, how to access, search, and navigate there with some protections including the tor browser. Then he’ll share snippets from various dark places as well as some alternative ways of thinking about controversial geopolitical events such as 2020 election integrity, COVID and vaccine, Ukraine, and the so-called Intellectual Dark Web.
Plus, Cybersecurity Certifications in the Marketplace
Bill will identify the hottest cybersecurity and related certifications and how job postings and salary correlate with holding them – and solicit your feedback on what certification or other training you’d be seriously interested in attending.
The speaker has offered to make a (slightly redacted) set of his slides and an e-library of related documents available for download by any participants who request them.

How to Turn a Simple Camera into an Infrared Imager

Camera technology has improved dramatically over the years. Nowadays almost everyone owns a mega-pixel CMOS camera (in their phone), which produces high definition images and is a fraction of the cost of the high-end cameras from just 10 years ago. Despite the amazing capabilities of modern CMOS cameras, they only work in the visible range of the spectrum. In other words, these cameras cannot map images in the infrared range of the spectrum, beyond the spectral range of our eyes. The infrared range is important for a lot of imaging applications, because fundamental molecular resonances occur in this spectra window, which enables the generation of images with ‘chemical’ contrast. Infrared cameras exist, but they are noisy, low definition and extremely expensive. We have recently discovered a new method that turns a regular CMOS camera into an infrared imager. This optical method involves the simultaneous absorption of two photons by the silicon chip in the camera. This approach offers an attractive and affordable way to rapidly record infrared chemical images at high definition, enabling a new range of infrared imaging applications, including remote sensing, biomedical imaging and 3D visualization of printed circuits. In this presentation, we will discuss this new technology in the context of recent trends in optical imaging and illuminate career opportunities in the field of optics.
