Girls in grades 5 to 8 will become
scientists and engineers for a day. They will explore how science,
technology, engineering and math can help sustain our planet. Students can
choose from workshops on chemistry, circuits, gravity, programming, solar
energy, or sound; with a focus on how these technologies can be used
sustainably.
This
event is organized by the IEEE Buenaventura Section, with the gracious
hospitality of Isbell Middle School in Santa Paula. The event is supported by
women and men in STEM professions, IEEE Buenaventura Section, and Techbridge
Girls.
Event
is free of charge, but capacity is limited. Lunch will be provided.
Please
note
∙
Doors open at 9:30 AM.
∙ Parents are welcome to join the workshops after 2:00 PM to see what
their daughters have learned.
∙ Parking: The main parking lot and event entrance is on the 400 block
of Harvard Blvd. in Santa Paula. Overflow parking is available on South 4th
Street.

Using Digital Health Technology To Enable Tele-Rehabilitation Interventions
5:00 PM PDT
online
Speaker: Paolo Bonato
Register at: events.vtools.ieee.org/m/350187
Description
This
lecture will review recent advances in the application of digital health
technologies to the field of tele-rehabilitation. We will show how relying on
digital health technologies and on machine learning algorithms, researchers
have developed approaches suitable to derive accurate estimates of clinical
scores via the analysis of data collected during the performance of
functional movements. Examples provided during the lecture will include
techniques to assess motor impairments and functional limitations from sensor
and video data. We will discuss how digital technologies can be used to
collect data to generate feedback during the performance of rehabilitation
exercises outside of the clinic. Finally, we will discuss how these
technologies can transform the way rehabilitation interventions are designed
and implemented as they enable tracking individual responses to clinical
interventions.

Description
Target
localization based on frequency diverse array (FDA) radar has lately garnered
significant research interest. A linear frequency offset (FO) across FDA
antennas yields a range-angle dependent beampattern that allows for joint
estimation of range and direction-of-arrival (DoA). Prior works on FDA
largely focus on the one-dimensional linear array to estimate only azimuth
angle and range while ignoring the elevation and Doppler velocity. However,
in many applications, the latter two parameters are also essential for target
localization. Further, there is also an interest in radar systems that employ
fewer measurements in temporal, Doppler, or spatial signal domains. We
address these multiple challenges by proposing a co-prime L-shaped FDA,
wherein co-prime FOs are applied across the elements of an L-shaped co-prime
array and each element transmits at a non-uniform co-prime pulse repetition
interval (C3 or C-Cube). This co-pulsing FDA yields significantly large
degrees of freedom (DoFs) for target localization in the
range-azimuth-elevation-Doppler domain while also reducing the time-on-target
and transmit spectral usage. By exploiting these DoFs, we develop a C-Cube
auto-pairing (CCing) algorithm, in which all the parameters are ipso facto
paired during a joint estimation. We benchmark the performance of this new
radar configuration by deriving lower error bounds and theoretical
guarantees. Next, we examine range-dependent clutter suppression for
co-pulsing radar via space-time adaptive processing (Co-STAP). Here, we
propose an approximate method of three-dimensional (3-D) clutter subspace
estimation leveraging the well-known discrete prolate spheroidal sequences
(DPSS) to make a trade-off between the clutter suppression performance and
computational cost. Compared to the conventional FDA-STAP algorithm, the
proposed DPSS-based method for Co-STAP exhibits the merits of better clutter
suppression performance, lower computational complexity, and robustness to
interference.
