Abstract
Even
startups that manage to raise millions in seed funding can crash before they
establish themselves as a viable organization if they assemble the wrong
team. There is an art and science to selecting the right capable and
motivated individuals who collectedly have the most appropriate mix of
experience required to optimize decision-making and actions taking in the
growing company. Our guest facilitator/speaker will discuss the attributes
required of a startup team that ensures a healthy environment. In addition,
you will gain insight on how to read the signs signaling team synergy, which
in turn reflects the business benefit realization.

Rapid Prototyping with Small Form Factor Arduino Modules for Your Next
Automation Project
Pizza and Networking: 6:30 PM
Presentation: 7:00 PM
Speaker: Bridge Carney
Meetings are free and open to the public. Register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2017-06-raia
Abstract
Arduino brings new flexibility to engineers, designers & students. Mr.
Carney will review the advantages of a snap together system such as
Microduino that allows creation of compact technology stacks with the
specific functions required greatly reducing the time to create from concept
to proof-of-concept.
About the Speaker
Bridge Carney is worldwide Director of Sales at Microduino in Westlake Village, CA. Mr.
Carney started his professional career in civil engineering but moved to
microelectronics at the dawn of the PC age. At this time no school courses
existed microelectronics and therefore is self-educated in both chip based
circuitry and coding. Bridge then transitioned into Marketing with
achievements including writing the Marketing specification for the first
color impact dot matrix printer and was among the first to use spreadsheets
for sales forecast modeling. And in his third professional phase he moved
into Sales starting with software applications and then to many types to
hardware solutions. Most recently Mr. Carney continued to be associated with
a wide range of technologies in both professional and mentoring roles.

Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn
Pizza and Networking: 6:30 PM
Presentation: 7:00 PM
Speakers: Trina Ray
Meetings are free and open to the public. Register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2017-06-aes
Abstract
The
international Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched on October 15, 1997 and
had a marathon 13-year 2-billion mile journey to the distant planet Saturn.
The 23-foot tall, 14-foot wide, 6-ton spacecraft is the largest most
sophisticated outer planet spacecraft ever built, and is in its thirteenth
year of operation in orbit around the planet Saturn. Cassini-Huygens has
been returning extraordinary data about the entire Saturn system: the
spectacular rings; the numerous icy satellites with a variety of unique
surface features; the giant planet itself; a huge magnetosphere teeming with
particles that interact with the rings and moons; and the intriguing moon
Titan, which is slightly larger than the planet Mercury, and whose hazy
atmosphere is denser than that of Earth. This talk will be a quick overview
of the Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn, with a summary of the top science
returns of its first 13 years in orbit, but really focus on an exciting
preview of the upcoming end of mission on September 15, 2017.
About the Speaker
Trina Ray is a senior science
systems engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Her first and still
favorite experience was working on the Voyager Neptune Encounter in August of
1989. As the co-chair of Titan Orbiter Science Team (TOST), she coordinates
all the Titan science opportunities for the Cassini Mission. She is also the
Deputy Science Planning and Sequencing Manager for Cassini, which is the
group of folks that integrate, implement, and execute the activity plans for
all the instruments on Cassini. NASA’s newest flagship mission, a mission to explore
Jupiter’s icy moon Europa in the late 2020’s, has hired her as an
Investigation Scientist for the ice penetrating radar instrument. Ray
received her Bachelor's degree in Physics from California State University,
Northridge, and her master's degree in Astronomy from San Diego State
University, where her research specialty was Planetary Nebulae. Ray has
received numerous awards, including a NASA medal for Exceptional Service and
is an active public speaker for NASA and JPL.
