Quashing COVID19: How the Corona virus operates
and why it has been so difficult to control
by Dr. Sabia Abidi, Rice University
Dr. Abidi will be discussing viruses, specifically the coronavirus, how they spread, how they replicate and the physiology behind their attack on the human hosts. Finally, some time will be spent delving into how doctors, pharmaceuticals and academics are tackling the virus.
Dr.
Abidi received her doctorate in biomedical engineering from the University of Texas, Austin
.
ONLINE Virtual Meeting: June 19th, 2020 10:30 AM-11:30 MDT.

2020 American Control Conference
|
|
This year the
Denver ACC 2020 will be a fully online conference. The conference will be held online between July 1-3. Workshops will be held the two days prior. Note that all conference activities will be scheduled using Mountain Standard Time zone as if you were in Denver. All the sessions will be held according to the schedule in the program and at the planned times. Authors are expected to attend and be available to answer questions. Also, as planned, all accepted and registered papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Strong participation is expected in ACC 2020 from our community, including 820+ accepted papers with final versions submitted. Online versions will be offered of most conference activities, including the Rapid-Interactive (RI) sessions as well as a robust Late-Breaking Poster session. Virtual rooms will be available for meetings to be held, discussions with colleagues and information about sponsors along with virtual booths, special sessions such as meetings with NSF program managers, as well as society meetings.

As time and frequency accuracy are a big part of our design work, we periodically check into how far atomic clock technology has progressed. The first CSAC physics package was demonstrated at NIST in 2003 and they demonstrated major improvements in 2019. A chip scale atomic clock (CSAC) is a compact, low-power atomic clock fabricated using techniques of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and incorporating a low-power semiconductor laser as the light source. There are a few commercial manufacturers of these devices. There are devices and evaluation boards in stock at our favorite distributors:
MicroChip/MicroSemi CASC SA45.s #090-02984-001 $5299.25
MicroChip/MicroSemi Evaluation board #990-00123-000 $ 928.75
IQD Frequency Products CASC #LFRBXO059244BULK $1984.73
This seems expensive compared to most integrated circuits, however these are real atomic clocks, the likes of which used to fill the space of a small room. Without much fiddling, you can achieve an accuracy of 1 second over many decades.
You can put an atomic clock in your lab for the price of an oscilloscope!
