This season, the ATE Central Webinar Series on Sustainability focuses on topics useful to Centers and Projects at all stages of growth. It is never too soon to be thinking about life “post-grant” – as a way to plan for eventual independence or as a way to prepare for a time when grants may not be forthcoming. This series addresses three critical angles – first, a basic “health check” to see how your project or center is faring today; second, strategies for moving forward, with a refreshed set of goals and priorities; and finally, taking to heart the need to plan for changes concerning the most valuable asset any project has: its people. This series is funded by the National Science Foundation’s ATE Central project and produced in collaboration with Nancy Maron of BlueSky to BluePrint, a consulting firm focusing on business strategy for leaders of innovative initiatives in the academic and cultural sectors.

This session takes on a thorny problem: your grant is coming to an end, but the work needs to continue. What aspects of your work need to be supported going forward? Which might you decide are complete and need no further work? In this session, we will introduce an evaluative tool for prioritizing the strands of work and activity that your project or center has developed over time and determining what each will require to have the greatest impact. Topics will include prioritizing, preservation versus growth strategies, and budgeting for the post-grant phase.


Special Guest: Ann Beheler, National Convergence Technology Center

 

Due to the latest NSF ATE Solicitation released in 2017, this webinar will act as an addendum and focus on specifics that have changed on this topic. A live Q&A will occur the last 30 to 45 minutes of the webinar.

The autonomous driving industry requires a sensor that performs at real time in all lighting and weather conditions. In addition, in a world where autonomous cars may drive one towards the other on highways at high speeds, the sensor must be able to “see” them coming from 300 meters away, track velocity, and detect distance.
In this Webinar, Kobi Marenko will explain why radar is the only technology that can overcome these challenges. 

Kobi will introduce Arbe Robotics’ patented technology for Ultra High-Resolution Radar, based on a proprietary chipset. He will focus on the technical aspects of resolving ambiguities, achieving low false alarm rates, coping with mutual radar interference, providing high refresh rates, while keeping prices low and reliability high.

These molecular assemblies have been used for many technological and biomedical applications, including drug delivery, biosensing and bioimaging. This webinar describes our strategy to generate fibers and nanoparticles using engineered variants of the coiled-coil domain of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein and their biomedical applications.

IBM is the leader in Blockchain Technology for Enterprises (source: Juniper Research). Many automotive OEMs, suppliers and customers are still struggling with how this technology could impact their industry. IBM’s Global Automotive Center of Competence has defined four major groups that will be revolutionized by Blockchain technology. In this session, you will learn more about these major automotive initiatives, specifically electronic car wallets set up for the next generation of mobility services.

 

In 2017, IBM was selected by ZF and UBS to bring Blockchain to vehicles for secure toll and parking payments, car sharing, eBattery Charging and in-car delivery. In a world where companies are increasingly investing in driverless cars and a seamless experience, secure and autonomous transactions will become the expectation for future business. The Car eWallet platform developed by ZF in cooperation with UBS and IBM is a prolific example of how your company can take the leap into the future of mobility. The platform is built on IBM Blockchain, which is delivered via the IBM Cloud and powered by Hyperledger Fabric 1.0.

 

Attend this webinar to:

 

  • Get insights about how Blockchain can be used for new automotive business models
  • Learn about Car eWallet, a transaction platform that allows end-to-end integration of mobility services, vehicles and infrastructure
  • Understand the benefits of IBM Blockchain approach for the automotive industry

How much does it cost to implement adaptive traffic control in an intersection or corridor? What are the benefits of this technology and what performance metrics can be used? Where has it been successfully implemented? This webinar will briefly show how to use data from the ITS costs, benefits, and lessons learned databases-located in the ITS Knowledge Resources Portal-to plan, justify, and evaluate your next ITS project. The interactive session will seek participant feedback on what content would be most valuable for planning and evaluating projects and how we can redesign this resource to meet user needs.

Speakers: Marcia Pincus, Program Manager, ITS Deployment Evaluation, USDOT ITS JPO; Liz Greer, Drennan Hicks, and Janet Fraser, Noblis
