This 60-minute Webinar provides an overview of electronic and electrical trends under way in vehicle safety and control systems including ADAS and vehicle electrification – trends that are driving changes in vehicles ranging from passenger cars to on- and off-highway vehicles.
Matt McWhinney, an expert in interconnect technologies, offers insight and best practices on how both component and systems designers are turning to proven, as well as emerging, connector technologies to provide more robust, easier to assemble components capable of supporting higher density requirements in mission-critical vehicle electronic modules. Vision systems, LiDAR, radar, and various control modules, as well as controlling circuity with vehicle power electronics such as inverters, converters, charging systems, and infotainment will be reviewed.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) will co-host Episodes III and IV of the virtual FAA Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Symposium - Remotely Piloted Edition. The theme for this year's event is "Above and Beyond" and will take place on September 14-15, 2021.

Join the conversation as experts from industry, academia, international aviation authorities, and the U.S. government discuss key areas for the future of the drone community - including the operations over people rule, remote identification, airspace authorizations, waivers, the part 107 small UAS rule, changes in hobbyists' drone operations, and other policies and regulations.
Episode IV will focus on UAS traffic management, technology, the BEYOND program, advanced air mobility, and international operations. Each episode will feature keynote presentations, expert panels, guided and non-guided networking discussions, one-on-one meetings with experts in the FAA UAS Support Center, and informational sessions with live Q&A.

In this webinar we focus on the simulation workflow to troubleshoot conducted and radiated emissions in Automotive. This will involve the modeling of new electrical powertrain systems, including IGBT power modules, PCBs, busbar, cables, magnetic components for power conversion and electrical motors.

High-performance computing (HPC) architectures are the key to creating next-generation vehicles – provided you understand their unique implementation challenges.

In this 60-minute Webinar, experts will offer first-hand expertise on the latest HPC engineering requirements, advanced integration concepts, proven testing, and debugging strategies. They will outline a new approach to the development and integration of next-generation automotive architectures based on HPCs and address elements for implementing large-scale projects successfully.

Key topics and takeaways:

• How to jump-start next-generation automotive infrastructure projects
• How to reduce the complexity of future vehicle designs, simplify integration efforts, and improve flexibility
• How to spend less time on infrastructure and more time on innovation
• How to leverage product re-use to focus on differentiation

PCIe is the de-facto physical layer interface available in almost all processors used in central vehicle computers. The introduction of PCIe switching provides the best solution for meeting the inter-processor connectivity requirements within a central computer. Automotive Ethernet provides the best solution for next-generation in-vehicle networks, connecting centralized computers and ECUs. In this free, 60-minute webinar, Microchip's Mike Jones and Richard Cannon discuss PCIe and automotive Ethernet’s critical role in creating complete end-to-end centralized computer platform architectures for ADAS and other connected vehicle technologies.

Key topics and takeaways:

• The next-generation vehicle is a "data centre on wheels." CPU, MPU, GPU, NAD, SoC, Accelerators, Storage – all natively wanting to communicate PCIe
• PCIe switches connect all processors within the central computer, meeting the connectivity bandwidth demands whilst enabling platform modularity, scalability, secure design partitioning and bridging to the Ethernet domain
• Ethernet provides the vehicle network, transferring sensor data and timing to all devices in the central computer

The software-defined vehicle is becoming a reality. In parallel to this revolution in automotive software, there is a need to address power and cost constraints while raising the computing performance for new safety use cases.

In this free, 60-minute webinar, Arm‘s Chet Babla explains how innovation at the intersection of hardware and software will shape the future of safe and affordable mobility.

Key topics and takeaways:

• How innovation is happening at the intersection of hardware and software
• A new generation of heterogeneous high-performance silicon is emerging for higher ADAS functionality
• Software approaches from high-performance cloud computing can help the automotive industry in this transition

Government emission standards have led to the rapid growth of EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs, which in turn has led to a rapid increase in the use of large gauge wires and cables. Harness manufacturers must take care to ensure quality connections in the harsh environments where these cables and terminations perform. This 30-minute Webinar focuses on the future tooling needs of the automotive industry and the role of advanced controls and monitoring innovations to support long-term industry growth.

The focus of the codeathon is creating publicly available resources that make it easy for scientists to compare sequence search methods across a standardized set of benchmarks and datasets. This event is part of a series bringing together a diverse group (biologists, bioinformaticians, statisticians, mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers) of collaborators to develop and test new approaches for sequence search. Codethon projects will lay the groundwork for future events focused on methods development.

Throughout the online, interactive codeathon, participants will:

• Have access to Zoom meetings and team breakout rooms for collaboration and access to experts from the NIH and DOE.
• Participate in a dedicated Slack channel to source assistance and collaboration.
• Hear from topic experts about Petabyte-Scale Sequence Search.
• Work together to solve biological problems and create computational tools.

At the end of the codeathon event, teams will have authorship over their projects, which can be submitted for publication, presented at conferences, or hosted online for public access.

As the world of E-mobility continues to rapidly evolve, robust sealing solutions remain critical for high-performance operation and extended service life. One such area where the challenges of sealing involve more than just perimeter length is battery housings. Manufacturers must consider the right materials while creating the correct gasket configuration that works with the components used for the battery housing. The seal must prevent the intrusion of dust, dirt, salt, and water while simultaneously helping to contain any thermal event arising from the contents of the housing. Additionally, these gasket designs must be certified to specific application conditions and be produced consistently to perform exactly as designed. This 60-minute Webinar reviews the challenges associated with battery housing sealing used in electric mobility and provides guidance about the critical factors that must be considered in every sourcing decision.
