Much of what we take for granted in the IT industry was seeded from HPC and the national labs. This episode of Utilizing Tech features Gary Grider, HPC Division Leader at Los Alamos National Labs, discussing leading-edge technology with Scott Shadley of Solidigm⁠⁠⁠ and Stephen Foskett. The Efficient Mission Centric Computing Consortium (EMC3) is working to bring technologies like sparse memory access and computational storage to life. These technologies are designed for today's massive scale data sets, but Moore's Law suggests that this scale might be coming soon to AI applications and beyond. The goal of the national labs is to work 5-10 years ahead of the market to lay the foundations for what will be needed in the future. Specific products like InfiniBand, Lustre, pNFS, and more were driven forward by these labs as well. Some promising future directions include 3D chip scaling, analog and biological computing, and quantum chips.Guest: Gary Grider, HPC Division Leader at Los Alamos National LabsHosts: ⁠⁠Stephen Foskett⁠⁠, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the ⁠⁠Tech Field Day Event Series⁠⁠⁠⁠Jeniece Wnorowski⁠⁠, Head of Influencer Marketing at ⁠⁠Solidigm⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Scott Shadley⁠⁠, Leadership Narrative Director and Evangelist at ⁠⁠Solidigm⁠⁠Follow Tech Field Day ⁠⁠on LinkedIn⁠⁠, ⁠⁠on X/Twitter,⁠⁠ ⁠⁠on Bluesky⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠on Mastodon⁠⁠.

The seemingly outsized strength of cold-formed steel is not well-known. In this episode, earthquake engineer Ben Schafer, Johns Hopkins University, describes a research-industry collaboration with the automotive industry resulting in code changes for high-strength sheet-steel. Sheet steel has also been successfully tested in flooring systems. The upcoming CFS10 shake table test at UC San Diego is the high-rise building test for cold-formed steel. Schafer addresses misconceptions that structural engineers have regarding CFS: Basically: cold-formed steel looks too thin to be strong. However, with high-strength sheet steel, deformations do not correlate to lack of strength, which is something that automotive and aircraft engineers have long understood.

Space, once a distant destination, has become yet another battleground for great power competition.  Since the early days of the People's Republic of China, the country has been pursuing a series of ambitious space programs aimed to build up its space capacity as an essential element of its comprehensive national power.  In recent years, under the Xi Jinping regime, Beijing has significantly increased its investment in its civilian space program efforts. It has a plan to send Chinese Taikonauts to the Moon before the US can return.  As the US-China strategic competition continues to heighten, it is vital to assess China's space policy and its role in China's grand strategy. To discuss these issues, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Dean Cheng, senior advisor to the China program at the U.S. Institute of Peace and a nonresident fellow with George Washington University's Space Policy Institute. Dean focuses on China's space program, Chinese military doctrine, and “dual-use” issues associated with China's scientific and technical enterprises.  He also recently published a book titled China and the New Moon Race. Timestamp[00:00] Start[01:54] Space Race 2.0[03:27] Space in China's Grand Strategy[05:27] Achievements of China's Space Program[07:18] Similarities and Differences in China's Approach[09:14] Nature of Public-Private Cooperation in China[12:42] Implications of Landing on the Moon[15:30] A Chinese Incident in Space[17:00] International Lunar Research Station [18:50] Responses to China's Space Ambitions[21:03] Problems in the US-China Civilian Space Race[23:20] Stars and Stripes on Mars

Chapter 8 of the Intellectual Property Law series offers a comprehensive overview of intellectual property (IP) licensing and technology transfer, crucial mechanisms for the dissemination and commercial exploitation of innovations. This chapter covers the essential frameworks, strategies, and legal nuances associated with licensing IP and transferring technology from research to commercial environments. Intellectual Property Licensing. Basics of IP Licensing. Introduction: IP licensing is defined as the process by which IP owners grant permissions to another party to use their intellectual property under specific conditions. This enables IP owners to monetize their assets while retaining ownership. Key Components: The chapter elaborates on critical aspects of a licensing agreement, including the scope of rights, financial terms, and usage rights. Each component is crucial for defining the boundaries and economic terms of the agreement. Types of Licenses. Exclusive Licenses: Grant exclusive rights to the licensee, often excluding even the licensor from utilizing the IP within the defined scope. Non-exclusive Licenses: Allow multiple parties to access and use the IP, suitable for technologies applicable across various industries. Sublicenses: Involve permissions granted by the licensee to a third party, extending the original terms of the license under controlled conditions. Legal and Business Considerations. Due Diligence: Emphasizes the importance of verifying the validity and enforceability of the IP. Negotiation Strategies: Discusses how to align the terms of the license with business goals and legal requirements. Compliance and Monitoring: Outlines mechanisms for ensuring adherence to the terms of the license, crucial for maintaining the agreement's integrity. Technology Transfer. Role of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs). TTOs play a pivotal role in managing IP assets within universities and research institutions, facilitating the transition of innovations from the laboratory to the marketplace. Partnerships with Industry. Collaborative ventures between academia and industry are essential for the practical application of research. These partnerships often rely on licensing agreements that dictate the terms of IP usage and commercialization. Government and Policy Frameworks. The chapter highlights how national and international policies shape technology transfer activities, providing incentives like tax benefits or grants to encourage the commercialization of research. Chapter 8 thoroughly addresses how intellectual property licensing and technology transfer are integral to leveraging innovations for economic and developmental benefits. By understanding the detailed frameworks and legal considerations presented, readers are equipped to navigate the complex landscape of IP management. This knowledge is crucial not only for passing the Bar Exam but also for practical application in legal practice, ensuring professionals can adeptly handle IP in a variety of contexts. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

At the beginning of the pandemic, we reported on the extreme inequality of the vaccine rollout to low income countries. Their access was hindered because of a western patent system imposed globally through the World Trade Organization. At the time, activists tried to pass some activists tried to pass something called the TRIPS waiver, which would have suspended all patents related to COVID-19, not just for vaccines, but for all therapeutics and protective equipment. But as the world moved on from COVID-19, so did the efforts for equity. The TRIPS Waiver failed to provide access to medicines, and poor countries never received the vaccines they were promised.  But the global south is fighting back. On today's show we look back at the failures of the early pandemic and we look forward, at new initiatives led by scientists and activists to circumvent patents and create broader access to medicines.

How did a space-age invention become ubiquitous in today's digital imaging landscape? Learn all about it here in our latest podcast, featuring pioneers of photography and digital imaging.   In 1993, noted physicist and engineer Eric Fossum led the invention of the CMOS active-pixel image sensor as part of his work for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Then, as part of JPL's mandate to seek commercial and consumer applications for emerging technologies, he was active in the transfer of the CMOS sensor's “camera-on-a-chip” technology to industry.   In our informative conversation with Professor Fossum, he makes distinctions between solid state CCDs and his more efficient CMOS sensor that would come to dominate the marketplace. To transform high-level science into layman's terms, he uses the analogy of a bucket brigade collecting rain on a football field.   In a similar down-to-earth fashion, we touch on metaphysical issues like wave particle duality, and how this is demonstrated every time light enters a camera and you take a picture with your phone.   Join us to marvel at the wonders of science amid fun food references—from the way deep space radiation degrades CCD chips so they start to act like Swiss cheese, to the synergies between high-level scientific measurements and delicatessen lunch meats, both marks of a creative scientist and visionary educator. Guest: Eric Fossum Above photograph © John Sherman Photography, https://jshermanphoto.com/   Episode Timeline:   2:31: Eric Fossum's beginnings in hands-on science explorations, computer programming, and his love for launching model rockets, plus the role photography has played in his life.   9:26: Fossum's early research in CCD sensor technologies, his interest in trying to marry cameras to artificial intelligence, and his invitation to join NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1990.   14:00: The differences between CCD and CMOS sensors, and a description of how they work using the analogy of a bucket brigade to collect rain on a football field.   23:35: A history of active pixel sensor devices, an explanation about two kinds of image noise, the metaphysics of photons, plus how the wave particle duality from quantum mechanics is demonstrated every time you take a picture with your phone.   33:10: Fossum's role in the transfer of CMOS sensor technology to US industry, co-founding his company Photobit, and negotiations for licensing the technology with CalTech.   43:23: Episode Break   44:36: The sale of Photobit to Micron, Fossum's move to New Hampshire, consulting work on 3-D imaging sensors for Samsung TVs, and the beginnings of his teaching career at Dartmouth.   50:00: A book chapter on the future of image sensors, and the evolution of this idea to a university project, which led to Fossum co-founding the start-up company, Gigajot, with his PhD students.   52:30: Explaining the difference between the operation of CMOS and Quanta image sensors.   54:03: The resulting applications of CMOS image sensor technology, and the positive use of CMOS image sensors for social justice purposes.   57:22: Fossum's thoughts about STEM education, and connections between academia and applications in the wider world.   1:01:32: Parting thoughts about AI and the ability to authenticate images at the source, plus Fossum's newest award: The Trinity College President's Medal for Science & Innovation.   Guest Bio:   Eric Fossum, a Queen Elizabeth Prize Laureate and recipient of a 2021 Emmy Award, is one of the world's experts in solid-state image sensors. He developed the CMOS active pixel image sensor while working at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Today, this “camera-on-a-chip” technology is used in almost all cell-phone cameras, webcams, many digital-still cameras and in medical imaging, among other applications.   A serial entrepreneur, with a career that has spanned academic and government research, and entrepreneurial leadership, Fossum is currently the John H. Krehbiel Sr. Professor for Emerging Technologies at Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering, where he teaches, performs image sensor research, and directs the School's Ph.D. Innovation Program. He also serves as Dartmouth's Vice Provost for Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer.      Stay Connected: Eric Fossum Website: https://ericfossum.com/ Eric Fossum Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Fossum Eric Fossum at the National Inventor's Hall of Fame: https://www.invent.org/inductees/eric-r-fossum Eric Fossum at Dartmouth Engineering: https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/community/faculty/eric-fossum Eric Fossum bio from the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering: https://qeprize.org/winners/eric-fossum Eric Fossum's 2021 Emmy Award in Tech and Engineering https://www.nhbr.com/dartmouth-professor-wins-emmy-award-for-image-sensor-technology/ Logitech: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Logitech/ci/13968/N/4232861614

About the Lecture If America's center, its citizenry, is not strong, our nation cannot lead internationally: If the United States falters, despotic regimes, led by the People's Republic of China, will fill the void created, heralding ruin. America can only succeed in this quest if it works most diligently with established as well as new allies. This requires that a new global alliance for freedom be built, which links together established and nascent alliance structures that venerate liberty and the primacy of the individual. To act boldly, America must marshal an integrated strategy that spans the entirety of hard, sharp, and soft power in order to protect freedom, security, and prosperity in the face of unprecedented threats, which may be recognized, emergent, or liminal in nature. The building blocks for this renaissance in global leadership already exist but are only partially assembled. To erect this structure, timeless values must be fused with emerging technologies and geopolitical realities, to induce needed change. Book Synopsis America's future will be unlimited if we return to wholesomeness, gratitude, and vision, for we must rise as one people, or we shall fall as many. Pillars for Freedom charts a brave path forward to imbue America with strength, economic security, and virtue. The American Experiment is unique in history in its conception of liberty, which is freedom from oppressive government and its yoke. We are a nation that rests on the rule of law and not the imperfections present in all humankind. Today, the bureaucratic state, which controls our government, relies on diversion, untrue narratives, and misdirection to cover incompetence and gross misdeeds. This cannot be our country's standard. The maintenance of liberty rests upon our faith, our Founding, our families, and our commitments to uncorrupted education and science. Pillars for Freedom describes in consummate detail the powers America must reconstitute and wield in order to reclaim our destiny. Through marshaling our priceless heritage, we can rebuild our military, secure economic strength, and reassert energy dominance, as we erect our civil society. The book describes the actions America must take in all these spheres. Purchase the book here About the Speaker Richard B. Levine served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Technology Transfer and Security Assistance. He directed the Department of the Navy's organization in these matters during the Reagan administration. Richard previously served on the National Security Council staff, in the White House, as Director, International Economic Affairs, and as Director, Policy Development. Richard holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School and a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy, with honors, from the Johns Hopkins University. Richard is the recipient of two presidential letters of commendation and the Department of the Navy's highest honor given to a civilian employee, the Distinguished Civilian Service Award. Richard serves as a senior advisor to former government officials, including Michael R. Pompeo, on matters involving national security, strategy, and international economics. He is the author of the new book, Pillars for Freedom. He is the coauthor, with Vice Admiral John M. Poindexter and Robert C. McFarlane, of America's #1 Adversary.

Rob Gerlach is one of the smartest people I know and is a good friend of mine. He's a registered Patent Attorney, Intellectual Property aficionado, and the Executive Director of Technology Transfer and Commercialization at Wichita State University. What fascinates me the most about Rob is the rate at which he consumes information-- he reads so many books and listens to so many podcasts-- with a level of efficiency that is mind-boggling.
