ABSTRACT
The old idea of impulse radio dates back to Marconi's first wireless transmissions using sparks. Unlike
most wireless today, impulse radio transmissions are extremely wideband signals. The recently FCC-
released frequency band from 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz is the widest unlicensed frequency band ever released (7.5GHz). This ultra wide bandwidth (UWB) is commercially explored for even faster data transfer using traditional, multi-band (OFDM) RF techniques. However, the available bandwidth is wide enough for impulse radio transmission giving new functionality and new implementation challenges.
In this talk I will show how power efficient impulse radio solutions are feasible in standard digital CMOS
technology. Quite non-standard and untraditional design strategies must be used including time-domain
signal processing. Circuit topologies for higher order Gaussian pulse generation and power efficient,
correlating RAKE receivers will be explained. Impulse radio transmissions have additional interesting properties compared to narrowband modulation.
With time-domain processing (TDOA) highly accurate positioning is feasible in the millimeter range. Improved sensitivity for robust communication. Large number of channels (greater than 100).
Novel applications are also feasible using impulse transmission. Combining novel design techniques like
"Swept-Threshold sampling" and digital lossless integration, micropower impulse radar is feasible in
CMOS. A 60GHz sampler is used to accumulate and recover reflected electromagnetic energy. These
new sensing devices (medical radar) may be explored for reading vital body signs (pulse, breathing, blood pressure?) embedded in your car seat or hospital emergency bed (detached sensor). Just imagine what you can do looking though heavy matter! Single chip CMOS impulse radar will be demonstrated at the end of the talk.

ABSTRACT
Multi-touch is a new way of human computer interaction, which recognizes multiple simultaneous touch points, as opposed to the standard touchscreen, which recognizes only one touch point at a time. There are many forms of natural input in order to simplify the way people interact with their PC's and devices, however with the introduction of Apple iPhone/iPod Touch, Microsoft Surface and other devices, multi-touch is becoming more and more popular. In this tech talk I will describe what is the history behind multi-touch screens, what kind of multi-touch devices are available and how do they work, focusing mostly on FTIR and DI technique. We will discuss how to receive multi-touch events in our applications using TUIO protocol and how to write multi-touch applications using just a simulator. We will look into available open source projects that can be used to operate multi-touch screens and that are being developed by Natural User Interface Group (NUI Group) community.
Speaker: Pawel Solyga
Pawel Solyga is a computer science student at Politechnika Wroclawska, Poland. He is a co-founder of Natural User Interface Group (NUI Group), whose main areas of interest are modern user interfaces and in particular mutli-touch sreens. Pawel is also a former Google Summer of Code student. For GSoC 2008, he's working as organization administrator and mentor for the NUI Group. When not contributing to Open Source projects, he's a software engineer at Natural User Interface Europe AB, working on innovative multitouch applications.

ABSTRACT
The Xbox 360 game platform was released with a great deal of fanfare surrounding its new product design and user interface. The developers saw the need for a tight brand consistency with print, packaging, and product interface, and chose to commission a new typeface family for use throughout the brand. Steve presents the path to the Xbox 360's new look from the type designer's perspective: the evolution of the product, the design brief, the creative process, and the unique challenges of developing a font for less than optimal screen displays. Steve also discusses the business and technology of fonts, the work for the Android platform and, most importantly, why type matters in an age of multimedia and text messaging.
Speaker: STEVE MATTESON
STEVE MATTESON is the Director of Type Design for Ascender Corporation and has created fonts for use in various screen display environments and print publishing since 1987. A graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, Steve has an extensive background in typography, design and printing which he has applied to his development of high quality typefaces.
His work can be found in user interface designs (such as Windows Vista, Xbox 360 and Google's Android Platform); in publishing (such as Pescadero Pro, Andy and Endurance Pro); and for corporate branding (such as Symantec, Microsoft and Alcon Labs). He resides in Louisville, CO with his wife, 2 kids and 2 Labrador Retrievers.

ABSTRACT
This Tech Talk is designed to in two parts and covers the basics of high definition video for consumers and the basics for video production and post production.
This talk will cover the current HD delivery formats in the US and their relationship to consumer equipment (e.g. television, home video) and installation. Different viewing methods will be compared including direct displays vs projection.
