Seminar #3 - Friday January 13th, 3:00 ~ 4:20 PMTechnology Strategy: The link between technology and profit
This discussion focuses on the linkages between technology and strategy. We live in an age when innovation and new technologies are enabling wondrous new products, services and opportunities. Despite this unprecedented era of innovation the vast majority of new technology startups fail. What’s up? How is strategy different when technology is the key strategic variable? This discussion will focus on the key decisions that technology companies make that will enable financial success in addition to technology innovation.
Circuits Without Clocks: What makes Them Tick?
Most digital circuits have a global clock that dictates when all circuit components execute their basic computation steps. The clock is a convenience for the designer, because the clock synchronizes all basic computations to its ticks. On the other hand, the clock can be a serious inconvenience with respect to speed, power consumption, modularity of design, and reduced electro-magnetic radiation. A clockless circuit is essentially a distributed system in-the-small, where the main challenge is the coordination of all basic computations in a fast and energy-efficient manner. A growing research community is exploring the benefits of circuits without clocks. In this talk I will give a brief overview of clockless circuits, illustrate their potential by means of some examples, and discuss current challenges.
Future of Alternative Energies
The dawn of the industrial revolution and the explosion of technological development started with Sir James Watt's advancement of the steam engine. More useful energy produced in less time. Since then we have moved to a world powered by mainly fossil fuels. Nearly all technology developed today relies on fossil fuel energy. However, that age is about to end. Society will face many problems if it continues to rely on fossil fuels for energy. We need to move to alternate technologies such as solar energy collectors, wind turbines, and bio-fuel production which can provide a sustainable energy infrastructure. There are wonderful innovations in every energy technology, however, there are limitations as well. The focus of the seminar is to discuss the fusion of all alternative technologies and showcase the future of a world based on these technologies.
The 6.5 things you need to know to be an all around success
This seminar is geared towards students who are go getters, want to understand the business world better and are always looking for that edge. The presenter is James Perly, an entrepreneur, businessman and consultant. He will be talking about things such as what he wish he'd learned in school, how to get the career you want, how to win in life, and 6.5 things you need to know to be an all around success. Bring a notebook and pen. Gifts will be given away. Note: Mr. Perly would also like to invite CUTC 2006 delegates to visit the following URL: http://www.jamesperly.com/CUTC/, to learn more about what he is offering to CUTC delegates.
NanoTalk - A Survey of the future of Nanotechnology
UW NanoTech Engineering students ! Come discover the future of Nanotechnology from the leading figures of the Canada's Nanotechnology forntiers, Dr. Uri Sagman. Dr. Sagman is the co-founder and Executive Director of the Canadian NanoBusiness Alliance and was involved with the development and layout of the UW NanoEngineering program as well. His talk will break down Nanotechnology into two branches, Scientific and Commerical. The Scientific aspects will encompass IT (Nanofabrication) , Medical -Life Sciences and Environmental relations to NanoTech. The Commercial aspects will provide an overview of the budding industry dwelling into the details of the Canadian NanoBusiness Alliance.
