   ANyone hungry at lunch time in Scottdale please go here....thanks in advance.
   
   
   
   The food will be good, but the presentation will make it go down really,really nice.
   
   What lunch you ask?
   
   Its this one

   Tim Saxe Topic Table
   
   
   Designing Wearable Technology for Maximum Flexibility, Performance, and Power Efficiency
   
   Moderated by Tim Saxe, Chief Technology Officer, QuickLogic
   
   A key challenge for software and hardware designers of wearable electronics is to provide advanced processing capabilities in a small form factor while minimizing power consumption. Given that wearable technology is still an emerging market, it is also critical that developers maintain flexibility to meet changing market needs. For example, devices must be able to support advanced signal processing capabilities to reliably extract sensor data from low level signals in noisy environments. Devices must also be able to adapt to new types of peripherals such as motion sensors woven into clothing as well as implement increasingly sophisticated algorithms that can determine, for example, whether a person is running, bicycling, or cross-training. This session will discuss the use of hybrid device architectures and explore how developers can combine software programmability with application-specific accelerators and reconfigurable hardware to achieve the performance, power efficiency, and integrated functionality needed to enable next-generation devices ranging from low-end activity monitors to high-end sports watches.
   
   If anyonbe in the forum is at this great confab, please check it out for us.
   THanks in advance.
   
   That Dr. Saxe, he in demand now.

   So many lunches, so little time
   
   Always On MEMS 24/7
   
   Moderated by Will Tu, Director of Embedded Software, ARM
   
   Today MEMs and sensor devices are thought to be the key differentiators for IoT. The belief is that Moore’s law is nearing its end and now More than Moore’s law is taking over. We have heard the terms such as contextual awareness, prognostic system maintenance, and layer intelligence when talking about IoT, but what enables these devices to come to life is digital processing. Perhaps Moore’s Law is reaching an asymptote of diminishing returns, but computing is still need to provide edge processing and communication for these sensor networks. In fact, we want our sensor devices to be on 24/7, this idea of Always-on changes the expectation of low-power. Why should we be inconvenienced to have to activate our vehicle voice recognition with a push of a button, why can we not simply talk to the car and have it “listen” to us at all times, to know when we are wishing to talk to the vehicle? Wearable medical devices are always-on, our body has many involuntary functions that don’t stop when we go to sleep, and similarly technology needs to support us 24/7. Digital processing needs ultra-low power capabilities to support the always on requirement of the future.

   The format?
   
   “Topic Table” Luncheon
   Thursday, November 6, 2014 | 11:45 AM – 1:00 PM
   
   The MEMS Executive Congress US 2014 “Topic Table” networking lunch provides a relaxed setting for attendees to share their knowledge and insights on the most relevant topics in MEMS commercialization today. By signing up for Thursday’s “Topic Table” lunch session, you can join this unique, intimate setting to discuss, debate, and share knowledge on pre-selected hot topics in the MEMS industry. Each table will be chaired by industry experts who will help guide and facilitate these focused gatherings of like-minded professionals. This year, we encourage you to maximize your time by joining more than one topic table. You will have the option to register for two separate topic table discussions. Your first choice, will take place during the first half of lunch and then you will move to the table of your second choice during dessert! Please note: Topic Tables are limited to only 12 attendees per table; registration is on a first come, first serve registration basis. If you are interested in joining a topic table, please indicate so during registration. The option to not participate in a topic table is also available
   
   So I would go to the 2 I have listed here, the one with Dr. Saxe and the one of 24/7.
