Over the past 10 years\, solution-processed semiconducting materials have been studied largely for incremental application in information display. However\, combining derivatives of these semiconductors with emerging solution-dispersible metal and metal oxide nanoparticles and nanowires enables the fabrication of electronic devices that are fully built from solution. \n This establishes a new device-processing platform\, which in turn allows device form factors and integration of functionality in systems not feasible in any conventional semiconductor technology. Examples of novel applications and systems enabled by this include: large-area\, ultralight and flexible power harvesting\, logic-integrated sensing and memory technologies. \n In this talk\, I will discuss the development of a flexible integrated blast dosimeter to illustrate and demonstrate the challenges and advantages of using solution-processed electronic materials for flexible and disposable applications. The blast dosimeter tapes developed at PARC are used to detect the occurrence of events that cause traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is a medical condition that is cumulative and triggered by events such as blast pressure waves\, noise\, acceleration and extremely bright light. The sensor tape has integrated sensors\, signal conditioning electronics\, non-volatile memory and a thin film battery. The electronic circuits are based on digitally printed organic semiconductors and integrated with pressure\, acoustic\, acceleration and temperature sensors based on piezoelectric polymers such as PVDF or PVDF-TrFE. Piezoelectric polymers were chosen based on their ability to meet low-power\, low drift and simple fabrication constraints. Active regions formed with distribute interface semiconductor networks based on polymer/polymer and polymer/small molecule systems were used in the fabrication of the printed light sensors. Polarizable solution-processed dielectrics and polymer semiconductors were integrated in the fabrication of non-volatile analog memory arrays. Memory device characteristics were monitored to understand the limiting factors to data retention time. Combined together\, these elements demonstrate an integrated sensing\, logic and memory system that begins to demonstrate the potential of this approach. \n In this talk I will also discuss the main challenges for flexible printed electronics: materials performance\, TFT operation voltage\, and printing as a manufacturing technology. \n ***** \n Ana Claudia Arias is an Acting Associate Professor at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of California in Berkeley.

The legislation establishes as the central policy principle of California water law the achievement of the “co-equal goals”\, defined as the restoration of the ecosystem in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and improvement of water supply reliability in California. For the first time\, major legislation on water policy seemed to recognize that a future of coequal goals would require both investments in water use efficiency and local water resource supplies and new infrastructure investments in the massive system that moves water from where it originates to where it is used in the California economy. \n But\, what is the role of infrastructure in 21st century water policy? In fact\, a wide range of “intelligent” infrastructure will be essential in achieving the coequal goals. Moreover\, coequal infrastructure will likely be significantly more expensive than the infrastructure built in the last century primarily to move water supplies as cheaply as possible to urban and agricultural water users. To complicate matters\, infrastructure projects under a policy of co-equal goals will be expressly designed to provide a much higher degree of public benefits (e.g.\, temperature and flow improvements for fisheries) than the projects of earlier decades that focused primarily on providing (private and excludable) water supplies to identified contractors. \n All of these factors raise daunting challenges in the planning\, design\, construction and operation of infrastructure in an era of coequal goals\, which are the subject of this presentation.

Her talk will explain how her knitting of Morse code serves to engage a general audience in discussion of communications theory\, binary systems\, and the history of media. She will also recount the surprising ways that physical production deepened her historical understanding. The talk will highlight the rich answers that can come from explorations that are at once artistic and technical\, popular and scholarly\, historical and contemporary. \n Kristen Haring is Assistant Professor of History at Auburn University. She holds degrees in mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a PhD in history of science from Harvard University. Haring’s work has been recognized by the Society for the History of Technology\, which awarded her the IEEE Life Members’ Prize in Electrical History for portions of Ham Radio’s Technical Culture. She has served on the board of directors of the Keith Haring Foundation since its creation by her brother in 1989.

All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n We will discuss aspects of design and operations of integrated building systems for energy efficiency. There are a number of current efforts to measure energy efficiency of a building\, but they are often decoupled from operations and control either by lack of appropriate system-level visualization or lack of analysis tools. We will present several such analysis tools that enabled us to study buildings of a variety of sizes.

In the past few years\, Berkeley\, the University of California\, and public universities nation-wide have experienced a massive disinvestment in public higher education that calls into question the very notion of these universities as public institutions. By 2012 state funding for UC Berkeley will constitute a mere 12% of our operating budget. At the same time\, an increasing body of scholarship and public conversation has also challenged the economic and civic value of higher education itself\, even as a source of economic and social opportunity for private individuals. In what sense\, then\, can this institution still be understood as a “public” institution and a “public good”? The Deans of Berkeley’s Colleges and Professional Schools believe it is imperative for academic leaders and public intellectuals to join together to meet the challenge: to define our character\, our mission and our contributions to public life. \n As the premier public university in the world\, UC Berkeley has a special responsibility and we are uniquely qualified to lead the way. We must respond by doing what Berkeley does best: mobilize research expertise\, invite informed debate and facilitate the exchange of knowledge about the constraints and opportunities ahead for the University of California and public universities nationwide. To this end\, the Deans of Berkeley’s Colleges and Professional Schools are organizing a series of public conversations on the four core challenges we face as a campus and as a community. On multiple fronts and through a variety of media sources\, these conversations will bring together scholars\, community organizers\, business leaders and politicians to engage in a dialogue with students\, faculty\, staff and the campus community at large about the issues most urgently relevant to the future of our university. Through this initiative we hope not only to understand the extent of our challenges but also to discover the best means to chart our path forward. We invite you to join us in defining our future.

Associated with democratic principles ranging from freedom to human rights\, equality\, and distributive justice\, “access” is nonetheless a complex and underanalyzed concept. In this talk\, which is meant to provoke conversation\, I seek to open “access” up for analysis rather than accept the concept as natural and positive. Taking the case of mass book digitization\, I will examine the practices and politics sheltered under its promise of “access” and then contextualize them within the ongoing shift in libraries from print ownership to digital access. I will end with some speculations about the place of “access” within a copyright regime when the commodity in question is no longer a book but access to that book. If “access” is replacing the copy\, how might it be regulated\, if at all?

The potential energy savings are tremendous as is the opportunity to reduce demand on the grid during critical peak use periods. Charlie will describe how low-cost wireless radio technology develop at UC Berkeley is creating a paradigm shift in the way we think about controlling lighting. Beyond deep energy savings and demand response\, the technology offers personal control for occupants and improved maintenance and security for facility managers. \nFounded by Charlie and Haas MBA graduates Josh Mooney and Zach Gentry\, Adura Technologies has commercialized this technology and is deploying it across the U.S. Charlie will describe the journey from a University research project to a venture-funded startup. \n  URL:https://citris-uc.org/event/to-the-dark-side-efficiency-and-demand-response-through-commercial-building-lighting-controls-oct-28/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111028T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111028T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T172120 CREATED:20140202T090101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140202T090101Z UID:4262-1319788800-1319821200@citris-uc.org SUMMARY:Using High-Resolution Observations for Improving Wind Power Production: Two Case Studies in California\, Oct 28 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://citris-uc.org/event/using-high-resolution-observations-for-improving-wind-power-production-two-case-studies-in-california-oct-28/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111031T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111031T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T172120 CREATED:20140202T090101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140202T090101Z UID:4263-1320048000-1320080400@citris-uc.org SUMMARY:ATC Lecture: Present Continuous Past(s): The Centre Pompidou New Media Collection\, Christine Van Assche\, Oct 31 DESCRIPTION:Christine Van Assche\, Chief Curator and Curator of New Media at the Centre Georges Pompidou\, will speak on the topic of contemporary art and new media. \n If one takes Nam June Paik’s first video tapes as a starting date\, New Media has already existed for half a century. And it has progressed considerably in this time\, stretching aesthetic and technological boundaries. The Centre Pompidou New Media Collection started 35 years ago and has since become one of the more important and internationally renowned collections of New Media works. The definition of New Media\, its history\, research\, conservation\, current trends\, and presentation in France and around the world will be the subject of this lecture. \n As Chief Curator and Curator of New Media at the Centre Georges Pompidou\, Christine Van Assche has assembled a renowned collection of video works and multimedia installations that comprises more than 1\,700 pieces. She has organized influential thematic exhibitions\, including Passages de l’image (1990)\, with Catherine David and Raymond Bellour\, and Sonic Process (2002)\, and a number of shows accompanied by monographic catalogues\, on such artists as Thierry Kuntzel\, Marcel Odenbach\, Tony Oursler\, Gary Hill\, Stan Douglas\, Mona Hatoum\, Pierre Huyghe and Bruce Nauman. She is the author of Vidéo et après. La Collection du Musée national d’art moderne (1996)\, among other publications\, and helped conceive the Web-based New Media Encyclopedia (www.newmedia-art.org).

All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n Many strategies have been proposed for how to achieve low to zero carbon operations in the built environment. All the strategies associated with building efficiency – high value insulation\, low air infiltration\, passive solar\, daylighting\, natural ventilation\, shading\, efficient lighting and appliances are the proven foundation for reducing energy demand by 40-60%. Green urbanism – compact\, mixed-use\, high density\, walkable communities with frequent\, high quality public transit can reduce vehicles miles traveled (VMT) by 30-50% or higher. Solar (PV and hot water) and wind energy can contribute a significant part of the supply\, but what can make up the balance to get to zero carbon. Four case studies of existing neighborhoods reveal the secrets.
