Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry

Since Fish Fry is on short hiatus (don’t worry, new episodes will be coming back soon!), I thought I would share another of my all-time favorite episodes.  When we talk about the best Fish Fry podcast episodes here at EE Journal, my producer Larra Morris is always quick to point out that her favorite was “THE SHARKS!” 

Since March of this year, FATHOM Dynamic Advanced Manufacturing has pivoted their business to connect 3D printing manufacturing to help the medical community in some pretty amazing ways... but back in 2017, we were talking about 3D printed trackers for great white sharks. 

“Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...”- Peter Benchley, Jaws

What do 3D printing and great white sharks have in common? This week’s episode of Amelia’s Weekly Shark Fry of course! My guest Rich Stump (FATHOM) and I chat about how FATHOM is working with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute to create 3D printed video tracking devices for great white sharks in the California coastal region. Rich and I also discuss the details of the Great White Shark Café Challenge and the future of 3D printing in the world of oceanic research."

 

 

“The world is one big data problem.” – by Andrew McAfee, co-director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, we investigate Intel's Optane™ DC persistent memory and how this new innovative memory can help make actionable insights more approachable and make your next data-centric design a whole lot easier. We also take a closer look at some new technology developed at North Carolina University that will shape the future of DNA storage technology.

“One person's data is another person's noise.” - K.C. Cole

This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about noisy neurons, cough signature identification, and how AI can help us stem the tide of COVID-19. First up, we check out new research from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases that may have finally unlocked the mysteries of memory retention in people afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease with a little help from a bunch of mice and some very noisy neurons. Also this week, Chris Rogers (CEO - SensiML) joins us to chat about a new health monitoring solution to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the role of artificial intelligence in this solution and how this new platform may help detect symptoms earlier than before with identification of cough sounds.

 

“Cloud Computing is not only the Future of Computing, but the Present and Entire Past of Computing” - Larry Ellison

In this week’s episode of EE Journal’s Fish Fry podcast, we investigate a new era of PCB design with Leigh Gawne (Chief Software Architect for Altium). Leigh joins us to discuss the details of Altium 365 and how this cloud-based platform for PCB design can help bridge the design gap between PCB designers, part suppliers, and manufacturers.   Also this week, we take a closer look at a new galactic cosmic ray simulator created by NASA to study the effects of radiation for deep space travel.

This week’s podcast is absolutely brimming with electronic engineering goodness! First, we investigate the details of new artificial eye that can be powered by sunlight, developed by a team of researchers at Hong Kong University. Next, Jason Clarke (Crank Software) joins us to discuss user interface design, what their unique Storyboard platform is all about, and how I can get an embedded app running in minutes.

We’re taking on industrial automation and AI at the edge in this week’s podcast! First, we take a closer look at a new deep-learning framework developed at UC Santa Cruz that can identify and classify galaxies and stars by analyzing astronomical image data pixel by pixel. Steve Cammish (VP of Edge Solutions, ADLINK) also joins us this week to discuss the biggest challenges of the artificial intelligence in the industrial arena and the details of the Vizi-AI™ Development Starter Kit for Industrial Machine Vision AI at the Edge.

In this week’s podcast, we take a closer look at The COVID-19 Detect & Protect Challenge. Hackster.io co-founder Adam Benzion and I chat about why The United Nations Development Programme and a multinational group of companies got together to create this challenge, the goals, prizes, and details associated with this design challenge, and most importantly, how your open source designs can help make the world a better place. Also this week, we check out new flexible sensor technology developed at MIT that is hoping to make vital sign monitoring a whole lot easier. 

 

Did you know that the edge computing market is forecasted to reach almost nine billion by 2023? 
In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, Mathew Formica (Director of Edge AI Developer Scale - Intel) and I chat about the the biggest challenges in edge computing today, what's included in Intel’s OpenVino Tool Kit, and how Intel and Udacity are looking to train one million developers with their Intel Edge AI for IoT Developers Nanodegree Program. Also this week, I take a closer look at a new low-cost, low-power carbon dioxide sensing platform developed at Purdue University and how it could help drastically reduce energy usage for commercial buildings and homes alike.

In this week’s podcast, we are talking about the newest generation of Raspberry Pi, why old coding skills are in big demand right now, and why a new class of organic batteries may be just a proton away! First, we investigate a new all-organic battery technology developed at Uppsala University that can be charged in seconds and discharged and recharged over 500 times without loss of any kind. Next, Sarah Fawcett (element14) brings us the goods on the new Raspberry Pi 4. Sarah and I chat about the details of their All-in-One Kit for Quick-Start Embedded Computing and how Sarah helped create some unique home-based Raspberry Pi applications. Finally, we take a look at why the Governor of New Jersey sent out a call for programmers with COBOL experience to join the digital frontlines.

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, we take on systems on chips, body on chips, and much more!  First up, we check out how Havard’s Wyss University is hoping to change the future of modern drug development and approval. We take a closer look at how this team has pieced together ten “Organ Chips” to create a fully functioning body-on-chip platform and how this new BoC system can give us comprehensive new insights into how prospective drugs will behave throughout the human body. Also this week, I chat with Yorgos Koutsoyannopoulos (Ansys) about the challenges of chip design for 5G, radio-frequency integrated circuit design workflows and how we can all avoid electromagnetic crosstalk nightmares.
