TRANSCRIPT
Dallas Section IEEE Day’s theme is: “Innovation in Challenging Times”.
About IEEE DayIEEE Day is celebrating the first time in history when engineers worldwide and IEEE members gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884. Worldwide celebrations demonstrate the ways thousands of IEEE members in local communitiesjoin together to collaborate on ideas that leverage technology for a better tomorrow.
ThemeNow engraved in its essence, the IEEE Day’s theme is: “Leveraging Technology for a Better Tomorrow”. While the worldbenefits from what’s new, IEEE focuses on what’s next.
DateIEEE Day is celebrated on the first Tuesday of October. Accordingly, IEEE Day will be celebrated onTuesday 6 October 2020.
IEEE DAY SPONSOR - Dallas Section Government Relations Policy Committee (DSGRPC) Vision and Mission
- The DSGRPC will work with our locally elected representatives to encourage legislation in support of technology policy that best serves the interests of our membership, our local area and the region.
- DSGRPC’s main purpose is to advocate for technology policy that provides a path to economic growth and opportunity for the region.

DSGRPC 2020 Priorities…
▸ Chips For America Act: Chips On June 10th, bipartisan legislation was introduced in Congressto encourage investment in advanced semiconductor manufacturing capability in an attemptto restore our nation’s lead in producing the world’s most advanced semiconductor chips.
▸ Restoring America’s Leadership in Innovation Act ( RALIA ): To promote the leadership ofUnited States in global innovation by establishing a robust patent system that restores andprotects the right of the inventors to own and enforce private property rights in inventionsand discoveries and for other purposes.
▸ Endless Frontier Act : An initiative to solidify the United States’ leadership in scientific andtechnological innovation through increased investments in the discovery, creation, andcommercialization of technology fields of the future. The bipartisan legislation further targetssupport to ensure new research investments translate into new American companies,manufacturing and high-tech jobs, and opportunities for regions across the country to becomeglobal centers of emerging technology industries.

A Lesson In Ethics From NASA
ETHICS SUCCESS BOOSTERS
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have the right to do and what is right to do. ~ Potter Stewart
If you don’t stand up for something you
will fall for anything. ~Unknown
Sometimes when you innovate you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly and get on with improving your innovations. ~ Steve Jobs
Ethics does not begin with your position but it
begins with your disposition.
It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of our dodging our consequences. ~Josiah Stamp
The time is always right to do what is right. ~ Dr. Martin Luther King
In order to be great we must fall in love with the process to become great!

The Ethical Check List(Check B4 You Act)
Copyright 2020, MB Howard & Associates
Is it legal?
Am I being totally transparent and honest?
Is it anything I will have to cover-up?
Will my actions compromise the quality of our product or service?
Does it comply with the rules and regulations of the organization?
Will taking this action put me in a position to be untruthful?
Is it within the guidelines of our organizational values?
Will my actions compromise safety?
Phrases To Avoid For Not Doing What’s Right
• Everyone
else does
it.
• They will
never
miss it.
• I don’t
have the
time to do
it right.
• Nobody will
care.
• The boss
does it.
• No one will
know.
• That’s
close
enough.
• It’s not my
job.

Listen and Learn from others
Energize others
Act for the benefit of everyone
Develop themselves and others
Empower others to lead

● COVID-19 patients with ARDS are using ventilators in
higher numbers and for longer durations than typical
for respiratory illness
● Potential significant shortage of ventilators worldwide
that cannot be satisfied through ramping production of
existing commercial designs
● JPL’s VITAL project set out to design/develop a limited
function ventilator that could meet a large fraction of
COVID-19 patient needs while being quickly
manufacturable using readily available parts
The Medical Need: March 2020

The VITAL Story
38
In mid-March, two JPL engineers David Van Buren and Rob Manning asked: How can JPL
help the current COVID crisis in the shortage of ventilators – can we design and open
source low-cost ventilators for anyone to build from easily accessible parts?
On Day 1, Kick-off: JPL engaged local doctor Michael Gurevitch from Huntington Hospital in
Pasadena to better understand the specific needs of COVID-19 patients and healthcare
workers
In 37 days, about 70 engineers, 90% of whom tele-worked, designed and developed a
prototype ventilator ready for testing
On Day 38, Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City tested the design
On Day 40, the team submitted the design to the FDA for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
& the ventilator was showcased to the POTUS in the White House
In the next week, Caltech issued a world-wide no-fee licensing call for proposals to
manufacture the ventilators & the first EUA was approved.
In the next month, the team designed and tested a second ventilator design. The second EUA
was approved June 1.

FY 2021 Budget: House has passed a CR until December. Senate is likely to do the same. Little change to our budgets expected.
COVID Relief: 2 Parties remain far apart on priorities. Action delayed until November. Research funding does not look like it will be part of any package that might pass.
NDAA: Passage likely in late November or December. CHIPS Act & AI bill likely to be included. Endless Frontier Act less likely, but could be a priority in 2021.
Government Relations Bi-Weekly Update
Russ Harrison provides a bi-weekly update on legislation and activities in D.C., along with an assessment the pandemic is having on jobs and the economy.
