In September
we had the privilege of visiting the MakerFaire, NYC, the annual DIY event, supposedly the biggest of
its genre in our region if not the world. Every year the IEEE NY Section participates in the fair by
making a small financial contribution and in return we get some booth space to showcase our efforts
in encouraging the young to take up engineering when they go to college.
§ This year the fair was realized during the weekend of Saturday & Sunday, 22 – 23 September. I
sometimes tend to believe that MakerFaire has made a pact with the mother nature. I have been
attending this fair for the past five years and never I have seen any rain during those weekends. They
sky could look gray but rain? Never!

MakerFaire, NYC, 2018
Dr. Charles Rubenstein
planned the booth activities
§ As in the past occasions in this year too, Dr. Charles Rubenstein, LSM and a former director of
Region 1 organized the IEEE booth activities. That demanded much work and we congratulate him for
the tremendous effort and time he put in to make our participation in the event so successful. Charles
also arranged for some goodies emblazoned with letters IEEE as gifts to be distributed among the
young engineers of the future who visited the booth. Motivating young people to study STEAM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) subjects, as everyone will agree, is
important for the future of humanity. Several other IEEE mentors from various Sections of IEEE lent
a helping hand by explaining the attractions of engineering to those young minds. I personally knew
some of our volunteers: Charles Rubinstein, Bala Prasanna, Wilson Milian, and Soon Wan. My
8 IEEE NY Monitor, Vol. 65, No. 9
apologies for not noting down the names of other volunteers at MakerFaire. If you are one of them
and are reading this piece and your name does not appear please send me an e-mail (a.dutta-
[email protected]) and I’ll insert your name forthwith.

§ Though there was no end to attractions and surprises I had a feeling that this year’s fair was
somewhat less packed with exhibits compared with previous years. I didn’t the huge tents pf the past
pitched by the giant tech companies of the Silicon Valley and Redmond. The makers of
microcontrollers — Arduino, Raspberry and ARM — were not prominently visible either. Also absent
was the paella feast to which the press and all exhibitors were invited on the evening of Friday before
the two days of the fair. Though I may be wrong, I had an impression that the number of visitors was
also less compared to those in previous MF fairs. I hope that this year’s event was a singular oddity
and the interest in MF NY will not wane. We need MakerFaire to encourage the creative young minds
to flourish.
§ In this edition of the Monitor you also view a link to 360 degrees’ panoramic views of the Mars
terrain as seen by the NASA’s Curiosity Rover. Click on the link and enjoy the views. They are
spectacular.
§ Those who follow the recent trends in research in electronics know that quantum electronics is a hot
topic. I found a link to a lecture by Prof Neil Turok delivered on 4 June 2018 at my alma mater
Imperial College University, London, England. No progress can be had without a deep understanding
of quantum world. Here we get an opportunity to learn about these mysteries of Mother Nature
without getting embroiled by complicated mathematics and more over it is free.
9 IEEE NY Monitor, Vol. 65, No. 9
§ Lastly, we give you the highlights of some of the technical activities in the city and vicinity realized
in recent months.
LEARN TO DO IT YOURSELF (DIY)
The New York Hall of Science (aka Queens Science museum)
that holds the MakerFaire DIY show
The MakerFaire show, as usual a potpourri of DIY exhibits and some not so-easily DIY commercial
products especially trinkets and garments. The latter were put up for sale only because the fair draws
a large crowd that be tempted to buy gifts on impulse. The emphasis was on innovative ideas that
could be turned into tangible products. And there were many of those. It was well nigh impossible to
visit every stand and talk to the owners of those ideas. However, the Monitor visited many of them
10 IEEE NY Monitor, Vol. 65, No. 9
and here are their descriptions. A few DYIers promised to write about their ideas and products they
hope to launch. We promise to publish them in this newsletter if and as we get them.
Are you an amateur astronomer or a mentor for students who are interested in learning the
nature of our universe or multiverse? Robert Fitzsimons, an Irish DIYer has devised a product
that can be affixed to an umbrella (it rains a lot on the emerald isle!). A small (approx. 10 in x
10 in) screen below the dome of the umbrella displays an illuminated image of the sky seen in the
direction at which the inside handle of umbrella points to. To see any other part of the sky all you have
to do is to point the umbrella in the desired direction.
Did you ever think of a tiny microscope that can be constructed by Origami folding small
pieces of paper (slightly thicker than ordinary 20 lb variety) that hold a tiny convex lens? The
entire assembly can take less than five minutes and costs very little. This is the brainchild of a
Stanford professor Manu Prakash and his graduate student Jim Cybulski. The idea was to offer an
inexpensive but fully workable microscope mainly for the purpose of teaching and field work in
situations where high powered microscopes (Zeiss or Reichert) are not available or not even advisable
having just to prevent their theft. The scientists received funding from several foundations and the
result is a remarkable product (www.foldscope.com). We briefly tried one of them and it worked very
well even to untrained eyes. It is very inexpensive but can offer a magnification of 2000. Though
made mostly of paper it is resilient and may be focused by lightly pressing the paper holder. We were
told that for use in schools 20 of them could be had for as little as $35. A slightly more elaborate
version with some attachment costs less than $40 each. The product can be easily used by personnel
11 IEEE NY Monitor, Vol. 65, No. 9
of environmental protection agencies. It is interesting that the microscope can be placed on a
smartphone and an image of the sample may be sent to anywhere in the world. The Foldscope (as it
called) is not a toy but a genuine teaching too. The evolution of Foldscope has been covered by
English language media such as Popular Science, the Atlantic, Huffington Post, CNN, NPR and PLOS
Blog. If you or your colleagues are interested in introducing the portable microscope I recommend a
visit to their Web site.

Inexpensive LEDs and digital technology have given designers a new dimension for creating
novel products. MakerFaire reserved a fairly darkened large hall for the products that use
LEDs as their principal components. The DIYer Young Bum Kim designed some apples
contained in square baskets hanging from the top (it could be your ceiling or a supported hanger. The
12 IEEE NY Monitor, Vol. 65, No. 9
hanging apples created by Kim give the impression that they are real, in three dimension and
illuminated, all optical illusion and LED tricks.

When I did my undergraduate studies at Imperial College, London, England we had a cranky
Hungarian professor. He had a heavy accent and was a workaholic. Once he spent some time
in a hospital. On the Christmas day while everybody was planning some fun at the hospital
this professor insisted that the nurse bring him some paper and a pen. He wanted to work. (Actually,
the doctor ordered him to take complete rest and not to take any workload.) But he insisted on his pen
and paper. Much later I had the privilege to work in his lab for a project. My assignment was to make
a triode valve from scratch. The name of the professor? Denis Gabor, the inventor of holography and
the recipient of the Nobel prize in 1971. There is no Nobel prize in engineering. So, they give him the
prize in physics. It’s true, not a fake story.
Thus, I was thus thrilled to see an application of holography and digital technology. The URL link to
the purveyor of this semi DYI product is http://www.lookingglassfactory.com . The simplest product
of Lookingglass consists of a 8.2” (long) x 3.7” (wide) x 6.1” (high) block of glass mounted like a
picture frame. It comes with software that works with downloadable holographic models. The DYI
aspect comes into light when the user chooses from the coterie of “canned” models and combines
them to create his/her desired artwork or a more complex 3-dimensional holographic model. The
resultant model can be moved (but not touching) by motion of fingers in front of the glass block. We
tried our hand in front of one glass tablet and moved a holographic frog. Our interactions with the
holograms may be viewed at https://youtu.be/Tnw1ZdL18iI . For more technical information please
see the company’s web site (as above). Prof. Denis Gabor would be pleased!

There was no shortage of fun toys constructed with microcontrollers and bits of wood, wires
and strings, literally! See how a mechanical tongue would lick a lollypop for example:

California-based Microarduino offered stackable Arduino-centric STEM modules that teaches
programming basics to kids in basic steps. We tried our hands. Visit our findings at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzqalwL020I
I found the Hall of Science also very interesting. The museum has installed a wall-to-wall
aquarium and the animated exhibits inside are interactive. They can be moved by the motion
of hand; a wonderful experience for children to learn about marine life. See:

You be wrong to assume that MakerFaire was only a DYI for technical gadgets. There were
music and dance DYI too. Both music and dance were “imported” from Brazil, The dance is
known as “Capoeira”. This dance form in which only the legs are used

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFRZEgRvKxk
There were many other DYIers who exhibited their creations. I would really like the reader know these
products from the respective creator’s words. Keeping with the goals of IEEE, I would like to encourage
these young and not-so-young innovators to express themselves. So, please wait!

Rechargeable Batteries: Technology, Market and the Future Speaker: Mariann O’Connor
Joint sponsors: NY Chapters of PES, IAS and LMAG
ABSTRACT: With the growth of ubiquitous cloud-based computing applications, we have seen a
renewed focus in research on Data Center power usage optimization and its practical application. With
19 IEEE NY Monitor, Vol. 65, No. 9
an increase in power requirements from streaming to storing medical records combined with the costs
of infrastructure, companies are evaluating how they can economically and quickly scale to meet
demand. This talk covered the evolution of the Data Center over the past ten years, the categorization
of Data Centers into the different types that exist, the role of colocations, converged and hyper-
converged infrastructure, and the products used in Data Centers today. Of special interest is the use of
rechargeable batteries in the Data Center and their expanded role in powering businesses, electric cars,
IoT devices and supplementing the grid capacity.
Speaker: Mariann O’Connor was the Business Development Manager, National Account Manager
and Data Center Segment Specialist focusing on single phase and three phase UPS solutions at Eaton.

Using Networks to Study Relationships between
Metabolic Processes and Disease Sponsors: NY Chapters of SMC, Com Soc and
Education Comm and IEEE NYC Students’ Branch at LIU
Abstract: Metabolic processes in the human body form interacting networks and can be analyzed as such.
This includes biomedical reactions, gene expression, brain function and all other processes that keep
us alive. The malfunction of any of these processes can result in disease. The diagnosis and treatment
of disease can be improved by analyzing such networks. These networks are large and complex. The
fact that they interact makes the problem of analyzing then even more challenging. But as computer
20 IEEE NY Monitor, Vol. 65, No. 9
processing power and memory capacity have grown and the Internet has become a resource for
collecting and sharing medical and biological data, it has become possible to carry out meaningful
analysis pf even large human biological networks. The key to this is the development of network
models and algorithms to work with them. A network is a graph with nodes and edges that have
properties associated with them. These properties include capacity, reaction time, failure probability,
and functionality. The nodes represent components of a (biological) process; the edges represent
relationships among nodes.
A network that describes a process is called a network model. In the talk the authors present
several network models for relationships among diseases and metabolic functions, including both
chemical and genetic processes. We will then describe algorithm and data structures that we have
used to analyze specific problems. If a graph contains two distinct types of nodes and all edges go
between nodes in one set and nodes in the other, it is a bigraph. If there is an edge between every pair
of nodes in a part of the graph (subgraph), we call this subgraph a clique. If, furthermore, the graph is
bipartite, we refer to the subgraph as biclique. Cliques represent a very strong relationship among its
nodes. In the worst case, it is computationally very difficult to identify all cliques or bicliques in a
network. We present an efficient algorithm for finding all bicliques in real networks and show results
on a network with roughly 2000 nodes where two sets of nodes represent diseases and metabolic
functions.
A graph may contain subgraphs with identical structures, i.e., the nodes in one subgraph are
connected in the same way as the nodes in another. Such collections of subgraphs are called motifs.
Motifs indicate similarities in the relationships among nodes in one set with relationship in the other.
The motifs may match only topologically, i.e., we can match the nodes in one set to the nodes in the
other set and the connectivity among the nodes is the same in both cases. If the properties of the
nodes and edges involved also match, then there is functional similarity as well as a structural one.
Again, in the worst case, it is computationally difficult to find all motifs in a network or collection of
networks. We present an algorithm for finding motifs in a network or collection of networks> We
present an algorithm for finding motifs in actual networks representing gene interactions that take
place in different organisms. This allows us to identify biological similarities among organisms
involved. (Attended by 21 guests and 13 IEEE members.)

Recent Developments in Graph Databases
Sponsor: IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) Chapter in New York
Abstract:
The Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) NY Section Chapter hosted a lecture by Christina Schweikert,
Ph.D. In this talk, Dr. Schweikert first gave a background on graph databases and the advantages they have in
comparison with traditional relational database management systems in terms of data representation and
query efficiency. Of the NoSQL type databases, graph databases have an advantage when the data to be
modeled is of a network type structure. In addition, graph alogorithms can be applied to discover paths and
properties of the network. We also discussed case studies for using graph databases in industry ranging from
fraud detection to recommendation engines and data management. Neo4j was demonstrated as a sample graph
database implementation. (There were 28 attendees, 4 of which are IEEE members.)
Speaker: Christina Schweikert, Ph.D. Dr. Schweikert is an associate professor at St. John’s
University, Queens, New York.

Do you Have a Social Security Benefits Strategy?
Sponsors: IEEE PES &IAS NY Chapters,
Speaker: Robert Leitner, CFP, RIA
Many Americans think Social Security is simple and straightforward, often it is not. Just recently, the
bipartisan budget act made some significant changes to Social Security laws about claiming retirement
and spousal benefits.
Making a mistake when selecting your benefit option can cost tens of thousands of dollars over the
course of retirement. Consequently, it’s a good idea to talk with experts in the field, gather the
information you need, and make informed benefits decisions.
