19-669: The UWB Forum was founded in 2004, promoting acronyms such as DS-UWB and CSM. Within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers , the IEEE_802.15.3a effort attempted to provide a higher speed ultra-wideband enhancement amendment to IEEE 802.15.3 for applications which involved imaging and multimedia. That standardisation attempt failed due to contrasting approaches between the WiMedia Alliance and UWB Forum. On January 19, 2006 IEEE 802.15.3a task group (TG3a) members voted to withdraw

38-593: A central historical repository. Initially, the work was mainly done at the IEEE History Center. annexed to the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ . At the beginning, most content was related to electrical, electronics and computer engineering. As the fields of civil engineering, mining, metallurgical and petroleum engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering are covered by members of

57-639: A central repository for the documentation, analysis and explanation of the history of technology.

95-463: Is a semi-open wiki . In contrast to Misplaced Pages, no anonymous writing is allowed. Members of the affiliated engineering organizations can contribute their own autobiographical professional history and experiences as First-hand History or are interviewed to provide their Oral History . Administrators review these postings to see whether they conform with the rules established. In contrast to ETHW encyclopedia articles and landmarks/milestones, such content

114-499: Is a MediaWiki-based website dedicated to the history of technology. It started operating in 2015. It consists of articles, first-hand accounts, oral histories, landmarks and milestones. A partnership between the United Engineering Foundation (UEF) and its member engineering organizations ASCE , AIME , AIChE , ASME , IEEE as well as the Society of Women Engineers is developing the ETHW as

133-598: Is an American 501(c)(3) professional association for electrical engineering , electronics engineering , and other related disciplines. The IEEE has a corporate office in New York City and an operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey . The IEEE was formed in 1963 as an amalgamation of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers . The IEEE traces its founding to 1884 and

152-677: Is incorporated separately from the IEEE, although it has a close relationship to it. Members of the Board of Directors of the foundation are required to be active members of IEEE, and one third of them must be current or former members of the IEEE Board of Directors. Initially, the role of the IEEE Foundation was to accept and administer donations for the IEEE Awards program, but donations increased beyond what

171-546: The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and requesting the IEEE Spectrum to acknowledge "that they have unwittingly published a piece furthering misinformation and Russian propaganda." A few days later a note from the editors was added on April 6 with an apology "for not providing adequate context at the time of publication", though the editors did not revise the original article. Engineering and Technology History Wiki The Engineering and Technology History Wiki (ETHW)

190-587: The American Institute of Electrical Engineers . In 1912, the rival Institute of Radio Engineers was formed. Although the AIEE was initially larger, the IRE attracted more students and was larger by the mid-1950s. The AIEE and IRE merged in 1963. The IEEE is headquartered in New York City , but most business is done at the IEEE Operations Center in Piscataway, New Jersey , opened in 1975. The Australian Section of

209-595: The "severe legal implications" of U.S. government sanctions against Huawei. As members of its standard-setting body, Huawei employees could continue to exercise their voting rights, attend standards development meetings, submit proposals and comment in public discussions on new standards. The ban sparked outrage among Chinese scientists on social media. Some professors in China decided to cancel their memberships. On June 3, 2019, IEEE lifted restrictions on Huawei's editorial and peer review activities after receiving clearance from

228-602: The December 2002 project authorization request (PAR) that initiated the development of high data rate wireless standards. The IEEE 802.15.3a did consolidate 23 physical layer specifications into two proposals: multi-band orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MB-OFDM), supported by the WiMedia Alliance, and direct sequence - UWB (DS-UWB), supported by the UWB Forum. Major members Motorola and Freescale Semiconductor left

247-600: The IEEE existed between 1972 and 1985, after which it split into state- and territory-based sections. As of 2023 , IEEE has over 460,000 members in 190 countries, with more than 66 percent from outside the United States. IEEE claims to produce over 30% of the world's literature in the electrical, electronics, and computer engineering fields, publishing approximately 200 peer-reviewed journals and magazines. IEEE publishes more than 1,700 conference proceedings every year. The published content in these journals as well as

266-582: The United States government. On February 26, 2022, the chair of the IEEE Ukraine Section, Ievgen Pichkalov, publicly appealed to the IEEE members to "freeze [IEEE] activities and membership in Russia" and requested "public reaction and strict disapproval of Russia's aggression" from the IEEE and IEEE Region 8. On March 17, 2022, an article in the form of Q&A interview with IEEE Russia (Siberia) senior member Roman Gorbunov titled "A Russian Perspective on

285-608: The War in Ukraine" was published in IEEE Spectrum to demonstrate "the plurality of views among IEEE members" and the "views that are at odds with international reporting on the war in Ukraine". On March 30, 2022, activist Anna Rohrbach created an open letter to the IEEE in an attempt to have them directly address the article, stating that the article used "common narratives in Russian propaganda" on

304-567: The content from several hundred annual conferences sponsored by the IEEE are available in the IEEE Electronic Library (IEL) available through IEEE Xplore platform, for subscription-based access and individual publication purchases.

On December 19, 2018, the UWB Alliance was officially launched to promote interoperable ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless computer networking products from multiple vendors. The founding members include: Hyundai , Kia , Zebra, Decawave, Alteros, Novelda, and Ubisense. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE )

342-621: The respective organizations now, ETHW is becoming a global record for preserving knowledge of the history of technological innovation in a broad sense. It differs from other online sources, as personal accounts of technical innovators as primary sources are made available to the public. After its start as a common platform for several engineering societies, the Society of Women Engineers and the Society of Petroleum Engineers have contributed new content as well. As of 2018, ETHW included thousands of wiki entries, and recorded over 800 oral histories. ETHW

361-553: Was necessary for this purpose, and the scope was broadened. In addition to soliciting and administering unrestricted funds, the foundation also administers donor-designated funds supporting particular educational, humanitarian, historical preservation, and peer recognition programs of the IEEE.
