If you will be in the area, please feel free to join us as advanced notice or membership in NPSS or IEEE PSES is not required. Ian Houseal is a sustainability consultant with Jacques Whitford Company. He leads the companys internal carbon footprint program, ecological footprint program, and initiatives surrounding sustainable procurement all steps the company has taken to walk the talk of sustainability. In this role, Ian is responsible for inventorying and reporting greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprinting) to The Climate Registry for the companys 47 facilities across Canada and the United States. Jacques Whitford is one of ten founding reporter to The Climate Registry, reporting emissions for 2007. Before joining the Jacques Whitford team, Ian worked in the fields of urban planning, architecture, and green construction.

Joint EMC Society and NPSS Meeting Tonight, October 22nd
All, There will be a joint Northeast Product Safety Society and EMC Society meeting tonight, October 22nd, at EMC Corporation's Customer Briefing Center at 42 South Street in Hopkinton, MA. A social hour with light refreshments will begin at 6:00 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:00 PM. We have two technical presentations this month with one predominately EMC related and the other product safety related. The first technical presentation will start at 7 PM with an expected 45 minute duration followed by a brief Q A time. Our second technical presentation will start around 8 PM or immediately after any questions for our first speaker. If you will be in the area, please feel free to join us as NPSS or EMCS membership or advanced notice is not required. Our first speaker, Dr. Cheung-Wei Lam, is a Senior Engineer at Apple Computer. Dr. Lam will present trade-offs and guidelines for signal integrity design versus radiated emission control. For engineers responsible for both disciplines, an in-depth understanding of the similarities and differences between the two is even more important. In this presentation, key signal integrity and EMC concepts will be reviewed. Design considerations in the two disciplines will be compared and contrasted at the chip and PCB levels. Dr. Lam is engaged in IC, PC board and system level EMC RD at Apple Computer and has implemented an EMC design and analysis process at Apple to facilitate on-time compliance at lower cost. Prior to joining Apple, he was a co-founder and Principal Engineer of Transcendent Design Technology and worked in Viewlogic's Advanced Development Group (formerly Quad Design Technology). During his years in the EDA industry, he has played key roles in the design and development of EMC, signal integrity and ground bounce analysis software tools. Dr. Lam received his B.S. degree in electronics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and his S.M. and PhD degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT. He has served on the IEEE EMC/S TC-9 Computational EMC committee and the SAE EMC Modeling Task Force committee. He has given numerous papers, seminars, workshops, tutorials, and training courses on various EMC and signal integrity topics in the US, Europe and Japan. He was a co-recipient of the best paper award at the 1996 IEEE International Symposium on EMC. In 2002, he was appointed to serve as an IEEE EMC Society Distinguished Lecturer and is listed in Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Who's Who in America, and Who's Who in the World. Our second speaker, Mr. Timo Venalainen, is the Technical Manager of Electronic Products at CSA-International. Mr. Venalainen will present an overview of new requirements in IEC 60065-7th edition, and a progress report on the TC 108 work under way on the Hazard-Based Standard. Since the New Hazard-based Standard will replace both 60950 and 60065, this topic will be of particular interest to anyone involved with product safety certifications. Mr. Venalainen has been involved with certification of audio video products at CSA for 31 years. He has been a Senior Engineer for over 18 years. Mr. Venalainen is a member of IEC TC 108 committee and working on the maintenance of IEC 60065. He is also assisting in the writing of the new Hazard-Based Standard to cover IT and AV Equipment. The 2002 NPSS meeting schedule is available on the NPSS website at http://www.nepss.org/meetings/NPSS2003Calendar.htm. Further information about the Northeast Product Safety Society and how to become a member is available at http://www.nepss.org.

Northeast Product Safety Society Meeting Next Week on Wednesday, February 26
There will be a Northeast Product Safety Society meeting on Wednesday, February 26th, at EMC Corporation's Customer Briefing Center at 42 South Street in Hopkinton, MA. A social hour with light refreshments will begin at 7:00 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:30 PM. David W. Simmerer, former Director of Product Reliability at Olson Manufacturing Company, will present this month’s topic on Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. David’s presentation will provide an overview of FMEA and it’s methodology with an example analysis using a Ford car door. He will illustrate FMEA application with past experiences such as brain shunts for JJ in Switzerland, Otis Elevator, and some actual hospital process FMEA's that have done to prevent patient mix-up of diagnosis and prescriptions and stealing of infants, etc. David will condense what is normally a two or three day seminar into 1 hour, and still leave time for QA and discussions afterwards. If you have never taken part in a FMEA this will be a new insight for you, and if you have, then this can provide some refresher information. David W.

January NPSS Meeting is Tomorrow, January 22nd
There will be a Northeast Product Safety Society meeting tomorrow, January 22nd, at EMC Corporation's Customer Briefing Center at 42 South Street in Hopkinton, MA. A social hour with light refreshments will begin at 7:00 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:30 PM. John Freudenberg, NPSS webmaster for the last two years, will be presenting this month’s technical topic concerning the history and future plans for the NPSS web site. His discussion will show how any compliance engineer with zero web experience can become a novice NPSS webmaster in 10 minutes. The presentation will be followed by a brief training demo in which a brave volunteer with no previous web experience will be shown how to make an actual live on-line modification to the official NPSS web site. Time permitting we'll also invite as many members as possible from the audience to lead a 2 minute (max) presentation of their company web sites o Manufacturers will be invited to highlight their site and point to ways in which the web has been used to distribute compliance information. An LCD projector will be available but you'll need to be prepared with your own laptop and way to get through your company firewall. o Vendors will be invited to highlight their site and point to ways in which the web has been used to provide useful technical information to potential customers. In the live session we'll download one of the web pages using a free public File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program, make minor edits to the web page and upload (implement) the revised web page back to the NPSS web site. The demo will be useful to future NPSS webmasters and to others interested in being webmaster of a web site for your own home, family, sports, non-profit organization or business equivalent to www.nepss.org The 2003 NPSS meeting schedule is available on the NPSS website at http://www.nepss.org/meetings/NPSS2003Calendar.htm.

Reminder - Joint EMC NPSS Meeting Tomorrow, June 26th
All, Our joint NPSS and EMC Society meeting tomorrow, June 26th, features two speakers. Due to the extensive technical program, the social hour with light refreshments will begin at 6:30 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:00 PM. The joint meeting will be held at EMC Corporation's Customer Briefing Center in Hopkinton, MA. The first technical presentation will start at 7:00 PM with a 45 minute expected duration. Our second technical presentation will start around 7:45 PM or immediately after any questions for our first speaker. Doug Smith, IEEE EMC Society Distinguished Lecturer, will present this months first topic concerning Computer Security for the Engineer, 'The Knock in the Middle of the Night'. What is the worst thing that can happen to your computer? It may be much worse than just losing your files or having them posted on the Internet for all to see. Dougs talk will cover some of the things that can happen and how to avoid them. Screen shots from an attack on Doug's computer will be shown to illustrate some of the things that can happen. The remote diagnosis feature provided by many laptop manufacturers, including Doug's, leaves them wide open to attack from hackers. During a recent trip, that weakness was probed 4 times in 2 hours over a dialup by hackers! Bring your laptop with a modem and check it out real time. As food for thought, a recording of the emissions from Doug's home computer as heard on a short-wave radio will be played to show that different computer activities, such as surfing the Internet and printing, can be identified. Vincent DeGiorgio, Senior Risk Consultant for ArupRisk Consulting will be presenting this months second technical topic concerning the risk assessment process and its application. Risk can be found everywhere such as when you are driving your car, entering your place of work or taking an airplane flight to start your vacation. By definition risk is a measure of the potential for loss in terms of both the likelihood (events/year) of the incident and the consequences (effects/event) of the incident. In order to measure the level of risk, a systemic approach known as the risk assessment process is employed. This process can be used to assess a wide range of risks related to facilities, equipment, seismic, 911, etc. This presentation will examine the risk assessment process and see how it can be applied to address risks that may be of concern to you. The 2002 NPSS meeting schedule is available on the NPSS website at http://www.nepss.org/meetings/npss2002kf.html.

Does San Diego Require NRTL Marking to Install ITE
All, Is NRTL marking a mandatory requirement to install a CMTS router in a cable head end in San Diego? We have a 48 VDC powered CMTS router which needs to be installed in a cable operators head end in early May. Although the basic UL evaluation of the product has been completed without incident, marking authorization is not expected until late in May after the line filter vendor has approvals for the line filters. I have heard that a letter from UL or some other NRTL indicating that the product is under evaluation and listing the NRTL project number may be sufficient to install the product. If San Diego is a municipality that requires NRTL marking to install an ITE product, can a project notice letter or other procedure be used to allow early installation of the ITE product? Any assistance or information will be appreciated. Regards, Matt Campanella Compliance Engineer Motorola, Inc.

John, The Scanprot.dot file is attached. I think it is still available somewhere on Microsoft's web page if you have any problem unencoding it.
