Railroads traveling at 60-120 km/h are now replaced by HSR lines served by 300-350 km/h trains. As construction of freeways enabled long-distance travel by car and jet planes replaced boat travel over oceans, HSR is now replacing many car and air trips in many 100-1300 km long corri-dors in Japan, Europe and China. North America is far behind in these devel-opments. Technical developments, HSR rapid growth and short-sighted transportation policies in North America will be dis-cussed. Biography: Dr. Vuchic is Emeritus Professor of Transportation Systems Engineering at the University of Penn-sylvania in Philadelphia, which he joined in 1967. He has lectured at over 100 other universities and at many pro-fessional conferences. His research, fo-cusing mostly on urban transportation systems, planning and policies, has been published in his “Transit Trilogy” books, which have been translated into several languages. He has been con-sultant to US Department of Transpor-tation, cities of Belgrade, Beijing, Li-ma, Naples, Perth, Philadelphia, Rome, Singapore and transit agencies BART, WMATA, NYCT, SEPTA, TTC, Mos-cow Metro, and many others. Professor Vuchic retired in 2010. In 2011 he received Honorary Doctorate from the CNAM University in Paris, in

2014 from the University of Waterloo in Canada. In 2014 the American Pub-lic Transportation Association gave him a Lifetime of Academic Achieve-ment Award.

Second Talk Cyber Security for Physical Systems Zachary Birnbaum, Ph.D. Abstract: The omnipresence and reli-ance on Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) coupled with the steadily increasing number of cyber-attacks against these key systems gives cause for great con-cern. Although often located behind the scenes, Cyber Physical Systems are vitally important to maintaining opera-tions in industries such as electric, wa-ter, oil, energy, chemical, transporta-tion, food, and manufacturing. These systems are often critical, highly inter-connected and mutually dependent. As demonstrated by Stuxnet, there is a pressing need for solutions able to de-fend Cyber Physical Systems against both simple and complex cyber-attacks. Traditionally, cyber-attacks have been detected using a binary signature ap-proach, but this approach has key limi-tations including an inability to detect zero day attacks and polymorphic mal-ware. Conversely, behavioral anomaly detection can provide a solution to tar-

of 20




geted attacks, as an attack is likely to introduce some distortion to observable system activity. By observing behavior, and building normalcy models, cyber-attacks can be detected by performing behavioral analysis at a higher semantic level. In this presentation I will begin with a short introduction to cyber security framed by the Confidentiality Integrity Availability model. I will then discuss several cyber security applications and methods as they relate to ICS control-lers and UAVs.

Biography: Dr. Zachary Birnbaum re-ceived B.S. (2012) and Ph.D. (2015) degrees in Electrical Engineering from Binghamton University. He is current-ly a researcher at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab and a faculty member of the Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engi-neering for Professionals Program. His research areas include Cyber Physical Systems security, behavioral analysis, and cyber threat modeling.

MESSAGE FROM THE Chair Peter Silverberg, LSM, P.E. Facts that you know: Cell phones, clar-

inets, and cars do not magically ap-pear in stores. There is a lot of engineering be-hind them. Also, your career is limited to a max-imum of 75

years. New engineers will be needed. And, you live here – in the Delaware Valley. I am leading up to STEM action that will get the young pupils aiming for a career in these fields. Exposure to actu-al practitioners is part of this inspira-tion.

We had a guest at the February 14 ADCOM meeting – Bill Shorts of iPraxis. He did a presentation about an organization in this space. The mission is stated: “iPraxis creates opportunity for at-risk students attending public middle schools in Philadelphia’s low income communities to increase their interests and exposure to science, tech-nology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines through inquiry and project based learning.

iPraxis started in 2004. It has active projects in seven local schools:

• Belmont Charter, • Cook-Wissahickon,

of 20




• Stearne, • Martha Washington, • Henry C. Lea, Northwood acad-

emy. • Duckrey School.

At each school the actions are five: • mentoring, • science fairs, • afterschool clubs, • presentations, and • celebrating.

Where does the Section fit in? iPraxis is not looking for money. It is looking for mentors and judges for the science fairs. By the time you read this, some dates will be in the past. Here are some open possibilities:

• Belmont Charter School, 4030 Brown St. – Science fair o March 2nd.

• Henry C. Lea School, 4700 Lo-cust St. –Mentoring Tuesdays. o Five 40 min. slots until May

11, and o science fair May 18

• Northwood Academy C.S., 4621 Castor Avenue o Science Fair, May 17

• Philadelphia Science Festival, Penn’s Landing o April 29.

To officially register as a volunteer contact: Bill Shorts (Volunteer Manag-er) 215.605.3279, [email protected], or www.ipraxis.org.

You do not need to go through me or the section office but I would like to know who did get interested. If these dates are filled, but you are open to volunteer after the summer; call Bill Shorts. Other: Two additions to ADCOM:

• PACE Chair is Fallon Kider, • Student Representative is Jason

Fisch. • As of today, ED/CPMT has need

for a chair. Contact me or Marvin Weilerstein. We have authorized a delegation to Congressional Visits Day, April 25-26. If you have never gone, this is educa-tional. Two vacancies exist for first-time dele-gates. To get on the list contact Emilio Salgueiro: [email protected]. The new $9 charge for PDH certificates has met with justified complaints. I am looking for different approaches to this.

Congratulations to Maida Engineering. The 3000 HP Wind Tunnel System in Mexicali Mexico was awarded the Out-standing Engineering Achievement Program by the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers. Joe Maida is an IEEE Senior Member.

IEEE Life Member Tour April 18, 2017, Delran, NJ

By M. Robert Paglee, P.E. (Ret.), IEEE LM The IEEE Life Member Group has scheduled a tour of the New Jersey American Water plant in Delran NJ on April 18. The tour will start at 9:00 am and can last up to two hours. The Delaware River Regional Water Treatment Plant was built and a pipe-line was laid to serve a number of rap-idly growing communities in southern NJ near Philadelphia. Water is drawn from the Delaware River, treated thor-oughly and distributed to reduce the rate of well water being withdrawn from underground aquifers. The plant can process more than 40 million gallons of water daily to pro-vide high quality water for hundreds of thousands of New Jersey residents. It utilizes three of the most high-tech wa-ter treatment processes -- ozonation, clarification and filtration.

The water is disinfected by introduc-ing ozone to destroy bacteria. Ferric chloride and a binding agent is added to form sticky particles called "floc". The water then enters the bottom of a basin where the floc is captured before passing through several layers of grav-el and granular activated carbon to fil-ter out small particles and organic ma-

terials. It is then disinfected by intro-ducing chlorine to destroy bacteria and microorganisms; subsequently it is transferred to a closed tank or reser-voir for further disinfection. Water quality is continuously monitored by computerized online analyzers before being pumped into the distribution system.

Registration: The tour is open to IEEE members and others, but it is neces-sary to phone the IEEE Office at (484) 270-5136 to make a reservation, as space will be limited to 25 visitors. You must provide your name, employ-er's name (or "Retired"), citizenship (if not U.S.A., country where you now re-side), e-mail and mailing addresses. The list will be finalized and submit-ted by April 13 no additions are possi-ble beyond that date. A government issued Photo ID and appropriate clothing are required. Wear long pants or slacks (no dresses), no sandals, no open-toe or high-heel shoes. No large bags or back-packs are allowed inside the facility and any item considered suspicious must be taken outside the facility.

Tour Description: The tour will begin with an orientation that includes safety and security briefing, emergency pro-cedures. Picture taking is not permit-ted at American Water facilities except in designated areas. Please Note: Cameras and mobile phones which incorporate cameras are not permitted to be used while touring the facility.

Directions: Situated beside the Dela-ware River, the Delaware River Re-gional Water Treatment Plant is locat-ed at 213 Carriage Lane, Delran, NJ. Traveling south on Route 130, about 1/8 mile south of Tenby Chase Drive turn right at "Auto Complex" sign at Carriage Lane; the Treatment Building is at the bottom of Carriage Lane. Park to the left of the Administration Building just inside the fence.

OUTSTANDING ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM

Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers, Philadelphia Chapter Outstanding Engineering Achievement

3000 HP Wind Tunnel System Maida Engineering

Maida Engineering served as a de-sign consultant and subcontractor to Aerolab to provide a "Turnkey" open-jet wind tunnel air delivery system for Honeywell. Maida was responsible for the project from the conceptual phase through full commissioning, including en-gineering, design and system inte-gration.

The system was designed at Mai-da's office in Philadelphia and con-structed in Mexicali, Mexico. It consists of a 415,000 CFM blower with dampers and silencers, a 3,000 HP medium voltage motor, drive train coupling, a 3,000 HP medium voltage variable frequency drive, and a PLC-based monitoring and control system. Key criteria for consideration of an effort for the Outstanding Engi-neering Achievement award are its demonstration of engineering chal-lenges and innovative solutions and its importance to the engineer-ing profession.

The project demonstrates engineer-ing challenges and innovative solu-

tions, including the integration of a blower, motor and VFD that will perform as required under harsh conditions with no mistakes, there-by enabling Honeywell to maintain its commitments, and the modifica-tion of commercially available equipment to meet the operational requirements of the wind tunnel.

The project's importance to the en-gineering profession to society is demonstrated through the function of the wind tunnel, which will be used for performance and endur-ance testing of equipment enhanc-ing the safety of large commercial and military aircraft. Additionally, the wind tunnel would not be able to exist without the blower, motor, VFD and PLC System which are engineered products and systems.

HISTORICAL NOTES Electric Transportation By Ernest B. Cohen, Ph.D. There are two basic forms of electri-cally propelled transportation; Those which utilize batteries, and those which pick up the power as they go. Of course, such technology as the San Francisco cable cars are now powered electrically, but the original installa-tion probably used a steam engine to power the cables. And the two basic forms can be mixed. The SEPTA trol-ley buses have enough battery capaci-ty so that they can get around an emergency street closure. And now there is a new technology, the hybrid car. In 2004, after voting on Election Day, we took our new Honda hybrid on the auto train to Flor-ida, and rambled back home seeing people in many cities. We drove 2500 miles, and averaged 52 MPG. The on-ly problem was on the Interstate through the Maryland panhandle, which crosses a number of small mountains. Halfway up a mountain, the assist battery would be drained, and halfway down the next mountain it would be fully charged, and would not accept any more energy. Besides hybrids, we have seen the re-turn of the electric car. I am sure that when Edison invented the nickel-iron storage battery he hoped to market it

for electric cars, but the gasoline inter-nal combustion engine killed both elec-tric and steam cars over a century ago. I wrote about my youthful interest in rail transit systems, including trolleys, back in June. In 1946, I had an oppor-tunity to see more of America. Until then, with one minor exception, I had only seen New York City. I was 14, when with the end of wartime gasoline rationing in 1956, my father decided to take driving vacation, with the ex-cuse of seeing customers in the Mid-west, and I was the lucky child to be asked to go along. On the way west, one of the stops was Cleveland, and I enjoyed seeing one of the oldest urban trolley routes on a private right of way. Then on to Chicago. I obviously took the opportunity to ride the elevated trains on the loop line around downtown Chicago. On to Milwaukee, where I saw an immense interurban trolley setting out for Madi-son, Wisconsin. We crossed into Canada at the Sault Saint Marie, and drove east across Ontario. As we approached Sudbury, I sudden-ly saw tracks alongside the road, and a trolley car. (This must have

of 20




been very similar to the service to West Chester, which I missed riding by a few months.) We passed through Toronto, which still has the largest trolley system on this continent, but the hotels were ful-ly booked, so we continued on to Buf-falo to find a room for the night. Coming near Niagara Falls, I noticed that the street lights flickered a bit. I later learned that the power in this area was 25 Hertz.

I hope that the promise to upgrade the American transportation system is not limited to roads and airports. Across the world, there has recently been ma-jor investment in electric railroads and electric transit, and we are discovering that cities based on cars, like Los Ange-les, do not really work well.

Dear Friend of Science Education, December 29, 2016

The Montgomery County Science Teachers’ Association and Ursinus College are cosponsors of

the Montgomery County Science Research Competition. This year, the 60th Montgomery

County Science Fair will be held March 7th through March 10th at Ursinus College (601 E. Main Street, Collegeville, PA 19426). Over 500 students will be presenting their projects in disciplines including math, ecology, computer science, biochemistry, physics and engineering,

and microbiology. Students put a lot of time and energy into a scientific problem, carrying out

an experiment, interpreting results, and then presenting the information both visually and

verbally.

As the coordinator for Special Awards, I am again looking for individuals in the community to

serve as Special Award judges. Your knowledge of the scientific process enables us to better

assess students and distribute awards in a more impartial manner.

Judging takes place on Wednesday, March 8th with High School grades 9-12 (Div A, B, C, & D) judged from 9am – 12 noon and Middle School (Div E) judged from 2pm-5pm.

If you are interested in serving as a Special Awards judge, please return the enclosed form to me

either by mail, fax, or email by February 1, 2017. Additional information regarding directions

and judging information will be sent to you. In addition, please recruit any colleagues who

might also enjoy the experience. If you have any contacts for a sponsoring a Special Award, I

would appreciate any new way to honor our students' hard work (especially at the Middle School

level).

On behalf of the Montgomery County Science Teachers’ Association, I want to thank you for

considering judging at the Montgomery County Science Research Competition. The parents,

teachers and most importantly, the students, will appreciate your donation of time and expertise.

Your assistance may be just the encouragement one of our students needs to ignite a lifelong

interest in science.

Sincerely, Valerie AS Denny

Competition 2017


Dear Colleague in Science, January 1, 2017

On behalf of the Montgomery County Science Teachers’ Association, I would like to take this

opportunity to introduce you to the Montgomery County Science Research Competition. Throughout the

year, students work on research projects under the direction of a sponsor or teacher. As a culmination of

their work, the students representing the public, private and parochial schools of Montgomery County,

display their research and share their discoveries with judges from industries and universities in the local

area.

This year, the 60th Montgomery County Science Fair will be held on March 7- March 10 at Ursinus

College. Over 500 students will be presenting their projects in disciplines including math, ecology,

computer science, biochemistry, physics and engineering, behavioral sciences and botany with students

competing at the High School and Middle School levels. While there is a recognition given to the best of

these projects in each category, special awards further encourage the students. An award given by a

respected company or organization adds prestige and value to the work these young scientists have

completed.

The research done by Montgomery County students is impressive. Some students have patents pending,

and several have spent the summer working at the labs of prominent scientists in the area and some have

even been published. Montgomery County students continue on to other regional and international fairs

where they do very well, coming home with medals, special awards and scholarships.

We are asking that you please consider supporting our students by sponsoring one or more Special

Awards this year. You may decide the category and age division of your award, such as high school

botany, horticultural or environmental science. We request that you would consider making the Special

Award a monetary award and also consider sending a judge (or judges). Judging takes place on

Wednesday, March 8 with the high school students presenting their projects in the morning and the

middle school students presenting their projects after lunch. You are also welcome to present your award

at the awards ceremony on March 10th at Ursinus College.

Attached you will find a form that should be returned to me either by mail, fax, or email if you are

sponsoring an Award. An additional form regarding judging is also included.

Thank you again for your consideration. Your assistance may be just the encouragement one of county’s

students needs to ignite a lifelong interest in science.

Sincerely,

Valerie AS Denny

Topic: Fundamentals of Autotransformers

Speaker: Ronnie Minhaz, Transformer Consulting Services, Inc. Professional Development Hours: Attendees may apply for 1.5 PDH upon completion of lecture. Meeting date/time: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm Meeting location: Bossone Research Enterprise Center, Room 302, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA (next to the LeBow Engineering Center, at 3126 Market St. between 31st and 32nd St.) Cost of meeting: No charge for attending. However, a charge will be collected for PDHs. Reservations: Attendees are requested to register.

Registration Link: Vtools Registration If you have any questions, please contact Brandon Swartley at [email protected] or 856-986-1221.

The IEEE Philadelphia Section website can be found at: http://sites.ieee.org/philadelphia/

Abstract: Autotransformers have weight and overall dimensions that are less than two-winding transformers of the same outputs, thus allowing them to transform larger capacities per unit size. However, autotransformer design and application require special attention and careful study. This presentation will assist end-users how to specify reliable and economical auto-transformers. Differences in designs of two- winding and auto transformers will be discussed along with types of taps, their electrical connection, physical location, and effects on cost and design. In addition, methods to specify autotransformers that meet system needs and the influence of taps on maintenance and operation will be presented.

Speaker: Mr. Minhaz holds a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Manitoba, Canada. Before founding his own company, Transformer Consulting Services, Inc., Mr. Minhaz worked as a transformer designer at Pauwels Canada, a major transformer manufacturer. He has also worked for Canadian utilities and large substation engineering and construction companies. Ronnie is a registered professional engineer in the province of Alberta, Canada and an IEEE senior member. He has held various leadership positions at IEEE Section level and is a member of the PES society.
