Who should attend?
This practical course has been designed by the author to benefit engineering professionals involved with the technical aspects of magnetic design. This course would provide managers, design engineers, project engineers, system engineers and even the novice the opportunity to explore in depth the state-of-the-art of practical magnetic design. Anyone involved in switch mode power conversion, power processing, and solid-state lighting would benefit from this course.

Polymer Chemistry for Engineers & Technologists Monday, November 3 – 8:30 am until 4:30 pm Instructor: Dr. James V. Masi- JM Design Consultants

Who should attend?
The purpose of this course is to introduce polymers/plastics to a broad cross section of engineers and technologists who have a need to gain, improve, or refresh their knowledge of polymers/plastics. This course is intended for technologists, engineering technologists, and professionals in the plastics industry, engineers, and engineering managers. The course stresses the fundamentals of materials and processing, with examples attendant to each topical section. Demonstration labs will be given on site and by animated applets.

Course Description:

The course will be presented by means of demonstration, PowerPoint slides, experiment (real and virtual), and parts display. Each participant will be given software, PDF files of the presentation (hard copy as well), links to key websites, and samples of small parts made of various polymers fabricated by different processes (to be handed out on completion of course). Ample time will be allowed for Q&A.

Dr. James V. Masi received his B.S. in Physics from Fairfield University, the M.S. in Physics from Long Island U., and the Ph.D. in Materials Science from the Univ. of Delaware. He has over 45 years experience in industry and academia and has worked and researched in solid state devices, liquid crystals, corrosion, semiconductors, luminescence, energy devices, electromagnetics, dental materials, and other areas of materials science. He joined Western New England College in 1980 and is presently professor emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Bioengineering. He was Exec. Dir of The Northeast Center for Telecom. Technologies (NSF Center of Excellence) from 1997-2001. He is presently a research professor at the University of Southern Maine. He is retired and is a consultant in JM Design consultants. He holds over 60 patents, has authored over 140 articles and papers, and has authored 3 books and 3 videotapes. He is a member of the IEEE, ASME, ASM, SPIE, ECS, AVS, AAPT, and is a fellow of the AIMBE.

EMI - From Test Data to Final Filter Design Monday, November 3 – 8:30 am until 4:30 pm Instructor: Richard Lee (Oz) Ozenbaugh- Ozenbaugh Engineering

"Why is my 60dB Filter only giving me 22dB loss?"This EMI Design Course covers the basic concepts, the various filter types covering the advantages and disadvantages of each and how to calculate the component values for these filters. Three phase filters are covered. Load and source impedance's are covered. The design of these component values follows. All of this information is for both differential and common made applications. This seminar discusses the required high frequency losses and how to extend the frequency response of the lower frequency components to add to this loss. The filter enclosures are also discussed, such as the best aspect rations for these cases to avoid common filter problems. This covers component layout such as inductor quadrature. Very high current filters are also discussed showing design examples and a list of reasons why they should not be used. At the end of the day, each attendee will design a filter and the design will be discussed.

Coil Manufacturing Technology Monday, November 3 – 8:30 am until 4:30 pm Instructor: Brian Pressley – Past EMCWA President

This course is designed as an introduction to coil manufacturing for those entering the electrical manufacturing industry. Materials, constructions, processes and machinery involved in the manufacture of small transformers, solenoids, sensors, shaded pole motors and similar devices will be covered. Electrical design will not be covered. Information required by a winding machinery vendor will be discussed in detail.

The Basics of Balancing & Motor Component Balancing in Low and High Volume Applications Monday, November 3 – 8:30 am until 4:30 pm Instructor: Jeff Franklin- American Hofmann

This one day short course covers Basic Balancing Technology Definitions, covering Single, Couple, and Two Plane Balancing Theory. In addition, topics covered are:

• Establishing Balance Tolerances
• Anatomy of a Balancing Machine
• Errors in the Balancing Process
• Operational Speed Balancing for Complete Motor Assemblies

Workbooks, PowerPoint presentation and other course aids provided with program.
