This Month's Featured Product
Enhance Safety of DC Overhead Contract Systems with New Recommended Practice
A new standard, IEEE 1628™, "IEEE Standard Recommended Practice for Maintenance for DC Overhead Contact Systems for Transit Systems," provides guidance for start-up systems in developing manuals, methods, practices and procedures for the maintenance of their overhead contact system (OCS). The recommendations are based on engineering principles, engineering safety considerations and field experience by many transit agencies, and were developed by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society.
Included in IEEE 1628 are technical explanations to cover certain testing of tools and equipment; field maintenance and care of tools and equipment; work methods for the maintenance of the OCS; and recommended safety practices and procedures for persons working in the vicinity of energized lines.
Learn How to Test Unlicensed Wireless Devices with New Standard
A new standard, IEEE C63.10™, "American National Standard for Testing Unlicensed Wireless Devices," covers procedures for testing the compliance of a wide variety of unlicensed wireless devices (also called unlicensed intentional radiators).
Just a few of the devices covered by this standard include remote control and security unlicensed wireless devices, frequency hopping and direct sequence spread spectrum devices, cordless telephones, and automatic vehicle identification systems.
Recommended Practice Covers Testing of Linear Accelerometers
A new recommended practice standard from IEEE describes how to conduct and analyze precision tests performed on linear accelerometers using centrifuge techniques.
IEEE 836™, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Precision Centrifuge Testing of Linear Accelerometers," identifies the principal error sources encountered during precision centrifuge testing of linear accelerometers, as well as the test practices and data reduction techniques that have been found most efficient in minimizing or compensating for them.
A new amendment to IEEE Std 802.3™ covers Ethernet Organizationally Specific Type, Length, Values (TLVs), and will enable new features in several other new and forthcoming wireless Ethernet standards.
The new standard is IEEE 802.3bc™, "Standard for Information Technology - Telecommunications and Information Exchange Between Systems - Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Specific Requirements Part 3: Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications - Amendment: Ethernet Organizationally Specific Type, Length, Values (TLVs)."
Few technologies are as important to the future as those related to the smart grid.
IEEE has 93 active and in-development standards related to smart grids. Included are the more than 20 IEEE standards named in the NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 1.0. The NIST report describes a high-level reference model for the Smart Grid, identifies existing standards that can be used now to support Smart Grid development, and identifies high-priority gaps for which new or revised standards are needed.
The IEEE Standards Association has active presences on most of the major online social networks. You can connect with other members, watch informative videos, conduct online meetings, get the latest IEEE-SA news, and more!
