Communications in 2022: From 5G to the Metaverse - Electronic Design

mivo.indah.link

• How far will 5G go in 2022?
• The promise of satellites to fulfill relentless demands for faster datacom speeds.
• Spectral computing glasses and holographic cellphones.
  

With communication technology constantly evolving, it’s always difficult to predict what to expect in the near term and further down the road. Some new products and services can be imagined by just regularly following the trends, technology changes, and rumors. But others are impossible to identify. Here’s my view of what you might see in 2022 and beyond.

5G Rollout

A build-out of the 5G network is a given. Market research firm Allied Market Research estimates that 5G annual compound growth rate (CAGR) will be as much as 67% and totaling about 48 billion by 2027. Much of that goes into new cell sites, perhaps as many as 100,000 mini sites or more, to provide the promised coverage and benefits of 5G.

Some of that rollout money will go to solving various 5G problems and limitations. One of these is the very short range and lack of penetrating power of 5G in the millimeter-wave bands. Indoor coverage is poor or non-existent at these higher frequencies. More cell sites and improved higher-gain antennas are part of the solution. Agile beamforming phased arrays and MIMO will provide improvements.

Another problem is the recent complaint that new cell sites using the new C band (3.7 to 4.4 GHz) and are located near airports may cause interference to commercial aircraft altimeters. These instruments are super-critical when taking off and landing, especially in bad weather. The FCC and FAA along with the cellular operators are trying to find a solution. Using lower power, keeping the cell sites more than two miles from the runways, as well as updating dated radio altimeters, may be part of the solution.   

It appears that the solution to using 5G in forthcoming advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) is resolved. Apparently, C-V2X won out over DSRC for implementation in these systems. Auto manufacturers have a variety of rollout plans.

C-V2X radios could find its way into some new vehicles by the end of 2022, but 2023 may be more realistic. Besides, it will take years before enough C-V2X-equipped vehicles are on the road to make it effective. The related Intelligent Transportation System infrastructure also will take time to install. Eventually, we will see a great new way to reduce traffic accidents.

6G

In the meantime, 6G is under development. Not too many specifics are available, but it involves higher operating frequencies as well artificial intelligence (AI). 6G uses frequencies in the 30-GHz to 3-THz range, which allow for even faster data rates as well as near zero latency. Indoor operation continues to be a challenge.

AI and machine learning (ML) will probably manage the network and spectrum allocations. As with 5G, antenna technologies like phased arrays and MIMO will certainly be a major part of the solutions. 6G likely won’t arrive until 2030, though.

Artificial Intelligence

AI isn’t a new technology, and engineers and programmers have rediscovered it in the form of machine learning. When we speak of AI today, almost everyone assumes we are talking about ML. But the field of AI covers lots more than that. Yet I expect ML applications will begin to dominate as designers discover its potential. New Years’ resolution: Learn more about AI.

Satellites

The demand for ever-faster data communications keeps building, yet the industry still lags behind in supplying it. Many believe satellites are the answer. Satellites have long been a solution to multiple communications needs. Over 5000 satellites currently orbit the earth. These radio relay stations in the sky are used for communications as well as surveillance, navigation, and TV distribution. Coming soon are cellular service and expanded high-speed internet service to any place on Earth.

Elon Musk’s satellite company Starlink is building a huge low-Earth-orbit (LEO) network that will potentially provide high-speed internet service to rural areas not now served by the usual cellular providers. LEO satellites usually orbit from 150 to 300 miles above the Earth, making them more accessible to radio signals to and from Earth-bound radios. The FCC has authorized over 11,000 new satellites for this system. Several hundred satellites are already in place thanks to Musk’s SpaceX rocket launching capability.

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos also is building a LEO network called Kuiper. The company has been given authorization from the FCC to launch up to 3,236 satellites. Bezos’ Blue Origin company will handle the rocket launches.

It’s difficult to picture 15,000 or more satellites orbiting overhead. Will they block the sun and thus darken the sky, thereby providing an unexpected partial solution to the global warming problem? Both amateur and professional astronomers are complaining about the satellites, since they make it difficult to observe the real stars and planets. RF interference between satellites is another problem, as are satellite collisions. Needless to say, many satellite problems still must be solved.

Drones

Another growth area for the year involves drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Considerable development has occurred over last few years, making them useful in many applications. The market for UAVs is said will grow to over $100 billion in the coming years.

Military UAVs of many forms have already been put into use, with more to come. Commercial applications continue to emerge slowly, but UAVs are proving to be quite handy tools across many fields including agriculture, construction, transportation, firefighting, surveying, and police work. And who’s to say that a UAV will not be a viable future self-driving vehicle?

Out of the Blue

As this is being written, rumors suggest that we will soon get holographic cellphones. A hologram is a photograph made by shining the coherent light of a laser at an object or scene and recording it on some form of photosensitive medium. When played back using a laser and the recorded medium, the hologram will appear in space in the original 3D form. That’s certainly a breakthrough, but I wonder who needs it.

Another rumor implies that Apple will replace the iPhone with something called Spectral Computing Glasses (SCG). These are similar to the glasses introduced by Google in 2013, but more advanced. The Google product never caught on and soon faded away.

SCG are vastly improved, as the speculation data available implies they will have the functionality of an iPhone. The glasses you will look through are not only a computer screen, but also function to produce augmented-reality (AR) and virtual-reality (VR) capability. The glasses can be operated by voice command, arm and hand, and eye movements. All other iPhone functions are supposedly implemented. Will the SCG really kill the smartphone?

Can you imagine all of us wearing these glasses instead of constantly looking down at our iPhones? Most people are addicted to their phones, but putting on these SCG will just about dominate your actions and life more than your phone does now. Will everyone have to take off her or his glasses at meetings or the dinner table? Smartphones already consume our lives now, but can you imagine the near total control of SCG on your life?

What Else May We See?

Finally, there is the forthcoming Metaverse. While its definition is continually being revised, the Metaverse is apparently an advanced version of the internet. It will use AR and VR to make the internet more interactive with gaming, meetings, and personal communications. Don’t expect much this year, but it’s something to keep your eye on.

Hopefully a continuing semiconductor shortage will not materially affect too many of these expected developments.

The Battle Over Electric Vehicles — Could Hydrogen Win? - BRINK

Automakers are dedicated to growing both hydrogen fueling stations and hydrogen-powered vehicles, so more FCEVs are on the way.

As the future of automotive power heads away from the internal combustion engine toward electric vehicle technology, the industry now has two options: fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), which are vehicles that use hydrogen as the fuel source, and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which are vehicles that rely solely on battery power or electricity.  

According to a recent PreScouter Intelligence Brief, in the absence of an infrastructure to enable FCEVs, BEVs remain the more appealing option today. However, this could change within the next five to 10 years as investments in hydrogen production and infrastructure increase, potentially pushing FCEVs to outperform BEVs in some segments and become the more sustainable alternative.

PreScouter’s researchers based their analysis on expert insights from Dr. Bostjan Hari, battery systems engineer, through a concise review of impending technical and business opportunities for FCEVs in addition to highlighting 11 technological advancements in the realm of FCEV manufacturers.

How Does a FCEV Work?

FCEVs are electric vehicles that get their power from a hydrogen fuel cell instead of a battery. A fuel cell system is the heart of an FCEV. The electricity is produced by the electrochemical reactions between hydrogen and oxygen supplied into FCEV hydrogen tanks. Only pure, distilled water is produced as a byproduct. FCEVs use this electricity for traction and require the battery for auxiliary operations such as starting or storing energy gained by regenerative braking.

The key distinction between FCEVs and BEVs is the energy source. FCEVs, in contrast to BEVs, rely on the energy stored in the vehicle’s fuel cells, which have a number of advantages over batteries. As long as fuel is available to power the fuel cell, it can generate energy. This is one of the most significant advantages of fuel cells. 

A typical electric automobile can be fully charged in slightly over six hours, whereas an FCEV could be refueled in five minutes and have a range of more than 350 miles. A modest amount of hydrogen can go a long way. Hydrogen production is an energy-efficient chemical process that yields fuel cells with a performance advantage of two to three times over internal combustion engines. Users will be able to travel as far as they do today on only a third of the fuel.

How Do FECVs and BEVs Compare in Regard to Environmental Friendliness?

FCEVs are also the best option in terms of environmental impact, as fuel cells can be a 100% renewable and environmentally friendly energy system. In the absence of adequate recycling systems, the lithium-ion batteries used in BEVs are expected to cause a serious environmental crisis when they reach the end of their useful lives.

While driving, the car emits pure water vapor and filters ultrafine dust from the atmosphere. This fundamental feature of the FCEV has drawn a lot of public attention as the future of eco-friendly mobility. This technology may have a huge impact on our lifestyle in terms of sustainability due to the abundance of hydrogen on Earth and the production process itself being highly eco-friendly.

Overall, FCEVs are cleaner than BEVs and internal combustion vehicles, with additional room for improvement as hydrogen generation and distribution advances. FCEV production is also cleaner than BEV production due to fewer raw material requirements compared to BEV mineral mining and the consumption of heavy metals such as lithium and cobalt. FCEVs are also easier (and cheaper) to recycle than BEVs.

What Is the Status of the Global FCEV Market?

Global FCEV deployment has been primarily focused on light-duty passenger cars. However, the geographical distribution of FCEVs varies significantly. Korea, the United States and Japan have concentrated on passenger cars, with a small number of buses and commercial vehicles. 

On the other hand, with its fuel cell bus and commercial vehicle policies, China today dominates worldwide stocks in these segments. This trend is anticipated to continue, as China’s 2020 fuel cell car subsidy policy focuses on employing fuel cells in medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. China has set a goal of using over one million FCEVs for commercial purposes by 2030.

There will be more fuel cell buses and trucks in Europe in the near future. More than a thousand buses are planned during the next decade. The Port of Rotterdam and Air Liquide have developed an initiative to deploy 1,000 fuel cell trucks by 2025, and a joint call signed by over 60 industrial partners aims for up to 100,000 trucks by 2030. The IEA forecasts that fuel cell manufacturing could produce six million FCEVs by 2030, meeting roughly 40% of the “Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario” needs.

Global technical regulations are continually updated to assure global FCEV safety. International standards are used to build localized safety regulations and laws for FCEVs. They usually incorporate electrical and hydrogen safety requirements.

Hydrogen Tanks Are Bulky in Vehicles

Because hydrogen has a poor volumetric energy density, storing enough onboard poses weight, volume, kinetics, safety and cost challenges. Hydrogen can only be stored under high pressure, at extremely low temperatures as a liquid, or in metal hydride systems to maximize volumetric energy density.

Compressed hydrogen is the most used method for storing hydrogen in cars. Passenger FCEVs’ compressed hydrogen tanks are cumbersome and take up a lot of space. This is a flaw in the current generation of electric cars powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen metal or non-metal hydrides could be used in the future as a replacement for heavy hydrogen tanks. This is just beginning to take shape, with hydrogen evaporation remaining a key technical problem to overcome.

Honda and Nissan chose a 350 bar (5,000 psi) pressurized tank, while Toyota employs 700 bar (10,000 psi) tanks. Although the 10,000 psi composite tanks have been proved to be quite safe as needed by various regulatory requirements, the public is concerned about their safety. Moreover, the tank proportions require more space than traditional petrol tanks.

FCEVs won’t be commercially viable unless buyers are satisfied that they will be able to easily access refueling stations. Thus, the adoption of fuel cell vehicles should be complemented with enabling infrastructure. According to H2 Tools, by the end of 2021, there were over 492 hydrogen refueling stations operating globally. Japan had about 141 stations, followed by South Korea (112) and Germany (91).

The GM Electrovan was the first fuel cell-powered passenger car developed by General Motors in 1966. The project was shelved because of the high cost, difficulty and scarcity of fuel supply. The still-active California Fuel Cell Partnership was created in 1999 to facilitate the testing and development of FCEVs in the United States. It has included representatives from the majority of major automakers at various points in time, although mainly only three have brought fuel cell vehicles to market so far.

Many automakers currently sell or lease FCEVs, but the technology is still new. Honda, Hyundai and Toyota are just a few of the companies on the top list. However, automakers are dedicated to growing both hydrogen fueling stations and hydrogen-powered vehicles, so more FCEVs are on the way, but while all of today’s fuel cell vehicles are considered mass-market production vehicles, none are now available outside of California in the United States. Many of them were only available in limited numbers, and Honda’s has never been sold, only leased, since its debut.

Can Hydrogen Fuel Cells Become the EV Technology of Choice?

Several studies, including one by Argonne National Laboratory, have demonstrated that creating and using hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles is more environmentally friendly than using grid electricity to power battery EVs. Hydrogen could be created using wind and solar energy, or by decomposing plant materials; however, these processes take longer and cost more money.

“Nothing worth having comes easy,” as President Roosevelt once said. The commercialization of FCEVs on the market is moving at a moderate pace at the moment. 

So, who will win the EV battle? The answer: Battery and fuel cell technologies will coexist in the future because of their obvious similarities, with BEVs being more appropriate for short-range and small vehicles, and FCEVs the better choice for medium-to-large and long-range vehicles.

The Cameron Center has installed two commercial grade-smart EV charging stations that are both now fully operational.

The new stations replace earlier versions installed and operated by the Hitachi Corporation in a pilot project on Maui to expand charging station availability. Hitachi is no longer involved in the project.

The stations were installed by Lite Electric, located in Wailuku.

Existing state law requires that any establishment with 100 or more parking spaces must install electric charging stations.

In 2019, greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles were the largest contributor of US greenhouse emissions, accounting for roughly 29% of the total US greenhouse gas emissions.

The 2020 Hawai’i State Data Book found 148,660 total passenger vehicles in Maui County, but of that only 1,600 were electric vehicles, or 1.1%.

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD

According to a report by CNBC, one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption is America’s charging network. There are roughly 136,400 gas stations in the US, but just 43,800 EV charging stations, according to the Department of Energy. It also takes about 10 minutes to fill a car with a tank of gas, but about 45 minutes to fully charge an EV, sometimes longer. Charging times are expected to be reduced in the future.

Cesar Gaxiola, executive director of the J. Walter Cameron Center made the announcement, saying the center is pleased to be a part of the effort to combat climate change, provide electric vehicle charging stations and provide an environmentally safe way for the public to travel.

California Leads the Nation's ZEV Market, Surpassing 1 Million Electric Vehicles Sold | California Governor - Office of Governor Gavin Newsom

mivo.indah.link

New data show that California’s ZEV market is leading the nation in every category, including support for low-income EV consumers

California’s 1 million electric vehicles sold surpasses the total sales in the next 10 states combined, and it’s seven times more than the next closest state

Governor Newsom is advancing a historic $10 billion ZEV package to expand access and affordability, support build-out of infrastructure

SACRAMENTO – As California’s booming zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) market continues to lead the nation, Governor Gavin Newsom lifted up the state surpassing 1 million plug-in electric cars, pickup trucks, SUVs and motorcycles sold in California – more than the total sales in the next 10 states combined. New data also show that California, with only 10 percent of the nation’s cars, now accounts for over 40 percent of all zero-emission cars in the country.

The Governor traveled to Stockton this week to visit Michael Macias, the owner of the millionth electric vehicle sold in California. Macias, a Central Valley native, received several rebates and tax credits on his purchase of a new Volkswagen ID.4. Watch the Governor’s conversation with Michael here.

“This milestone is a testament to the success of California’s nation-leading policies and investments to support our bold ZEV goals while driving down costs for all,” said Governor Newsom. “Creating a clean transportation future is the most impactful step we can take to fight climate change. We’ll continue using our market dominance and historic investments to accelerate the ZEV transition globally while expanding access and affordability across the state, especially in underserved neighborhoods.”

Bolstering a critical component of California’s climate action, the Governor has advanced bold investments and policies to move forward on the state’s ZEV goals, including the California Blueprint’s proposed $6.1 billion in additional funding to create a $10 billion total ZEV package. The historic investment will help make ZEVs more affordable and convenient for all Californians. The state has also implemented targeted policies to help more middle- and low-income consumers buy these ultra-clean vehicles. To date, over 30,000 low-income consumers have been assisted under the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, which will now only apply to affordably priced electric vehicles.

“Investing in a ZEV was the perfect opportunity to put my principles of being a good steward of the earth into practice,” said Macias. “The rebates available in California are a huge help for middle class and low-income individuals who feel priced out, and help make sure the communities most impacted by pollution and climate change have the chance to benefit from ZEVs.”

Over the past 10 years, annual sales of plug-in electric vehicles in California have gone from just 7,000 in 2011 to more than a quarter of a million sold in 2021, making up more than 12 percent of all light-duty vehicle sales last year. California also leads the nation in all other zero-emission vehicle metrics, including the highest level of public funding, the largest EV market share percentage and the most extensive public charging infrastructure. The success of the state’s programs has led to ZEVs becoming a top export, and has spurred major advances in manufacturing and job creation.

4 Supercharged Electric Vehicle Stocks to Buy in 2022 and Beyond - Motley Fool

mivo.indah.link

Electrification of transport is an unstoppable trend. President Joe Biden wants to make 50% of all vehicle sales to be electric by 2030. Top automakers have also announced intentions to increase their electric vehicle (EV) sales in sync with this target. 

Here are four top stocks for you to consider if you are looking to hop on the EV bandwagon.

Rivian Automotive

Rivian Automotive ( RIVN -0.44% ) captivated Wall Street's attention with its mega initial public offering (IPO). The euphoria for Rivian sent the stock's market cap above $150 billion at one point. The stock has corrected significantly -- off more than 60% its all-time high price.

Image source: Rivian.

As an early mover in the electric pickup truck segment, Rivian is witnessing robust demand for its vehicles. What's more, its selection as MotorTrend's 2022 Truck of the Year has added to buyers' enthusiasm. Apart from a pickup truck and an SUV, Rivian has an initial order of 100,000 electric delivery vans from Amazon. Starting deliveries in September, Rivian delivered 920 vehicles in 2021. Though ramping up production is a challenge, other things have shaped well for the EV maker so far.

As a pure-play EV maker, Rivian stands to benefit from its agile operations and potential to generate higher margins compared to traditional automakers. Overall, Rivian could be a high-risk, high-reward EV bet.

Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company ( F 3.96% ) offers a relatively safer way to gain exposure to the EV growth story. While the stock may not rise as much as that of pure-play EV companies, the downside risk could also be less. Ford intends to make 40% to 50% of its vehicle sales electric by 2030. If Ford achieves that target, while also providing features like over-the-air software updates and other subscription and software services that can generate a recurring revenue stream for it, the company could see a meaningful uptick in its margins. That could pave the way for a steady rise in Ford's stock price.

Image source: Ford.

As a first step toward its goal, Ford plans to expand its yearly EV production capacity to 600,000 vehicles by the end of next year. The automaker's EV sales rose 167% year over year to 13,169 units in January. Meanwhile, Ford's driver assist system, BlueCruise, will likely be available as an over-the-air update for its F-150 and Mustang Mach-E models in this quarter. Overall, Ford seems to be moving in the right direction to be a leading EV maker few years down the line.

BYD

China accounted for roughly half of global electric vehicle sales in 2021. As a leading player in China, BYD ( BYDDY 2.40% ) ( BYDD.F 2.22% ) stands to gain from the strong growth of EVs in the Asian country. BYD sold more than 593,000 electric vehicles in 2021. Of these, nearly 273,000 were plug-in hybrids while the remaining were all-electric. This makes it one of the top three EV sellers in China.

Image source: Getty Images.

BYD's top-selling electric models include Han, Tang SUV, Yuan, Song Pro, and Quin Pro. With its lower-priced models, BYD mainly targets the mass market. Warren Buffett's firm Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A 3.73% )( BRK.B 3.55% ) holds a nearly 8% stake in BYD. Overall, BYD stock offers an attractive way to bet on the Chinese EV growth.

Volkswagen

Selling nearly 453,000 electric vehicles in 2021, Volkswagen ( VWAGY 5.08% ) is working hard to be at the top as the transport sector gets electrified. The company's 2021 EV sales rose 95% over 2020. Though electric vehicles accounted for just 5.1% of Volkswagen's sales in 2021, the company aims to raise this number to 50% by 2030. Between 2022 and 2026, the German automaker aims to spend 52 billion euros on e-mobility. Volkswagen is considering an initial public offering of Porsche, which could help unlock value for shareholders while also helping Volkswagen fund its electrification efforts. 

Image source: Volkswagen.

Volkswagen sold 8.9 million vehicles worldwide in 2021, making it the second-largest automaker in the world. Unlike several pure-play EV start-ups, Volkswagen generated roughly $22 billion in net profits in the trailing 12 months. Its huge scale of operations, strong manufacturing base, rich experience, and a strong brand are some of the factors that could help it succeed in the EV race.

Charge-density-wave induces electronic nematicity in Kagome superconductor - Phys.org

mivo.indah.link

Credit: University of Science and Technology of China

In a recent article published in Nature, a research team led by Prof. Chen Xianhui, Wu Tao and Wang Zhenyu from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found the key evidence for phase transition in a kagome superconductor CsV₃Sb₅. At a low temperature, the team observed a transition from charge-density-wave (CDW) order to electronic nematicity which was firstly described by a three-state Potts model.

On the heels of the team's previous research on triple-Q modulation of kagome superconductors and the unusual competition between superconductivity and charge-density-wave order, the team made another progress in discovering new states of electronic nematicities. They discovered that the triple-Q charge density wave state would evolve into a thermodynamically stable electron nematic phase before entering the superconducting state. They also managed to determine the transition temperature to be 35 Kelvin.

It is noteworthy that the electronic nematicity the team recently found was disparate from the nematicity in high-temperature superconductors (HTS). The electronic nematicity in HTS is the Ising type with Z₂ symmetry; in contrast, the nematic phase found in CsV₃Sb₅ had Z₃ symmetry. This particular state is theoretically described by the three-state Potts model, thus it is also called Potts nematic phase. Interestingly, this novel nematicity was also observed recently in bilayer corner graphene system.

The discovery of this phase transition not only demonstrated a novel electronic nematicity, but provided fundamental experimental evidence for further understanding of the competition between superconductivity and CDW order in kagome systems. The findings also cast new light on the understanding of pair density wave (PDW) state in HTS.

CTA unveils roadmap for conversion to an all-electric bus system by 2040 - Mass Transit Magazine

mivo.indah.link

Details of a multi-year analysis were released for the full electrification of the Chicago Transit Authority's (CTA) bus fleet. 

The study will serve as the first-ever roadmap for full-electrification of CTA’s bus fleet, facilities and supporting infrastructure by the year 2040.

“For nearly a decade, the CTA has been at the forefront of the shift to electric bus technology. As proud as I am of the progress we’ve made, we still have a long way to go,” said CTA President Dorval R. Carter, Jr. “The unveiling of the ‘Charging Forward’ planning study helps set the course for our agency’s next destination—full-electrification by 2040— all while ensuring that equity, the environment and the communities we serve are at the forefront of this next big endeavor.”

The agency notes electrifying the CTA bus fleet is a complex and challenging undertaking, which includes more than just replacing its current fleet of more then 1,800 buses. To support and maintain an all-electric bus fleet of this size, other vital upgrades and capital investments must be made to facilities and other supporting infrastructure, including charging equipment.

CTA’s existing bus fleet is housed at seven bus garages across the service region and serviced at a heavy maintenance facility on Chicago’s Far South Side—all of which will need to be substantially upgraded and retrofitted with charging infrastructure required to operate electric buses. CTA explains this is no small undertaking and requires the careful coordination of many interrelated investments and requires consistent state and federal funding support to achieve an ambitious target.

"We’re excited to see one of our regional partners set a bold vision for cleaner air and a more resilient future in northeastern Illinois,” said Erin Aleman, executive director of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning. “The CTA has been a national leader in deploying electric vehicle technology and plans to prioritize efforts in historically disinvested communities support our regional goals. This is a critical undertaking toward a transportation system that serves everyone better.”

"We applaud CTA for being intentional about investing in environmentally beneficial technology that will make Chicago’s air healthier and improve the service experience for its riders," added Joyce Foundation Environment Program Director Ed Miller. “We are proud to have supported this research and planning effort as CTA moves toward electrifying its bus fleet, including putting the agency in a strong position to tap federal infrastructure funds to support the transition.”

The study, “Charging Forward: CTA Bus Electrification Planning Report,” summarizes the findings of key analyses and establishes a practical framework for CTA to advance towards full electrification.

In addition, the study provides strategic recommendations on various facets of the electrification effort including:

• Which technologies to invest in;
• Where to install charging infrastructure;
• How to sequence the electrification of garages and routes;
• How to ensure that the related facility upgrades are coordinated with other modernization needs to maximize cost effectiveness and overall system reliability; and
• Outlining an achievable transition timeline for meeting the agency’s 2040 conversion goal.

With the completion of this study, the CTA is now well-positioned to compete for funding, advocate for policies and drive technology advances that will be essential to implement this plan.

With the introduction of its first two all-electric buses in 2014, CTA says it became one of the first transit agencies in the country to run electric buses in revenue service, year-round and across all four seasons. Today, CTA has 11 electric buses in service, and 14 more that are being outfitted at garages in preparation for entering revenue service later in 2022. To date, CTA has also secured more than $130 million in grant funding to continue expanding its electric bus fleet and expanding its charging infrastructure.

"We are excited to see CTA take a big step today in advancing our shared goal to electrify bus fleets serving city residents," said Angela Tovar, chief sustainability officer for the city of Chicago. “CTA’s contributions toward increasing transit ridership and making equitable investments in green mobility will play a big role in meeting our Climate Action Plan 2030 goals.”

Currently, the e-buses are operating on #66 Chicago, connecting the Austin neighborhood to the near West Side and Navy Pier. CTA aims to prioritize routes serving South and West side neighborhoods historically overburdened by air quality issues for early equitable e-bus deployment and aims to electrify routes serving the 95th Red Line hub in the next few years.

"I applaud the use of equity measures to sequence the implementation. This recognizes the reality of the past two years that essential workers have continued to ride transit," said Jacky Grimshaw, vice president, Government Affairs at the Center for Neighborhood Technology. “Economically disadvantaged areas of Chicago are being prioritized and will be the earliest to benefit from positive air quality impacts. The report clearly identifies the challenges to full fleet electrification, the need for building out charging infrastructure, as well as the need for additional funding.”

CTA says this study was made possible through the generous support of The Joyce Foundation, and in collaboration with Civic Consulting Alliance.

Black Artists Pioneered Electronic Music. This Festival Celebrates Them. - The New York Times

mivo.indah.link

The founder of the Dweller festival, now in its third year in New York, started the event to center Black D.J.s and producers, “and imagine what we want.”

Frankie Decaiza Hutchinson had been awake since 5 a.m.

It was two weeks before the return of Dweller, a festival she founded in 2019 that celebrates Black artists in electronic music, and her anxiety was palpable. Hutchinson was munching on a bowl of fruit-topped oatmeal at a Brooklyn coffee shop. She wiped sleep from her eyes as she recalled her first memories of raving in England during her college years.

“I used to throw these raves at the back of my school, which were just insane,” said Hutchinson, who was dressed in a ripped gray long-sleeve shirt and burgundy leggings. “You’re flung into a rave environment, and you’re like, ‘This is crazy,’” she said with a laugh. “Like, white kids get a little wild to these electronic bleep bleep bleep noises.”

Those kinds of early encounters with nightlife incubated Hutchinson’s love for dance music, but it wasn’t until years later that she became fully aware of the genre’s roots and was inspired to create Dweller, which starts again on Wednesday. Both didactic and celebratory in spirit, the five-day festival disrupts a landscape dominated by white D.J.s and producers by foregrounding Black artists and their critical role in dance music’s genesis. (This year the event features 11 shows and panels across five venues that hold several hundred in Brooklyn and Ridgewood, Queens.) In 2020, Dweller added a blog that publishes interviews with electronic music titans, as well as essays and reflections about the relationship between technology, Blackness and sound. Hutchinson started the blog with her co-editor Ryan Clarke, a graduate student in musicology at Tulane University.

Hutchinson’s own education about the genre’s Black history began in earnest when she moved to New York City in 2009. She met Emma Burgess-Olson, a D.J. and a creative, and in 2014 they teamed with Christine McCharen-Tran to start Discwoman, a collective and talent agency for femme D.J.s and producers. It was Burgess-Olson who gave Hutchinson an introduction to the Black roots of techno, via the work of the renowned producer K-Hand, known for her pioneering influence on Detroit house and techno.

“I was astounded that it had never occurred to me or anyone that I should know this,” Hutchinson said. When she stumbled across Jeff Mills, the Detroit trailblazer whose sparse, industrial techno earned him the sobriquet “The Wizard,” everything changed. “Why didn’t I know that this weirdo from Detroit was someone I could have really identified with as a young Black kid?” Hutchison recalled wondering.

The stories of techno and house echo those of other genres — like rock — born of Black struggle that were later usurped and glossed up, their cultural histories dissipated by a multimillion-dollar industry in which white artists are built into the biggest stars. The result smudges the memory of the music’s political roots.

LSDXOXO, the producer born Raushaan Glasgow, grew up in Philadelphia to African American and Dominican parents, and first cut his teeth playing New York parties centering queer and trans people of color, like GHE20GOTH1K. “A lot of Black youth and POC youth think that dance music is not something that they resonate with because it’s not from their community, but it’s actually the opposite,” he said in a video call from Berlin.

Glasgow said he discovered dance music by surfing peer-to-peer file-sharing software like LimeWire and Kazaa as a child; he now has a deal with the label XL and hosts his own queer club night in Berlin. “One of the most important things that Dweller represents is in terms of shining a light on the fact that the history of dance music is actually Black,” he said. “It’s kind of like a way of reclaiming the genres that we were removed from.”

Hutchinson said the issue is not just effacement — historical neglect has had a material impact on Black artists in the industry. (In 2019, Forbes published a list of the highest-paid D.J.s in electronic music — none were Black.) In several of her professional roles — as a founder of Discwoman, a former booker at the Bushwick techno playground Bossa Nova Civic Club and a curator for many other projects — she has urged festivals and performance spaces to book more Black and women artists, and pay them equitable rates.

“We have to beg for just a slither of the same thing that a white D.J. gets handed,” she said. When it comes to trying to get venues to book Black women, “it’s always like, ‘Well, OK, we’ll have ’em open,’ or ‘Oh, we have this much left,’” she explained. “It’s like the crumbs, and it’s disgusting.”

Though Hutchinson said she understands why appealing to white institutions may be useful or necessary, she made a personal decision to turn her attention in another direction: “Let’s think about what we can create. You know, let’s reframe the question and imagine what we want.”

Dweller demonstrates a curatorial commitment to the broad spectrum of Black aesthetics within electronic music, refusing a singular vision of race, sound or identity. For instance, there is a queer Black rave night scheduled right alongside a performance by the world-building experimentalist Keiyaa. And while the festival does feature educational talks and panels, Hutchinson said that the team, which also includes the blog editor Clarke and the Ghana-based co-curator Enyo Amexo, strives to center celebration.

“That’s kind of an expectation for us, to always be talking through our problems,” she said. “I feel like the focus should be on us having a good time as well.”

This year, the festival’s theme is intergenerational connection. The lineup includes forbears like RP Boo, an originator of Chicago’s footwork movement; Stacey “Hotwaxx” Hale, the godmother of house; and members of Underground Resistance, the formative Detroit techno collective known for its politically conscious politics and D.I.Y. philosophy.

But there is also ample attention paid to young innovators, like the producers LSDXOXO and AceMo, who is based in New York. Hutchinson said the theme was intended to demonstrate “mutual respect,” rather than fall into tropes of intergenerational antagonism. “It’s an invaluable feeling, especially as a Black person walking through this earth,” Hutchinson said, “to know that there are people dialed into the same kind of [expletive] as you before you, like, makes you feel like you belong.”

Hale, who will perform on Sunday as part of Nowadays Nonstop, a 24-hour marathon at the Ridgewood venue, played a vital role in house music’s evolution but has often been overlooked. In the 1980s, she became one of the first women to popularize mixing continuously, a now ubiquitous practice of D.J.ing. She played influential Detroit clubs like Cheeks, defeated 600 other D.J.s and rappers in a citywide competition in 1985 and performed on popular public access TV shows.

“Can you imagine how many people have come up to me in my lifetime and said, ‘You’re a really good D.J. for a girl?’” Hale said in a phone call from Detroit. “The world, especially at that time, was driven by men,” she continued. “I wasn’t on a mission to say women can do it too. I was on a mission to say that I don’t want to be judged because I’m a woman.”

Today, Hale still performs and teaches production and mixing to youth through organizations like Girls Rock Detroit. She hopes to impart the love she carries for this music onto younger generations. “Respect the history, know the history,” she said, considering the global ascent of house and techno. “The music was definitely born here. I was watching it be birthed and I didn’t even know,” she said. “People have already forgotten it had Black roots and it’s up to us Black people to tell the story.”

HHS Raises Awareness of Threats to Electronic Health Record Systems - HIPAA Journal

mivo.indah.link

Posted By HIPAA Journal on Feb 21, 2022

Share this article on:

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center has issued a threat brief warning about the risks associated with electronic health record systems, which are often targeted by cyber threat actors.

Cyberattacks on EHRs can be extremely profitable for cyber threat actors. EHRs usually contain all the information required for multiple types of fraud, including names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, other government and state ID numbers, health data, and health insurance information. No other records provide such a wide range of information. The information contained in the systems has a high value on the black market and can be easily sold to cybercriminals who specialize in identity theft, tax, and insurance fraud. Malware, and especially ransomware, pose a significant threat to EHRs. Ransomware can be used to encrypt EHR data to prevent access, which causes disruption to medical services and creates patient safety issues, which increases the likelihood of the ransom being paid. Phishing attacks to gain access to the credentials required to access EHRs are also common.

A cybersecurity strategy should be developed to protect against malware and ransomware attacks. Malware and ransomware infections often start with phishing emails, so email security solutions should be implemented, and end users should receive training to help them identify phishing emails and other email threats. Regular security awareness training for the workforce can improve resistance to cyberattacks that target employees, who are one of the weak links in the security chain. Attacks on Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) are also common. Consider using a VPN solution to prevent exposing RDP. Threat actors often exploit unpatched vulnerabilities, so it is vital to patch promptly and to prioritize patching to address critical vulnerabilities first, especially vulnerabilities that are known to have been exploited in cyberattacks. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintains a Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog that can guide IT security teams on prioritizing patching efforts.

Many healthcare organizations encrypt EHR data. Encryption protects data while it is transferred between on-site users and external cloud applications, but there could be blind spots in encryption that could be leveraged by threat actors to avoid being detected while they execute their attack. Cloud services are now commonly used by healthcare organizations, including cloud-hosted EHRs. All data sent to cloud services must be properly protected to comply with HIPAA. Cloud access security broker technology can help in this regard.

Steps need to be taken to prevent attacks by external cyber threat actors, but there are also internal threats to EHR data. Healthcare employees are provided with access to EHRs and can easily abuse that access to view or steal patient data. Employees should receive training on internal policies concerning EHR use and data access and how HIPAA prohibits the unauthorized accessing of records. The sanctions policy should be explained as well as the potential for criminal charges for unauthorized medical record access. Administrative policies should be implemented to make it difficult for employees to access records without authorization and policies for EHR need to be enforced.

There should be monitoring of physical and system access, audits should be regularly conducted to identify unauthorized access, and device and media controls should be implemented to prevent the unauthorized copying of EHR data. An endpoint hardening strategy should also be developed that includes multiple layers of defense on all endpoints. The strategy will also ensure that any intrusion is detected and contained before attackers can gain access to EHRs and patient data.

Healthcare organizations should engage in threat hunting to identify threat actors who have bypassed the security perimeter and infiltrated endpoints. Penetration testers should be used for ‘Red Team’ activities involving the tradecraft of hackers to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity professionals should also be engaged for the Blue Team, which is concerned with guiding the IT security team on improvements to prevent sophisticated cyberattacks. “These exercises are imperative to understanding issues with an organization’s network, vulnerabilities, and other possible security gaps,” says the HHS.

There are considerable benefits that come from EHRs, but risks to data must be properly managed. The HHS suggests healthcare leaders change their focus from prevention to the creation of a proactive preparedness plan to understand vulnerabilities in their EHRs and then implement a framework that will be effective at identifying and preventing attacks.
