A career is often a choice between one major and another, and then between one job and another. But if you look at it from a broad perspective, it can look like a network of near infinite choices filled with opportunities and pitfalls. If one is to have a successful career, we should look for guides that can help us along the way. What if these guides are not mentors or coaches, but ways of thinking? What if your own paradigms can be leveraged to create a rewarding career off the curve, not on it? By looking at your career as a business enterprise, we can then address the various opportunities and threats in the way a business works to thrive, not survive. This presentation touches upon the connection of a successful businesss and a successful career, and how to utilize those time tested principals to reorganize a career into a business enterprise.

MICROCHIP SEMINAR: NEXT GENERATION UI/UX HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE TECHNOLOGIES
Microchip Seminar: Capacitive touchscreens surround us. We interact with them daily on our phones, tablets, laptops, smart home thermostats and appliances, and modern cars. It’s easy to take this functionality for granted and set relatively low expectations for touchscreen operation in harsh environments. Microchip is leveraging patented technology to raise the bar and bring touchscreens to much more challenging environments under its maXTouchTM brand.
In this talk we will explore how touchscreens can function reliably in electrically noisy environments, with thick multi-finger gloves, in the rain and with highly conductive cleaning fluids like ammonia and bleach. We’ll explore functional safety and explain how systems can automatically shut down in a safe manner when touch system faults are detected. We’ll talk about security and using up to 10mm thick cover glass to protect systems from intrusion combined with encryption. We’ll also talk about innovative new human machine interface capabilities such as touchless gesturing as well as adding mechanical capacitive knobs and buttons to touchscreens without any special touch sensor patterning. Finally, we’ll explain how you can engage with us and incorporate this leading-edge technology into your next touchscreen designs. Distributed in San Diego by Arrow Electronics
