"Additionally, Dr. Kiyo Tomiyasu will be presented with the Thomas Alva Edison Medal at the IMS 2010 Plenary Session, and he will be inducted into the IEEE Heritage Circle, the IEEE Foundation's donor recognition program. On Wednesday, May 26th, IEEE.tv will cover the Special Session honoring Dr. Tomiyasu as invited speakers recall activities associated with Dr. Tomiyasu, and his tremendous contribution to the MTT-S, Geoscience Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) and the IEEE."
The IEEE.tv IMS 2010 coverage will also include a Special Luncheon set for May 25th to celebrate Chuck Swift's 52 years of service in support of the Los Angeles Chapter of MTT-S. The chapter has sponsored monthly technical meetings since 1952 and periodic national/international 3-5 day meetings since 1970, like the IMS meeting being held in Anaheim. Chuck formed his business, C. W. Swift & Associates, in July 1958, and since then he has supported 450 meetings and 7 IMS Symposia.
IEEE.tv coverage will include footage of the exhibition floor and Vendor Showcases as well as the recording of the Microwave Application Seminars (MicroApps) seminars from leading vendors of solutions, products and services in the microwave industry to assist in learning the latest techniques, skills and methods. Over 50 presentations will be given over three days (May 25 – 27th) in a special theater the Exhibition area. Attendance is open to all conference and exhibit attendees.
