-----------------------MINUTES ---------------------------
Mike LaBonte conducted the meeting.

Call for opens and IBIS related patent disclosures:

- No one declared a patent.
- Mike: Can't meet Sep 14, next meeting could be Sep 21

AR Review:

- Mike send FSV1D software and URL and test data to Anders, Moshiul, Bob
  - Done

New items:

Mike showed Bruce Archambeault's presentation
- Slide 8:
  - Anders: It is not clear what this dataset is
- Slide 9:
  - Bob: The ADMi graph is zoomed in on "excellent" and "very good"
  - Anders: This just shows the number of points, not an FFT
  - Mike showed the IEEE spec, which says it is an FFT
    - Not sure how they decided the threshold values
    - The numbers are hardcoded in the IEEE spec
  - Anders: The note says it is a probability density function
- Slide 11:
  - Anders: It looks like these are shifted in the X axis
    - There are a number of methods for doing this

We discussed questions to ask Antonio Orlandi regarding FSV1D:
  - Why is the frequency X axis sometimes in points and sometimes has a 0 to 1 range?
  - If the datasets are already a function of frequency does it take the FFT of that?
  - What method is used to align input datasets along the X axis?
  - Why does the software begin by asking "time domain" or "freq domain"?
- It may help to include pictures with the questions
- Bob: These may be mostly questions for Bruce

AR: Mike ask Antonio Orlandi (CC Bruce Archambeault):

Anders: We should discuss what to present at the upcoming summit meetings
- Mike: At previous summits we have given an extended IQ status report
- Bob: FSV would be interesting but we may not be ready to present that

Next meeting will be September 7

Meeting ended at 12:10 PM Eastern Time.
