Packed with hundreds of detailed illustrations! THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO CAM TECHNOLOGY!
The transformation of a simple motion, such as rotation, into linear or other motion is accomplished by means of a cam -- two moving elements mounted on a fixed frame. Cam devices are versatile -- almost any specified motion can be...
In just 24 lessons of one hour or less, you will be able to build full-featured production websites using Django, the powerful web development framework based on Python.
Designed for experienced website developers who have at least some familiarity with the Python programming language,...
Since the 1970's, there has been a great deal of research effort spent on studying chaotic systems and the properties of the chaotic signals generated. Characterized by their wideband, impulse-like autocorrelation and low cross-correlation properties, chaotic signals are useful spread-spectrum signals for carrying digital information. Spectrum...
Proof technology will become an established field in software engineering. It generally aims at integrating proof processing into industrial design and verifications tools. The origins of this technology lie in the systematic understanding of a fully-fledged, precise notion of proof by mathematics and logics. Using this profound understanding,...
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, systems of communication are undergoing profound change. Some analysts see this change as revolutionary, comparable with the invention of printing in the west in the fifteenth century, or even of written language itself in the ancient world. Others see it as merely evolutionary, a further application of...
You’ve got a Mac. You’ve got Leopard. And you’ve got iLife, Safari, Mail, iChat…and all the rest.
Now all you need to do is figure out how to get them to work together--so that you can stop thinking about your computer and start thinking about getting things done,...
This IBM Redbook discusses various options for scaling applications based on IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V5.0. It explores how a basic WebSphere configuration can be extended to provide more computing power by better exploiting the power of each machine and by using multiple machines. It examines a number of...
Design and deploy Cisco WAN optimization and application acceleration solutions for the enterprise WAN
Today, IT organizations are increasingly squeezed by competing demands. They must support more distributed users who demand greater availability and performance. They must protect their digital assets...
Objects in three dimensions, and their two-dimensional images, are approximated digitally by sets of voxels ("volume elements") or pixels ("picture elements"), respectively. Digital geometry is the study of geometric properties of digitized objects (or digitized images of objects); it deals both with the definitions of such...
One of the great protocols that has been inherited from the Internet is TCP/IP and this is being used as the open standard today for all network and communications systems. The reasons for this popularity are not hard to find. TCP/IP and Ethernet are truly open standards available to competing manufacturers and providing the user with a common...
This book draws together papers presented at the IFIP/IEEE Sixth Conference on Mobile and Wireless Communications. It focuses on the convergence of mobile wireless networks and the Internet, in particular, integrating stand-alone mobile networks with infrastructure wireless networks to create more robust and accommodating wireless networks....
When I wrote the first edition of this book, the RS-232 serial port was the workhorse of PC interfaces. Modems and scores of other peripherals connected to PCs via the serial ports that were present on every machine.
When the Universal Serial Bus (USB) took hold in the late 1990s, many predicted that serial ports would soon be obsolete....
