The recent remarkable development of microsystems dates back to 1983 when
Richard P. Feynman of California University delivered a speech to a large
audience of scientists and engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He presented
the concept of sacrificed etchingto fabricate a silicon micromotor, and
pointed out the need for...
The reader is provided with information on how to choose between the techniques and how to design a system that takes advantage of the best features of each of them. Imminently practical in approach, the book covers sampled data systems, choosing A-to-D and D-to-A converters for DSP applications, fast Fourier transforms, digital filters,...
We as a species are probably a little bit smarter than fish: at least we know
that we spend our lives “swimming” at the bottom of an ocean of air. About
4/5th of that ocean is the relatively harmless gas nitrogen. Around another
1/5 of it is the highly reactive and slightly toxic gas oxygen. The...
The MintDuino is deceiving—this little tin of electronics is capable of providing
the brains for an unlimited number of devices limited only by your imagination…
and, of course, your bank account.
While the MintDuino is certainly capable of being used during a moment of
inspiration,...
Computer and Machine Vision: Theory, Algorithms, Practicalities (previously entitled Machine Vision) clearly and systematically presents the basic methodology of computer and machine vision, covering the essential elements of the theory while emphasizing algorithmic and practical design constraints. This fully revised fourth edition has...
Being secure in an insecure world is a tough nut to crack. There are so
many ways that our personal information can be stolen and duplicated
today it is a very serious situation and should be taken very seriously.
From our surfing the Internet to just the simplicity of speaking on a
cell phone to our friends can...
The Standard Handbook of Electronics Engineering has defined its field for over thirty years. Spun off in the 1960’s from Fink’s Standard Handbook of Electrical Engineering, the Christiansen book has seen its markets grow rapidly, as electronic engineering and microelectronics became the growth engine of digital computing. The EE...
Like its predecessors, the third edition of this book is intended primarily
for non-specialist users and students of electric motors and drives.
My original aim was to bridge the gap between specialist textbooks
(which are pitched at a level too academic for the average user) and
the more prosaic ‘handbooks’, which...
Growing technological requirements and the widespread acceptance of sophisti
cated electronic devices have created an unprecedented demand for large-scale,
complex, integrated circuits. Meeting these demands has required technological
advances in materials and processing equipment, significant increases in the num
ber of...
Generally a laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is defined as “a device which uses a quantum mechanical effect, stimulated emission, to generate a coherent beam of light from a lasing medium of controlled purity, size, and shape”. Laser material processing represents a great number of methods, which are...
With increasingly low-cost and power-efficient RF electronics demanded by today's wireless communication systems, it is essential to keep up to speed with new developments. This book presents key advances in the field that you need to know about and emerging patterns in large-signal measurement techniques, modeling and nonlinear circuit...
Whether you’re designing consumer electronics, medical devices, enterprise Web apps, or new ways to check out at the supermarket, today’s digitally-enabled products and services provide both great opportunities to deliver compelling user experiences and great risks of driving your customers crazy with complicated, confusing...
