than 2000 years ago, the Greeks recognized the attraction between certain mate-
rials when they were rubbed together; indeed, the word electricity comes from
the Greek elektron, which means amber. During the seventeenth ...
Thanks to the advances in micromachining fabrication technologies and significant
cost reduction due to mass production, miniature sensors of angular rate, or
gyroscopes, found their way into the everyday life of every user of modern gadgets,
such as smart phones, tablets or even wristwatches. Often ...
You probably have heard all about what you can do with the Raspberry Pi. This credit-
card sized computer can be plugged into your TV or any HDMI monitor to replace a
typical computer. This little device is used in many computer projects, DIY electronics
projects and even as a learning tool for kids ...
I would like to thank you for purchasing the second edition of “Industrial Network
Security,” especially if you are one of the many supporters of the first edition.
When the second edition was announced, many people asked me, “why a second
edition?” and even more followed that up with, “and why ...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is gaining in popularity, especially
as we find ourselves in this communications age and headed towards a
ubiquitous computing world. Automatic identification systems become
an important aspect not just in today’s technology but also as part of our
daily life. ...
MIT App Inventor is an innovative beginner’s introduction to programming and app
creation that transforms the complex language of text-based coding into visual, drag-and-

This book was written by Michael Margolis with Nick Weldin to help you explore the
amazing things you can do with Arduino.
Arduino is a family of microcontrollers (tiny computers) and a software creation envi-
ronment that makes it easy for you to create programs (called sketches) that can interact
...
Striking developments have taken place since 1980 in feedback control theory. The subject has be-
come both more rigorous and more applicable. The rigor is not for its own sake, but rather that even
in an engineering discipline rigor can lead to clarity and to methodical solutions to problems. The
a ...
This book describes a unifying framework to networked teleoperation systems
cutting across multiple research fields including networked control system for linear
and nonlinear forms, bilateral teleoperation, trilateral teleoperation, multilateral
teleoperation, cooperative teleoperation, and some te ...
I am presenting this novel book on advances and trends in power electronics and motor
drives to the professional community with the expectation that it will be given the same
wide and enthusiastic acceptance by practicing engineers, R&D professionals, univer-
sity professors, and even graduate stude ...
