The mature CMOS fabrication processes are available
in many IC foundries. It is cost-effective to leverage the
existing CMOS fabrication technologies to implement
MEMS devices. On the other hand, the MEMS devices
could also add values to the IC industry as the Moore’s law
reaching its limit. The CM ...
Microengineering and Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have very few
watertight definitions regarding their subjects and technologies. Microengineering
can be described as the techniques, technologies, and practices involved in the
realization of structures and devices with dimensions on the ord ...
GaN is an already well implanted semiconductor
technology, widely diffused in the LED optoelectronics
industry. For about 10 years, GaN devices have also been
developed for RF wireless applications where they can
replace Silicon transistors in some selected systems. That
incursion in the RF field ha ...
Since the original publication of Manual 74 in 1991, and the preceding
“Guidelines for Transmission Line Structural Loading” in 1984, the
understanding of structural loadings on transmission line structures has
broadened signifi cantly. However, improvements in computational capa-
bility have enab ...
Under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) was assigned “primary responsibility to coordinate
development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information
management to achieve interoperability o ...
This book is based on a Ph.D. research that has been conducted at the Delft
University of Technology in the Netherlands in collaboration with Dutch Electricity
& Gas Distribution Network Operator, Stedin. This book was written as a result of
wider interest that was shown by different industry groups ...
We are very pleased to introduce the proceedings of the First EAI International
Conference on Smart Grid Inspired Future Technologies (SmartGIFT 2016). This was
the first SmartGIFT conference, aiming to create a forum for researches, developers,
and practitioners from both academia and industry to p ...

With global drivers such as better energy
consumption, energy efficiency and reduction of
greenhouse gases, CO 2 emission reduction has become
key in every layer of the value chain. Power Electronics
has definitely a role to play in these thrilling challeng ...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is witnessing a recent explosion of
development in both industry and academia. A number of applications include supply
chain management, electronic payments, RFID passports, environmental monitoring
and control, office access control, intelligent labe ...
RFID (radio-frequency identification) is the use of a wireless non-contact system
that uses radio-frequencyelectromagnetic fields to transfer datafrom a tag attached
to an object, for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking [38]. The
basic technologies for RFID have been around for a l ...
