This book was born from the perception that there is much more to spectrum use
and sharing than one sees reflected in publications, whether academic, commercial
or political. the former – in good research style – tend towards reductionism and
concentrate on specific, detailed aspects. commercial p ...
This text, ESD Basics: From Semiconductor Manufacturing to Product Use was initiated on
the need to produce a text that addresses fundamentals of electrostatic discharge from the
manufacturing environment to today’s products. As the manufacturing world evolves, semi-
conductor networks scale, and s ...
As we enter the next millennium, there are clear technological patterns. First, the
electronic industry continues to scale microelectronic structures to achieve faster
devices, new devices, or more per unit area. Secondly, electrostatic charge, electrostatic
discharge (ESD), electrical overstress (E ...
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are miniature systems composed

The concept of MEMS is attributed to Richard Feynman’s famous talk on December
29th, 1959 [2,3]. Dr. Feynman foresaw many aspects of future MEMS deve ...
The large-scale deployment of the smart grid (SG) paradigm could play a strategic role in
supporting the evolution of conventional electrical grids toward active, flexible and self-
healing web energy networks composed of distributed and cooperative energy resources.
From a conceptual point of view, ...
This book is written for engineers involved in the operation, control, and
planning of electric power systems. In addition, the book provides information and
tools for researchers working in the fields of power system security and stability. The
book consists of two volumes. The first volume provide ...
Battery systems for energy storage are among the most relevant technologies of the
21 st century. They – in particular modern lithium-ion batteries (LIB) – are enablers
for the market success of electric vehicles (EV) as well as for stationary energy
storage solutions for balancing fluctuations in ...
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the technology behind the pico-solar revolution
and offers guidance on how to test and choose quality products. The book also discusses how
pioneering companies and initiatives are overcoming challenges to reach scale in the market-
place, from innovati ...
RFID is at a critical price point that could enable its large-scale adoption.
What strengths are pushing it forward? What technical challenges and
privacy concerns must we still address?
The purpose of this book is to help anyone involved in small-scale geophys-
ical surveys. It is not a textbook in the traditional sense, in that it is designed
for use in the field and concerns itself with practical matters – with the-
ory taking second place. Where theory determines field practice ...
