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 ...
Over many years, RF-MEMS have been a hot topic in research at the technology
and device level. In particular, various kinds of mechanical Si-MEMS resonators
and piezoelectric BAW (bulk acoustic wave) resonators have been developed. The
BAW technology has made its way to commercial products for passi ...
With the proliferation of cloud computing and Internet online services, more and
more data and computation are migrated to geographical distributed Internet data
centers (IDCs), which can provide reliability, management, and cost benefits.
However, IDC operators encounter several major problems in I ...
With the continued growth in the world's population, there is a need to ensure availability of
enough food to feed everyone. Advances in science and technology have helped not only to
increase food production, but also to reduce food wastage. However, the latter has the
potential to be improved to a ...

Building a robot and enabling it to sense its environment is a wonderful way to
take your Arduino knowledge to the next level. In writing this book, I have brought
together my love for invention and my experience with electronics, robotics and
microcontrollers. I hope you have as much pleasure build ...
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 ...
There exist two essentially different approaches to the study of dynamical systems, based on
the following distinction:
time-continuous nonlinear differential equations ⇋ time-discrete maps
One approach starts from time-continuous differential equations and leads to time-discrete
maps, which are ob ...
If you are acquainted with neural networks, automatic control problems
are good industrial applications and have a dynamic or evolutionary nature
lacking in static pattern-recognition; control ideas are also prevalent in the
study of the natural neural networks found in animals and human beings.
