Nowadays sensors are part of everyday life in a wide variety of fields: scientific
applications, medical instrumentation, industrial field, ...and, last but not least,
popular mass production and low-cost goods, like smartphones and other mobile
devices. Markets and business behind the field of sens ...
It has been said that the move from narrowband to broadband access is the second
revolution for the Internet — ‘broadband is more bandwidth than you can use’.
Once users have experienced broadband access there is no turning back. A whole
new world of applications and services becomes possible. No ...
This book is focused on designing and developing Representational State Transfer (REST)
platforms in Rails. REST is the architectural style of the Web, consisting of a set of
constraints that, applied to components, connectors, and data elements, constitute the
wider distributed hypermedia system th ...
The first edition as well as its forerunner of Kuffel and Abdullah published in
1970 and their translations into Japanese and Chinese languages have enjoyed
wide international acceptance as basic textbooks in teaching senior under-
graduate and postgraduate courses in High-Voltage Engineering. Both ...
Power Electronics is one of modern and key technologies in Electrical and
Electronics Engineering for green power, sustainable energy systems, and smart
grids. Especially, the transformation of existing electric power systems into smart
grids is currently a global trend. The gradual increase of dist ...
A power semiconductor module is basically a power circuit of different
materials assembled together using hybrid technology, such as semiconduc-
tor chip attachment, wire bonding, encapsulation, etc. The materials
involved cover a wide range from insulators, conductors, and semiconduc-
tors to organ ...

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 ...
Today, electric power transmission systems should face many demanding chal-
lenges, which include balancing between reliability, economics, environmental,
and other social objectives to optimize the grid assets and satisfy the growing
electrical demand.
Moreover, the operational environment of trans ...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a type of automatic identification systems
which has gained popularity in recent years for being fast and reliable in keeping
track of the individual objects. In RFID systems, contactless object identification
is achieved using radio signals without the need ...
With more than two billion terminals in commercial operation world-wide, wire-
less and mobile technologies have enabled a first wave of pervasive communication
systems and applications. Still, this is only the beginning as wireless technologies
such as RFID are currently contemplated with a deploym ...
