Download or read book Flat Panel Displays and CRTs written by Lawrence E. Tannas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flat-Panel Displays and CRTs, a review of electronic information display devices, is the first sys tematic and comprehensive coverage of the subject. It is intended to distill our wealth of knowledge of flat-panel displays and CRTs from their beginnings to the present state of the art. Historical perspective, theory of operation, and specific applications are all thoroughly covered. The field of display engineering is a multidisciplined technical pursuit with the result that its individual disciplines suffer from a lack of communications and limited perspective. Many previ ously developed standards for, and general understanding of, one technology are often inappro priate for another. Care has been taken here to document the old, incorporate the new, and emphasize commonalities. Criteria for performance have been standardized to enable an expert in one display technology, such as liquid crystals, to compare his device performance with that offered by another technology, such as electroluminescence. This book has been written with a second purpose in mind, to wit, to be the vehicle by means of which a new scientist or engineer can be introduced into the display society. It is organized to be tutorial for use in instructional situations. The first chapters begin with first principles and defini tions; the middle chapters set out requirements and criteria; and the last chapters give a complete description of each major technology.

Download or read book Modern DC to DC Switchmode Power Converter Circuits written by R. Severns and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As each area of technology with a potential for significantly impacting any major segment of the electronics industry evolves, it often is accompanied by the development of a succession of new circuits. Each new circuit indeed appears different, employing different components in differing configurations, and claims an assortment of distinct features of "improved performance. " Without a considerable investment of laboratory time to construct, evaluate, and compare each candidate circuit, it usually is difficult to realistically appraise the relative merits of one approach over another. It often is even more difficult to identify the underlying principles which point up basic similarities and differences. Such is the situation in the new and rapidly expanding area known as electronic power processing or switching mode power supplies. The area of switching power supplies has been spurred by the need for power sources of higher performance, smaller volume, and lighter weight in order to achieve compatibility with the shrinking size of all forms of communication and data handling systems, and particularly with the portable battery-operated equipment in everything from horne appliances and handtools to mobile com munication equipment. Static dc-to-dc converters and dc-to-ac inverters provide a natural interface with the new direct energy sources such as solar cells, fuel cells, thermoelectric generators, and the like, and form the central ingredient in most uninterruptable power sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From areport by a Lieutenant Colonel W.A. Ross (Chern. News, Nov.15, 1878, p. 236). Progress did not accelerate during the next 50 years. McBain, in his clas sic 1932 book, The Sorption oi Gases by So lids, devoted a chapter to sorp tion by chabasite, other zeolites, and permeable crystals. McBain remarked that "great interest attaches to the finding of Weigel and Steinhoff [0. Weigel and E. Steinhoff, Z. Kris!., 61, 125 (1925{raquo}) that chabasite rapidly sorbs the vapors of water, methyl and ethyl alcohol and formie acid, whereas acetone, ether and benzene are largely excluded. The significance of their results was pointed out by McBain [J.W. McBain, Colloid. Syrnp. Mon., 20, 1 (1926{raquo}) and recognized by alliater writers. It is evident that the partially dehydrated chabasite forms a nearly perfect molecular sieve or a semipermeable membrane of extremely regular structure ... ". While the significance of the above observation may have been recog nized, it had little impact. Thus, an eminent pioneer in the synthesis and characterization af zeolites, Professor R.M. Barrer, spent nearly two dec ades (following his Ph. D. studies in the 1930s) developing a firm foundation for the rapid growth in scientific understanding and industrial applications of zeolites which has taken place during the last 30 years.

Download or read book Switched Capacitor Circuits written by Phillip E. Allen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the book is to provide sufficient background and understand ing to enable its readers to design and apply switched capacitor circuits whether these are to be implemented as discrete circuits or by MOS technol ogy. Since this is the first book devoted entirely to the subject of switched capacitor circuits, it has no pattern to follow. Fortunately, it was developed in an environment where many of the circuits and concepts it discusses could actually be integrated as MOS integrated circuits. It is hoped that this environ ment has created a selection process that has enhanced the contents. Switched capacitor circuits provide an example of the influence that technol ogy can have on the field of electrical engineering. Only seven years ago, the problem of building analog circuits and systems using standard MOS technology was still unsolved. Although analog circuits and systems were implemented by means of integrated circuit technology, they were neither economical nor competitive. The act of combining analog sampled data tech niques with MOS technology has solved this difficulty. As a result, the field of switched capacitor circuits has developed into maturity in a relatively short period of time.

Download or read book Digital Communications written by I. Korn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-11-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains material that should interest students of electrical engineering and computer science specializing in digital communications and also practicing electrical engineers who apply digital communications techni ques to telecommunication systems, digital radio, digital satellites, fiber optics, and the physical layer of computer networks. This book is an outgrowth of lecture notes prepared over a number of years at various universities. In the earlier years I benefited immensely from t 5 the excellent textbooks and monographs in preparing my notes. - With passing time I had to rely more and more on the current periodical literature, mainly the IEEE Transactions and the Bell System Technical Journal. Although the book is intended mainly for those who have already had an introduction to communications, as usually taught in an undergraduate course, it can also be used without this background. For that purpose I concentrated most of the necessary mathematics in Chapter I. If the mathematics is not an obstacle, the reader can start with Chapter 2. I tried, as far as possible, to make each chapter independent of the other chapters, and for that reason many concepts and notations have been defined several times. To keep the book at a reasonable length, however, it was impossible, in most cases, not to rely on derivations and results of previous chapters.

Download or read book A Philosopher Looks at Science written by Nancy Cartwright and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is science and what can it do? Nancy Cartwright here takes issue with three common images of science: that it amounts to the combination of theory and experiment; that all science is basically reducible to physics; and that science and the natural world which it pictures are deterministic. The author's innovative and thoughtful book draws on examples from the physical, life, and social sciences alike, and focuses on all the products of science – not just experiments or theories – and how they work together. She reveals just what it is that makes science ultimately reliable, and how this reliability is nevertheless still compatible with a view of nature as more responsive to human change than we might think. Her book is a call for greater intellectual humility by and within scientific institutions. It will have strong appeal to anyone who thinks about science and how it is practised in society.

Download or read book Digital Transmission Systems written by David R. Smith and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the development of telecommunication networks throughout the world, digital transmission has now replaced analog transmission as the predominant choice for new transmission facilities. This trend began in the early 1960s when the American Telephone and Telegraph Company first introduced pulse code modulation as a means of increasing capacity in their cable plant. Since that time, digital transmission applications have grown dramatically, notably in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Western Europe. With the rapidity of digital transmission developments and imple mentation, however, there has been a surprising lack of textbooks written on the subject. This book grew out of my work, research, and teaching in digital transmission systems. My objective is to provide an overview of the subject. To accomplish this end, theory has been blended with practice in order to illustrate how one applies theoretical principles to actual design and imple mentation. The book has abundant design examples and references to actual systems. These examples have been drawn from common carriers, manufac turers, and my own experience. Considerable effort has been made to include up-to-date standards, such as those published by the CCITT and CCIR, and to interpret their recommendations in the context of present-day digital transmission systems.

This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 3529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancements in science and engineering have occurred at a surprisingly rapid pace since the release of the seventh edition of this encyclopedia. Large portions of the reference have required comprehensive rewriting and new illustrations. Scores of new topics have been included to create this thoroughly updated eighth edition. The appearance of this new edition in 1994 marks the continuation of a tradition commenced well over a half-century ago in 1938 Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia, First Edition, was published and welcomed by educators worldwide at a time when what we know today as modern science was just getting underway. The early encyclopedia was well received by students and educators alike during a critical time span when science became established as a major factor in shaping the progress and economy of individual nations and at the global level. A vital need existed for a permanent science reference that could be updated periodically and made conveniently available to audiences that numbered in the millions. The pioneering VNSE met these criteria and continues today as a reliable technical information source for making private and public decisions that present a backdrop of technical alternatives.
