News Flash! - Last 4th of July (2016) I was lounging on the finger dock next to my boat at Friday Harbor when a fellow boater approached me. He said, "I recognize - Kraken (Kraken's on the back cover)- I bought your book, and use it as one of my resources." We had a long enjoyable talk. He said he drove from Redding Ca. and taking my advice put in at Squalicum Harbor. Meeting a happy camper, made my day. Thanks! John News Flash! - (Dec 2016) We will have a new travel guide to the San Juans out soon. The new guide will be a "Land and Sea" guide and will be for all travelers. The original "San Juan Islands Cruise Guide" is still your detailed boaters bible to the Marine Parks. The new guide is titled "San Juan Islands Travel Guide." It includes shore attractions, e.g. resorts, campgrounds, villages, parks, and lots of local community knowledge to assist your bicycling excursions, kayaking paddles, hiking and overall visit. The new guide is a companion resource to our cruise guide - not a replacement. Boat travelers to the San Juans should own and carry both.

Download or read book Handbook of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor Drives written by Ali Emadi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 909 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially, the only electric loads encountered in an automobile were for lighting and the starter motor. Today, demands on performance, safety, emissions, comfort, convenience, entertainment, and communications have seen the working-in of seemingly innumerable advanced electronic devices. Consequently, vehicle electric systems require larger capacities and more complex configurations to deal with these demands. Covering applications in conventional, hybrid-electric, and electric vehicles, the Handbook of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor Drives provides a comprehensive reference for automotive electrical systems. This authoritative handbook features contributions from an outstanding international panel of experts from industry and academia, highlighting existing and emerging technologies. Divided into five parts, the Handbook of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor Drives offers an overview of automotive power systems, discusses semiconductor devices, sensors, and other components, explains different power electronic converters, examines electric machines and associated drives, and details various advanced electrical loads as well as battery technology for automobile applications. As we seek to answer the call for safer, more efficient, and lower-emission vehicles from regulators and consumer insistence on better performance, comfort, and entertainment, the technologies outlined in this book are vital for engineering advanced vehicles that will satisfy these criteria.
