This book introduces differential geometry and cutting-edge findings from the discipline by incorporating both classical approaches and modern discrete differential geometry across all facets and applications, including graphics and imaging, physics and networks. With curvature as the centerpiece, the authors present the development of differential geometry, from curves to surfaces, thence to higher dimensional manifolds; and from smooth structures to metric spaces, weighted manifolds and compl...

Provides a balance of traditional analog communications (amplitude and frequency modulation and their variations) and modern developments in data communications (networks, fiber optics, and personal communications systems). Material on antennas, transmission lines, and propagation is also included. Flexible format allows instructors to choose sequence of topics. Examples use actual equipment, complete with photographs and manufacturers' specifications wherever possible. Sections on test equipmen...

Designing with microprocessors or "mechatronics" (the integration of mechanical and electronic components) is an emerging field within mechanical engineering. This text covers microprocessor-based design specifically for mechanical engineers; it is suitable for upper level courses in "Design with Microprocessors" offered in Mechanical Engineering departments. The emphasis is on microprocessor-based design in consumer products rather than in computers. The book is intended to help the mechanical...

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to embedded systems for smart appliances and energy management, bringing together for the first time a multidisciplinary blend of topics from embedded systems, information technology and power engineering. Coverage includes challenges for future resource distribution grids, energy management in smart appliances, micro energy generation, demand response management, ultra-low power stand by, smart standby and communication networks in home and build...

This very up-to-date and practical book, written by engineers working closely in 3GPP, gives insight into the newest technologies and standards adopted by 3GPP, with detailed explanations of the specific solutions chosen and their implementation in HSPA and LTE. The key technologies presented include multi-carrier transmission, advanced single-carrier transmission, advanced receivers, OFDM, MIMO and adaptive antenna solutions, advanced radio resource management and protocols, and different radio...

If you are or are planning to become a professional computer technician, chances are you will be required to pass the A+ Certification Exam developed by CompTia. Most major computer manufactures and resellers including CompUSA, Packard Bell, Intel, Hewlett Packard, Apple, Compaq, and Microsoft now require all of their service employees to be A+ certified. As a result, the number of applicants taking the exam has grown from 2,000 in the last half of 1993 when the test was first offered to more th...
