Sensors are the front end devices for information acquisition from the natural and/or artificial world. Higher performance of advanced sensing systems is achieved by using various types of machine intelligence. Intelligent sensors are smart devices with signal processing functions shared by distributed machine intelligence.Typical examples of intelligent sensors are the receptors and dedicated signal processing systems of the human sensory systems. The most important job of information processin...

1999 International Conference on Microelectronics Systems Education (Mse '99)
by IEEE
Aimed at researchers, professors, practioners, students and other computing professionals, this work looks at: advanced low-cost manufacturing from CMP service; training IP creators and integrators; and VLSI design and test sequence in an academic environment.
In the face of today's environmental and economic challenges, doomsayers preach that the only way to stave off disaster is for humans to reverse course: to de-industrialize, re-localize, ban the use of modern energy sources, and forswear prosperity. But in this provocative and optimistic rebuke to the catastrophists, Robert Bryce argues that innovation and the inexorable human desire to make things Smaller Faster Lighter Denser Cheaper are the real keys to a greener, richer planet. Bryce examine...
Following the second year syllabus of the CGLI 236 course and relevant to many other electricians' courses, this covers aspects from power distribution to industrial applications and presents the necessary maths and physics in an accessible form. It complies with IEEE regulations, and trained electricians may find it a useful reference source. There are many worked examples and exercises with solutions complete each chapter.

Advances in Research and Development (Thin Films)
by Maurice Francombe
Physics of Thin Films is one of the longest running continuing series in thin film science, consisting of twenty volumes since 1963. The series contains quality studies of the properties of various thinfilms materials and systems. In order to be able to reflect the development of today's science and to cover all modern aspects of thin films, the series, starting with Volume 20, has moved beyond the basic physics of thin films. It now addresses the most important aspects of both inorganic and o...

The Mutual-Aid Approach to Working with Groups
by Dominique Moyse Steinberg
Discover a unique resource on the "what," "why," and "how" of mutual aid in group settings! While an impressive body of professional literature attests to the central role of mutual aid in social work practice with groups, what has been lacking is a single source that links the description of mutual aid (what it is, exactly) with practice prescriptions (how to help it come about and flourish in various settings). This book does just that. This updated edition of the pathbreaking original c...
