Signal Processing for Active Control (Signal Processing and Its Applications)
by Stephen Elliott
Signal Processing for Active Control sets out the signal processing and automatic control techniques that are used in the analysis and implementation of active systems for the control of sound and vibration. After reviewing the performance limitations introduced by physical aspects of active control, Stephen Elliott presents the calculation of the optimal performance and the implementation of adaptive real time controllers for a wide variety of active control systems. Active sound and vibratio...
Fuzzy logic has virtually exploded over the landscape of emerging technologies, becoming an integral part of myriad applications and a standard tool for engineers. Until recently, most of the attention and applications have centered on fuzzy systems implemented in software. But these systems are limited. Problems that require real-time operation, low area, or low power consumption demand hardware designed to the fuzzy paradigm - and engineers with the background and skills to design it.Microelec...

Sol-Gel Technology for Thin Films, Fibers, Preforms, Electronics and Specialty Shapes
by Lisa C Klein
Covers principles, developments, and applications of sol-gel technology for thin films, fibers, preforms, electronics, and specialty shapes.
Miniaturization has cost and time-saving advantages for numerous applications in chemistry, pharmacy, medicine and biotechnology. Additionally, microreaction technology offers new solutions for the automobile industry and environmental technology, e.g. fuel cells, or mobile sensor systems for on-the-spot analysis. Therefore, the 3rd International Conference on Microreaction Technology - IMRET 3 is an important forum for creating awareness of the wide variety of the new trends in this up-and-comi...
Einf]hrung in Die Halbleiter-Schaltungstechnik (Springer-Lehrbuch)
by Holger Gvbel and Holger Gc6bel
Wenige entwickeln, wie ein Architekt baut, der zuvor seinen Plan entworfen und bis ins einzelne durchdacht hat; vielmehr die meisten nur so, wie man Domino spielt. Kaum dass sie ungefahr wissen, welche Gestalt im ganzen herauskommen wird, und wo das alles hinaus soll. Viele wissen selbst dies nicht, sondern entwickeln, wie die Korallenpolypen bauen. Periode fugt sich an Periode, und es geht, wohin Gott will. Frei nach Schopenhauer Die Mikroelektronik ist zweifellos eine der herausragenden Schlus...
Systems of Commercial Turbofan Engines: An Introduction to Systems Functions
by Andreas Linke-Diesinger
Nanolithography and Implications on Circuit Design
This book provides a comprehensive and updated 'state-of-the-art' compilation on nanolithography and implications on future nanometer IC designs. Its scope in a bottom-up manner, includes the underlying equipment and process issues for nanolithography, the computational lithography aspects, and the key design and CAD issues and possible solutions. The subjects covered include: introduction of nanolithography process and trends; computational lithography (including lithography simulations, OPC, i...
The general trend towards miniaturisation and parallelism in optics and electro-optics has led to a requirement for arrays of sub-millimetre sized lenses. Thus, the demand for these microlens arrays has increased dramatically over recent years. Dan Daly's book describes the technology of microlens arrays and provides a recipe for producing them. It surveys the many fabrication techniques and discusses the numerous applications which either require or enhanced by the use of microlens arrays.This...
Semiconducting Chalcogenide Glass II: Properties of Chalcogenide Glasses
The semiconductor industry is a fundamental building block of the new economy, there is no area of modern life untouched by the progress of nanoelectronics. The electronic chip is becoming an ever-increasing portion of system solutions, starting initially from less than 5% in the 1970 microcomputer era, to more than 60% of the final cost of a mobile telephone, 50% of the price of a personal computer (representing nearly 100% of the functionalities) and 30% of the price of a monitor in the early...
This volume contains the proceedings of the International Winter School on Electronic Properties of High Temperature Superconductors, which was held March 3-10, 1990, in Kirchberg (Tyrol), Austria. This course was a sequel to three meetings on the subject of conducting polymers held there one, three and five years previously. The new topic was taken up since many of the scientists working on conducting polymers are now also actively interested in high-Tc superconductors, a research area that con...
Digital Synthesizers and Transmitters for Software Radio
