This work presents the highlights of the June 17-21, 1990 Workshop on Geometric Modeling for Product Engineering organized by IFIP Working Group 5.2 and attended by 77 researchers representing 11 countries. The workshop explored state-of-the-art research and development in product modeling and its applications, significant trends, and future directions and research opportunities. Papers contributed to this volume are derived from the 53 conference presentations, as well as from input generated b...

AutoCAD LT 97 is a two-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) package for Windows 95 and Windows NT. The software is fully compatible with AutoCAD Release 14, and provides an upgrade to AutoCAD LT Release 3, with many enhancements bringing it up to date with modern CAD technology. AutoCAD LT 97 includes Internet and intranet facilities which provide links to a user's existing browser, such as Internet Explorer or Navigator. An Introduction to AutoCAD LT 97 is an invaluable 'how to' guide for a...

Written for the piping engineer and designer in the field, this two-part series fills a void in piping literature, since the Rip Weaver books of the '90s were taken out of print at the advent of the Computer Aid Design (CAD) era. Technology may have changed, however the fundamentals of piping rules still apply in the digital representation of process piping systems. The Fundamentals of Piping Design is an introduction to the design of piping systems, various processes and the layout of pipe work...

How can we increase awareness and understanding of other cultures using interactive digital visualizations of past civilizations? In order to answer the above question, this book first examines the needs and requirements of virtual travelers and virtual tourists. Is there a market for virtual travel? Erik Champion examines the overall success of current virtual environments, especially the phenomenon of computer gaming. Why are computer games and simulations so much more successful than other t...

This text seeks to provide students with a clear picture of how real-world systems operate, covering the fundamentals of linear continuous data and digital control systems analysis and design. The sixth edition has been redesigned to enhance student comprehension and expands its coverage of conventional time-domain and frequency-domain analysis and design methods. Kuo offers a new method to the Nyquist stability criterion that requires only one simple plot for a wide class of transfer functions...

Fur die automatische Montage von Schnellbefestigungselementen mit Industrierobotern wird eine systematische Planungsmethode vorgestellt. Die denkbaren Varianten fur eine Montagezelle lassen sich mit Hilfe von Funktionsstrukturen geordnet darstellen und durch eine Nutzwertanalyse auf wenige sinnvolle Losungen reduzieren. Fur die verbleibenden Strukturen werden Konzepte fur die einzelnen Elemente einer Montagezelle am Beispiel von Klipsen erarbeitet. Aus den Kombinationen der Konzepte ergeben sich...

In recent years, both Networks-on-Chip, as an architectural solution for high-speed interconnect, and power consumption, as a key design constraint, have continued to gain interest in the design and research communities. This book offers a single-source reference to some of the most important design techniques proposed in the context of low-power design for networks-on-chip architectures.

This unique reference was written with the intention that users can learn Inventor on their own with little or no outside help. Unlike other books of its kind, it begins at a very basic level and ends at a fairly advanced level. It's perfect for anyone enrolled in Engineering and Technology programs, as well as professionals interested in learning Autodesk Inventor. It applies to Inventor releases 2003-2008.This title provides step-by-step instructions along with numerous illustrations. Commands...

Microcontroller-Based Temperature Monitoring and Control is an essential and practical guide for all engineers involved in the use of microcontrollers in measurement and control systems. The book provides design principles and application case studies backed up with sufficient control theory and electronics to develop your own systems. It will also prove invaluable for students and experimenters seeking real-world project work involving the use of a microcontroller. Techniques for the applicat...

It is widely acknowledged that the cost of validation and testing comprises a s- nificant percentage of the overall development costs for electronic systems today, and is expected to escalate sharply in the future. Many studies have shown that up to 70% of the design development time and resources are spent on functional verification. Functional errors manifest themselves very early in the design flow, and unless they are detected up front, they can result in severe consequence- both financially...
