Co-Design is the set of emerging techniques which allows for the simultaneous design of Hardware and Software. In many cases where the application is very demanding in terms of various performances (time, surface, power consumption), trade-offs between dedicated hardware and dedicated software are becoming increasingly difficult to decide upon in the early stages of a design. Verification techniques - such as simulation or proof techniques - that have proven necessary in the hardware desi...

This reference is designed to help intermediate AutoCAD users who want to master 3D modelling. The book shows how to build on 2D skills to create goemetric models, reinforcing core concepts with practical examples and tutorials. It covers drawing and editing of wireframe and solid 3D objects and shows users how to incorporate ACIS solids technology. In addition, it includes detailed instruction on proper use of meshes in wireframe 3D drawing. The accompanying disk includes reusable wireframe and...

This book addresses microwave chemistry at both the physical and molecular level. Its main goal is to elaborate the highly complex scientific issues involved in the fundamental theory of microwave chemistry, and in industrialized applications in the near future.The book provides detailed insights into the characterization and measurement of dielectric properties under complex conditions, such as chemical reactions, high-temperature environments, etc. Considerable attention is paid to the theory...

Learning AutoCAD has never been easier! The highly innovative, visual format of this new series is like having your own personal AutoCAD expert walk you through the commands and techniques of AutoCAD Release 13. Whether you are beginning with 2D and 3D fundamentals or looking for more specific applications, the "visual approach" will give you the skills and knowledge you need to be successful.

Containing the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computer Aided Optimum Design of Structures, this volume looks at recent advances in structural optimization and demonstrates how optimization can best be applied to engineering practice.

This modern book addresses advances in technology and introduces students to 2- dimensional drawing skills and commands using the current release of AutoCAD. It continuously builds on concepts covered in previous chapters, contains exercises combined with in-text notes, and offers examples that provide the "how and why" of AutoCAD fundamentals. Projects are included at the end of each chapter and provide hands-on experience creating various types of mechanical, architectural, civil and electrica...

Logic Synthesis for Low Power VLSI Designs presents a systematic and comprehensive treatment of power modeling and optimization at the logic level. More precisely, this book provides a detailed presentation of methodologies, algorithms and CAD tools for power modeling, estimation and analysis, synthesis and optimization at the logic level. Logic Synthesis for Low Power VLSI Designs contains detailed descriptions of technology-dependent logic transformations and optimizations, technology d...

Updated to provide complete coverage of the expanded design capabilities of AUTOCAD(R) 2010, this thoroughly revised new edition of a classic AutoCAD(R) reference work offers detailed explanations of customizing techniques for advanced users of the software. In one comprehensive volume, noted AutoCAD(R) expert Sham Tickoo examines all the various levels of customization in AutoCAD(R) -- from the basic topics of creating template drawings and customizing menus to advanced features like modifying...

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) allows the integration of current islands of automation and the exploitation of opportunities offered by the application of information technology. More than 40 key papers have been assembled from the CIM-Europe's seventh annual conference held in May 1991, Turin, Italy. The speakers represent the leading edge research in areas such as concurrent engineering, production planning and control, quality management and e.g. implementation and business experienc...

Like the SolidWorks Bible, but want more on parts? New version provides greater detail than ever SolidWorks fans have long sought more detail and information on SolidWorks topics, and now you have it. We took our popular SolidWorks Bible, divided it into two books (SolidWorks 2011 Parts Bible and SolidWorks 2011 Assemblies Bible) and packed each new book with a host of items from your wish lists, such as more extensive coverage of the basics, additional tutorials, and expanded coverage of topic...

The environmental burden caused by private transportation represents a significant challenge towards sustainability. Electric vehicles are considered a key technology to reduce the environmental impact caused by the mobility sector. However, the global adoption of electromobility implies shift and diversification of the environmental impacts caused by the transportation sector mainly driven by the production of the battery system. Modeling the life cycle environmental impacts of traction batteri...

This monograph proposes quantitative approaches for production planning problems in automated manufacturing. In particular, techniques from operations research/combinatorial optimization provide ways to tackle these problems. Special attention is devoted to the efficient use of tools in production planning for automated manufacturing systems. The book presents models and tests solution strategies for different kinds of production decisions. A case study in the manufacturing of printed circuit bo...
