English
Music Projects contains a collection of projects based on music applications. Components are widely available and the circuits form the basis for further experiments. Circuit diagrams are provided, as are photographs of the main circuits. Parts lists are also given.Robert Penfold's reputation for innovative circuit designs and well-thought out projects is firmly established. His work has been featured regularly in the popular 'Bob's Mini Circuits' section of Electronics, the Maplin magazine. This is a collection of his best ideas from the magazine. Projects include an accented metronome, a tremolo unit, a guitar compressor, a bass fuzz, and a chorus unit.
Understanding and Servicing CD Players
1st Edition
August 24, 1994
KEN CLEMENTS
English
Written specifically with service technicians and engineers in mind, this book is designed as a bench-side companion and guide to the principles involved in repairing and adjusting CD players. Engineers will find this a helpful companion to the various service manuals. The text takes a problem solving approach with numerous examples, circuit diagrams and line drawings.Engineers who need to achieve a better understanding of CD technology will find this book an essential tool for fault diagnosis, adjustment and repair. This book not only covers the mechanical design but also the integrated circuits within a CD player. It is written for immediate application and is well illustrated, so it should become a welcome addition to the rack of tools available to the service engineer. Ken Clements has extensive experience of the service industry both as a service manager and later in technical training with Sony and Pioneer. It is his hands-on knowledge that makes the book so valuable, not only as a wide-ranging reference but also as a benchtop manual to be kept within reach at all times when working with CD players.

'You will most certainly find answers to some of your toughest design problems between the covers of this volume' Steven H Leibson, Editor in Chief, EDN Magazine. Since its first appearance in 1956, EDN has established itself as the clear leader in the provision of electronics information, with a combined circulation in the USA, Europe and Asia of over 150,000 copies every fortnight. This is an annotated, indexed and cross referenced collection of work from the magazine for electronic designers.A collected volume of the best articles from the extensive files of Ian Hickman was published in 1991. The articles provide a wealth of information on components, equipment, circuits, systems and standards that prove to be extremely popular and useful for practising electronics engineers. This second volume of collected articles includes subjects not covered in the first, and more recent items, to provide a completely up-to-date compilation, covering subjects including analog and digital circuits, test and measurement, software and algorithms. The articles are cross-referenced and indexed for ease of use. Many of the circuits are from the popular 'design ideas' section where readers submit their own designs. Longer review articles written by the magazine staff are also included.

Fumiko Ikawa-Smith
English
International Progress in Precision Engineering documents the proceedings of the 7th International Precision Engineering Seminar held in Kobe, Japan, May 1993. The seminar brought together the world's leading precision engineering practitioners from areas of application as diverse as sensors, actuators, scanning tip microscopy, micro and nano machining (including bio-machining), ultra precision measuring machines, machine tools, and large optics for space technology. The seminar included 10 oral sessions that dealt with the following topics: (I) Metrology - The Science Base For Precision Engineering; (II) Sensors and Actuators in Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology; (III) New Materials - Applications and Ultra-Precision Energy Beam Processing; (IV) Nanotechnology Machining Processes; (V) New Developments In Ultra-Precision Machines; (VI) Ultra-Precision, Servo, and Control Technology; (VII) Precision Engineering in Space Technology; (VIII) X-Ray Technologies and Their Applications; (IX) Micromechanics and Micrometrology; and (X) New Developments n Precision Engineering. There were also poster sessions and an introductory keynote speech by Dr. H. Mizuno, Executive Vice-President of Matsushita/Panasonic... who talks on the symbiotic relationship between electronics and precision engineering.
Diesel Generator Handbook
1st Edition
September 1, 1992
L. L. J. Mahon
English
Diesel Generator Handbook meets the need for an authoritative reference work covering the range of mechanical and electrical topics embodied in the practical design and application of diesel generating plant. It will be particularly welcomed in many parts of the developing world where the diesel generator is basic to the electricity supply system. The discussion covers, in fifteen chapters, the prime mover, power ratings, synchronous generators, load assessment, control principles and systems, switchgear and controlgear, standby power, fuels and lubricating oilss, installation and commissioning, noise reduction, and plant operation and maintenance. The book thus caters for all who are concerned with the selection, specification, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of diesel-based generator systems: not only the practising plant or services engineers, but also non-specialist engineers and users. The young technician or trainee engineer who is embarking on a career in the supply industry will find this handbook an invaluable investment. L L J Mahon, FIEE, FBIM, after an engineering apprenticeship with BTH in Rugby, gained over 30 years' experience in the design, development, manufacture, installation and commissioning of both stationary and highly specialised mobile diesel generator plant for a range of applications.
