  • Electrotechnology

    Industrial and Environmental Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • December 31, 1996
    • Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff
    • English
    A survey of electrotechnologies and their status is presented here. Principles of operation and significant applications, both current and potential are outlined, and an assessment is made wherever possible of the selected topics. Many of the technologies and processes discussed are in their infancy and development stages. Some have developed and are developing rapidly, while all show great future promise. Rapid progress is being made in numerous industrial and environmental applications. The electrotechnologies identified in the volume have been selected for evaluation based on their potential impact in key industrial sectors and implications for industrial energy patterns.The objectives of this book are twofold:To identify and describe the range of industrial and environmental applications of electrotechnologies.... identify those applications that have potential for commercialization and that are likely to affect energy consumption patterns.

  • Introduction to Analogue Electronics

    • 1st Edition
    • December 24, 1996
    • B. Hart
    • English
    This new text takes the reader from the very basics of analogue electronics to an introduction of state-of-the-art techniques used in the field. It is aimed at all engineering or science students who wish to study the subject from its first principles, as well as serving as a guide to more advanced topics for readers already familiar with the subject.Attention throughout is focused on measurable terminal characteristics of devices, the way in which these give rise to equivalent circuits and methods of extracting parameter values for them from manufacturers data sheet specifications. In the practical application of these equivalent circuits, step-by-step analysis and design procedures are given where appropriate. Throughout the book, emphasis is given to the pictorial representation of information, and extensive use is made of mechanical analogues. This, combined with the self-assessment questions, copious exercises and worked examples result in an accessible introduction to a key area of electronics that even those with the most limited prior experience will find invaluable in their studies.

  • Sewers: Repair and Renovation

    • 1st Edition
    • December 24, 1996
    • Geoffrey F Read + 1 more
    • English
    This, the first of two volumes, gives a comprehensive treatment of the civil engineering work relating to sewers and emphasises the practical aspects of repair and renovation. A considerable amount of theoretical work already exists on this subject. However this book is unique in meeting the engineer's need for up-to-date information on the application of theory and incorporates some important recent developments in the field.The technical aspects of survey and access are dealt with in some detail and the book also provides fundamental data on hydraulics, structural assessment and the use of the Wallingford Storm Sewer Package.

  • Microwave and Wireless Communications Technology

    • 1st Edition
    • December 19, 1996
    • Joseph Carr
    • English
    The fundamentals of microwave and wireless communications technology are critical to the telecommunications and data acquisitions fields. Because many of the new developments involve commonly available equipment such as cellular telephones and satellite dishes, technicians as well as engineers must learn the basics of the technology. Microwave and Wireless Communications Technology offers a practical, device-based approach to the study of microwave and wireless communications. Student objectives, numerous questions and problems, and end-of-chapter summaries reinforce the theory in each chapter. Answers to odd-numbered questions are provided in the back of the book. Math is kept to the lowest practical level, and the last section of each chapter is a collection of the key equations laid out for the student. A Windows diskette with supplementary instructor material is available on request with adoption.

  • Automated Systems Based on Human Skill (Joint Design of Technology and Organisation)

    • 1st Edition
    • December 16, 1996
    • Terence Martin + 1 more
    • English
    These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 5th IFAC Symposium on Automated Systems Based on Human Skill, held in Berlin, Germany, 26-28 September 1995. The symposium, like previous ones in the series, brought together researchers, developers and users of complex human-machine systems. Discussions covered manufacturing, process control, aircraft and air traffic control, and administrative processes with an emphasis on how to design such systems and integrate both developers and users into the design process. The main issues addressed, therefore, were the joint engineering of production processes, information technology and work organisation and the possibility that this may lead to the re-definition of human operators in process automation.
