Product Description This book is about various adaptive and dynamic techniques used to optimize processor power and performance. It is based on a very successful forum at ISSCC which focused on Adaptive Techniques. Most high performance processors and embedded processors use adaptive techniques to overcome process variation, temperature, and termal effects. This book will look at the underlying process technology for adaptive designs and then different circuits, architecture and software that address the different aspects. The chapters are written by both people in academia and the industry in order to show the scope of alternative practices.

Product Description In the high frequency world, the passive technologies required to realize RF and microwave functionality present distinctive challenges. SAW filters, dielectric resonators, MEMS, and waveguide do not have counterparts in the low frequency or digital environment. Even when conventional lumped components can be used in high frequency applications, their behavior does not resemble that observed at lower frequencies. RF and Microwave Passive and Active Technologies provides detailed information about a wide range of component technologies used in modern RF and microwave systems. Updated chapters include new material on such technologies as MEMS, device packaging, surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, bipolar junction and heterojunction transistors, and high mobility electron transistors (HMETs). The book also features a completely rewritten section on wide bandgap transistors. Part of the second edition of the best-selling "RF and Microwave Handbook", this convenient and sharply focused guide examines the latest passive and active technologies that rely on RF and microwave technology. The growth of wireless technology over the past decade has been enormous, and this carefully edited book discusses the latest developments and technologies impacting the wireless field. Heavily updated chapters include new material on such technologies as MEMS, device packaging, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters, bipolar junction and heterojunction transistors, and High Mo Read more...

Review 'Reasonable use and foreseeable abuse are the watch words for safety and this book tries to put that into context, rather that trying to make the burden of compliance go away through quick fix remedies... As well as focusing on LVD, this book also manages to give an overview of all new approach directives which in itself achieves something most other publications have been unable to do.' New Electronics Product Description Compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) is now essential for CE marking. Products cannot leave your firm without it. This book provides essential and informative reading for company directors, engineers, designers and students designing, manufacturing or studying the design of electrical products covered by the Low Voltage Directive. Unlike many textbooks that offer general guidance only this book provides illustrated examples of non-compliant products and suggests solutions. It also provides detailed guidance notes to EN60950 - one of the most widely used harmonised standards. Gregg Kervill is an international consultant on European regulations and North American product safety standards. His clients include blue chip and Fortune 500 companies as well as Government agencies. Gregg Kervill advises his clients on self-declaration of the Low Voltage Directive. A guide to LVD compliance for managers and engineers alike Clear, concise guidance through a legislative minefield Essential for companies all over Europe # Hardcover: Read more...

Product Description The modernization of industrial power systems has been stifled by industry's acceptance of extremely outdated practices. Industry is hesitant to depart from power system design practices influenced by the economic concerns and technology of the post World War II period. In order to break free of outdated techniques and ensure product quality and continuity of operations, engineers must apply novel techniques to plan, design, and implement electrical power systems. Based on the author's 40 years of experience in Industry, Industrial Power Systems illustrates the importance of reliable power systems and provides engineers the tools to plan, design, and implement one. Using materials from IEEE courses developed for practicing engineers, the book covers relevant engineering features and modern design procedures, including power system studies, grounding, instrument transformers, and medium-voltage motors. The author provides a number of practical tables, including IEEE and European standards, and design principles for industrial applications. Long overdue, Industrial Power Systems provides power engineers with a blueprint for designing electrical systems that will provide continuously available electric power at the quality and quantity needed to maintain operations and standards of production.

Bookwire Review, May 30, 2006 Fly fishing worshippers seeking a new "bible" will benefit greatly from the wealth of information found in this book. Book Description Renowned news anchor Tom Brokaw once said, "If fishing is like religion, then fly fishing is high church." Fly fishing worshippers seeking a new "bible" will benefit greatly from the wealth of information found in "Fly Fishing: the Lifetime Sport, a comprehensive yet highly readable reference tool for fly fishermen of any skill level. With 8 1/2" x 11" full glossy pages, this book is well organized and visually appealing, with color photographs and illustrations on virtually every page. For the novice, fly fishing can appear to be an intimidating sport that requires expensive eqipment, flawless technique, and intrinsic sportmanship. The sport, however, has been broken down in easy-to understand, bite-size sections, beginning with such basics as choosing the right tackle, an introduction to flies, casting essentials, and practice methods. The casting chapter includes dozens of visual examples of proper techniques. The book's writing style is simple and straightforward and the inclusion of personal fishing stories gives the book added authenticity. Later chapters cover topics such as stream and still water characteristics, aquatic environment, wading, and angler etiquette. A meticulously illustrated section on knots takes the mystery out of this essential skill. Plenty of information is also offered for Read more...

Review "Worth It!" Bill Schweber, EDN "...subjects are treated in a concise, clear and self-contained fashion, always helped by a broad exhaustive bibliography, and cover all the necessary aspects for electronic design..." Measurement Science and Technology, www.iop.org "...readers can partake of a plethora of well-crafted instruction, seasoned with just the right amount of levity. I enthusiastically endorse the book, particularly to those who have never benefited from the simulation experience." Physics Today. Product Description Engineers and scientists frequently have to get involved in electronic circuit design even though it may not be their specialty. Writing for the inexperienced designer, Hamilton begins by reviewing the basic mathematics and physics needed to understand circuit design. He then goes on to discuss individual components (resistors, capacitors etc.) and commonly encountered circuit elements such as differentiators, oscillators, filters and couplers. A major bonus is the inclusion of a CD with the student edition of the PSpice simulation software, together with models of most of the circuits covered.
