Designing Indoor Solar Products
Wiley | 2005-09-23 | ISBN 0470016612 | English | 198 pages | PDF | 6.8 MB
Photovoltaic technology - or the direct conversion of light into electricity - is the fastest growing means of electricity generation today, however it is generally used outdoors. Relatively little attention has been focused on the many obstacles to overcome when designing efficient indoor products. As a result, indoor products are more often than not limited to low power. Designing Indoor Solar Products bridges this gap by showing where AES (Ambient Energy Systems) based on photovoltaic cells may be used for higher power devices.

Motivated by both financial and ecological arguments, this book:

* Co-ordinates a wide-reaching range of scientific information regarding photovoltaic technologies and their application to indoor spaces.
* Analyses power management, power availability, technological selection and design methodologies.
* Uses real-life examples and case studies to demonstrate the arguments made.
* Presents information in such a way as to make it accessible even to engineers with basic electrical knowledge.

Designing Indoor Solar Products pulls together a wealth of information on photovoltaic technologies and their applications. It will be of practical interest to engineers and designers of sensor systems planning on using photovoltaic technology for power, whilst the theoretical approach will appeal to those in academia in the related areas of environmental engineering, sustainable development as well as building and product design.

Peter Minns, Ian Elliott “FSM-based Digital Design using Verilog HDL"
Wiley | 2008-05-16 | ISBN: 0470060700 | 408 pages | PDF | 3,3 Mb

As digital circuit elements decrease in physical size, resulting in increasingly complex systems, a basic logic model that can be used in the control and design of a range of semiconductor devices is vital. Finite State Machines (FSM) have numerous advantages; they can be applied to many areas (including motor control, and signal and serial data identification to name a few) and they use less logic than their alternatives, leading to the development of faster digital hardware systems.
This clear and logical book presents a range of novel techniques for the rapid and reliable design of digital systems using FSMs, detailing exactly how and where they can be implemented. With a practical approach, it covers synchronous and asynchronous FSMs in the design of both simple and complex systems, and Petri-Net design techniques for sequential/parallel control systems. Chapters on Hardware Description Language cover the widely-used and powerful Verilog HDL in sufficient detail to facilitate the description and verification of FSMs, and FSM based systems, at both the gate and behavioural levels.
Throughout, the text incorporates many real-world examples that demonstrate designs such as data acquisition, a memory tester, and passive serial data monitoring and detection, among others. A useful accompanying CD offers working Verilog software tools for the capture and simulation of design solutions.
With a linear programmed learning format, this book works as a concise guide for the practising digital designer. This book will also be of importance to senior students and postgraduates of electronic engineering, who require design skills for the embedded systems market.

Michele Sliger, Stacia Broderick “The Software Project Manager's Bridge to Agility"
Addison-Wesley Professional | 2008-05-31 | ISBN: 0321502752 | 384 pages | CHM | 4,5 Mb
When software development teams move to agile methods, experienced project managers often struggle—doubtful about the new approach and uncertain about their new roles and responsibilities. In this book, two long-time certified Project Management Professionals (PMPRs) and Scrum trainers have built a bridge to this dynamic new paradigm. They show experienced project managers how to successfully transition to agile by refocusing on facilitation and collaboration, not “command and control.”
The authors begin by explaining how agile works: how it differs from traditional “plan-driven” methodologies, the benefits it promises, and the real-world results it delivers. Next, they systematically map the Project Management Institute’s classic, methodology-independent techniques and terminology to agile practices. They cover both process and project lifecycles and carefully address vital issues ranging from scope and time to cost management and stakeholder communication. Finally, drawing on their own extensive personal experience, they put a human face on your personal transition to agile--covering the emotional challenges, personal values, and key leadership traits you’ll need to succeed.
Coverage includes
Relating the PMBOKR Guide ideals to agile practices: similarities, overlaps, and differences
Understanding the role and value of agile techniques such as iteration/release planning and retrospectives
Using agile techniques to systematically and continually reduce risk
Implementing quality assurance (QA) where it belongs: in analysis, design, defect prevention, and continuous improvement
Learning to trust your teams and listen for their discoveries
Procuring, purchasing, and contracting for software in agile, collaborative environments
Avoiding the common mistakes software teams make in transitioning to agile
Coordinating with project management offices and non-agile teams
“Selling” agile within your teams and throughout your organization

For every project manager who wants to become more agile.
