With the proliferation of this product more and more engineers and engineers-to-be (students) need to understand how to design, develop, and build with them. Martin Bates, best-selling author, has provided a step-by-step guide to programming these microcontrollers (MCUs) with the C programming language. With no previous knowledge of C necessary to read this book, it is the perfect for entry into this world for engineers who have not worked with PICs, new professionals, students, and hobbyists.
<p>As MCUs become more complex C is the most popular language due to its ability to process advanced processes and multitasking. RTOSs, that is a need to know for engineers, is also discussed as more advanced MCUs require timing and organization of programming and implementation of multitasking. The book includes lots of source code, circuit schematics, and hardware block diagrams. Microchip's PICDEM Mechatronics board is used to detail the examples throughout the book.http://www.lybrary.com/programming-8bit-microcontrollers-with-interactive-hardware-simulation-with-interactive-hardware-simulation-p-66476.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/programming-8bit-microcontrollers-with-interactive-hardware-simulation-with-interactive-hardware-simulation-p-66476.htmlSun, 05 Sep 2010 00:00:00 EDT Over half a century after the discovery of the piezoresistive effect, microsystem technology has experienced considerable developments. Expanding the opportunities of microelectronics to non-electronic systems, its number of application fields continues to increase. Microsensors are one of the most important fields, used in medical applications and micromechanics. Microfluidic systems are also a significant area, most commonly used in ink-jet printer heads.<p>This textbook focuses on the essentials of microsystems technology, providing a knowledgeable grounding and a clear path through this well-established scientific dicipline. With a methodical, student-orientated approach, <i>Introduction to Microsystem Technology</i> covers the following: <ul> <li>microsystem materials (including silicon, polymers and thin films), and the scaling effects of going micro; <li>fabrication techniques based on different material properties, descriptions of their limitations and functional and shape elements produced by these techniques; <li>sensors and actuators based on elements such as mechanical, fluidic, and thermal (yaw rate sensor components are described); <li>the influence of technology parameters on microsystem properties, asking, for example, when is the function of a microsystem device robust and safe? </ul><p>The book presents problems at the end of each chapter so that you may test your understanding of the key concepts (full solutions for these are given on an accompanying website). Practical examples are included also, as well as case studies that enable a better understanding of the technology as a whole. With its extensive treatment on the fundamentals of microsystem technology, this book also serves as a compendium for engineers and technicians working with microsystem technology.http://www.lybrary.com/introduction-microsystem-technology-guide-students-microsystem-nanotechnology-series - me20-p-66380.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/introduction-microsystem-technology-guide-students-microsystem-nanotechnology-series - me20-p-66380.htmlSun, 05 Sep 2010 00:00:00 EDT Multi-Level Issues in Creativity and Innovation" is Volume 7 of Research in Multi-Level Issues, an annual series that provides an outlet for the discussion of multi-level problems and solutions across a variety of fields of study. Using a scientific debate format of a key scholarly essay followed by two commentaries and a rebuttal, we present, in this series, theoretical work, significant empirical studies, methodological developments, analytical techniques, and philosophical treatments to advance the field of multi-level studies, regardless of disciplinary perspective. Similar to Volumes 1 through 6 (Yammarino & Dansereau, 2002, 2004, 2006; Dansereau & Yammarino, 2003, 2005, 2007), this volume, Volume 7, edited by Mumford, Hunter, and Bedell-Avers, contains five major essays with commentaries and rebuttals that cover a range of topics, but in the realms of creativity and innovation. In particular, the five "critical essays" offer extensive literature reviews, new model developments, methodological advancements, and some data for the study of creativity and social influence, innovation and planning, creativity and cognitive processes, sub-system configuration, and new venture emergence. While each of the major essays, and associated commentaries and rebuttals, is unique in orientation, they show a common bond in raising and addressing multi-level issues or discussing problems and solutions that involve multiple levels of analysis in creativity and innovation.http://www.lybrary.com/multilevel-issues-creativity-innovation-research-multilevel-issues-volume-p-63532.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/multilevel-issues-creativity-innovation-research-multilevel-issues-volume-p-63532.htmlSun, 05 Sep 2010 00:00:00 EDT This is a rich toolbox of practical FGPA design techniques at an engineer's finger tips.
