Describes the technology and engineering of the Large Hadron collider (LHC), one of the greatest scientific marvels of this young 21st century. This book traces the feat of its construction, written by the head scientists involved, placed into the context of the scientific goals and principles.
Introduces undergraduate engineering students to the measurement principles and the range of sensors and instruments that are used for measuring physical variables. This title covers developments in such measurement technologies as smart sensors, intelligent instruments, microsensors, digital recorders and displays and interfaces.
Offers methods for increasing process efficiency, production rate, and quality. This title includes advice to help you tackle process instrument and control assignments confidently and solve problems efficiently. It provides coverage of the Windows NT platform and Fieldbus; and, distributed control systems and field-based systems.
Provides comprehensive coverage of the field of mechatronics for mechanical, electrical and aerospace engineering majors. This title presents a review of electrical circuits, solid-state devices, digital circuits, and motors - which are fundamental to understanding mechatronic systems.
Provides a reference on the aspects of audio engineering and technology including basic mathematics and formulae, acoustics and psychoacoustics, microphones, loudspeakers and studio installations. This work covers areas such as digital audio and transmission technology.
Helps users select and implement hundreds of measurement and control instruments and analytical devices and design cost-effective process control systems for optimizing production and maximizing safety. This volume emphasizes installation and maintenance considerations. It also includes product descriptions from manufacturers around the world.
The software simulation of gauges, control-knobs, metres and indicators which behave just like real hardware components on a PC's screen is known as virtual instrumentation. This book uses the Delphi program to create these mimics and PIC-based external sensors are connected through a USB/RS232 converter communication link to a PC.
Automatic navigation makes travel safer: Unless they malfunction, machines are tireless and always vigilant. This book discusses the sensors (gyroscopes and accelerometers) used in navigational systems that cannot depend on external data for determining the speed and position.
