Mobile and wireless application development has come a long way in the past few
years. It has progressed beyond the hype of wireless Web applications for consumers
to the reality of high-value mobile applications for corporate users. Opportunities
abound for creating new mobile and wireless applications that provide vital benefits to
any business. A sampling of these benefits includes increased worker productivity,
reduced processing costs, heightened accuracy, and competitive advantage. In contrast
is the concern that Developing mobile and wireless applications will involve many new
technologies and concepts that many corporate developers are still learning to use.
This book is intended for the graduate or advanced undergraduate
engineer. The primary motivation for Developing the text was to present a
complete tutorial of phase-locked loops with a consistent notation. I believe
this is critical for the practicing engineer who uses the text as a self-study
guide.
The focus of this book is on Developing computational algorithms for transmit wave-
form design in active sensing applications, such as radar, sonar, communications and
medical imaging. Waveforms are designed to achieve certain desired properties, which
are divided into three categories corresponding to the three main parts in the book,
namely good aperiodic correlations, good periodic correlations and beampattern match-
ing.
This chapter provides extensive coverage of existing mobile wireless technologies. Much of the
emphasis is on the highly anticipated 3G cellular networks and widely deployed wireless local
area networks (LANs), as the next-generation smart phones are likely to offer at least these two
types of connectivity. Other wireless technologies that either have already been commercialized or
are undergoing active research and standardization are introduced as well. Because standardization
plays a crucial role in Developing a new technology and a market, throughout the discussion
standards organizations and industry forums or consortiums of some technologies are introduced.
In addition, the last section of this chapter presents a list of standards in the wireless arena.
This book is focused on designing and Developing Representational State Transfer (REST)
platforms in Rails. REST is the architectural style of the Web, consisting of a set of
constraints that, applied to components, connectors, and data elements, constitute the
wider distributed hypermedia system that we know today: the World Wide Web.
There are a few good reasons why it makes more sense to build platforms instead of just
products or applications. Platforms are like ecosystems interconnecting different
applications, services, users, developers, and partners. Platforms foster innovation through
the inputs of their direct collaborators. By providing application programming interfaces
(APIs) and software development kits (SDKs), platforms are more customer driven.
The term “ smart grid ” defi nes a self - healing network equipped with dynamic optimiza-
tion techniques that use real - time measurements to minimize network losses, maintain
voltage levels, increase reliability, and improve asset management. The operational data
collected by the smart grid and its sub - systems will allow system operators to rapidly
identify the best strategy to secure against attacks, vulnerability, and so on, caused by
various contingencies. However, the smart grid fi rst depends upon identifying and
researching key performance measures, designing and testing appropriate tools, and
Developing the proper education curriculum to equip current and future personnel with
the knowledge and skills for deployment of this highly advanced system.
adio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a rapidly Developing automatic wireless data-collection
technology with a long history.The first multi-bit functional passive RFID systems,with a range of
several meters, appeared in the early 1970s, and continued to evolve through the 1980s. Recently,
RFID has experienced a tremendous growth,due to developments in integrated circuits and radios,
and due to increased interest from the retail industrial and government.
Building a robot and enabling it to sense its environment is a wonderful way to
take your Arduino knowledge to the next level. In writing this book, I have brought
together my love for invention and my experience with electronics, robotics and
microcontrollers. I hope you have as much pleasure building and enhancing your
robot as I did Developing the techniques contained in this book.
Signals convey information. Systems transform signals. This book introduces the mathe-
matical models used to design and understand both. It is intended for students interested
in Developing a deep understanding of how to digitally create and manipulate signals to
measure and control the physical world and to enhance human experience and communi-
cation.
Research on microwave power amplififiers has gained a growing importance demanded by the many continuously Developing applications which require such subsystem performance. A broad set of commercial and strategic systems in fact have their overall performance boosted by the power amplififier, the latter becoming an enabling component wherever its effificiency and output power actually allows functionalities and operating modes previously not possible. This is the case for the many wireless systems and battery-operated systems that form the substrate of everyday life, but also of high-performance satellite and dual-use systems.
