The field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), particularly micromachinedmechanical transducers, has been expanding over recent years, and the productioncosts of these devices continue to fall. Using materials, fabrication processes, anddesign tools originally developed for the microelectronic circuits industry, newtypes of microengineered device are evolving all the time—many offering numerousadvantages over their traditional counterparts. The electrical properties of siliconhave been well understood for many years, but it is the mechanical properties thathave been exploited in many examples of MEMS. This book may seem slightlyunusual in that it has four Editors. However, since we all work together in this fieldwithin the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton,it seemed natural to work together on a project like this. MEMS are nowappearing as part of the syllabus for both undergraduate and postgraduate coursesat many universities, and we hope that this book will complement the teaching thatis taking place in this area.
Exuberant Ctags is a multilanguage reimplementation of the much-underused
ctags(1) program and is intended to be the mother of all ctags programs. It
generates indexes of source code definitions which are used by a number of
Editors and tools. The motivation which drove the development of Exuberant
Ctags was the need for a ctags program which supported generation of tags
for all possible C language constructs (which no other ctags offers), and
because most were easily fooled by a number of preprocessor contructs.
Artistic Style is a reindenter and reformatter of C, C++, C# and Java source code.
When indenting source code, we as programmers have a tendency to use both spaces and tab characters to create the wanted indentation. Moreover, some Editors by default insert spaces instead of tabs when pressing the tab key, and other Editors (Emacs for example) have the ability to "pretty up" lines by automatically setting up the white space before the code on the line, possibly inserting spaces in a code that up to now used only tabs for indentation.
The SWF [pronounced 鈥渟wiff 鈥? file format delivers vector graphics, text, video, and sound
over the Internet and is supported by Adobe廬 Flash廬 Player software. The SWF file format is
designed to be an efficient delivery format, not a format for exchanging graphics between
graphics Editors.
Eclipse is the leading Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) for Java, with a rich ecosystem of plug-ins and an open
source framework that supports other languages and projects.
You’ll fnd this reference card useful for getting started with
Eclipse and exploring the breadth of its features.
We rundown the Eclipse distributions and confguration
options, then guide you through Views, Editors, and Perspec-
tives in Workbench 101. We list the top shortcuts and toolbar
actions for everyday development. And, we provide a guide to
the best places for fnding plug-ins and getting involved with
the Eclipse community.
In the preparation of this book, our objective was to provide an advanced understanding of emerging
telecommunications systems, their significance, and the anticipated role these systems will play in the
future. With the help of our talented associated Editors and contributors, we believe we have accomplished
this. By addressing voice, Internet, traffic management, and future trends, we feel our readers will be
knowledgeable about current and future telecommunications systems.
