A programmable digital signal processor (PDSP) is a special-purpose microprocessor
with specialized architecture and instruction set for implementing DSP
algorithms. Typical architectural features INclude multiple memory partitions (onchip,
off-chip, data memory, program memory, etc.), multiple (generally pipelined)
arithmetic and logic units (ALUs), nonuniform register sets, and extensive
hardware numeric support [1,2]. Single-chip PDSPs have become increasingly
popular for real-time DSP applications [3,4].
For developers who design and program devices that use the USB interface. Introduce the USB
and help to get your devices and communicating as quickly and easily as possible.The USB is versatile enough for a wide range of peripheral devices. Standard peripherals that use USB INclude mice, keyboards, drives, printers,
and audio/video devices. USB is also suitable for data-acquisition units, control
systems, and other devices with specialized functions, including one-of-a-kind designs.
David Vernon is the Coordinator of the European Network for the Advancement of Artificial Cognitive Systems and he is a Visiting Professor of Cognitive Systems at the University of Genoa. He is also a member of the management team of the RobotCub integrated working on the development of open-source cognitive humanoid robot.
Over the past 27 years, he has held positions at Westinghouse Electric, Trinity College Dublin, the European Commission, the National University of Ireland Maynooth, Science Foundation Ireland, and Etisalat University College.
He has authored two and edited three books on computer vision and has published over eighty papers in the fields of Computer Vision, Robotics, and Cognitive Systems. His research interests INclude Fourier-based computer vision and enactive approaches to cognition.
He is currently a Professor at Etisalat University College in Sharjah-United Arab Emirates, focusing on Masters programs by research in Computing fields.".[1]
Software-defined radios (SDRs) have been around for more than a decade. The
first complete Global Positioning System (GPS) implementation was described
by Dennis Akos in 1997. Since then several research groups have presented their
contributions.We therefore find it timely to publish an up-to-date text on the subject
and at the same time INclude Galileo, the forthcoming European satellitebased
navigation system. Both GPS and Galileo belong to the category of Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
I was pleasantly surprised when in November 2005 a message arrived from Wayne
Wheeler, the new computer science editor of Springer Verlag, notifying me that he in
tends to qualify this book as a Springer major reference work (MRW), thereby releasing
past restrictions on page counts, freeing me from the constraint of having to compress
my style, and making it possible to INclude important and interesting data compression
methods that were either ignored or mentioned in passing in previous editions.
