When I first studied Kalman filtering, I saw many advanced signal processing submissions here at the MATLAB Central File exchange, but I didn t see a heavily commented, basic Kalman filter present to allow someone new to Kalman filters to learn about creating them. So, a year later, I ve written a very simple, heavily commented discrete filter.
New users and old of optimization in MATLAB will find useful tips and tricks in this document, as well as examples one can use as templates for their own problems.
Use this tool by editing the file optimtips.m, then execute blocks of code in cell mode from the editor, or best, publish the file to HTML. Copy and paste also works of course.
Some readers may find this tool valuable if only for the function pleas - a partitioned least squares solver based on lsqnonlin.
This is a work in progress, as I fully expect to add new topics as I think of them or as suggestions are made. Suggestions for topics I ve missed are welcome, as are corrections of my probable numerous errors. The topics currently covered are listed below
Welcome to the Wrox Press C++ tutorial
"I hope you ll enjoy reading this tutorial with your portable, your work, or your home PC. It s a perfect companion to the Introduction to Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Edition manual and is a proven aid to understanding the C++ language. The material in this tutorial is adapted from my book Beginning Visual C++ 6.0, to provide you with a thorough grounding in pure C++. I ve been careful to address the new standards in C++ laid out by the ANSI and ISO committees and I encourage you to adopt these conventions so that your programs are maintainable for years to come.
Hibernate: A Developer s Notebook shows you how to use Hibernate to automate persistence: you write natural Java objects and some simple configuration files, and Hibernate automates all the interaction between your objects and the database. You don t even need to know the database is there, and you can change from one database to another simply by changing a few statements in a configuration file. If you ve needed to add a database backend to your application, don t put it off. It s much more fun than it used to be, and Hibernate: A Developer s Notebook shows you why.
If you re like me, you re excited by what people do with template metaprogramming (TMP) but are frustrated at the lack of clear guidance and powerful tools. Well, this is the book we ve been waiting for. With help from the excellent Boost Metaprogramming Library, David and Aleksey take TMP from the laboratory to the workplace with readable prose and practical examples, showing that "compile-time STL" is as able as its runtime counterpart. Serving as a tutorial as well as a handbook for experts, this is the book on C++ template metaprogramming."Chuck Allison, Editor, The C++ Source
This book is for you if
You re no "dummy," and you need to get quickly up to speed in intermediate to advanced C++
You ve had some experience in C++ programming, but reading intermediate and advanced C++ books is slow-going
You ve had an introductory C++ course, but you ve found that you still can t follow your colleagues when they re describing their C++ designs and code
You re an experienced C or Java programmer, but you don t yet have the experience to develop nuanced C++ code and designs
You re a C++ expert, and you re looking for an alternative to answering the same questions from your less-experienced colleagues over and over again
C++ Common Knowledge covers essential but commonly misunderstood topics in C++ programming and design while filtering out needless complexity in the discussion of each topic. What remains is a clear distillation of the essentials required for production C++ programming, presented in the author s trademark incisive, engaging style.
I often need a simple function generator. Just to generate a certain frequency. After all the years I ve worked with electronics, I still haven t got me one. Even though I need it now and then, I just couldn t seem to justify the cost of one.
So, standard solution - build one yourself.
I designed a simple sinewave generator based on a Analog Devices AD9832 chip. It will generate a sinewave from 0.005 to 12 MHz in 0.005 Hz steps.
That s pretty good, and definitely good enough for me ! But while waiting for the AD9832 chip to arrive, I came up with a very simple version of the DDS synth, using just the 2313 and a resistor network.
"Everyone will want this book because it provides a great mix of practical experience, historical perspective, and a depth of understanding that only comes from being intimately involved in the field. I ve already enjoyed and learned from reading this book, and surely you will too."
-Sam Leffler
That s how the temperature monitor/controller came to be.
It was an obvious task for a small processor and I ve always wanted to test the Dallas temperature sensors.
