LabVIEW™ Advanced Programming Techniques
SECOND EDITION
by : Rick Bitter, Taqi Mohiuddin, Matt Nawrocki

As the power of the standard personal computer has steadily evolved, so have the capabilities of LabVIEW. LabVIEW has simplified the working lives of thousands of scientists, engineers, and technicians, and has increased their productivity. Automation has reduced the costs and increased the manufacturing outputs of factories around the world. Cycle times for product development have been shortened and quality of many products has steadily improved. LabVIEW does not get credit for all of these improvements, but has without question played a valuable role in many organizations for accomplishing these goals.

The chapters in this book are written in a manner that will allow readers to study the topic of interest without having to read the contents in sequential order. Users of LabVIEW with varying levels of expertise will find this book beneficial.

Image Acquisition and Processing with LabVIEW fills a hole in the LabVIEW technical publication range. It is intended for competent LabVIEW programmers, as a general training manual for those new to National Instruments’ (NI) Vision application development and a reference for more-experienced vision programmers.

It is assumed that readers have attained programming knowledge comparable to that taught in the NI LabVIEW Basics II course (see http://www.ni.com/training for a detailed course outline). The book covers introductions and theory of general image acquisition and processing topics, while providing more in-depth discussions and examples of speciÞc NI Vision tools.

This book is a comprehensive IMAQ and Vision resource combining reference material, theory on image processing techniques, information on how LabVIEW and the NI Vision toolkit handle each technique, examples of each of their uses and realworld case studies, all in one book.

The Art of Designing Embedded Systems
Second Edition
By Jack Ganssle

For the purpose of this book, an embedded system is any application where a dedicated computer is built right into the system. While this definition can apply even to major weapon systems based on embedded blade servers, here I address the perhaps less glamorous but certainly much more common applications using 8-, 16-, and 32-bit processors.

Historically, embedded systems were programmed by hardware designers, since only they
understood the detailed bits and bytes of their latest creation. With the paradigm of the microprocessor as a controller, it was natural for the digital engineer to design as well as code a simple sequencer. Unfortunately, most hardware people were not trained in design methodologies, data structures, and structured programming. The result: many early microprocessor-based products were built on thousands of lines of devilishly complicated spaghetti code. The systems were un-maintainable, sometimes driving companies out of business.

This book is written with a wide range of Inventor users in mind, varying from beginning to
advanced users:
◆ Beginning Inventor users who are making the move from traditional 2D CAD design to
Inventor 2009. These readers will have experience with AutoCAD and an understanding
of basic design and engineering concepts, as well as a desire to improve their skill set and
stay competitive in the market place.

◆ Intermediate Inventor users who have gone through formal Inventor training during their
company’s initial implementation of Inventor and are looking for more information on a
specific module within Inventor. This book also targets users looking for a desktop reference
to turn to when they come upon an area of Inventor that they do not encounter on a
day-to-day basis.

◆ Advanced Inventor users who have mastered the Inventor tools they use over and over
daily but want to conquer the parts of the program they do not utilize during their normal
design tasks. This book also targets advanced users who want to add to their skill set to
move up the ranks within their present company or want to expand their knowledge in
pursuit of a new position with another employer.

Mechanical Engineering Systems
by Richard Gentle, Peter Edwards, Bill Bolton
ISBN 0 7506 5213 6

The philosophy is to provide a series of complementary texts which can be tailored to the actual courses being run – allowing the flexibility for course designers to take into account ‘local’ issues, such as areas of particular staff expertise and interest, while being able to demonstrate the depth and breadth of course material referenced to a common framework. The series is designed to cover material in the core texts which approximately corresponds to the first year of study with module texts focussing on individual topics to second and final year level. While the general structure of each of the texts is common, the styles are quite different, reflecting best practice in their areas. For example Mechanical Engineering Systems adopts a ‘tell – show – do’ approach, allowing students to work independently as well as in class, whereas Business Skills for Engineers and Technologists adopts a ‘framework’ approach, setting the context and boundaries and providing opportunities for discussion.

Materials for engineering, Third edition
by J. W. Martin
ISBN-13: 978-1-84569-157-8

Overview
This textbook represents an attempt to present a relatively brief overview of Materials Science, the anticipated readership being students of structural and mechanical engineering. It is in two sections – the first characterising engineering materials, the second considering structure– property relationships. Emphasis is thus placed on the relationship between structure and properties of materials, starting with the concept of ‘structure’ at three levels – crystal structure, microstructure, and molecular structure. The discussion of microstructure introduces the topics of phase transformations, metallography and phase diagrams – none of which would be familiar to the intended readership.

Certified Project Management Professional (PMP)
Published by,Wiley Publishing, Inc. This book helps you recognize that the basic tenets of successful project management are simple. The most complex analytical technique takes less than ten minutes to master! In this book, I introduce information that’s necessary to plan and manage projects, and I provide important guidelines for developing and using this information. You discover that the real challenge to a successful project is dealing with the multitude of people whom a project may affect or need for support. I present plenty of tips, hints, and guidelines for identifying key players and then involving them.But knowledge alone won’t make you a successful project manager — you need to apply it. This book’s theme is that project-management skills and techniques aren’t burdensome tasks you perform because some process requires it. Rather, they’re a way of thinking, communicating, and behaving. They’re an integral part of how we approach all aspects of our work every day.

Overview

By Andrei Grebennikov and Nathan O. Sokal
ISBN: 978-0-7506-7962-6

Overview
This book is intended for and can be recommended to practicing RF circuit designers and engineers as an anthology of a wide family of high-efficiency RF and microwave power amplifiers based on both well-known and novel switched-mode operation conditions with detailed description of their operational principles and applications and clear practical demonstration of theoretical results. To bridge the theoretical idealized results with real practical implementation, the theory is supported by design examples, in which the optimum design approaches effectively combine analytical calculations and simulation, resulting in practical schematics of high-efficiency power-amplifier circuits using different types of field effect or bipolar transistors.

Almost all the theorems in this book are well-known old results of a carefully studied subject. The well-known ones are more important than the few novel aspects of the book.

However, some details like the converse of Taylor's theorem (both continuous and discrete) are not so easy to nd in traditional calculus sources. The microscope theorem for dierential equations does not appear in the literature as far as we know, though it is similar to research work of Francine and Marc Diener from the 1980s. We conclude the book with convergence results for Fourier series. While there is nothing novel in our approach, these results have been lost from contemporary calculus and deserve to be part of it. Our development follows Courant's calculus of the 1930s giving wonderful results of Dirichlet's era in the 1830s that clearly settle some of the convergence mysteries of Euler from the 1730s. This theory and our development throughout is usually easy to apply. Clean theory should be the servant of intuition building on it and making it stronger and clearer.

There is more that is novel about this book. It is free and it is not a book since it is not printed. Thanks to small marginal cost, our publisher agreed to include this electronic text on CD at no extra cost. We also plan to distribute it over the world wide web. We hope our fresh look at the foundations of calculus will stimulate your interest. Decide for yourself what's the best way to understand this wonderful subject. Give your own proofs.
