Suitable for graduate and postgraduate students, this volume emphasizes practical designs and applications of distributed computer control systems. It demonstrates how to improve plant productivity and enhance product quality.

Revised and expanded guide demonstrates microcomputer usage by working through one simple design challenge and explaining its solution. This edition features the contributions of an Ada expert, demonstrates (in 14 new chapters) the development of a microcomputer system structured by this language, a

This text concentrates on the fundamentals of protective relaying and aims to provide lasting information in intelligible language. It covers the relative qualities of modern transmission line systems, communications channels, three-terminal applications and program design for microprocessors, and also supplies an encyclopaedic bibliography listing professional papers useful to the relay engineer.

Presents basic theories, techniques, and procedures used to analyze, design, and implement two-dimensional filters; and surveys a number of applications in image and seismic data processing that demonstrate their use in real-world signal processing.

Showing the relation of physics to circuit interruption technology, this title describes for engineers the switching phenomena, test procedures, and applications of modern, high-voltage circuit breakers, especially SF, gas-blast, and the vacuum types used in medium-voltage ranges.
