Estimation, Control, and the Discrete Kalman Filter
ISBN: 9781461288640 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1960, R. E. Kalman published his celebrated paper on recursive min- imum variance estimation in dynamical systems 14]. This paper, which introduced an algorithm that has since been known as the discrete Kalman filter, produced a virtual revolution in the field of systems engineering. Today, Kalman filters are used in such diverse areas as navigation, guid- ance, oil drilling, water and air quality, and geodetic surveys. In addition, Kalman's work led to a multitude of books and papers on minimum vari- ance estimation in dynamical systems, including one by Kalman and Bucy on continuous...

Artificial Intelligence in Design
ISBN: 9783642743566 / Angielski / Miękka / 499 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Computers have been employed for some time in engineering design mainly as numerical or graphical tools to assist analysis and draughting. The advent of the technology of artificial intelligence and expert systems has enabled computers to be applied to less deterministic design tasks which require symbolic manipulation and reasoning, instead of only routine number processing. This book presents recent examples of such applications, focusing on mechanical and manufacturing design. The term 'design' is interpreted here in its wider sense to include creative activities such as planning. The book...

Analysis of Periodically Time-Varying Systems
ISBN: 9783642818752 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many of the practical techniques developed for treating systems described by periodic differential equations have arisen in different fields of application; con sequently some procedures have not always been known to workers in areas that might benefit substantially from them. Furthermore, recent analytical methods are computationally based so that it now seems an opportune time for an applications-oriented book to be made available that, in a sense, bridges the fields in which equations with periodic coefficients arise and which draws together analytical methods that are implemented readily....

The Measurement of Turbulent Fluctuations: An Introduction to Hot-Wire Anemometry and Related Transducers
ISBN: 9783642819858 / Angielski / Miękka / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Smol'yakov and Tkachenko's book is a very thorough and detailed survey of the response of hot wires and related trans ducers to a fluctuating flow field. Now that the electronic equipment needed for hot-wire anemometry is so easy to make or cheap to buy, transducer response is the most critical part of the subject - except for the fragility of the sensing element, for which textbooks are no remedy We hope that this book will be useful to all students and research workers concerned with the theory or practice of these devices or the interpretation of results. Peter Bradshaw Imperial College...

Modelling and Control of Dynamic Flows in Communication Networks
ISBN: 9783642832079 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In modern communication networks with stored program control the implementation of sophisticated traffic control rules is worthwhile. This allows efficient sharing of existing resources and often defers network extension. Moreover, the flexible control adapts well to changing load conditions during periods of overload and equipment failure. When these benefits become evident, many network administrations start to implement corresponding solutions. This book attempts to provide a systematic approach to the analysis and synthesis of advanced traffic control concepts. Because the book is...

ISBN: 9783642836275 / Angielski / Miękka / 565 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book consists of a collection of works dealing with CAD based robot programming. This is the process where CAD (computer based) models are used for task planning and the development of robot programs. If the program is generated by a programmer interacting with a CAD display of the robot and its workcell environment, the process is called off-line or interactive programming. On the other hand, if the robot program is generated automatically by the computer, then the process is referred to as automatic robot programming. This book is unique in that it focuses on the use of CAD models both...

Complexity Perspectives on Language, Communication and Society
ISBN: 9783642328169 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The "language-communication-society" triangle defies traditional scientific approaches. Rather, it is a phenomenon that calls for an integration of complex, transdisciplinary perspectives, if we are to make any progress in understanding how it works. The highly diverse agents in play are not merely cognitive and/or cultural, but also emotional and behavioural in their specificity. Indeed, the effort may require building a theoretical and methodological body of knowledge that can effectively convey the characteristic properties of phenomena in human terms.
