The OSI (Open System Interconnection) reference model is the basis of modern data network design, but it underlines the public switched telephone network (PSTN) as well. For voice engineers learning how to send services over data networks, and for Internet engineers learning how to tap into the PSTN, the OSI model is an ideal point of reference. This book covers roles, functions, definitions and the fundamentals that are required of entry-level personnel.

On the surface, choosing the correct propeller for a particular boat seems simple. But one factor affects another, which then affects another factor, leading many boaters to believe that propeller selection depends more on black magic than logic.

All the questions are answered in this complete reference, the first of its kind. This clear, easy-to-use handbook for all small boats is written not for Ph.D.s seeking the latest wrinkle in high-tech propeller design, but as a practical aid for the average mechanic, engineer, boatbuilder, fleet operator, serious yachtsman, or naval...

This volume focuses entirely on building the inexpensive, remote-controlled robot, The Questor. The book is illustrated with step-by-step, detailed photographs of each stage of the assembly process. No advanced electronic or programming skills are required, making the book suitable for first-time experimenters. The emphasis is on the techniques needed to build the robot, rather than on the theory of robot design.

This work covers early implementation, from the association set up to promoting GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) deployment worldwide.
