Textbook

Boris Kapilevich, Stuart William Harmer, and Nicholas Bowring

Dikshitulu K. Kalluri

This book explains the use of microwave and millimeter wave sensors for the detection of concealed objects, typically weapons and explosive devices, on the human body. The sensors are configured in a non-imaging format, and therefore share many similarities with radar, except that they are employed not to detect the presence of people or other objects, but to detect and discriminate objects carried and concealed beneath the clothing of persons, as a part of security prescreening. The book discusses, where permitted, sensor devices that the authors have built, patented, and in some cases licensed and results of tests in realistic scenarios.

This book focuses on lower-level courses, primarily senior undergraduate and graduate students in electromagnetic waves and materials courses. It takes an integrative approach to the subject of electromagnetics by supplementing quintessential “old-school” information and methods with the appropriate amount of material on plasmas for exposing the students to the broad area of plasmonics and by striking a balance between theoretical and practical aspects.

Texas Instruments, Austin, Texas, USA

Deloitte, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Languages such as C and Java foster the belief that programmers need only address problems at the highest levels of a program’s operation. Nevertheless, even modern coding requires an understanding of basic assembly methods such as those gained by learning ARM as the hardware responsible for today’s coprocessors or for saturated math operations can be accessed only through its native instructions. Written by the director of ARM’s worldwide academic program, this volume examines code relevant to today’s microcontrollers.

Introduction to Analysis

Introduction to Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing

Steven G. Krantz Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, USA

A one-semester undergraduate introduction to pure mathematics for minimizing the amount of intuition built into pure mathematics.

Edited by

Chandrasekhar Roychoudhuri

Victor A Soifer

University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA

Nanophotonics deals with the diffraction of light from objects with nanoscale features. This book addresses cutting-edge problems in the field of nanophotonics as well as a wide variety of advanced methods for the rigorous simulation of light diffraction by nanophotonics devices. It also treats issues of optical trapping, micro- and nano-manipulation based on laser vortex beams, and tight subwavelength focusing of laser light. It offers a great variety of numerical examples with detailed parameters so any reader can reproduce the calculations and compare the results of their own with those given in the book.

This work explains how the non-interaction of waves principle applies to both classical and quantum optics. Focusing on waves in the linear domain, it explores ambiguous, contradictory, and paradoxical concepts that exist in spite of apparently correct mathematical formulations. The author reformulates classical and quantum optics mathematics by clearly defining the methodology used for gathering information from these measurements. The book provides the tools to properly validate a model of these measurements, thus giving a more coherent and simpler understanding of classical and quantum optics.

This book presents a novel inverse optimal control approach for stabilization and trajectory tracking of discrete-time nonlinear systems. This approach avoids the need to solve the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and minimizes a cost functional, resulting in efficient controllers. The book also proposes the use of recurrent neural networks to model discrete-time nonlinear systems. Combined with the inverse optimal control scheme, such models constitute a powerful tool to deal with uncertainties such as unmodeled dynamics and disturbances. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the synthesized controllers.

Stochastic H2/H∞ Control

Textbook

Sensors and Actuators

Weihai Zang and Lihua Xie

Clarence W. de Silva Presenting unified and integrated coverage, Sensors and Actuators introduces practical applications and tools of control system instrumentation. It summarizes key issues and supplies numerous worked examples, case studies, problems, exercises based on practical situations, references, and suggestions for further reading. Topics include component interconnection, analog sensors and transducers, signal conditioning, performance specification, stepper motors, and digital transducers. The book also makes an ideal reference for engineers, technicians, and other professionals in a variety of different disciplines.

The H∞ control has been one of the important robust control approaches since the 1980s. This book extends the area to nonlinear stochastic H2/H∞ control, and studies more complex and practically useful mixed H2/ H∞ controller synthesis rather than the pure H∞ control. Different from the commonly used convex optimization method, this book applies the Nash game approach to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the mixed H2/H∞ control. Researchers will benefit from our detailed exposition of the stochastic mixed H2/H∞ control theory, while practitioners can apply our efficient algorithms to address their practical problems.

X86 Assembly Language and C Fundamentals Joseph Cavanagh

The primary purpose of control is to force desired behavior in an unpredictable environment, under oftenarbitrary disturbances and initial conditions. Thus tracking and tracking control synthesis are fundamental control issues. Surprisingly, however, tracking theory has not been well developed, and stability theory has dominated. This book presents the fundamentals of tracking theory for control systems. It introduces the full transfer function matrix, which changes the theory of linear dynamical and control systems and enables a novel synthesis of tracking control that works more effectively in real conditions.
