Design & Implementation of Signal Processing Systems New!
Multiple-Base Number System Theory and Applications Vassil Dimitrov and Graham Jullien University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Roberto Muscedere University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada
Computer arithmetic has become so fundamentally embedded into digital design that many engineers are unaware of the many research advances in the area. As a result, they are losing out on emerging opportunities to optimize its use in targeted applications and technologies. In many cases, easily available standard arithmetic hardware might not necessarily be the most efficient implementation strategy. Multiple-Base Number System: Theory and Applications stands apart from the usual books on computer arithmetic with its concentration on the uses and the mathematical operations associated with the recently introduced multiple-base number system (MBNS). The book identifies and explores several diverse and never-before-considered MBNS applications (and their implementation issues) to enhance computation efficiency, specifically in digital signal processing (DSP) and public key cryptography. • Offers flexible and easily applicable ideas for implementing a wide range of cryptographic protocols • Illustrates new and efficient hardware design concepts for DSP engineers, focusing on the new MBNS and associated theory and applications • Presents the latest research in very-highperformance DSP architectures and very efficient computations in cryptography • Provides a large number of challenging mathematical and algorithmic problems
Selected Contents Technology, Applications, and Computation. The Double-Base Number System (DBNS). Implementing DBNS Arithmetic. Multiplier Design Based on DBNS.

Design & Implementation of Signal Processing Systems
Introduction to VLSI Systems A Logic, Circuit, and System Perspective
Discrete Systems and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB® Second Edition
Ming-Bo Lin
Taan S. ElAli
National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei
King Faisal University, Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia
With the advance of semiconductors and ubiquitous computing, the use of system-on-a-chip (SoC) has become an essential technique to reduce product cost. With this progress and continuous reduction of feature sizes, and the development of very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits, addressing the harder problems requires fundamental understanding of circuit and layout design issues. Furthermore, engineers can often develop their physical intuition to estimate the behavior of circuits rapidly without relying predominantly on CAD tools. Introduction to VLSI Systems: A Logic, Circuit, and System Perspective addresses the need for teaching such a topic in terms of a logic, circuit, and system design perspective.
Books on linear systems typically combine coverage of both discrete and continuous systems. However, with coverage of this magnitude, not enough information is presented on either of the two subjects. Discrete linear systems warrant a book of their own, and this text provides just that. It offers in-depth coverage of both discrete linear systems and signal processing in one volume. Firmly rooted in basic mathematical principles, it includes many problems solved first by using analytical tools, then through application of MATLAB®. Each chapter provides examples that illustrate presented theoretical concepts. • Includes additional complete and standalone chapters on IIR and FIR filter design, block diagrams, state-space, sampling and transformations, and a unique chapter on FFT and its many applications • Introduces the reader to many examples using the data acquisition toolbox of MATLAB • Presents tools to design, test, and implement linear digital filters and processors • Provides end-of-chapter examples and problems, as well as concluding insights for almost all chapters • All problems and examples are solved analytically and, when applicable, numerically using the latest version of MATLAB
To achieve the above-mentioned goals, this classroom-tested book focuses on: • Implementing a digital system as a full-custom integrated circuit • Switch logic design and useful paradigms that may apply to various static and dynamic logic families • The fabrication and layout designs of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) VLSI • Important issues of modern CMOS processes, including deep submicron devices, circuit optimization, interconnect modeling and optimization, signal integrity, power integrity, clocking and timing, power dissipation, and ESD Introduction to VLSI Systems builds an understanding of integrated circuits from the bottom up, paying much attention to logic circuit, layout, and system designs. Armed with these tools, readers can not only comprehensively understand the features and limitations of modern VLSI technologies, but also have enough background to adapt to this ever-changing field. Offers two sets of PowerPoint® slides and an instructor’s manual with qualifying course adoption

Design & Implementation of Signal Processing Systems The Digital Signal Processing Handbook
Introduction to Sensors John Vetelino and Aravind Reghu University of Maine, Orono, USA
The need for new types of sensors is more critical than ever. This is due to the emergence of increasingly complex technologies, health and security concerns of a burgeoning world population, and the emergence of terrorist activities, among other factors. Depending on their application, the design, fabrication, testing, and use of sensors all require various kinds of both technical and nontechnical expertise. With this in mind, Introduction to Sensors examines the theoretical foundations and practical applications of electrochemical, piezoelectric, fiber optic, thermal, and magnetic sensors in the modern era. Incorporating information from sensor-based industries to review developments in the field, this book: • Presents a complete sensor system that includes the preparation phase, the sensing element and platform, and appropriate electronics resulting in a digital readout • Discusses solid-state electronic sensors, such as the MOS capacitor, the micromachined capacitive polymer, and the Schottky diode sensors • Uses the two-dimensional hexagonal lattice as an example to detail the basic theory associated with piezoelectricity • Explores the fundamental relationship between stress, strain, electric field, and electric displacement The magnetic sensors presented are used to determine measurands such as the magnetic field and semiconductor properties, including carrier concentration and mobility. Offering the human body and the automobile as examples of entities that rely on a multiplicity of sensors, the authors address the application of various types of sensors, as well as the theory and background information associated with their development and the materials used in their design.

The Image Processing Handbook Sixth Edition John C. Russ North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA
Dr. John C. Russ was the recipient of the 2006 Ernst Abbe Memorial Award of the New York Microscopical Society, for achievements made in the field of microscopy. Whether obtained by microscopes, space probes, or the human eye, the same basic tools can be applied to acquire, process, and analyze the data contained in images. First published in 1992, The Image Processing Handbook, Sixth Edition is ideal for self study, raising the bar once again as the gold-standard reference on this subject. Using extensive new color illustrations and diagrams, this book offers a logically organized exploration of the important relationship between 2D images and the 3D structures they reveal. The author focuses on helping readers visualize and compare processing and measurement operations and how they are typically combined in areas ranging from microscopy and astronomy to real-world scientific, industrial, and forensic applications. Presenting methods in the order in which they would be applied in a typical workflow—from acquisition to interpretation—this book compares a wide range of algorithms used to: • Improve the appearance, printing, and transmission of an image • Prepare images for measurement of the features and structures they reveal • Isolate objects and structures, and measure their size, shape, color, and position • Correct defects and deal with limitations in images • Enhance visual content and interpretation of details • Interpret measurements of structures, using stereological methods • Apply statistical methods for classification and identification This handbook avoids dense mathematics, instead using new practical examples that better convey essential principles of image processing. This approach is more useful to develop readers’ understanding of how and why to apply processing techniques and, ultimately, clarify the mathematical foundations behind them. Going far beyond mere image improvement, this book presents a wide range of powerful example images that illustrate techniques involved in color processing and enhancement. Applying his 50-year experience as a scientist, educator, and industrial consultant, John Russ offers his unparalleled insights and guidance, continuing to make this a must-have reference.

Bio Imaging & Signal Processing
Essentials of Functional MRI Statistics of Medical Imaging Tianhu Lei Statistical investigation into technology not only provides a better understanding of the intrinsic features of the technology (analysis), but also leads to an improved design of the technology (synthesis). Physical principles and mathematical procedures of medical imaging technologies have been extensively studied during past decades. However, less work has been done on their statistical aspect. Filling this gap, this book provides a theoretical framework for statistical investigation into medical technologies. Rather than offer detailed descriptions of statistics of basic imaging protocols of X-ray CT and MRI, the book presents a method to conduct similar statistical investigations into more complicated imaging protocols.

Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering Charles A. Gross and Thaddeus Roppel
Technical Writing A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists Phillip A. Laplante
Auburn University, Alabama, USA
The Pennsylvania State University, Malvern, USA
Real-world engineering problems are rarely, if ever, neatly divided into mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, and other categories. Engineers from all disciplines will eventually encounter computer and electronic controls and instrumentation, which is going to require at least a basic knowledge of electrical and other engineering specialties, as well as associated economics, and environmental, political, and social issues.
Engineers and scientists of all types are often required to write reports, summaries, manuals, guides, and so forth. While these individuals certainly have had some sort of English or writing course, it is less likely that they have had any instruction in the special requirements of technical writing.
Co-authored by Charles Gross—one of the most wellknown and respected professors in the field of electric machines and power engineering—and his worldrenowned colleague Thad Roppel, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering provides an overview of the profession for engineering professionals and students whose specialization lies in areas other than electrical. Simple and easy to use, yet more than sufficient in rigor and coverage of fundamental concepts, this resource teaches EE fundamentals but omits the typical analytical methods that hold little relevance for the audience. The authors provide many examples to illustrate concepts, as well as homework problems to help readers understand and apply presented material.
Filling this void, Technical Writing: A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists enables readers to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media. Written by a renowned engineer and widely published technical author, this guide complements the traditional writer’s reference manuals and other books on technical writing. It helps readers understand the practical considerations in writing technical content. Drawing on his own work, the author presents many first-hand examples of writing, editing, and publishing technical materials. These examples illustrate how a publication originated as well as various challenges and solutions.
Features
In many cases, courses for non-electrical engineers, or non-EEs, have presented watered-down classical EE material, resulting in unpopular courses that students hate and senior faculty members understandingly avoid teaching. To remedy this situation—and create more well-rounded practitioners—the authors focus on the true EE needs of non-EEs, as determined through their own teaching experience, as well as significant input from non-EE faculty. The book provides several important contemporary interdisciplinary examples to support this approach. The result is a fullcolor modern narrative that bridges the various EE and non-EE curricula and serves as a truly relevant course that students and faculty can both enjoy.
• Offers precise, hands-on coverage of technical writing • Complements the traditional writer’s reference manuals and other books on technical writing • Includes a number of personal anecdotes and historical stories that serve as real-world examples of technical writing • Explores the various avenues for publishing your work • Explains how to write for blogs, social networks, and other e-media • Incorporates at least one figure, table, graphic, bullet list, or equation on most pages

Contracts for Engineers Intellectual Property, Standards, and Ethics
Reverse Engineering Technology of Reinvention
Robert D. Hunter
Wego Wang
Robert D. Hunter Associates, Austin, Texas, USA
University of Massachusetts, Lowell, USA
Engineers encounter various forms of contracts at nearly every turn in their careers. This book enhances their ability to communicate contractual issues to lawyers and then better understand the consequent legal advice they receive. The text introduces the related subjects of intellectual property (including patents, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets) and standards (including conformity assessment and accreditation). The author also addresses the role of ethics—at both the micro and macro levels—which recently has been emphasized in response to the collapse of Boston’s Big Dig, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and the coal mine accident that resulted in the many deaths. • Introduces seemingly diverse contract concepts that engineers must understand • Provides background on common law contracts and their relationship to sales contracts in the Uniform Commercial Code • Discusses typical terms of employee agreements, as well as information on government contracts • Explains examples of ethics for both individuals and organizations • Includes a list of key figures and tables
“The topic of this book represents an important technological field that has heretofore been ignored by academics, despite being well accepted in industry. I am delighted by its publication.”
