The continuous progress in modern power device technology is increasingly supported by power-specific modeling methodologies and dedicated simulation tools. These enable the detailed analysis of operational principles on the the device and on the system level; in particular, they allow the designer ...

For many years prior to the 1970s, engineers designed and built switch mode power supplies (SMPSs) using methods based largely on intuitive and exper- imentally derived techniques. In general, these power supplies were able to achieve their primary goal of high-efficiency power conversion; unfortu- ...

It was the publisher’s idea that I write RFID in the Supply Chain: A Guide to Selection and Implementation . Not only am I editor of Enterprise Inte- gration System , Second Edition Handbook and author of The Complete Book of Middleware , I also had some innovative business process and project mana ...

With the continued growth in the world's population, there is a need to ensure availability of enough food to feed everyone. Advances in science and technology have helped not only to increase food production, but also to reduce food wastage. However, the latter has the potential to be improved to a ...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) and Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are the two key wireless technologies that have diversified applications in the present and the upcoming systems in this area. RFID is a wireless automated recognition technology which is primarily used to recognize objects or ...

With more than two billion terminals in commercial operation world-wide, wire- less and mobile technologies have enabled a first wave of pervasive communication systems and applications. Still, this is only the beginning as wireless technologies such as RFID are currently contemplated with a deploym ...

In this new edition of the book, only minor changes were made to the original nine chapters but three new chapters treat topics of increasing interest to GPS users and equipment developers. One topic, improving the GPS receiver sensi- tivity may extend their operations into buildings, which is becom ...

Of the various applications that satellites have been used for, one of the most promising is that of global positioning. Made possible by Global Navigation Satellite Systems, global positioning enables any user to know his or her exact position on Earth. Nowadays, the only fully functioning system i ...

This reference design describes the design of a 3-phase AC induction vector control drive with position encoder coupled to the motor shaft. It is based on Motorola’s DSP56F805 dedicated motor control device. AC induction motors, which contain a cage, are very popular in variable speed drives. They ...

Simulation is experimentation with models. For system design, research, and edu- cation, simulations must not only construct and modify many different models but also store and access a large volume of results. That is practical only with models programmed on computers [1,2]
