Sensors are points ofcontact betweenthe material world ofatoms, mass, andenergy and the seemingly immaterial world of information, computation, and cognition. Linking these two domains more tightly yields all sorts of practical benefits, such as improvedinputdevicesforcomputers,moreeffectivemedicald ...

Identification is pervasive nowadays in daily life due to many complicated activities such as bank and library card reading, asset tracking, toll collecting, restricted access to sensitive data and procedures and target identification. This kind of task can be realized by passwords, bio- metric data ...

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 ...

This book is about global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), their two main instru- ments, which are a receiver and a simulator, and their applications. The book is based on an operational off-the-shelf real-time software GNSS receiver and off-the-shelf GNSS signalsimulator.Theacademicversionsofth ...

The purpose of this book is to help anyone involved in small-scale geophys- ical surveys. It is not a textbook in the traditional sense, in that it is designed for use in the field and concerns itself with practical matters – with the- ory taking second place. Where theory determines field practice ...

The purpose of this book is to present detailed fundamental information on a global positioning system (GPS) receiver. Although GPS receivers are popu- larly used in every-day life, their operation principles cannot be easily found in one book. Most other types of receivers process the input signals ...

This book is intended for researchers, teachers, and students willing to ex- plore conceptual bridges between the fields of Automatic Control and Power Electronics. The need to bring the two disciplines closer has been felt, for many years, both by Power Electronics specialists and by Automatic Cont ...

There exist two essentially different approaches to the study of dynamical systems, based on the following distinction: time-continuous nonlinear differential equations ⇋ time-discrete maps One approach starts from time-continuous differential equations and leads to time-discrete maps, which are ob ...

This book  is  an outgrowth of a course developed at Stanford University over the past  five  years. It  is  suitable as a self-contained textbook for second-level undergraduates  or  for first-level graduate students in almost every field that employs quantit ...
