Explaining the Future


Book Description

Will this new technology work to solve the problem its inventors claim it will? Is it likely to succeed? What is the right technical solution for a particular problem? Can we narrow down the options before we invest in development? How do we persuade our colleagues, investors, clients, or readers of our technical reasoning? Whether you're a researcher, a consultant, a venture capitalist, or a technology officer, you may need to be able to answer these questions systematically and with clarity. Most people learn these skills through years of experience. However, they are so basic to a high-level technical career that they should be made explicit and learned up front. Bains provides you with the tools you need to think through how to match new (and old) technologies, materials, and processes with applications. It starts with key questions to ask, goes through the resources you'll need to answer them, and helps you think through who is most (and least) likely to deserve your trust. Next, it talks you through analyzing the information you've gathered in a systematic way. The book includes chapters on audience (and how to tailor your explanation to them), how to make a persuasive and structured technical argument, and how to write this up in a way that is credible and easy to follow. Finally, the book includes a case study: a real worked example that goes from an idea through the twists and turns of the research and analysis process to a final report.




Extreme Fundamentals of Energy


Book Description

The book answers questions about the fundamental nature of energy and how to harness it. The process of power generation is examined, and emerging technologies are explored.




Emerging Trends in Electrical, Electronic and Communications Engineering


Book Description

The book reports on advanced theories and methods in two related engineering fields: electrical and electronic engineering, and communications engineering and computing. It highlights areas of global and growing importance, such as renewable energy, power systems, mobile communications, security and the Internet of Things (IoT). The contributions cover a number of current research issues, including smart grids, photovoltaic systems, wireless power transfer, signal processing, 4G and 5G technologies, IoT applications, mobile cloud computing and many more. Based on the proceedings of the first International Conference on Emerging Trends in Electrical, Electronic and Communications Engineering (ELECOM 2016), held in Voila Bagatelle, Mauritius from November 25 to 27, 2016, the book provides graduate students, researchers and professionals with a snapshot of the state-of-the-art and a source of new ideas for future research and collaborations.




Emerging Technologies & Applications in Electrical Engineering


Book Description

The First International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Applications in Electrical Engineering (ETAEE 2023) was hosted and organized by the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Raipur, held on 21st to 22nd December 2023, with CRC Press, Taylor and Francis as publication partner. ETAEE-2023 aims to emerge as a platform for in-depth discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaborative efforts. The main theme of the conference was “Sustainable Energy Future”. With professionals from academia, industry, and reputable research institutions coming together, the conference underlined the importance of staying at the forefront of technical breakthroughs to ensure a sustainable energy future. The presentations were delivered by participants on various topics such as Renewable Energy, Smart Grid, High Voltage Technologies, Power Electronics and Drives, Electric Transportation Systems, Instrumentation Control, and IoT Applications in Electrical Engineering. Esteemed academicians chaired these sessions, fostering in-depth discussions and knowledge exchange.

Electronic Components and Technology


Book Description

Most introductory textbooks in electronics focus on the theory while leaving the practical aspects to be covered in laboratory courses. However, the sooner such matters are introduced, the better able students will be to include such important concerns as parasitic effects and reliability at the very earliest stages of design. This philosophy has kept Electronic Components and Technology thriving for two decades, and this completely updated third edition continues the approach with a more international outlook. Not only does this textbook introduce the properties, behavior, fabrication, and use of electronic components, it also helps students grasp and apply sound engineering practice by incorporating in-depth discussions on topics such as safety and reliability. The author employs a holistic treatment that clearly demonstrates how electronic components and subsystems work together, reinforcing the concepts with numerous examples, case studies, problems, illustrations, and objectives. This edition was updated to reflect advances and changes to industrial practice, including packaging technologies, digital oscilloscopes, lead-free solders, and new battery technologies. Additionally, the text's scope now extends to include terminology and standards used worldwide. Including coverage of topics often ignored in other textbooks on the subject, Electronic Components and Technology, Third Edition encourages students to be better, more thoughtful designers and prepares them with current industrial practices.
