This is a book for first-time robot builders, advanced builders wanting to know more about programming robots and students in Further and Higher Education tackling microcontroller-based practical work. They will all find this book a unique and exciting source of projects, ideas and techniques, to be combined into a wide range of fascinating robots.

Digital Design and Computer Architecture is designed for courses that combine digital logic design with computer organization/architecture or that teach these subjects as a two-course sequence. Digital Design and Computer Architecture begins with a modern approach by rigorously covering the fundamentals of digital logic design and then introducing Hardware Description Languages (HDLs). Featuring examples of the two most widely-used HDLs, VHDL and Verilog, the first half of the text prepares the reader for what follows in the second: the design of a MIPS Processor. By the end of Digital Design and Computer Architecture, readers will be able to build their own microprocessor and will have a top-to-bottom understanding of how it works--even if they have no formal background in design or architecture beyond an introductory class. David Harris and Sarah Harris combine an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach to digital design.

Buildings are responsible for 50% of C02 emissions and their design has become the focus of intense technical scrutiny. Knowing how to build more technically efficient, or more ecologically and being able to assemble the social resources to do so requires different forms of knowledge and practice. There is wide contestation over the optimal pathyways to greener buildings design and great diversity in practices of sustainable architecture.

Vegan Cookbook.

Fundamentals of Digital Logic and Microcomputer Design, has long been hailed for its clear and simple presentation of the principles and basic tools required to design typical digital systems such as microcomputers. In this Fifth Edition, the author focuses on computer design at three levels: the device level, the logic level, and the system level. Basic topics are covered, such as number systems and Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential logic design, as well as more advanced subjects such as assembly language programming and microprocessor-based system design. Numerous examples are provided throughout the text.

The focus of “Wordpress Theme Design” is to provide a comprehensive guide on how to create a professional Wordpress theme from the design process to search engine optimization (SEO) and after reading the book I can say it does more than that. It’s basically a compressed version of the Wordpress Codex .

Book description
Well before Ajax and Windows Presentation Foundation, Macromedia Flash provided the first method for building rich web pages. Now, Adobe is making Flash a full-fledged development environment, and learning ActionScript 3.0 is key. That s a challenge for even the most experienced Flash developer. This Cookbook offers more than 300 solutions to solve a wide range of coding dilemmas, so you can learn to work with the new version right away.

A practical book written for engineers who design and use antennas
The author has many years of hands on experience designing antennas that were used in such applications as the Venus and Mars missions of NASA
The book covers all important topics of modern antenna design for communications
Numerical methods will be included but only as much as are needed for practical applications
From the Back Cover
Learn hands-on antenna design from a leading expert
Modern Antenna Design, Second Edition continues the practical approach that marked the popular first edition by distilling theory to the essentials of antenna design without becoming buried in mathematics. Written by an expert antenna designer whose designs have been used on NASA missions to explore Mars and Venus, the book emphasizes and demonstrates real-world applications across a variety of fields, including telecommunications, remote sensing, and broadcasting.

Цикл "Я - робот" давно стал классикой научной фантастики. Здесь Азимов впервые сформулировал свои знаменитые "законы робототехники" и представил в форме занимательного повествования проблемы, встающие перед человеком с созданием искусственного интеллекта.

This book teaches readers how to systematically design efficient, portable, and scalable Register Transfer Level (RTL) digital circuits using the VHDL hardware description language and synthesis software. Focusing on the module-level design, which is composed of functional units, routing circuit, and storage, the book illustrates the relationship between the VHDL constructs and the underlying hardware components, and shows how to develop codes that faithfully reflect the module-level design and can be synthesized into efficient gate-level implementation.

Никто не расскажет о роботах лучше и увлекательнее, чем Айзек Азимов, писатель-фантаст мирового уровня, лауреат самых престижных жанровых премий, включая звание Грандмастера! "Я, робот" - это собранные под одним переплетом знаменитые рассказы, которые можно смело назвать классикой высшей пробы. Их читали и перечитывали наши отцы, читаем мы, будут перечитывать наши дети, потому что классика живет вечно.

Origami novices will appreciate the organization of the book, which begins with basic techniques and progresses to deep and powerful tools for design, all based on simple, intuitive concepts like grafting, circle packing, and assembly of tiles.

Каждому человеку по роботу! Еще полвека назад это изречение сочли бы шуткой, но оглянитесь вокруг, сегодня роботы — это наша реальность! Мир движется и меняется во многом благодаря научно-технической революции. Сегодня уже можно завести робота-домработника, а завтра у Вас появится друг-андроид.

Книга содержит материал о центробежных насосах. Designed to help mechanical engineers entering the industry with little practical experience of pumps and their problems, this guide aims to build up an understanding of the design, operation and appropriate use of pumps, plus how to diagnose faults and put them right.

Господин Клемпнер, писатель, получает большой ящик, в котором оказывается робот, собирающийся стать верным слугой. Клемпнер не заказывал робота и не очень-то хочет иметь его в доме, но не в силах протистоять роботовой настойчивости. И вот механический слуга начинает действовать...
