Mechatronics

This book outlines key emerging trends in information security from the foundations and technologies in biometrics, cybersecurity, and big data security to applications in hardware and embedded systems security, computer forensics, the Internet of Things security, and network security.

This engaging work provides a concise introduction to the exciting world of computing, encompassing the theory, technology, history, and societal impact of computer software and computing devices. Spanning topics from global conflict to home gaming, international business, and human communication, this text reviews the key concepts unpinning the technology which has shaped the modern world.

Blending traditional mechanical engineering material with computer science and control theoretical concepts, the text covers a range of topics, including rigid-body transformations, forward and inverse positional kinematics, velocities and Jacobians of linkages, dynamics, linear and non-linear control, force control methodologies, mechanical design aspects, and robotic programming.

This book is a collection of papers presented at the IX International Scientific and Technical Conference on Engineering - Innovation Technologies in Engineering: from Design to Production of Competitive Products. The topics covered include monitoring and assembly technologies, quality management, and advanced techniques in blank processing.

Design pervades our lives. Everything from drafting a PowerPoint presentation to planning a state-of-the-art bridge embodies this universal human activity. But what makes a great design? In this compelling and wide-ranging look at the essence of invention, distinguished engineer and author Henry Petroski argues that, time and again, we have built success on the back of failure—not through easy imitation of success.

During the last decade, mechatronic systems have been found in many things and many experiences of our everyday lives. The word mechatronics was first used by the engineer Tetsuro Mori in Japan in 1969. Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary area of study combining mechanics, electronics, computers and automation. A synergistic collaboration among these fields of science involves a high potential for accomplishments and achievements now accessible to a wide variety of engineers. Mechatronic Systems: Design, Performance and Applications is a source of the latest research and technical notes in mechatronics. This book is useful for students, researchers, and all readers interested in this topic.

A foolproof walkthrough of must-know computer science concepts. A fast guide for those who don't need the academic formality, it goes straight to what differentiates pros from amateurs. First introducing discrete mathematics, then exposing the most common algorithm and data structure design elements, and finally the working principles of computers and programming languages, the book is indicated to all programmers.
