The Designer's Guide to SPICE and Spectre? (The Designer's Guide Book Series)

$87.37, P & P ($0.99) at Textbooksrus $142.34, Free P & P at Amazon See All Retailers

The Designer's Guide to SPICE and Spectre TM is an in-depth guide to circuit simulators from a designer's perspective: the pitfalls of circuit simulation, such as convergence and accuracy problems, are explained in terms a circuit designer is comfortable with. The book gives designers insight into why these problems occur and how to avoid them. It also provides practical advice on how to make many difficult measurements with a circuit simulator, such as loop gain of an op-amp or distortion measurements of such clocked circuits as d-to-a converters and sample-and-hold circuits. Finally, suggestions are given about how to handle difficult classes of circuits, such as oscillators, charge-storage or very large circuits. After reading The Designer's Guide to SPICE and Spectre TM, you will spend less time fighting your simulator and more time exploring, understanding and designing your circuits. Audience: Written for practising analog and mixed-signal circuit designers who are already familiar with the basics of operating SPICE. Useful for anyone who uses a circuit simulator, no matter which, since the focus is on the fundamental characteristics and behavior of circuit simulators in general.

Subfiles in RPG IV : Rules, Examples, Techniques, and Other Cool Stuff

$76.63, Free P & P at DeepDiscount.com $71.10, Free P & P at Amazon See All Retailers

This book begins with easy-to-understand explanations of subfile concepts then goes on to offer a bounty of practical examples, advanced techniques, and other cool stuff never before seen in subfile books. It is a comprehensive resource you will use over and over as you advance from basic subfile usage to gurulike mastery of subfile programming. For each topic, the book offers concepts, explanations, and practical examples you can use as templates for further development. These templates are fully functioning programs that include both DDS and RPG IV code from basic single-page display subfiles to powerful techniques like recursion, data queues, and embedded SQL. As an added bonus, each example is included on an accompanying CD-ROM, ready to copy to your AS/400. Mastering subfiles is often the defining moment in an RPG programmer's career. This book provides you with the concepts, styles, and advanced techniques using RPG IV and ILE that will enable you to become a subfile master in your own right. Upon completion of this book, you will be able to: Understand and use subfiles, manipulate database files using subfiles, display multiple subfiles on a screen, use a window subfile for selection lists, manage cursor placement within a subfile, use CL to send messages to a message subfile, use data queues with subfiles, sort a subfile dynamically using embedded SQL, use subprocedures with subfiles, and use recursive programming techniques to build subfiles.

The Science of Programming (Monographs in Computer Science)

$49.50, Free P & P at Textbooks.com $79.11, Free P & P at Amazon See All Retailers

This is the very first book to discuss the theory and principles of computer programming on the basis of the idea that a proof of correctness and a program should be developed hand in hand. It is built around the method first proposed by Dijkstra in his monograph The Discipline of Programming (1976), involving a "calculus for the derivation of programs." Directing his materials to the computer programmer with at least one year of experience, Gries presents explicit principles behind program development, and then leads the reader through example programs using those principles. Propositions and predicate calculus are presented as a took for the programmer, rather than simply an object of study. The reader should come away with a fresh outlook on programming theory and practice, and the assurance to develop correct programs effectively.

Grid Enabled Remote Instrumentation (Signals and Communication Technology)

$163.93, Free P & P at DeepDiscount.com $135.20, Free P & P at Amazon See All Retailers

Grid architectures, which are viewed as tools for the integration of distributed resources, play a significant role as both managers of computational resources but also as aggregators of measurement instrumentation and pervasive large-scale data acquisition platforms.? The functionality of a grid architecture allows managing, maintaining, and exploiting hetereogeneous instrumentation and acquisition devices in a unifed way by providing standardized interfaces and common work environments to their users.? This result is achieved through the properties of isolation from the physical network and from the peculiarites of the isntrumentation granted by standard middleware together with secure and flexibile mechanisms which seek, access, and aggregate distributed resources.

This book focuses on a number of aspects related to the effective exploitation of remote instrumentation on the grid.? These include middleware architecture, high speed networking in support of grid applications, wireless grid for acquisition devices and sensor networks, quality of service provisioning for real time control, and measurement instrumentation.
