CONTROL & LEARNING IN ROBOTIC SYSTEMS
[John X Liu (ed)]
Robotics began as a science fiction creation which has become quite real, first in assembly line operations such as automobile manufacturing, aeroplane construction etc. They have now reached such areas as the internet, ever-multiplying-medical uses and sophisticated military applications. Control of today’s robots is often remote which requires even more advanced computer vision capabilities as well as sensors and interface techniques. Learning has become crucial for modern robotic systems as well. This new book deals with control and learning in robotic systems.

INTERFERENCE POTENTIAL OF ULTRAWIDEBAND SIGNALS
[Michael Cotton, Robert Achatz, Jeffery Wepman & Brent Bedford]
The purpose of this book is to provide data needed to predict the interference potential of various UWB signals. The results will be useful for regulatory agencies that are currently charged with defining UWB emission limits and corresponding compliance measurement procedures. They will also be useful to the ultrawideband communications industry, which will only thrive if compliance measurement procedures fairly evaluate interference potential of all UWB signals. The approach is to inject carefully characterised interference into an operating narrow-band receiver and measure susceptibility of the receiver with precisely defined signal quality metrics. Data is then analysed to determine if there are common signal characteristics that predict interference potential. The victim receiver chosen for this interference susceptibility test is C-band satellite digital television (DTV). This receiver demodulates signals transmitted in the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz frequency range, which lies within the band allocated for UWB devices. The authors chose to generate the satellite signal in the laboratory rather than use an unpredictable live signal, to generate interference signals with a vector signal generator rather than rely solely on prototype devices, and to perform signal and system characterisation measurements primarily with the vector signal analyser to provide comprehensive data capable of being post-processed in many ways.

MICROCONTROLLER BASICS
[Burkhard Kainka]
Microcontrollers have become an indispensable part of modern electronics. They make things possible that vastly exceed what could be done previously. Innumerable applications show that almost nothing is impossible. There’s thus every reason to learn more about them, but that raises the question of where to find a good introduction to this fascinating technology. The answer is easy: this Microcontroller Basics book, combined with the 89S8252 Flash Board project published by Elektor Electronics. However, this book offers more than just a basic introduction. It clearly explains the technology using various microcontroller circuits and programs written in several different programming languages. Three microcontrollers from the 8051 family are used in the sample applications, ranging from the simple 89C2051 to the AN2131, which is designed to support USB applications. The programming tools include assemblers, Basic-52 and BASCOM-51, and several C compilers. Every reader can thus find the programming environment most suitable to his or her needs. In the course of the book, the reader gradually develops increased competence in converting his or her ideas into microcontroller circuitry. All of the sample programs can be downloaded from the Elektor Electronics website. That has the added advantage that the latest versions are always available.

MOBILE MULTIMEDIA
: A Communication Engineering Perspective
[Ismail K Ibrahim & David Taniar (eds)]
Mobile Multimedia is defined as a set of protocols and standards for multimedia information exchange over wireless networks. Therefore the book is organised into four parts. The introduction part, which consists of two chapters introduces the readers to the basic ideas behind mobility management and provides the business and technical drivers, which initiated the mobile multimedia revolution. Part two, which consists of six chapters, explains the enabling technologies for mobile multimedia with respect to data communication protocols and standards. Part three contains two chapters and is dedicated for how information can be retrieved over wireless networks whether it is voice, text, or multimedia information. Part four with its four chapters will clarify in a simple a self-implemented way how scarce resources can be managed and how system performance can be evaluated.

NEW FRONTIERS IN SUPERCONDUCTIVITY RESEARCH
[Barry P Martins (ed)]
Superconductivity is the ability of certain materials to conduct electrical current with no resistance and extremely low losses. High temperature superconductors, such as La2-xSrxCuOx (Tc=40K) and YBa2Cu3O7-x (Tc=90K), were discovered in 1987 and have been actively studied since. In spite of an intense, world-wide, research effort during this time, a complete understanding of the copper oxide (cuprate) materials is still lacking. Many fundamental questions are unanswered, particularly the mechanism by which high-Tc superconductivity occurs. More broadly, the cuprates are in a class of solids with strong electron-electron interactions. An understanding of such "strongly correlated" solids is perhaps the major unsolved problem of condensed matter physics with over ten thousand researchers working on this topic.

Many universities, research institutes and companies are working to develop high-Tc superconductivity applications and considerable progress has been made.

REAL-WORLD MULTI-OBJECTIVE SYSTEM ENGINEERING
[Nadia Nedjah & Luiza de Macedo Mourelle (eds)]
Real-world engineering problems often require concurrent optimisation of several design objectives, which are conflicting in most of the cases. Such an optimisation is generally called multi-objective or multi-criterion optimisation. The area of research that applies evolutionary methodologies to multi-objective optimisation is of special and growing interest. It brings a solution to many yet-opened real-world problems and questions. Generally, multi-objective engineering problems have no single optimal design, but several solutions of equal efficiency allowing different trade-offs. The decision maker's preferences are normally used to select the most adequate design. Such preferences may be dictated before or after the optimisation takes place. They may also be introduced interactively at different levels of the optimisation process. Multi-objective optimisation methods can be subdivided into classical and evolutionary. The classical methods usually aim at a single solution while the evolutionary methods target a whole set of so-called Pareto-optimal solutions. The aim of this book is to provide a representation of the state-of-the-art of the evolutionary multi-objective optimisation research area and related new trends. Furthermore, it reports many innovative designs yielded by the application of such optimisation methods. The contents of the book are divided into two main parts: evolutionary multi-objective optimisation and evolutionary multi-objective designs.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS ISSUES & DEVELOPMENTS
[James N Kenyard (ed)]
Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication. In modern times, this process almost always involves the sending of electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters. Telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the television, radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world. There is also a vast array of networks that connect these devices, including computer networks, public telephone networks, radio networks and television networks. Computer communication across the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging, is just one of many examples of telecommunication. This new book presents important issues and policies in the field.

TRENDS IN SUPERCONDUCTIVITY RESEARCH
[Paul S Lewis (ed)]
Superconductivity is the ability of certain materials to conduct electrical current with no resistance and extremely low losses. High temperature superconductors, such as La2-xSrxCuOx (Tc=40K) and YBa2Cu3O7-x (Tc=90K), were discovered in 1987 and have been actively studied since. In spite of an intense, world-wide, research effort during this time, a complete understanding of the copper oxide (cuprate) materials is still lacking. Many fundamental questions are unanswered, particularly the mechanism by which high-Tc superconductivity occurs. More broadly, the cuprates are in a class of solids with strong electron-electron interactions. An understanding of such 'strongly correlated' solids is perhaps the major unsolved problem of condensed matter physics with over ten thousand researchers working on this topic. High-Tc superconductors also have significant potential for applications in technologies ranging from electric power generation and transmission to digital electronics. This ability to carry large amounts of current can be applied to electric power devices such as motors and generators, and to electricity transmission in power lines. For example, superconductors can carry as much as 100 times the amount of electricity of ordinary copper or aluminum wires of the same size. Many universities, research institutes and companies are working to develop high-Tc superconductivity applications and considerable progress has been made. This new volume brings together new leading-edge research in the field.

USB TOOLBOX CD-ROM
Languages: English, French, German, Dutch. This contains all the essential information a designer needs to start working with the USB interface. It includes a large collection of data sheets for specific USB components from a wide range of manufacturers.There are two ways to incorporate a USB interface in a microcontroller circuit. You can add a USB controller to an existing circuit, or use a microcontroller with an integrated USB interface. Both options are available on this CD-ROM. USB Toolbox provides information on all ICs suitable for different applications. A sub-division has been made in controllers, hubs, microcontrollers and others. What is perhaps more interesting for many designers however, is the extremely extensive software collection which contains drivers, tools and components for Windows, Delphi and various microcontroller families. Of course, none of the Elektor Electronics articles on the subject of USB are missing on this CD-ROM.
