Analog computing is one of the main pillars of Unconventional Computing. Almost forgotten for decades, we now see an ever-increasing interest in electronic analog computing because it offers a path to high-performance and highly energy-efficient computing. These characteristics are of great importance in a world where vast amounts of electric energy are consumed by today’s computer systems. Analog computing can deliver efficient solutions to many computing problems, ranging from general purpose analog computation to specialised systems like analog artificial neural networks. The book “Analog Computing” has established itself over the past decade as the standard textbook on the subject and has been substantially extended in this second edition, which includes more than 300 additional bibliographical entries, and has been expanded in many areas to include much greater detail. These enhancements will confirm this book’s status as the leading work in the field. It covers the history of analog computing from the Antikythera Mechanism to recent electronic analog computers and uses a wide variety of worked examples to provide a comprehensive introduction to programming analog computers. It also describes hybrid computers, digital differential analysers, the simulation of analog computers, stochastic computers, and provides a comprehensive treatment of classic and current analog computer applications. The last chapter looks into the promising future of analog computing.
Extrusion and Size Change Processes in the Food Industry
Extrusion and Size Change Processes in the Food Industry, a volume in the Unit Operations and Processing Equipment in the Food Industry series, details the necessary processing operations and equipment for extruding various food products, including cereal-based items, confectionary, and protein-based foods. The book is divided into three sections: extrusion operations, size reduction processes, and size enlargement techniques, with each presenting fundamental content relating to experimental, theoretical, computational, and practical applications of food engineering principles and relevant processing equipment.Written by food engineering experts in a straightforward and engaging manner, this book targets industrial engineers involved in food processing and manufacturing. The aim is to familiarize them with specific food processing operations and equipment. Each chapter emphasizes practical applications of food engineering principles, making it a valuable resource for those in the food industry. By providing comprehensive insights into extrusion and size change unit operations, the book serves as an essential guide for optimizing food production processes and ensuring efficient use of equipment. - Explores novel applications of extrusion and size change unit operations in food industries - Covers the extrusion and size change of different food ingredients - Presents extrusion of various food ingredients and products, including cereal based products, snacks, confectionary, and protein based products
Mechatronics for Complex Products and Systems
A project-based approach to designing mechatronic systems with new and emerging technologies In Mechatronics for Complex Products and Systems: Project-Based Designs for Cyber-Physical Systems, Digital Twins, and Other Emerging Technologies, distinguished researcher Dr. Zhuming Bi delivers an expert discussion of real-world mechatronics skills that students will need in their engineering careers. The book explains the characteristics and innovation principles underlying mechatronic systems, including modularization, adaptability, predictability, sustainability, and concurrent engineering. A mechatronic system is decomposed into a set of mechatronic functional modules such as power systems, actuating systems, sensing systems, systems of signal conditioning and processing, and control systems. The author also offers: A thorough introduction from classic integration of mechanical, electronic and electrical systems to more complex products and systems, including cyber-physical systems, robotics, human-robot interactions, digital twins, and Internet of Things applications Insightful project assignments that help reinforce a practical understanding of a learning subject Practical discussions of real-world engineering problems Comprehensive guidance on how to select the right type of sensors, motors, and controllers for a variety of mechatronic functional modules Perfect for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mechatronics, Mechatronics for Complex Products and Systems will also benefit professional engineers working on interdisciplinary projects enabled by digital technologies, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
