Substrate Noise Coupling in Analog/RF Circuits by Stephane Bronckers and Geert Van der Plas

This practical resource offers you detailed guidance on the impact of substrate noise on a wide range of circuits operating from baseband frequencies up to mm-wave frequencies. This unique book presents case studies to illustrate that careful modeling of the assembly characteristics and layout details is required to bring simulations and measurements into agreement. You learn how to use a proper combination of isolation structures and circuit techniques to make analog/RF circuits more immune to substrate noise. Read More

Moreover, the book features numerous exercise problems at the end of each chapter to ensure a solid understanding of the material. Read More

Human-Centered Information Fusion by David L. Hall, The Pennsylvania State University

Information fusion refers to the merging of information from disparate sources with differing conceptual, contextual and typographical representations. Rather than focusing on traditional data fusion applications which have been mainly concerned with physical military targets, this unique resource explores new human-centered trends, such as locations, identity, and interactions of individuals and groups (social networks). Moreover, the book discusses two new major sources of information: human observations and web-based information.

This cutting-edge volume presents a new view of multi-sensor data fusion that seeks to address these new developments, explicitly considering the active role of a human user/analyst. Professionals become knowledgeable about the key inputs into this innovative information fusion process, including traditional sensing resources (S-space), dynamic communities of human observers (H-space), and resources such as archived sensor data, blogs, and dynamic news reports from citizen reporters via the Internet (I-space).

Writing the book Understanding SIP Servlets 1.1 was really an easy decision for Kristoffer and I. We have both worked in SIP Servlet technology since the conception of the original SIP Servlet 1.0 specification in 2003 and have been engrossed in the technologies development since. We have seen major companies include the technology in their main product portfolios and also small, agile companies muscle their way into the game. When the Java Specification Request (JSR) 289 group was formed to create SIP Servlet 1.1 it brought together a great bunch of people to build onto an already successful technology. Whilst at one of the expert group meetings it became obvious that a book which would act as a companion to the specification was a really good idea. Not only would it serve as a great piece of complimentary text to help promote the technology but would also provide real world examples and code snippets to illustrate the technology being used. It's true to say that not all followers of technology are interested in reading through technical specifications. Its also true to say that the readers of core technical specifications like to see supplementary information and real world examples of the technology. Understanding SIP Servlets 1.1 provides reference material that appeals to a range of readers from the low level technical developer to the product marketer. Read More
