This book gives a state-of-the-art overview by internationally-recognized researchers of the electronic device architectures required for the NanoCMOS era and beyond. Challenges relevant to the scaling of CMOS Nanoelectronics are addressed through the different Core CMOS and Memory Devices options in the first part of the book. The second part reviews the New device Concepts for Nanoelectronics Beyond CMOS. What are the fundamental limits of core CMOS, and can we improve the scaling by the introduction of new materials or processes? Will the new architectures using SOI, multigates, or multichannels improve the trade-off between performance and power consumption and relax the constraints of new material integration? Can quantum computing replace binary-based protocols to enhance the information processing power? These questions and others are answered in this book.

Making Things Talk: Practical Methods for Connecting Physical Objects

Making Things Talk: Practical Methods for Connecting Physical Objects

Tom Igoe "Making Things Talk: Practical Methods for Connecting Physical Objects"

ISBN 0596510519 | Make Books | September 2007 | 428 pages | PDF | English | 62 MB


Building electronic projects that interact with the physical world is good fun. But when devices that you've built start to talk to each other, things really start to get interesting. Through a series of simple projects, you'll learn how to get your creations to communicate with one another by forming networks of smart devices that carry on conversations with you and your environment. Whether you need to plug some sensors in your home to the Internet or create a device that can interact wirelessly with other creations, Making Things Talk explains exactly what you need.



This book is perfect for people with little technical training but a lot of interest. Maybe you're a science teacher who wants to show students how to monitor weather conditions at several locations at once, or a sculptor who wants to stage a room of choreographed mechanical sculptures. Making Things Talk demonstrates that once you figure out how objects communicate -- whether they're microcontroller-powered devices, email programs, or networked databases -- you can get them to interact.



Each chapter in contains instructions on how to build working projects that help you do just that. You will:



Make your pet's bed send you email

Make your own seesaw game controller that communicates over the Internet

Learn how to use ZigBee and Bluetooth radios to transmit sensor data wirelessly

Set up communication between microcontrollers, personal computers, and web servers using three easy-to-program, open source environments: Arduino/Wiring, Processing, and PHP.

Write programs to send data across the Internet based on physical activity in your home, office, or backyard

And much more



With a little electronics know-how, basic (not necessarily in BASIC) programming skills, a couple of inexpensive microcontroller kits and some network modules to make them communicate using Ethernet, ZigBee, and Bluetooth, you can get started on these projects right away. With Making Things Talk, the possibilities are practically endless.

The revision of this well-known one-semester machines text reflects today's technology by rearranging topical coverage. Following introductory chapters 1-3, AC material is presented first. However, because of the modular approach of the text, either AC or DC material may be covered depending upon course needs. MATLAB has been incorporated throughout the text, both in examples and problems. More design exercises are incorporated, per ABET recommendations. Solid-state power electronics (Chap. 3) has been modified, and solid-state motor controls (Chaps. 6, 9, & 10) will be covered in greater detail
