Introduction to Sensors for Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

Introduction to Sensors for Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

Sensors are all around us. They are in phones cars planes trains robots mils lathes packaging lines chemical plants power plants etc. Modern technology could not exist without sensors. The sensors measure what we need to know and the control system then performs the desired actions. When an engineer builds any machine he or she needs to have basic understanding about sensors. Correct sensors need to be selected for the design right from the start. The designer needs to think about the ranges required accuracy sensor cost wiring correct installation and placement etc. Without the basic knowledge of sensors fundamental no machine can be built successfully today. The objective of this book is to provide the basic knowledge to electrical and mechanical engineers engineering students and hobbyist from the field of sensors to help them with the selection of “proper” sensors for their designs. No background knowledge in electrical engineering is required all the necessary basics are provided. The book explains how a sensor works in what ranges it can be used with what accuracy etc. It also provides examples of industrial application for selected sensors. The book covers all the major variables in mechanical engineering such as temperature force torque pressure humidity position speed acceleration etc. The approach is always as follows: - Explain how the sensor works what is the principle - Explain in what ranges and with what accuracy it can work - Describe its properties with charts eventually equations - Give examples of such sensors including application examples | Introduction to Sensors for Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

AI for the Sustainable Development Goals

AI for the Sustainable Development Goals

What is artificial intelligence? What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? How does AI affect the SDGs? Artificial Intelligence has a real impact on our lives and on our environment and the Sustainable Development Goals enable us to evaluate these impacts in a systematic manner. This book shows that doing so requires us to understand the context of AI – the infrastructure it is built on who develops it who owns it who has access to it who uses it and what it is used for – rather than relying on an isolationist theory of technology. By doing so we can analyze not only the direct effects of AI on sustainability but also the indirect – or second-order – effects. AI for the Sustainable Development Goals shows how AI potentially affects all SDGs – both positively and negatively.

AI for Scientific Discovery

AI for Scientific Discovery

AI for Scientific Discovery provides an accessible introduction to the wide-ranging applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in scientific research and discovery across the full breadth of scientific disciplines. AI technologies support discovery science in multiple ways. They support literature management and synthesis allowing the wealth of what has already been discovered and reported on to be integrated and easily accessed. They play a central role in data analysis and interpretation in the context of what is called ‘data science’. AI is also helping to combat the reproducibility crisis in scientific research by underpinning the discovery process with AI-enabled standards and pipelines and supporting the management of large-scale data and knowledge resources so that they can be shared and integrated and serve as a background ‘knowledge ecosystem’ into which new discoveries can be embedded. However there are limitations to what AI can achieve and its outputs can be biased and confounded and thus should not be blindly trusted. The latest generation of hybrid and ‘human-in-the-loop’ AI technologies have as their objective a balance between human inputs and insights and the power of number-crunching and statistical inference at a massive scale that AI technologies are best at.

AI for Learning

AI for Learning

What is artificial intelligence (AI)? How can AI help a learner a teacher or a system designer? What are the positive impacts of AI on human learning? AI for Learning examines how artificial intelligence can and should positively impact human learning whether it be in formal or informal educational and training contexts. The notion of ‘can’ is bound up with ongoing technological developments. The notion of ‘should’ is bound up with an ethical stance that recognises the complementary capabilities of human and artificial intelligence as well as the objectives of doing good not doing harm increasing justice and maintaining fairness. The book considers the different supporting roles that can help a learner – from AI as a tutor and learning aid to AI as a classroom moderator among others – and examines both the opportunities and risks associated with each.

Cyber Careers The Basics of Information Technology and Deciding on a Career Path

Cyber Careers The Basics of Information Technology and Deciding on a Career Path

The approach taken in this book emphasizes the basics of information technology and helps students decide whether to pursue an information technology career. Most students fail to pursue an IT career because of their limited knowledge (sometimes no knowledge) about the area. Similarly most students pursuing a career in IT do not research the field before their pursuit. This book is purposely designed for students in this category. The book may be offered as a required text for an elective or core course to all bachelor's degree students regardless of specialization. Compared to other textbooks this text guides students pursuing or wanting to pursue an IT degree/career. Most students often begin their study of IT without knowing the outside and inside of the area. Most of these students can change their minds to pursue a different career path after spending several semesters of studies a waste of their time. If students are taught from the onset about what an IT career entails and what it takes to become successful it will significantly help students and not waste their time. This book addresses the issue. | Cyber Careers The Basics of Information Technology and Deciding on a Career Path

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Mechatronics is a mongrel a crossbreed of classic mechanical engineering the relatively young pup of computer science the energetic electrical engineering the pedigree mathematics and the bloodhound of Control Theory. All too many courses in control theory consist of a diet of ‘Everything you could ever need to know about the Laplace Transform’ rather than answering ‘What happens when your servomotor saturates?’ Topics in this book have been selected to answer the questions that the mechatronics student is most likely to raise. That does not mean that the mathematical aspects have been left out far from it. The diet here includes matrices transforms eigenvectors differential equations and even the dreaded z transform. But every effort has been made to relate them to practical experience to make them digestible. They are there for what they can do not to support pages of mathematical rigour that defines their origins. The theme running throughout the book is simulation with simple JavaScript applications that let you experience the dynamics for yourself. There are examples that involve balancing such as a bicycle following a line and a balancing trolley that is similar to a Segway. This can be constructed ‘for real’ with components purchased from the hobby market. | Control Basics for Mechatronics
