Ultra-Dense Heterogeneous Networks
by Chao Shen Wen Sun Haibin Zhang Nan Zhao Lawrence Wai-Choong WongDriven by the ever-increasing amount of mobile data, cellular networks evolve from small cell network to ultra-dense heterogeneous networks, to provide high system capacity and spectrum efficiency. By bringing base stations (BSs) to the approximate spatial scale and number magnitude, ultra-dense heterogeneous networks would definitely bring unprecedented paradigm changes to the network design. Firstly, along with densification of small cells, inter-cell interference becomes severe and may deteriorate performance of mobile users. Assigning network resources including bandwidth and time slots, while avoiding interference, desires serious consideration. Secondly, the coverage area of BSs becomes small and irregular, resulting in much frequent and complicated handovers when mobile users move around. How to ensure continuous communication and implement effective mobility management, and inter-cell resource allocation and cooperation, remains a challenging issue. Thirdly, such dynamic change in spatial dimension enables us to re-investigate available and ongoing communications and networking techniques, such as massive MIMO, CoMP, millimeter waves (mmWaves), carrier aggregation, full duplex radio, and D2D communications. To address the aforementioned challenging research issues, this book will investigate the service and QoE provisioning in ultra-dense heterogeneous networks. In particular, firstly we introduce ultra-dense heterogeneous networks by careful definition regarding spatial deployment, generic characteristics, and requirements of ultra-dense heterogeneous networks in order to ensure QoE of mobile users. Secondly, we depict the resource management among small cells in close proximity, mobility management for mobile users (address the super-frequent handovers), and interference management (dealing with the interference due to frequency-reuse in the vicinity). Thirdly, we study the enabling factors, and the integration of ultra-dense heterogeneous networks with enabling technologies, such as massive-MIMO, cloud-RAN, mmWaves, D2D, IoT. Finally, we conclude the book and indicate future directions and challenges.

Ultrasonic Fluid Quantity Measurement in Dynamic Vehicular Applications
by Edin Terzic Romesh Nagarajah Muhammad Alamgir Jenny TerzicAccurate fluid level measurement in dynamic environments can be assessed using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach. SVM is a supervised learning model that analyzes and recognizes patterns. It is a signal classification technique which has far greater accuracy than conventional signal averaging methods. Ultrasonic Fluid Quantity Measurement in Dynamic Vehicular Applications: A Support Vector Machine Approach describes the research and development of a fluid level measurement system for dynamic environments. The measurement system is based on a single ultrasonic sensor. A Support Vector Machines (SVM) based signal characterization and processing system has been developed to compensate for the effects of slosh and temperature variation in fluid level measurement systems used in dynamic environments including automotive applications. It has been demonstrated that a simple ν-SVM model with Radial Basis Function (RBF) Kernel with the inclusion of a Moving Median filter could be used to achieve the high levels of accuracy required for fluid level measurement in dynamic environments. Aimed toward graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and engineers studying applications of artificial intelligence, readers will learn about a measurement system that is based on a single ultrasonic sensor which can achieve the high levels of accuracy required for fluid level measurement in dynamic environments.
Ultrasound Mid-Air Haptics for Touchless Interfaces (Human–Computer Interaction Series)
by Claudio Pacchierotti Orestis Georgiou William Frier Euan Freeman Takayuki HoshiOver the last decade, ultrasound mid-air haptic technology has emerged and rapidly advanced to engage multidisciplinary scientific communities within and adjacent to the haptics and HCI fields. Additionally, this haptic technology has been adopted by a number of industry sectors (e.g., automotive, virtual reality, digital signage, neuroscience research) who appear keen to exploit its unique value proposition: the ability to deliver rich haptic sensations from a distance, without the need to touch, wear or hold anything in order to enhance touchless interfaces, novel applications, and experiences.This book is the first, and currently the only one, that provides a comprehensive description of the technology, encapsulating almost all aspects relating to electronic prototyping, acoustics, haptics, psychology and perception, user experience and end-user HCI applications. Through its 18 chapters written by 30 expert co-authors, this book is therefore an excellent introduction to the technology for anyone coming from any of those fields. Specifically, the reader will benefit by getting a unique and multi-dimensional perspective on the state-of-the-art of this enabling haptic technology while also understanding its history, relevant best research practices, and an overview of the various open challenges and opportunities.

Umformtechnische Herstellung komplexer Karosserieteile: Auslegung von Ziehanlagen
by Arndt Birkert Stefan Haage Markus StraubAn komplexe Karosserie-Blechformteile werden seitens der Automobilindustrie allerhöchste Anforderungen hinsichtlich Funktionalität und Oberflächenqualität gestellt. Um diese Anforderungen zu erfüllen, wird ein entsprechender Methodenplan entwickelt. Das geplante Werk führt zunächst in Grundlagen von Karosseriebau, Umform- und Werkstofftechnik, Werkzeugtechnik und Pressentechnik ein, soweit diese für die Herstellung von Karosserieteilen relevant sind. Auf Basis dieser Grundlagen wird im Hauptteil die Thematik der Methodenplanung behandelt, wobei der komplexe Planungsprozess zunächst auf ein sequentielles Gedankenmodell herunter gebrochen wird. Schließlich wird anhand von Praxisbeispielen aufgezeigt, wie die zuvor sequentiell behandelten Planungsschritte zum Teil gleichzeitig, zum Teil nacheinander in mehreren Iterationsschleifen in der Praxis abgearbeitet werden. Bei allen Ausführungen steht stets die Erfüllung der qualitätsmäßigen Anforderungen, die heute an moderne Karosserieteile gestellt werden, im Vordergrund.

Un día cualquera en 2100
by Michio Kaku¿Nunca te has preguntado cómo será el siglo XXII? ¿Qué pasará cuando la gente corriente despierte el 1 de enero de 2100? Michio Kaku te ofrece un ensayo relatado que te dará unas cuantas pistas sobre lo que será la vida en la Tierra (y fuera de ella) el próximo siglo. «La humanidad es como un ser cuyos brazos se alargan hasta tocar las estrellas, y cuyos pies están atascados en el barro. Por una parte, este siglo verá una nueva era de exploración espacial robótica, porque enviaremos satélites cuya misión será localizar en el espacio planetas gemelos de la Tierra, explorar las lunas de Júpiter, e incluso tomar imágenes del propio big bang. Sin embargo, la exploración del espacio exterior mediante naves tripuladas, que ha cautivado a muchas generaciones de soñadores y visionarios, será causa de algunos disgustos.»
