Smart Power ICs
This book provides a survey of the state of the art of technology and future trends in the new family of Smart Power ICs and describes design and applications in a variety of fields ranging from automotive to telecommunications, reliability evaluation and qualification procedures. The book is a valuable source of information and reference for both power IC design specialists and to all those concerned with applications, the development of digital circuits and with system architecture.
Design as Art
"Munari insisted that design be beautiful, functional and accessible, and this...book sets out his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects we use every day. [Includes designs on] lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children's books, advertising, cars and chairs." -- Book Jacket.
To Infinity and Beyond
Eli Maor examines the role of infinity in mathematics and geometry and its cultural impact on the arts and sciences. He evokes the profound intellectual impact the infinite has exercised on the human mind, from the "horror infiniti" of the Greeks to the works of M.C. Escher; from the ornamental designs of the Moslems, to the sage Giordano Bruno, whose belief in an infinite universe led to his death at the hands of the Inquisition. But above all, the book describes the mathematician's fascination with infinity, a fascination mingled with puzzlement. "Maor explores the idea of infinity in mathematics and in art and argues that this is the point of contact between the two, best exemplified by the work of the Dutch artist M.C. Escher, six of whose works are shown here in beautiful color plates."--Los Angeles Times "[Eli Maor's] enthusiasm for the topic carries the reader through a rich panorama." Choice "Fascinating and enjoyable.... places the ideas of infinity in a cultural context and shows how they have been espoused and molded by mathematics."-Science.
Analog Circuit Design
This volume of Analog Circuit Design concentrates on three topics: Low-Power Low-Voltage Design; Integrated Filters, and Smart Power. The book comprises six papers on each topic written by internationally recognised experts. These papers have a tutorial nature aimed at improving the design of analog circuits. The book is divided into three parts: Part I, Low-Power Low-Voltage Design, describes the latest techniques for producing analog circuits with low-voltage low-power requirements. These circuits have an important role to play in the increasing trend towards portable products, where battery life is an important design factor. The papers cover design techniques for amplifiers, analog-to-di...
Design Driven Innovation
Until now, the literature on innovation has focused either on radical innovation pushed by technology or incremental innovation pulled by the market. In Design-Driven Innovation: How to Compete by Radically Innovating the Meaning of Products, Roberto Verganti introduces a third strategy, a radical shift in perspective that introduces a bold new way of competing. Design-driven innovations do not come from the market; they create new markets. They don't push new technologies; they push new meanings. It's about having a vision, and taking that vision to your customers. Think of game-changers like Nintendo's Wii or Apple's iPod. They overturned our understanding of what a video game means and ho...
Bruno Munari
In 1979 the fanciful Italian artist and designer Bruno Munari donated part of his personal archive to the Center for the Study of Archives and Communication in Parma--a sort of encyclopedic collection of solutions for possible answers. From early drawings for his abstract paintings of the 1930s, to the Negative-Positive works, to graphic sketches for publishing projects, to original editions of his games, this volume collects projects from across Munari's career, many of them previously unpublished. From the Bauhaus to Piaget's psychological theories, Munari assimilated many visual and conceptual trends of the twentieth century, reproposing them in new, highly creative and playful ways. Featuring more than 500 images, this volume contains essays, an interview and a bibliography of the most important publications on Munari's works.
Drawing a Tree
For Drawing a Tree, Bruno Munari proposes: "When drawing a tree, always remember that every branch is more slender than the one that came before. Also note that the trunk splits into two branches, then those branches split in two, then those in two, and so on, and so on, until you have a full tree, be it straight, squiggly, curved up, curved down, or bent sideways by the wind."
