This book provides actual entrepreneurial stories giving insight into the pitfalls and successes one might find in starting or even continuing with a small high-tech business. Insights into innovative, speculative, and (largely) successful new ventures, as experienced by those who went through the process, are complemented by comments and observations from others in the field including researchers, economists, investors, regional development agencies, technology transfer organizations, and universities.The book is recommended to entrepreneurs in all high technology disciplines and in particular for students and early career professionals. It can be also useful for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in entrepreneurship, which many institutions are currently introducing, and to those who are interested in how a high-tech business might develop.
Considering the importance of wireless networks in healthcare, this book is dedicated to studying the innovations and advancements of wireless networks for biomedical application and their impact. This book focuses on a wide range of wireless technologies related to healthcare and biomedical applications which include, among others, body sensor networks, mobile networks, internet of things, mobile cloud computing, pervasive computing and wearable computing. First the authors explain how biomedical applications using wireless technologies are built across networks. The authors also detail 5G spectrum splicing for medical applicatons. They then discuss how wearable computing can be used as activity recognition tools for biomedical applications through remote health monitoring and and remote health risk assessment. Finally the authors provide detailed discussions on security and privacy in wirelessly transmitted medical senor data. This book targets research-oriented and professional readers. It would fit as a recommended supplemental reading for graduate students. It also helps researchers enter the field of wireless biomedical applications.
This third volume of Gyllenbok's encyclopaedia of historical metrology comprises the second part of the compendium of measurement systems and currencies of all sovereign states of the modern World (J-Z). Units of measurement are of vital importance in every civilization through history. Since the early ages, man has through necessity devised various measures to assist him in everyday life. They have enabled and continue to enable us to trade in commonly and equitably understood amounts, and to investigate, understand, and control the chemical, physical, and biological processes of the natural world. The encyclopeadia will be of use not only to historians of science and technology, but also to economic and social historians and should be in every major academic and national library as standard reference work on the topic.
This brief provides a review of the evolution of optical fiber sensing solutions and related applications. Unique production methods are presented and discussed, highlighting their evolution and analyzing their complexity. Under this scope, this brief presents the existing silica optical fiber sensors and polymer optical fiber sensors solutions, comparing its field of action (sensitivity, accuracy), complexity of manufacture and economic cost. Special attention is given to low-cost production methods. This brief evaluates the different existing techniques, assessing the accuracy and suitability of these sensors for possible Internet of Things (IoT) integration in different considered scenarios. Critical analytical techniques, also covered in this brief, are expected to play a key role in the world of IoT and the smart city of tomorrow.
The book is intended for practical engineers, researchers, students and other people dealing with the reviewed problems. We hope that the presented book will be beneficial to all readers and initiate further inquiry and development with aspiration for better future. The authors from different countries all over the world (Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Slovenia, Indonesia, Belgium, Romania, Lithuania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Korea and Ukraine) prepared chapters for this book. Such a broad geography indicates a high significance of considered subjects.
This book provides an overview of the state of the art in optical and chemical nanosensors for industrial, environmental, diagnostic, security, and medical applications. It summarizes the various types and developments in optical and chemical sensor technology and then explains how the integration of optical/chemical sensors and nanomaterials creates new opportunities. The text also reviews optochemical sensors, starting from the basics in optoelectronics and concluding with the principles of operation at the basis of optochemical devices. The authors offer insight into future trends in this growing field and present a range of applications in the fields of medicine, security, and bioterrorism.
Sensors are the most important component in any system and engineers in any field need to understand the fundamentals of how these components work, how to select them properly and how to integrate them into an overall system. This book has outlined the fundamentals, analytical concepts, modelling and design issues, technical details and practical applications of different types of sensors, electromagnetic, capacitive, ultrasonic, vision, Terahertz, displacement, fibre-optic and so on. The book: addresses the identification, modeling, selection, operation and integration of a wide variety of sensors, demonstrates the concepts of different sensors technology through simulation, design and real implementations, discusses the design and fabrication of high performance modern sensors technology, presents a selection of cutting-edge applications. Written by experts in their area of research, this book will be useful reference book for engineers and scientist especially the post-graduate students find this book as reference book for their research.
PIXELS & PAINTINGS “The discussion is firmly grounded in established art historical practices, such as close visual analysis and an understanding of artists’ working methods, and real-world examples demonstrate how computer-assisted techniques can complement traditional approaches.” —Dr. Emilie Gordenker, Director of the Van Gogh Museum The pioneering presentation of computer-based image analysis of fine art, forging a dialog between art scholars and the computer vision community In recent years, sophisticated computer vision, graphics, and artificial intelligence algorithms have proven to be increasingly powerful tools in the study of fine art. These methods—some adapted from fore...
