Power Electronics Applied to Industrial Systems and Transports, Volume 3 - Switching Power Supplies (Hardcover): Nicolas Patin Power Electronics Applied to Industrial Systems and Transports, Volume 3 - Switching Power Supplies (Hardcover)
Nicolas Patin
R2,022 Discovery Miles 20 220 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Some power electronic converters are specifically designed to power equipment under a smoothed DC voltage. Therefore, the filtering part necessarily involves the use of auxiliary passive components (inductors and capacitors). This book deals with technical aspects such as classical separation between isolated and non-isolated power supplies, and soft switching through a special converter. It addresses the problem of regulating the output voltage of the switching power supplies in terms of modeling and obtaining transfer of SMPS functions. Power Electronics for Industry and Transport, Volume 3, offers a case study of an isolated flyback power which the complete design is presented: the active and passive components are sized based on the specifications initially set. Particular attention is given to the converter output capacitors and all the surrounding organs.

Repairing Old Clocks and Watches (Hardcover, Reprinted edition): Anthony Whiten Repairing Old Clocks and Watches (Hardcover, Reprinted edition)
Anthony Whiten
R593 Discovery Miles 5 930 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Amateur repairers of clocks and watches grow in number every year as they discover the delights and challenges of the horological hobby. Often an initiate will begin with one of the classic books on the craft for the professionals, published by NAG Press. This time, however, this book is for amateurs.The author, Anthony Whiten, was bitten by the horological bug and communicated his enthusiasm to others with the result, as he says, that he was asked so many questions he had to write this book! If the reader does not have the right tools or they are too expensive to buy, the author describes how to make alterations out of simple and easily obtainable materials, or how to avoid the necessity for the tool at all. He also describes how to dismantle and assemble movements, what may go wrong with them and how to set faults right. He tells you how to oil the right parts and how to restore cases in all stages of decay. The book is illustrated with over 270 line drawings specially drawn to the author's specification. These range from step-by-step demonstrations of how to do things, to diagrams of movements identifying each part and its position in the movement - a great help at the 'gulp and shut the case' stage. Tony Whiten is not a professional, but many who are will find his comments both stimulating and inspirational. The amateur will find a sympathetic guide because the author has been through all the agonies of learning by hand experience. He hopes that this book will help others to avoid making some of his worst mistakes and encourage them to tackle bigger and better problems in the future.

Blockchain has potential to revolutionize how manufacturers design, engineer, make and scale their products. Blockchain is gradually proving to be an effective "middleware" solution for enabling seamless interoperability within complex supply chains. Due to its technological nature, blockchain enables secure, transparent and fast data exchanges as well as allowing for the creation of immutable records databases The main advantage of Blockchain in Manufacturing Industries is product traceability, supply chain transparency, compliance monitoring, and auditability. Moreover, leveraging blockchain technology into a manufacturing enterprise can enhance its security and reduce the rates of systematic failures. So, blockchain is now used in various sectors of the manufacturing industry, such as automotive, aerospace, defense, pharmaceutical, consumer electronics, textile, food and beverages, and more. Hence, Blockchain should be seen as an investment in future-readiness and customer-centricity, not as an experimental technology - because, the evidence is overwhelming. This book will explore the strengths of Blockchain adaptation in Manufacturing Industries and Logistics Management, cover different use cases of Blockchain Technology for Manufacturing Industries and Logistics Management, and will discuss the role, impact and challenges of adopting Blockchain in Manufacturing industries and Logistics Management. The chapters will also provide the current open issues and future research trends of Blockchain, especially for Manufacturing Industries and Logistics, and will encapsulate quantitative and qualitative research for a wide spectrum of readers of the book.
