Ais ich dieses Buch im Jahre 1920 zum ersten lYIale herausgab,
folgte ich vielfach geapBerten Wiinschen, die von mir fiir die
Firma Siemens & Halske geschriebenen Technischen Anweisungen
iiber Wechselstrom-Leistungsmessungen weitesten Kreisen in
geschlossener Form zuganglich zu machen. Bei dieser Entwicklung
konnten naturgemaB nur Siemens-Apparate in dem Buch be schrieben
werden. Da diese jedoch nur als Ausfiihrungsbeispiele fiir den im
iibrigen allgemein behandelten Stoff dienen und sich die Fabrikate
anderer Firmen von den beschriebenen nicht prin zipiell, sondern
nur in konstruktiven Einzelheiten unterscheiden, ist die
Beschrankung auf ein Fabrikat belanglos. Diese Behand lungsweise
bietet vielmehr den Vorteil, daB das ganze Gebiet an einer
einheitlich durchgebildeten Reihe von MeBgeraten be sprochen werden
kann und daB statt allgemeiner Angaben iiberall festliegende Zahlen
gebracht werden konnen. Um den hierdurch gegebenen Gebrauchswert
des Buches zu erhalten, sind auch in der zweiten und in der
vorliegenden dritten Auflage als Aus fiihrungsbeispiele im
allgemeinen nur Siemens-MeBgerate gebracht. Im iibrigen ist jedoch
das Buch seit dem ersten Erscheinen voll standig umgearbeitet
worden. In der vorliegenden drittw Auflage ist der Stoff nach
allgemein giiltigen Gesichtspunkten neu aufgebaut und gegliedert
worden. Hierdurch ergab sich die Moglichkeit, das Gemeinsame der
ver schiedenen MeBgerate zusammenzufassen und einheitlich zu be
handeIn. So wird beispielsweise erst die Bauart der verschiedenen
MeBwerke der Leistungsmesser geschlossen behandelt, dann werden die
Ausfiihrungsmoglichkeiten der Innenschaltung und endlich die fiir
die Messungen erforderliche Berechnung der Kon stanten in allgemein
geltender Form gebracht."

In recent years, technology has permeated every aspect of daily
life and has drastically increased accessibility and empowerment
for all demographics. Smart technologies and mobile applications
now have the ability to promote and protect the basic rights of
children, women, and men alike. A child's right to education and
mental growth or a woman's socio-economic stability and protection
from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse can all be attributed to
these advancements. Mobile Devices and Smart Gadgets in Human
Rights provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and
practical applications of technology in relation to human ethical
treatment and interactions. Featuring coverage on a broad range of
topics such as public safety, augmented reality, and safety apps,
this book is ideally designed for researchers, students, activists,
academicians, policymakers, and government officials seeking
current research on the influence of portable technologies in human
rights and ethics.
Urban Mobility and the Smartphone: Transportation, Travel Behavior
and Public Policy provides a global synthesis of the transformation
of urban mobility by the smartphone, clarifying the definitions of
new concepts and objects in mobility studies, accounting for the
changes in transportation and travel behavior triggered by the
spread of the smartphone, and discussing the implications of these
changes for policy-making and research. Urban mobility is
approached here as a system of actors: the perspectives of
individual behavior (including lifestyles), the supply of mobility
services (including actors, business models), and public
policy-making are considered. The book is based on an extensive
review of the academic literature as well as systematic observation
of the development of smartphone-based mobility services around the
world. In addition, case studies provide practical illustrations of
the ongoing transformation of mobility services influenced by the
dissemination of smartphones. The book not only consolidates
existing research, but also picks up on weak signals that help
researchers and practitioners anticipate future changes in urban
mobility systems. Key Features * Synthesizes existing research into
one reference, providing researchers and policy-makers with a clear
and complete understanding of the changes triggered by the spread
of the smartphone. * Analyzes numerous case studies throughout
developed and developing countries providing practical
illustrations of the influence of the smartphone on travel
behavior, transportation systems, and policy-making. * Provides
insights for researchers and practitioners looking to engage with
the "smart cities" and "smart mobility" discourse.

allows us to integrate shared experiences such as multiplayer
augmented reality and persistent AR that is tied to a specific
location so that the same information can be replicated on all
connected devices. In the next section, we will dive into creating
Augmented Reality games using SpriteKit and SceneKit. Then,
finally, we will see how to create a Multipeer AR project to
connect two devices, and send and receive data back and forth
between those devices in real time. By the end of this book, you
will be able to create your own iOS games using Swift and publish
them on the iOS App Store. What you will learn Deliver powerful

The current state-of-art in securing computers and data is
tantamount to an arms race between the attackers on one hand and
the software developers who have to provide the updates to
counteract the attacks on the other. This monograph introduces a
novel technique for designing secure protocols with provable
security guarantees for wireless ad-hoc networks infiltrated with
adversarial nodes. It does this by developing a system-theoretical
approach to secure protocol design that provides provable and
comprehensive security guarantees, where any features of a protocol
that reduce complexity or maximize the network throughput do not
come at the expense of security. The desired approach is one of
security first and performance second, which is the reverse of the
current approach. This novel approach uses a game-theoretic
framework that addresses the deficiencies in the defense-in-depth
approach to securing complex systems. A Clean Slate Approach to
Secure Wireless Networking describes in detail the theory of using
this approach in both closed synchronized and unsynchronized
networks. It will be of interest to all researchers and designers
working on securing wireless networks.
What is at stake socially, culturally, politically, and
economically when we routinely use technology to gather information
about our bodies and environments? Today anyone can purchase
technology that can track, quantify, and measure the body and its
environment. Wearable or portable sensors detect heart rates,
glucose levels, steps taken, water quality, genomes, and
microbiomes, and turn them into electronic data. Is this phenomenon
empowering, or a new form of social control? Who volunteers to
enumerate bodily experiences, and who is forced to do so? Who
interprets the resulting data? How does all this affect the
relationship between medical practice and self care, between
scientific and lay knowledge? Quantified examines these and other
issues that arise when biosensing technologies become part of
everyday life. The book offers a range of perspectives, with views
from the social sciences, cultural studies, journalism, industry,
and the nonprofit world. The contributors consider data,
personhood, and the urge to self-quantify; legal, commercial, and
medical issues, including privacy, the outsourcing of medical
advice, and self-tracking as a "paraclinical" practice; and
technical concerns, including interoperability, sociotechnical
calibration, alternative views of data, and new space for design.
