This book contains a collection of latest research developments on the printed electronics from the material-related various processes to the interdisciplinary device applications. It is a promising new research area that has received a lot of highlights for low-cost and high-volume manufacturing in recent years. Here, you will find interesting reports on currently progressed science- and technology-related materials, fabrication processes, and various recent applications, including organic/inorganic semiconductor, textile, and biomedical engineering for the printed electronics. I hope that the book will provide the fundamental backgrounds of printed electronics to lead you for the creation of new research field and further promotion of future technology of the printed electronics.
This book represents recent progress and development of the photodiodes including the fundamental reviews and the specific applications developed by the authors themselves. The key idea of this book is that it allows authors to deal with a wide range of backgrounds and research progresses in photodiode-related areas. With respect to the original collection of the book chapters, this book contains several improvements and new problems and related solutions are also discussed in the areas from fundamental physics and design to device and circuit applications. The book is intended for graduate students, engineers, and researchers who are especially interested in the area of optoelectronic device applications, including photodiodes, solar cells, CMOS image sensors, Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits, etc.
Like most industries around the world, the energy industry has also made, and continues to make, a long march toward “green” energy. The science has come a long way since the 1970s, and renewable energy and other green technologies are becoming more and more common, replacing fossil fuels. It is, however, still a struggle, both in terms of energy sources keeping up with demand, and the development of useful technologies in this area. To maintain the supply for electrical energy, researchers, engineers and other professionals in industry are continuously exploring new eco-friendly energy technologies and power electronics, such as solar, wind, tidal, wave, bioenergy, and fuel cells. These...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence: Methodology, Systems, and Applications, AIMSA 2000, held in Varna, Bulgaria in September 2000. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on knowledge construction, reasoning under certainty, reasoning under uncertainty, actors and agents, Web mining, natural language processing, complexity and optimization, fuzzy and neural systems, and algorithmic learning.
Proceedings of the Artificial Neural Networks in Engineering Conference, November 9-12, 1997, St. Louis, Missouri. The papers compiled in this book focus on building smart components to engineering systems currently available. The term smart in this context indicates physical systems that can interact with their environment and adapt to changes in both space and time by their ability to manipulate the environment through self-awareness and perceived models of the world based on both quantitative and qualitative information. Recent technologies such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary programming, data mining wavelets, complex systems, and virtual reality form the basis o...
