Electrical Engineering Technology

Recent breakthroughs in AI have not only increased demand for AI products, they've also lowered the barriers to entry for those who want to build AI products. The model-as-a-service approach has transformed AI from an esoteric discipline into a powerful development tool that anyone can use. Everyone, including those with minimal or no prior AI experience, can now leverage AI models to build applications. In this book, author Chip Huyen discusses AI engineering: the process of building applications with readily available foundation models.

A concise introduction to all the key tenets of electrical and mechanical engineering degree course, written by former NASA engineer Dr. David Baker. Listeners will quickly get to grips with the fundamentals of electrical and mechanical engineering and their practical applications. Covering Newtonian mechanics, nuclear engineering, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and more, this essential guide brings clarity to complex ideas. David Baker delves into the history and development of this far-reaching subject, as well as the challenges of the future.

In Modern Software Engineering, continuous delivery pioneer David Farley helps software professionals think about their work more effectively, manage it more successfully, and genuinely improve the quality of their applications, their lives, and the lives of their colleagues.

A big source of tension between the US and China at the moment is technology. And one very small component is now at the centre of this battle for global dominance: the microchip. Controlling chip manufacturing in the 21st century may well prove to be like controlling the oil supply in the 20th. The country that controls this manufacturing can throttle the military and economic power of others. At the heart of this battle is ARM Holdings. The Everything Blueprint describes the titanic power struggle for control of the microchip.

Most of us take the supply of electricity for granted. This booklet gives simple explanation of what is electricity and how it reaches your home. Concepts such as AC and DC current and a few simple electrical components and their functions are explained. Mathematical expressions are totally avoided.

In this eagerly awaited new book from the author of the best-selling Nostalgia Nerd's Retro Tech, Peter Leigh takes a fun, informative and irreverent romp through the history of more than 40 pieces of personal tech, charting the successes, failures and oddities from over five decades of our obsession with gadgetry.

For more than a century, the interplay between private, investor-owned electric utilities and government regulators has shaped the electric power industry in the United States. Provision of an essential service to largely dependent consumers invited government oversight and ever more sophisticated market intervention. The industry has sought to manage, coopt, and profit from government regulation. In The Power Brokers, Jeremiah Lambert maps this complex interaction from the late 19th century to the present day.

This audiobook provides an overview of IT terminology for English speakers working with Japanese-speaking customers, clients, or partners. Core words and phrases appropriate to the IT sector are presented in English and Japanese. Topics covered include common Japanese vocabulary that is not exclusive to the technology field.

Leading neuroscience researchers are racing to unlock the secrets of the mind. On the cusp of decoding brain signals that govern motor skills, they are developing miraculous technologies to enable paraplegics and wounded soldiers to move prosthetic limbs, and the rest of us to manipulate computers and other objects through thought alone. These fiercely competitive scientists are vying for Defense Department and venture capital funding, prestige, and great wealth.

Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American innovator, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who helped establish the contemporary rotating present (AC) electrical energy delivery system.

The first biography of the American inventor known as "The Father of Remote Control" (1888-1963), who pioneered electronic remote control for modern radio devices, missile guidance systems, variable pitch propellers, other military innovations, and single dial radio tuning. After importing medieval architectural elements from Europe, he built the Hammond Castle, now a museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Originally published in 1987 under author's pen name, then Nancy Rubin and available at the Hammond Castle Museum, it is now in a digitized and updated version.
