Serial Communication Protocols and Standards

Data communication standards are comprised of two components: The “protocol” and “Signal/data/port specifications for the devices involved”. The protocol describes the format of the message and the meaning of each part of the message. To connect any device to the bus an external device must be used as an interface which will put the message in a form which fulfills all the electrical specifications of the port. These specifications are called the “Standard”. The most famous such serial communication standard is the RS-232. In IT technology Communication can be serial or parallel. Serial communication is used for transmitting data over long distances. It is much cheaper to run the single core cable needed for serial communication over a long distance than the multicore cables that would be needed for parallel communication. It is the same in wireless communication: Serial communication needs one channel while parallel needs multichannel. Serial Communication can also be classified in many other ways for example synchronous and asynchronous; it can also be classified as simplex duplex and half duplex. Because of the wide spread of serial communication from home automation to sensor and controller networks there is a need for a very large number of serial communication standards and protocols. These have been developed over recent decades and range from the simple to the highly complicated. This large number of protocols was necessary to guarantee the optimum performance for the targeted applications. It is important for communication engineers to have enough knowledge to match the right protocol and standard with the right application. The main aim of this book is to provide the reader with that knowledgeThe book also provides the reader with detailed information about:- Serial Communication- Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART)- Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) - eSPI- Universal Serial Bus (USB)- Wi-Fi- WiMax- InsteonThe details of each technology including specification operation security related matters and many other topics are covered. The book allocates three chapters to the main communication standards. These chapters cover everything related to the most famous standard RS-232 and all its variants. Other protocols such as: I2C CAN ZigBee Z-Wave Bluetooth and others are the subject of the authors separate book “Microcontroller and Smart Home Networks”. | Serial Communication Protocols and Standards

Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Applications

Since its first appearance artificial intelligence has been ensuring revolutionary outcomes in the context of real-world problems. At this point it has strong relations with biomedical and today’s intelligent systems compete with human capabilities in medical tasks. However advanced use of artificial intelligence causes intelligent systems to be black-box. That situation is not good for building trustworthy intelligent systems in medical applications. For a remarkable amount of time researchers have tried to solve the black-box issue by using modular additions which have led to the rise of the term: interpretable artificial intelligence. As the literature matured (as a result of in particular deep learning) that term transformed into explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). This book provides an essential edited work regarding the latest advancements in explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for biomedical applications. It includes not only introductive perspectives but also applied touches and discussions regarding critical problems as well as future insights. Topics discussed in the book include: XAI for the applications with medical images XAI use cases for alternative medical data/task Different XAI methods for biomedical applications Reviews for the XAI research for critical biomedical problems.

Disruptive Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Human Resource Management Impacts and Innovations -The Future of HR

It is well-established that every organization is founded with a specific purpose and goals. Virtually all business organizations obtain measurements and metrics dealing with outcomes and results. However what is reflected on the balance sheet does not necessarily show the actual worth of the organizations and ensure their survival and sustainability. Thus the question arises what exactly makes the organizations sustainable and thriving in an ever-changing environment? There are several examples of companies like Faber-Castell Bank of Ireland Chivas DuPont and many more which have been able to sustain and survive over more than 200 years and still have a successful existence in the present era. Thus it is important for the organization to pay equal attention to its three bottom lines i. e. people profit and planet for its sustainability which not only meet the needs of the present generation but should have a futuristic approach as well. In the present era organizations are adopting a new normal working dynamic and coping with the post-pandemic situations to sustain themselves in the business environment. Technology plays a significant role in this new working dynamic and cutting-edge technologies like machine learning artificial intelligence blockchain ChatGPT Internet of Things and much more effectively facilitate human functioning at work.

Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Many scientific and real-world problems that occur in science engineering and medicine can be represented in differential equations. There is a vital role for differential equations in studying the behavior of different types of real-world problems. Thus it becomes crucial to know the existence and uniqueness properties of differential equations and various methods of finding differential equation solutions in explicit form. It is also essential to know different kinds of differential equations in terms of eigenvalues termed eigenvalue problems and some special functions used in finding the solution to differential equations. The study of nonlinear problems also plays a significant role in different real-world situations. There is a necessity to know the behavior of solutions of nonlinear differential equations. Still there are very few forms of differential equations whose solution can be found in explicit form. For the differential equations whose solutions cannot be found in explicit form one has to study the properties of solutions of the given differential equation to guess an approximate solution of it. This book aims to introduce all the necessary topics of differential equations in one book so that laymen can easily understand the subject and apply it in their research areas. The novel approach used in this book is the introduction of different analytical methods for finding the solution of differential equations with sufficient theorems corollaries and examples and the geometrical interpretations in each topic. This textbook is intended to study the theory and methods of finding the explicit solutions to differential equations wherever possible and in the absence of finding explicit solutions it is intended to study the properties of solutions to the given differential equations. This book is based on syllabi of the theory of differential equations prescribed for postgraduate students of mathematics and applied mathematics in different institutions and universities of India and abroad. This book will be helpful for competitive examinations as well. | Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Energy Conservation Guidebook

Efficient energy management and effective conservation procedures have been very important considerations for our society for many years. An oil embargo in the 1970s and early 1980s brought about a new awareness of energy conservation. Because of various factors like loss of tax credits and efficiency standards imposed by the government public interest dropped considerably in regard to energy conservation. A revival in energy conservation among the general public occurred following the Persian Gulf War in the early 1990s. What does the 21st century hold? Conflicts in the Middle East high prices for petroleum and increasing population worldwide will all be significant influences on energy and its conservation. Considerable discussion of climate change global warming and increased concerns in regard to our electricity supply have provided motivation for building energy demand to be more flexible. Energy Management and Conservation Fourth Edition provides a very practical discussion of how energy can be managed and saved in most types of buildings. This edition not only updates the previous edition but adds updated content concerning energy cost reduction/going green to improve the environment. The authors of this book have written several books that use the systems approach. Through the use of the systems approach the reader will be able to grasp how different parts of a building fit together to form a unit that uses energy efficiently. This text provides a thorough and practical discussion of the operation of systems that are found in most types of buildings. Each system is discussed with energy management and conservation in mind/going green to save money and improve the environment. There are many ways to manage a building to accomplish efficient energy conservation.
