Analise
by Lisa GregoryA STORMY SURRENDER TO LOVE... He swept down from the North, disguised as a Confederate officer, determined to woo the belle of New Orleans, Analise Caldwell-and wrest from her the military secrets her father held. Now, to save a life, the raven-haired Analise must trade her innocence to this Union spy and major, the iron-willed Mark Schaeffer, the man who treats her like pirate booty and possesses her with a jealous fury. Torn from family and friends, burning with a tenderness she dare not speak, the spirited beauty must survive in a battle-scarred world and fight for the tempestuous love of her captor. For Analise has imprisoned the wild heart of her Yankee foe...and although the city of Spanish moss and French elegance has surrendered -the war of flame-bright passions has just begun...
Analog (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series)
by Robert HassanWhy, surrounded by screens and smart devices, we feel a deep connection to the analog—vinyl records, fountain pens, Kodak film, and other nondigital tools.We&’re surrounded by screens; our music comes in the form of digital files; we tap words into a notes app. Why do we still crave the &“realness&” of analog, seeking out vinyl records, fountain pens, cameras with film? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Robert Hassan explores our deep connection to analog technology. Our analog urge, he explains, is about what we&’ve lost from our technological past, something that&’s not there in our digital present. We&’re nostalgic for what we remember indistinctly as somehow more real, more human. Surveying some of the major developments of analog technology, Hassan shows us what&’s been lost with the digital. Along the way, he discusses the appeal of the 2011 silent, black-and-white Oscar-winning film The Artist; the revival of the non-e-book book; the early mechanical clocks that enforced prayer and worship times; and the programmable loom. He describes the effect of the typewriter on Nietzsche&’s productivity, the pivotal invention of the telegraph, and the popularity of the first televisions despite their iffy picture quality.The transition to digital is marked by the downgrading of human participation in the human-technology relationship. We have unwittingly unmoored ourselves, Hassan warns, from the anchors of analog technology and the natural world. Our analog nostalgia is for those ancient aspects of who and what we are.

Analog Circuits and Systems for Voltage-Mode and Current-Mode Sensor Interfacing Applications (Analog Circuits and Signal Processing)
by Andrea De Marcellis Giuseppe FerriAnalog CMOS Microelectronic Circuits describes novel approaches for analog electronic interfaces design, especially for resistive and capacitive sensors showing a wide variation range, with the intent to cover a lack of solutions in the literature. After an initial description of sensors and main definitions, novel electronic circuits, which do not require any initial calibrations, are described; they show both AC and DC excitation voltage for the employed sensor, and use both voltage-mode and current-mode approaches. The proposed interfaces can be realized both as prototype boards, for fast characterization (in this sense, they can be easily implemented by students and researchers), and as integrated circuits, using modern low-voltage low-power design techniques (in this case, specialist analog microelectronic researchers will find them useful). The primary audience of Analog CMOS Microelectronic Circuits are: analog circuit designers, sensor companies, Ph.D. students on analog microelectronics, undergraduate and postgraduate students in electronic engineering.

Analog Days: The Invention and Impact of the Moog Synthesizer
by Trevor Pinch Frank TroccoThough ubiquitous today, available as a single microchip and found in any electronic device requiring sound, the synthesizer when it first appeared was truly revolutionary. Something radically new--an extraordinary rarity in musical culture--it was an instrument that used a genuinely new source of sound: electronics. How this came to be--how an engineering student at Cornell and an avant-garde musician working out of a storefront in California set this revolution in motion--is the story told for the first time in Analog Days, a book that explores the invention of the synthesizer and its impact on popular culture. The authors take us back to the heady days of the 1960s and early 1970s, when the technology was analog, the synthesizer was an experimental instrument, and synthesizer concerts could and did turn into happenings. Interviews with the pioneers who determined what the synthesizer would be and how it would be used--from inventors Robert Moog and Don Buchla to musicians like Brian Eno, Pete Townshend, and Keith Emerson--recapture their visions of the future of electronic music and a new world of sound. Tracing the development of the Moog synthesizer from its initial conception to its ascension to stardom in Switched-On Bach, from its contribution to the San Francisco psychedelic sound, to its wholesale adoption by the worlds of film and advertising, Analog Days conveys the excitement, uncertainties, and unexpected consequences of a new technology that would provide the soundtrack for a critical chapter of our cultural history.
Analog Devices and Circuits 1: Analog Devices
by Christian GontrandAt the end of the Second World War, a new technological trend was born: integrated electronics. This trend relied on the enormous rise of integrable electronic devices. Analog Devices and Circuits is composed of two volumes: the first deals with analog components, and the second with associated analog circuits. The goal here is not to create an overly comprehensive analysis, but rather to break it down into smaller sections, thus highlighting the complexity and breadth of the field. This first volume, after a brief history, describes the two main devices, namely bipolar transistors and MOS, with particular importance given to the modeling aspect. In doing so, we deal with new devices dedicated to radio frequency, which touches on nanoelectronics. We will also address some of the notions related to quantum mechanics. Finally, Monte Carlo methods, by essence statistics, will be introduced, which have become more and more important since the middle of the twentieth century. The second volume deals with the circuits that "use" the analog components that were introduced in Volume 1. Here, a particular emphasis is placed on the main circuit: the operational amplifier.

Analog Devices, Inc.: The Half-Life System
by Robert S. KaplanThe company has committed to major improvements in quality, cost, and on-time delivery performance. Despite strong senior management support, however, the actual rate of improvement was disappointing until a new measurement philosophy was introduced. The new approach specified expected rates of improvement and compared actual improvements to the expected rate. Operational people preferred the new measures to the monthly financial reports they continued to receive. The case explores the conflicts between financial measurements and operating improvements.
Analog Dithering Techniques for Wireless Transmitters (Analog Circuits and Signal Processing #3)
by Reza Mahmoudi Foad Arfaei Malekzadeh Arthur H.M. RoermundThis book describes innovative techniques and the theoretical background for design and analysis of high performance RF/Microwave transmitters.
