Tachomaster: Drivers Guide to the Digital Tachograph.pdf

November 17, 2009 · Filed Under Auto Parts & 3rd Parties · Comment  · Tags: , ,

Taken from The Digital Tachograph Vehicle Unit: The Digital Tachograph Vehicle Unit (VU) is an electronic device that is able to record and store driver and vehicle records. The VU must have the ability to store this data for at least 365 days and must make it possible to download that data. Operators based in Great Britain are obliged to download the data at least every 56 days, and then store it safely and make it available for inspection by the authorities for the next twelve months.
Data recorded by the VU include vehicle speed, distance traveled and other system related parameters. General vehicle speed data is limited to 24 driving hours and is recorded only in the memory of the Digital Tachograph Vehicle Unit. It is NOT written in the Driver Card. Details of excessive speeds (overspeeds) are recorded however, and analysis of the data can show these events and other useful information such as ‘harsh braking’.

The purpose of this report is to spell out some of the prospects for control in the current and future technological environment, to describe the role the field will play in military, commercial, and scientific applications over the next decade, and to recommend actions required to enable new breakthroughs in engineering and technology through application of control research.

Introduction to Economic Analysis.pdf

October 23, 2009 · Filed Under Social Economic · Comment  · Tags: , , , , , ,

This book presents introductory economics (”principles”) material using standard mathematical tools, including calculus. It is designed for a relatively sophisticated undergraduate who has not taken a basic university course in economics. It also contains the standard intermediate microeconomics material and some material that ought to be standard but is not. The book can easily serve as an intermediate microeconomics text. The focus of this book is on the conceptual tools and not on fluff. Most microeconomics texts are mostly fluff and the fluff market is exceedingly overserved by $100+ texts. In contrast, this book reflects the approach actually adopted by the majority of economists for understanding economic activity. There are lots of models and equations and no pictures of economists.

Chemical Principles - Third Edition.pdf

October 22, 2009 · Filed Under Chemical Engineering · Comment  · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Taken from PREFACE: This edition of Chemical Principles, like its predecessors, is designed to be used in a general university chemistry course which must provide both an overview of chemistry for nonspecialists and a sound foundation for later study for science or chemistry majors. Hence there are several survey chapters introducing different areas of chemistry, including inorganic, nuclear, organic, and biochemistry, and an attempt is made throughout the book to place chemistry in its historical and cultural setting. At the same time, the quantitative aspects of chemistry are presented in a manner consistent with their importance, in a way that will make it easy to build upon them in later courses. This is the first complete revision of Chemical Principles since the first edition was published in 1969. The authors have rethought and replanned the entire book, especially the first thirteen chapters, trying to make it a better pedagogical tool without losing the special viewpoints and flavor that made the earlier editions so successful. The history and the anecdotal asides that help to make the subject palatable have been retained, but they have been better segregated from the factual material for which a student will be held responsible.

The Thermodynamics of Phase Equilibrium.pdf

October 9, 2009 · Filed Under Physics · Comment  · Tags: ,

Taken from Introduction: This paper is the first in a series in which thermodynamics is developed beyond its usual scope from a new postulational basis. The postulational basis of classical thermodynamics is firmly established in tradition and a new departure calls for an explanation of the underlying ideas. It is widely believed that thermodynamics consists essentially of the implications of the first, second, and third law of thermodynamics. Actually, however, few if any significant results can be derived from these postulates without using a number of additional assumptions concerning the properties of material systems, such as the existence of homogeneous phases, validity of equations of state and the like.
