September 2, 2009 · Filed Under Finance · Comment  · Tags: , , , ,

Taken from Abstract: The ATM and debit card industry is undergoing significant change. Some of the most dramatic changes include the sharp growth in point-of-sale debit card transactions, the intense competition between online and offline debit, the heavy consolidation of regional EFT networks and third-party service providers, the growing importance of nonbank ownership of networks, and new pricing structures and strategies. This paper provides a guide to the current structure of the ATM and debit card industry. It also highlights some key economic and public policy issues. Among the issues addressed are market concentration, vertical integration and economies of scope, pricing, access, and risk.

You know the real trouble with Unix? The real trouble is that it became so popular. It wasn’t meant to be popular. It was meant for a few folks working away in their labs, using Digital Equipment Corporation’s old PDP-11 computer. I used to have one of those.

Before you use Precision Synthesis to perform RTL synthesis on your design, you should already have a good understanding of the syntax and semantics of VHDL and /or Verilog. This manual describes how Precision RTL Synthesis views these two HDL languages and makes recommendations on the style to use to achieve the best synthesized design.

Common LISP: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation.pdf

July 3, 2008 · Filed Under Artificial Intelligence · Comment  · Tags: , ,

Prior to about 1984, the Lisps available on personal computers weren’t very good due to the small memories of the early machines. Today’s personal computers often come with several megabytes of RAM and a hard disk as standard equipment. They run full implementations of the Common Lisp standard, and provide the same high-quality tools as the Lisps in university and industrial research labs. The “Lisp Toolkit” sections of this book will introduce you to the advanced features of the Common Lisp programming environment that have made the language such a productive tool for rapid prototyping and AI programming.

Manufacturing Processes II.pdf

Great course material/ebook from IIT Kharagpur, contains great deal of informations about manufacturing processes that I believe every mechanical and industrial engineers should know. You can learn (or at least read) about abrasive process, EDM, Abrasive Jet Machining and more aside of conventional manufacturing processes such as grinding, turning, etc!
