Building Solutions with the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework

The .NET Compact Framework (CF) is a version of the .NET Framework for mobile devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and Pocket PCs. The final versions of the CF and the Smart Device Extensions (SDE) were released in February of 2003, yet in spite of widespread interest in the technology, there has been very little information released so far to help developers master these powerful new tools. Together the CF and the SDE provide a rich development environment for building both stand-alone and connected applications on both the Pocket PC and Windows CE platforms. The authors have been teaching developers about the CF and SDE for months now, and have based this book on the real-world questions raised - and solutions developed - in those training sessions. The authors strike a perfect balance between the "whys" of mobile development, the architecture, and the "hows", the best practices. Busy developers will appreciate their concise style.

Professional ADO.NET 3.5 with LINQ and the Entity Framework

Language Integrated Query (LINQ), as well as the C# 3.0 and VB 9.0 language extensions to support it, is the most import single new feature of Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework 3.x. LINQ is Microsoft’s first attempt to define a universal query language for a diverse set of in-memory collections of generic objects, entities persisted in relational database tables, and element and attributes of XML documents or fragments, as well as a wide variety of other data types, such as RSS and Atom syndication feeds. Microsoft invested millions of dollars in Anders Hejlsberg and his C# design and development groups to add new features to C# 3.0—such as lambda expressions, anonymous types, and extension methods—specifically to support LINQ Standard Query Operators (SQOs) and query expressions as a part of the language itself.

C-compiler Reference manual

PCH, like the other CCS compiler products, is capable of generating highly efficient and extremely tight object code for Microchips 18F family of PIC Microprocessors. While the PCH is a command line compiler it can easily be stitched into Microchips MPLAB IDE for those who want a graphic IDE or if you prefer to use Microchip's development tools for debugging.
If you are looking for a completely integrated PIC development solution checkout the PCW or PCWH version of the CCS compiler. These versions incorporate all the same features and functions as the PCB compiler plus additional PIC controllers, and a Windows IDE that is fully integrated with CCS’s in-circuit debuggers (ICD-u40, ICD-S40, Mach-X).

Diffusion MRI: From quantitative measurement to in-vivo neuroanatomy

Heidi Johansen-Berg, Timothy E.J. Behrens, "Diffusion MRI: From quantitative measurement to in-vivo neuroanatomy"
Academic Press 2009 | ISBN-10: 0123747090 | 576 Pages | PDF | 23,8 MB

Diffusion imaging is a non-invasive MR technique that is now being used in novel ways to study aspects of white matter anatomy that could never before be investigated in the living brain. The technique therefore has enormous potential for addressing novel research questions in both basic and clinical neuroscience. This book aims to cover the field of diffusion imaging from the fundamental theory to its most cutting-edge applications. It contains sufficient detail to be a reference book for medical physicists, but will also cover fundamental aspects of experimental design and example applications that will be of interest to clinical and basic neuroscientists. Importantly, the book presents diffusion imaging in the context of well-established, classical experimental techniques, so that readers will be able to assess the scope and limitations of the new imaging technology with respect to techniques available previously. Each section includes chapters on methodology (with the more advanced, mathematical material included in appendices for the interested reader), validation of the imaging technology, and application of diffusion imaging to the study of variation and development of normal brain anatomy, and disruption to the white matter in neurological disease or psychiatric disorder.The aim of the book is to become an essential reference text for scientists designing or interpreting diffusion MR experiments.

Robot Brains: Circuits and Systems for Conscious Machines

Pentti O. Haikonen, "Robot Brains: Circuits and Systems for Conscious Machines"
Wiley-Interscience | 2007 | ISBN: 0470062045 | 224 pages | PDF | 3,4 MB

Haikonen envisions autonomous robots that perceive and understand the world directly, acting in it in a natural human-like way without the need of programs and numerical representation of information. By developing higher-level cognitive functions through the power of artificial associative neuron architectures, the author approaches the issues of machine consciousness.
Robot Brains expertly outlines a complete system approach to cognitive machines, offering practical design guidelines for the creation of non-numeric autonomous creative machines. It details topics such as component parts and realization principles, so that different pieces may be implemented in hardware or software. Real-world examples for designers and researchers are provided, including circuit and systems examples that few books on this topic give.
In novel technical and practical detail, this book also considers:
the limitations and remedies of traditional neural associators in creating true machine cognition;
basic circuit assemblies cognitive neural architectures;
how motors can be interfaced with the associative neural system in order for fluent motion to be achieved without numeric computations;
memorization, imagination, planning and reasoning in the machine;
the concept of machine emotions for motivation and value systems;
an approach towards the use and understanding of natural language in robots.
The methods presented in this book have important implications for computer vision, signal processing, speech recognition and other information technology fields. Systematic and thoroughly logical, it will appeal to practising engineers involved in the development and design of robots and cognitive machines, also researchers in Artificial Intelligence. Postgraduate students in computational neuroscience and robotics, and neuromorphic engineers will find it an exciting source of information.
