Learn the basics of modern robotics while building your own intelligent robot from scratch! You'll use inexpensive household materials to make the base for your robot, then add motors, power, wheels, and electronics.
But wait, it gets better: your creation is actually five robots in one! -- build your bot in stages, and add the features you want. Vary the functions to create a robot that's uniquely yours.
Mix and match features to make your own custom robot:
Flexible Motorized Base -- a playpen for all kinds of programming experiments
Obstacle Detector -- whiskers detect when your robot has bumped into things
Object Avoider -- ultrasonic sound lets your robot see what's in front of it
Infrared Remote Control -- command your robot from your easy chair
Line Follower -- use optics to navigate your bot; have races with other robot builders!
You will learn how switches, ultrasonics, infrared detectors, and optical sensors work. Install an Arduino microcontroller board and program your robot to avoid obstacles, provide feedback with lights and sound, and follow a tracking line. In this book you will combine multiple disciplines -- electronics, programming, and engineering -- to successfully build a multifunctional robot.
You'll discover how to:
construct a motorized base
set up an Arduino to function as the brain
use whisker switches to detect physical contact
avoid obstacles with ultrasonic sensors
teach your robot to judge distances
use a universal remote to control your robot
install and program a servo motor
respond to input with LEDs, buzzers, and tones
mount line-following sensors under your robot
And more. Everything is explained with lots and lots of full-color line drawings. No prior experience is necessary. You'll have fun while you learn a ton!

Описание:
Know what's causing application development waste so you can turn the tide.
This is the book your Systems Integrator and your Application Software vendor don't want you to read. Enterprise IT (Information Technology) is a $3.8 trillion per year industry worldwide. Most of it is waste.
We've grown used to projects costing tens of millions or even billions of dollars, and routinely running over budget and schedule many times over. These overages in both time and money are almost all wasted resources. However, the waste is hard to see, after being so marbled through all the products, processes, and guiding principles. That is what this book is about. We must see, understand, and agree about the problem before we can take coordinated action to address it.
The trajectory of this book is as follows:
In Chapter 1, we explore how bad the current state is. The three industries that address software waste are discussed, including the legacy software industry, neo-legacy software industry, and legacy modernization industry. Examples of application waste are illustrated from both public and private sectors.
In Chapter 2, we explore the economics of the software industry. Although the economic tradeoffs are changing at the speed of Moore's Law, our approaches are not keeping pace. Learn how information systems really behave in terms of actual application development.
In Chapter 3 we use "root cause analysis" to reveal the real contributors to this situation, which are dependency, redundancy, complexity, and application centricity.
Chapter 4 recounts the many failed attempts we've made in the past to deal with information system complexity, including relational databases, ERP systems, enterprise data modeling, service oriented architectures, and APIs, Agile, data warehouse and business intelligence, outsourcing and offshoring, cloud, Software as a Service (SaaS), data lakes, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Chapter 5 dismantles seven fallacies that contribute to our remaining stuck. For example, the first fallacy is "We need detailed requirements or we won't get what we want."
The quagmire is not affecting all sectors of the economy equally. Chapter 6 looks at how this is playing out in the government and private sectors, large and small companies, and various parts of the IT industry itself.
Chapter 7 outlines some action you can take now to begin to extricate yourself, including a detailed assessment and defining metrics for measuring and preventing software development waste.

Описание:
Three adventurous teenagers, yearning for manhood.
Two mysterious disappearances.
One Mississippi farm at the center of it all.
When he's not busy trying to win over the girl of his dreams, Case Reynolds fishes, camps, and races three-wheelers on a local farm with his best friends, the carefree Jack Masterson and brilliant Jet Townsend. But Case's life changes forever when he finds the murdered remains of a local drifter in a barn, the beloved farm comes up for sale, and Jack's abusive stepfather Stone disappears without a trace.
The evidence points to all three events being connected. And when the boys discover that not only are they prime suspects in the drifter's death, but the future of the farm depends on exposing the truth, they set out to find Stone and catch the killer on their own.
Their secret quest takes them on a journey of danger and self-discovery that they never could have imagined. Because Stone had dark secrets, killers will kill again, and the truth isn't always what it seems, even between best friends.
Can Case and his friends execute their plan to bring justice to those who deserve it and find a bit of redemption for Stone--and themselves--in the process?
A dozen murderers. 74 victims. Some of Oregon's most brutal crimes have occurred in the Cherry City-but then, every town has its dark side, doesn't it?
This book explores some of the area's most sensational crimes, including serial killers, desperados, a filicide, a battered wife, a mass poisoning, and much more from 1902 through the 1980s.
Among the tales: Jerome Brudos who abducted and strangled. Richard Marquette who dismembered. William Scott Smith who strangled young women. Lawrence Moore who unloaded a gun in a crowded bar. Randall Woodfield who murdered up and down I-5. Otto Hooker who killed a prison superintendent. Richard Wampler who murdered the head of the Oregon State Police. And finally, the continuing mystery of who killed the head of the Department of Corrections, Michael Francke.

Описание: J'nell and one of her partners, Major Lampton, defend her childhood friend, Qujette Barbarette, against the charge of murder. In the process, another client is freed of a murder charge, and they uncover a murder for hire plot that pits sons against their mother. She sees her old friend, Senator Freddy Breaux retire from the US Senate, and her best friend, George Allen Lange, win that vacated seat. J'nell Montalvo Johnson Rushing, had always believed she was in control of her life. That notion is challenged when she is blindsided by three of her legal partners; the three she trusted above all others; when they reveal to her their affiliation with Felix Petijean', the reputed head of the Louisiana Syndicate. What he reveals to her is almost impossible to accept. The hardest part is the knowledge her parents, several of her partner's and her best friend, have all been a part of the deception. J'nell suffers the loss of many of her older loved ones, and in the process is reunited with an old flame. It is then that she realizes her life had come full circle. J'nell sees all four of her children married and making her a grandmother. She continues to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. In the process, she takes on several large corporations, and to her mother's chagrin, the Catholic Church. Upon her retirement, she surprises her family and the legal world with a best-selling novel that eventually becomes a major mini-series. Her success is soured when the granddaughter of an old nemesis sues her for slander. Through it all, J'nell never loses her faith in God and gives all the glory to HIM. In her golden years, J'nell reflects on her many accomplishments, all the people who floated in and out of her life, the many lifelong friendships she made, and the fact she had few regrets about her life. At the end, she is happy to know she will be reunited with all those loved ones who went before her.
