The Synchronized Society traces the history of the synchronous broadcast experience of the twentieth century and the transition to the asynchronous media that dominate today. Broadcasting grew out of the latent desire by nineteenth-century industrialists, political thinkers, and social reformers to tame an unruly society by controlling how people used their time. The idea manifested itself in the form of the broadcast schedule, a managed flow of information and entertainment that required audiences to be in a particular place - usually the home - at a particular time and helped to create "water cooler" moments, as audiences reflected on their shared media texts. Audiences began disconnecting from the broadcast schedule at the end of the twentieth century, but promoters of social media and television services still kept audiences under control, replacing the schedule with surveillance of media use. Author Randall Patnode offers compelling new insights into the intermingled roles of broadcasting and industrial/post-industrial work and how Americans spend their time.

This book presents selected papers from the 6th International Conference on Inventive Systems and Control (ICISC 2022), held on 6-7 January 2022 at JCT College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, India. The conference proceedings of ICISC 2022 includes an analysis of the class of intelligent systems and control techniques that utilizes various artificial intelligence technologies, where there is no mathematical models and system available to make them remain controlled. Inspired by various existing intelligent techniques, the primary goal of ICISC 2022 proceedings is to present the emerging innovative models to tackle the challenges faced by the existing computing and communication technologies.

Free Download Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics and Control
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1292040041 | 378 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB
Since its original publication in 1986, Craig's Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics and Control has been the market's leading textbook used for teaching robotics at the university level. With perhaps one-half of the material from traditional mechanical engineering material, one-fourth control theoretical material, and one-fourth computer science, it covers rigid-body transformations, forward and inverse positional kinematics, velocities and Jacobians of linkages, dynamics, linear control, non-linear control, force control methodologies, mechanical design aspects, and programming of robots.

English | 2010 | pages: 320 | ISBN: 067006517X, 0143177656 | EPUB | 0,3 mb
After four years in power, Stephen Harper's governance comes under the microscope of prominent Globe and Mail columnist Lawrence Martin. Focusing on the growth of executive power under Harper and drawing on interviews with prominent insiders, Martin probes the smearing of opponents, the silencing of the public and diplomatic service, the secrecy, the prorogations, the unprecedented centralizing of power, and the attempted muzzling of the media. He examines controversies such as the existence of a secret dirty-tricks handbook, the Chuck Cadman affair, campaign financing, the dismissal of nuclear power head Linda Keen, the Afghan detainees cover-up, the turning of access-to-information laws into barricades to information, and more-and lets readers draw their own conclusions. Tough but balanced, Harperland offers a clear picture of a skilled politician at a crucial point in Canadian politics.

Free Download Flexible Load Control for Enhancing Renewable Power System Operation by Yuanzheng Li , Yang Li , Zhigang Zeng
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 288 Pages | ISBN : 9819703115 | 65.6 MB
This book addresses the pressing challenges faced by renewable power system operation (RPSO) due to the increasing penetration of renewable energy and flexible load. These challenges can be divided into two categories. Firstly, the inherent uncertainties associated with renewable energy sources pose significant difficulties in RPSO. Secondly, the presence of various types of flexible load, along with their complex constraint relationships, adds to the operational complexities. Recognizing the growing emphasis on the economic and low-carbon aspects of RPSO, this book focuses on the key issues of flexible load control. It mainly consists of following categories: (1) The control of data centers, a booming flexible load, to enhance RPSO through renewable energy integration and advanced robust multi-objective optimization. (2) The introduction of flexible industrial load control, employing effective demand-supply cooperative responding strategies for RPSO. (3) The exploration of electricvehicle flexible charging load control and centralized electric vehicle charging system control in the context of RPSO. The book also covers the emerging field of flexible integrated load control for renewable energy-based comprehensive energy system operation. Aimed at researchers, engineers, and graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding and implementing flexible load control in the context of RPSO.
