Nowadays, security problems are rarely properly solved or correctly addressed. Electronic security is only part of the chain in making a system secure. Electronic security is usually addressed as network or software security, neglecting other aspects, but the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This book is about electronic hardware security, with an emphasis on problems that you can solve on a shoestring DIY budget. It deals mostly with secure communications, cryptosystems, and espionage. You will quickly appreciate that you can’t simply buy a trustworthy and reliable cryptosystem off the shelf. You will then realise that this applies equally to individuals, corporations, and governments. If you want to increase your electronic security awareness in a world already overcrowded with networks of microphones and cameras, this is a book for you. Furthermore, if you want to do something DIY by designing and expanding upon simple electronic systems, please continue reading.

A comprehensive course that will teach you how to build a modern IoT application. This book will take you on a whirlwind tour of full-stack web application development using Raspberry Pi. You will learn how to build an application from the ground up. In the first section of the book, I will introduce you to the Raspberry Pi, and focus on the Raspberry Pi Zero as our base hardware platform. This base hardware represents the lowest level of the Full Stack application. In the second section of the book, step two of the project, you will learn about the Raspbian operating system. This is the software that makes it possible for us, the application developers, to implement our application using high-level tools like the Python programming language and the SQLite3 database. The real work begins in section four. There, you will learn about the Raspberry Pi's General Purpose Inputs and Outputs (GPIO), and how to use them with simple Python programs. I will explain how to refer to a specific GPIO and show you the basic Python commands you need to perform simple tasks, like turn an LED on and read the state of a button. All big things start with the first simple step, and for this project, the first step is to blink an LED.

Although much classical HF and mobile equipment is still in use by large numbers of amateurs, the use of computers and digital techniques has now become very popular among amateur radio operators. Nowadays, anyone can purchase a €5 Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board and develop many amateur radio projects using the “Pico” and some external components. This book is aimed at amateur radio enthusiasts, Electronic Engineering students, and anyone interested in learning to use the Raspberry Pi Pico to shape their electronic projects. The book is suitable for beginners in electronics as well as for those with wide experience. Step-by-step installation of the MicroPython programming environment is described. Some knowledge of the Python programming language is helpful to be able to comprehend and modify the projects given in the book. The book introduces the Raspberry Pi Pico and gives examples of many general-purpose, software-only projects that familiarize the reader with the Python programming language.

This book addresses many applications of Artificial Intelligence in robotics, namely AI using visual and motional input. Robotic technology has made significant contributions to daily living, industrial uses, and medicinal applications. Machine Learning, in particular, is critical for intelligent robots or unmanned/autonomous systems such as UAVs, UGVs, UUVs, cooperative robots, and so on. Humans are distinguished from animals by capacities such as receiving visual information, adjusting to uncertain circumstances, and making decisions to take action in a complex system. Significant progress has been made in robotics toward human-like intelligence; yet, there are still numerous unresolved issues. Deep Learning, reinforcement learning, real-time learning, swarm intelligence, and other developing approaches such as tiny-ML have been developed in recent decades and used in robotics.

T​his textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles ruling the working mechanism of the most common solid-state electronic devices. It covers the physics of semiconductors and the properties of junctions of semiconductors with semiconductors, metals, and insulators. The exposition makes a minimal use of quantum mechanics concepts and methods. On the other hand, it avoids the pure phenomenological description of the properties of electronic devices. Thus, using a semi-classical approach the book provides a rigorous treatment of the subject. The book is addressed to undergraduate students of scientific and technological faculties as well to professionals who wish to be introduced to the basic principles of electronic devices.

In this valuable reference work, Ichiro Fujieda focuses on the component technologies, device configurations, and operation principles of image acquisition and display technologies and provides detailed use cases to give practical guidance on the various current and potential future applications of these technologies. The technology and the physics behind these devices can be grouped into three categories: optical technology, material science, and semiconductor device technology. This book enables readers to gain an understanding of these three areas in relation to the flow of image information and several example applications of the technology. Fujieda first describes the building blocks of image sensors and displays (detectors, light sources, transistors, and wavefront control devices) and their configurations, operation principles, and characteristics. He then describes in more detail image sensor technology (including MOS image sensors, CCD technologies, and X-ray and infrared imagers) and displays (including thin-film transistor arrays, LCDs, OLEDs, MEMS devices, and more). Finally, he provides real-world examples of how these technologies are used together to give the reader an understanding of their practical applications and their potential use in future devices. Some important laws in optics and definitions in color science are included for easy reference. Through this approach, the reader will gain a detailed understanding of each of the component parts of existing imaging devices and will be able to apply this to future developments within the field.
