Electrical and Electronic Engineering Design Series Volume 3This university level Electrical Engineering text is for anyone who wants to know how to design products using digital logic circuits. The present text is unusually accessible to readers who want to acquire the skills of digital design. We present a thorough foundation so that you can proceed to learn how to design any digital system.This text is different from the many introductory digital design texts, because we actually design a product by implementing a design and not just talk about logic circuits used in a digital circuit. And, we ask you to work hard doing experiments so that you acquire real world experience with commercially available digital circuits. In other words this is about real learning.We start at the beginning by presenting a top down design method for digital systems.We learn about three basic tools necessary to execute any digital design - Truth Tables, Karnaugh maps, and Switching Algebra.The basic circuits of digital logic are building blocks without memory. They are standard commercially available logic circuits, which are described and their equations are presented. We only use standard products. Furthermore we show how to use mixed logic that simplifies digital design.The ASM (algorithmic state machine) chart, a fourth tool, is the preferred way to implement the algorithm representing the product you want to design. We show how to implement ASM charts, derive truth tables from them, and how to convert the truth tables to digital circuits. The ASM-chart-to-product process is straightforward.The design of complex building blocks with memory is based on elementary blocks with one bit memory also known as flip-flops. Designs are implemented by the ASM method. We show how to use ASM's to design up and up/down synchronous counters, shift registers, and linear feedback shift registers using standard products.This is followed by showing how to design memory systems with and without a cache hierarchy. We explain, and then show how to add error correction and control to the memory system. ASM charts and associated timing diagrams allow us to readily implement the designs. These are charts and timing diagrams we have not found anywhere else.A computer has two basic parts - computer control and a datapath for executing instructions. We define a user instruction set (uI), the uI address modes, and how the uI are formatted as binary words. Status bits NCZV and their condition codes that implement program control are defined. We show how each uI is represented by a list of micro instructions mI that is executed by the datapath, and how the datapath executes the mI.For large circuit designs text capture of digital designs is preferred to schematic capture. Verilog uses text capture to represent digital circuits with a hierarchy of modules that are interconnected via input and output ports. We show by example how to write modules defining digital circuits so that you can move on to multi 1,000 gate chip designs using Verilog, which is a hardware description language (HDL).The presentations are eminently clear, because they are based on the policies assume nothing and nothing is obvious.The present text's contents are topics one actually uses when engaged in digital circuit analysis and design.Eight experiments are included that give life to the text's contents, and provide the reader with real world experience with making measurements, using instruments, and learning about all kinds of parts. We consider the experiments to be significant learning activities.

This university level text is for anyone who wants to know how to analyze and, in time, design electric and then electronic circuits with transistors in the next text in our series.The text includes experiments that give life to the text's contents, and provide you with real world experience.\This text gets the EE101 job done in about 300 pages at a reasonable price.Once you have made your way through this text you will be able to do a node or mesh analysis of any linear circuit, while understanding resistors R, capacitors C, inductors L, transformers & mutual inductance M, as well as independent and dependent sources of current and voltage.Furthermore design examples and procedures begin to show you the way to what really matters - being able to design.You do not have to know anything about electricity to use this text, because the text starts with the brilliant experiments that discovered electricity, which revealed that electricity is charge q at rest and in motion. The experiments started up what has become the electronics business.Then we show that there are two basic classes of laws (1) connection constraints, which are Kirchhoffs' laws showing how currents and voltages in any circuit relate to each other and (2) voltage-current vi constraints for resistors, capacitors and inductors showing how current relates to voltage in each component.We explain capacitors C and inductors L as we derive their simple differential equation voltage-current constraints, which escalate the math required to the calculus.Transformers based on mutual inductance M are explained as we derive their equivalent circuits and frequency response.Two general analysis methods, node and mesh, are presented so that you can analyze any circuit. The node method is based on Kirchhoff's current connection constraint law, and the mesh method is based on Kirchhoff's voltage connection constraint law.We show how to use the Laplace Transform Method to find any circuit's frequency response as well as the transient response. We show how straightforward the Laplace Transform is to use. Frequency responses are important, because many circuit design goals are a specified over a range of frequencies.Transient response shows how a circuit responds to signals. Hendrick Bode invented a widely adopted method for making graphical displays of the magnitude and phase of the electric circuit frequency response equations generated by the Laplace Transform.Here is something we have yet to see in any book. The reactance chart is a graphical display of the impedance magnitude of R, L, and C components over a frequency range. The log-log scales span many decades of magnitude and frequency on one page. We show how to use this eminently practical chart for making estimates and selecting "in the ballpark" values for components appropriate to the problem at hand.We give the simulation program Spice a significant role in the text. Spice does the nitty gritty numerical calculations and data plotting for you. Spice is used in most chapters to calculate results and plot data. Spice has an important role in the modern design process.Many useful ideas and important topics are found in the Appendix.The good news is that a mathematical theory for analysis and synthesis is available. The mathematics takes several forms. There is the traditional form of written mathematics. There is Spice, a software form, using mathematics behind the scenes to evaluate circuit performance. And, there are Bode diagrams and Reactance charts that are graphical forms that convert electric circuit mathematics into comprehensible displays. We use all of these forms in the text.
Curt Dalton writes about 10 incredible, but true, stories of Dayton murders that took place during the city's first one hundred years, including...* John McAfee, whose murder of his wife and affair with the girl next door still lives on in song nearly two hundred years later* Francis Dick, who bludgeoned his mother-in-law in an attempt to win back his wife* John Dobbins, a Civil War deserter who danced a "hoe-down" on his way to the scaffold* James Murphy, the lieutenant of a Dayton street gang, who was hung twice for his crimes... and more tales of murder, violence and suicide from the Gem City.
Sometimes people follow what they think is the right pathway for their lives only to find at the end of that season or path, it is full of vanity, regrets, little substance, or peace of mind. They question themselves at times, not really sure if they are completing their life's true assignment. As well, there might be others that could be on their pathway to their true life's assignment, but there is still a question whether they are completing it in its fullness. This is not an unusual thing, but rather this dichotomy is always a part of our road to success. In Prophet Rick's book you will learn how to not only identify your life's assignment, but you will learn how to master your world by activating your prophetic destiny.
I faced an impossible challenge, a frustration beyond any I had faced in twenty years, and I survived it because of the encouraging words of my friends. Located within the pages of this book are some of those words, and my own, telling my feelings, how I nearly drowned in the flood that carried away everything that I had. Or so I thought...
Kwirky yet truthful and sometimes sarcastic, random nuggets to get you through your day, your current situation, and even the tangled webs we tend to weave within our own minds. Each page stands alone and possesses it's own narrative. What to make of it? MsBoddie leaves that up to you, the audience. Her desire is that you find parts of yourself and even discover a new perspective on your own thoughts. Use it for a conversation peace or turn it into something more in a group setting. Most of all, enjoy the feel of every line you read and every emotion invoked.

Suppose that Satan has himself elected Mayor of a sleepy English seaside resort, on a pledge to clean up the streetwalkers, the beggars and the homeless. His methods are whimsical and quirky, but he knows villainy like he knows the back of his claw.Stood in his path are Helen, a tipsy transgender prostitute, Paul, an unemployed college teacher with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and a bunch of misfits that includes a poker-playing priest and an old-style rat-catcher. Should be no contest really. After all, the poor long-suffering author is murdered in Chapter Twenty-Two.But this dystopian and darkly comic fantasy novel defies logic and battles its way through low life crises and spoof horror to a hard-won happy ending. This is literary fiction, though not quite as we have been used to it. Try it now for a very unusual read.

If you can't see Mr Punch, that means he's right behind you. Now. Don't you dare look around.Elements of fantasy and mild horror, dark comedy and perverse optimism, mingle in these bizarre stories. Make sense of them at your peril. They are linked by such surreal figures as Tommy Flyblow, a philosophical tramp, and Mr Punch, a grinning psychopath who breaks into the 'real' world from childhood nightmares and the English seaside.Transgender bohemians, a Paraguayan giant anteater, Pepper's ghost, Jenny Greenteeth and a raving postmodernist street preacher could also turn up. Even bird-headed men seem at home in this warped but recognisable view of our appalling times.This book is for anyone not afraid to wonder what lies beyond the spectacle of normality. If you have a clue what's happening, you can explain it to such baffled observers as Tommy Flyblow, Cute Max and, of course, Caroline the dustbin man. Why not try your luck with it now?
We are all homeless beggars. Everybody is searching for comfort, money or love. Even you and I.But Martin is a gentle tramp on a strange quest. With his world in a rucksack, he roams England in pursuit of Care in the Community and of Old Stompy, the stuffed Patagonian giant sloth donated long ago to a museum by his eccentric grandfather. Let us follow his progress as he wheedles and bluffs, helps and hinders, uses and is used.He settles for now in Liverpool, where he is torn between three women. Kathy is his former teenage sweetheart, devious and alcoholic. Alison is a scruffy bisexual drop-out, loyal but accident-prone. Fran is a neurotic housewife, oddly convinced that life has a meaning. Worse still, Martin must survive the friendly advances of Mr Snowman and his gang of ham-fisted cocaine dealers.Over the unexpected resolution of these conflicts looms the smirking, bear-like, enigmatic figure of the giant sloth. Could Old Stompy know the answers? Perhaps true love, safety and the community are still out there. Try this unusual homeless romance to share in the search.
Donita: New York: The fires smoldered but no longer burned. Donita walked down Eighth Avenue towards Columbus Circle. Behind her a silent army followed, numbering in the thousands. From the circle they would take the park. There were thousands of the living camped out in the park. She could smell them on the air that flowed past her face as she walked. They had believed they were safe in their numbers. They had believed that nothing could touch them with their barricades. And for a time that had been true, but that time was passed now. She had left rapid city and begun her walk with only twenty-five faithful. Jeff, the big red haired man that she had taken months before, was still with her. One of the twins, and several boys who followed. The others had come to her as she walked. The small towns, and the dead cities along the way, added their contributions from those that had gathered in those places. Many waiting for her. There were dozens of cities they controlled now. Dotted along the route she had walked. Some she had called and set in a place of power with the ability to call more of their own to them. Some had been there waiting for her. All had known who she was, and all had bowed to her power.She had wound up through the southern states, what had been left of Mobile, Alabama had fallen easily, from there they had taken Atlanta, Georgia, and then into the Carolinas, Columbus, Charlotte, Durham, and spreading beyond that into Richmond, Virginia. She had followed the scent of the living from there into the wilderness and looked down on their place of refuge from the ridge tops with her soldiers spread out around her. She had left reluctantly, but with the knowledge that she would be back.A scatter of wrecked and long burned out vehicles partially blocked the entrance. A line of buses blocked the roads and pathways into the park. Sheet steel was welded over the windows. Holes burned through with Acetylene torches every few feet as gun ports.She watched as the barrel of a rifle slipped through a ragged hole in the sheet steel. She looked around at her silent army once more and then thrust her head back, face staring up at the moon, and screamed into the darkening night. As a mass they all ran at the line of buses.
Arlene's JournalIt's the night before the six will leave to go back to the outside. I think of it that way... The outside. This place is something I have never had. So much love, so much caring, it overwhelmed me for the first little while. That and the other. Having to kill a man. But it was worse for those who stayed behind when we made our way to this place. If they had not stayed to fight the rest of us would not have been able to get away. David told me what it had been like for them. They had to kill too. They had to kill children that were controlled like puppets. Deadly puppets to be sure, but a puppet is a puppet... a slave.And now we're sending them back out again into a world that can't be any better than it was. It's worse in some ways. We didn't have to deal with the dead. The radio tells us they have taken over most of the bigger cities. I just can't imagine it. But We're sending them out tomorrow, and all so that we can live a little better. Nothing that we absolutely have to have. We have everything we could ever need right here. But to live better. To live better we need other things. It makes me wonder if we have changed all that much after all. I hope it is not a move toward the old society. I really hope not. Enough negativity though. They're going. I voted yes too, and there are thing's they will bring back that I asked for too.On a lighter note I think almost every woman in the Nation is pregnant. I guess that's a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. Me, Patty, Candace, Lilly, Annie. Jane, Alice and Amber are pretty sure. There are so many more people here. It seems almost like we grow every week. Maybe we do, come to think of it. Oh and now Molly too, and I wonder who the father is? But how would I ask Molly without sounding too nosy or even insensitive? Babies and more Babies, and thank God for them. They are our real crop. We joke about that, how in a few weeks it will be time to bring in the corn and that's our crop, but our real business, our real crop, is babies.Sandy and Susan are thinking about it too, only they both want to get pregnant. They're trying to decide who goes first. God bless them.Some times I think I am a long way from my roots. In another respect it seems to me that I have spent my entire life trying to get to this place... This condition... And I am so glad that I am here.May God go with ours tomorrow as they go back to the outside. Keep them safe. Bring them right back to us.
