Building a Programmable Logic Controller with a PIC16F648A Microcontroller

Building a Programmable Logic Controller with a PIC16F648A Microcontroller

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are extensively used in industry to perform automation tasks with manufacturers offering a variety of PLCs that differ in functions program memories and the number of inputs/outputs (I/O). Not surprisingly the design and implementation of these PLCs have long been a secret of manufacturers. Unveiling the mysteries of PLC technology Building a Programmable Logic Controller with PIC16F648A Microcontroller explains how to design and use a PIC16F648A-microcontroller-based PLC. The author first described a microcontroller-based implementation of a PLC in a series of articles published in Electronics World magazine between 2008 and 2010. This book is based on an improved version of the project including:Updates to the hardware configuration with a smaller CPU board and two I/O extension boards that now support 16 inputs and 16 outputs instead of 8An increased clock frequency of 20 MHzImprovements to several macrosFlowcharts to help you understand the macros (functions)In this book the author provides detailed explanations of hardware and software structures. He also describes PIC Assembly macros for all basic PLC functions which are illustrated with numerous examples and flowcharts. An accompanying downloadable resources contain source files (. ASM) and object files (. HEX) for all of the examples in the book. It also supplies printed circuit board (PCB) (Gerber and . pdf) files so that you can have the CPU board and I/O extension boards produced by a PCB manufacturer or produce your own boards. Making PLCs more easily accessible this unique book is written for advanced students practicing engineers and hobbyists who want to learn how to build their own microcontroller-based PLC. It assumes some previous knowledge of digital logic design microcontrollers and PLCs as well as familiarity with the PIC16F series of microcontrollers and w | Building a Programmable Logic Controller with a PIC16F648A Microcontroller

Cannabis A Complete Guide

Cannabis A Complete Guide

Cannabis sativa is best known as the source of marijuana the world’s most widely consumed illicit recreational drug. However the plant is also extremely useful as a source of stem fiber edible seed oil and medicinal compounds all of which are undergoing extremely promising research technological applications and business investment. Indeed despite its capacity for harm as a recreational drug cannabis has phenomenal potential for providing new products to benefit society and for generating extensive employment and huge profits. Misguided policies until recently have prevented legitimate research on the beneficial properties of cannabis but there is now an explosion of societal scientific and political support to reappraise and remove some of the barriers to usage. Unfortunately there is also a corresponding dearth of objective analysis. Towards redressing the limitation of information Cannabis: A Complete Guide is a comprehensive reference summarizing botanical business chemical ecological genetic historical horticultural legal and medical considerations that are critical for the wise advancement and management of cannabis in its various forms. This book documents both the risks and benefits of what is indisputably one of the world’s most important species. The conflicting claims for medicinal virtues and toxicological vices are examined based mainly on the most recent authoritative scientific reviews. The attempt is made consistently to reflect majority scientific opinion although many aspects of cannabis are controversial. Aside from the relevance to specialists the general public should find the presentation attractive because of the huge interest today in marijuana. Unfortunately society has become so specialized and compartmentalized that most people have limited appreciation of the importance of science to their lives except when a topic like marijuana becomes sensationalized. This review of cannabis can serve as a vehicle for public education in the realm of science and technology. Indeed towards the goal of disseminating the important information in this book to a wide audience the presentation is user-friendly concise and well-illustrated in the hope that non-specialists will find the topics both informative and entertaining. | Cannabis A Complete Guide

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Searching for a needle in a haystack is an important task in several contexts of data analysis and decision-making. Examples include identifying the insider threat within an organization the prediction of failure in industrial production or pinpointing the unique signature of a solo perpetrator such as a school shooter or a lone wolf terrorist. It is a challenge different from that of identifying a rare event (e. g. a tsunami) or detecting anomalies because the needle is not easily distinguished from the haystack. This challenging context is imbued with particular difficulties from the lack of sufficient data to train a machine learning model through the identification of the relevant features and up to the painful price of false alarms which might cause us to question the relevance of machine learning solutions even if they perform well according to common performance criteria. In this book Prof. Neuman approaches the problem of finding the needle by specifically focusing on the human factor from solo perpetrators to insider threats. Providing for the first time a deep critical multidimensional and methodological analysis of the challenge the book offers data scientists and decision makers a deep scientific foundational approach combined with a pragmatic practical approach that may guide them in searching for a needle in a haystack. | How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators
