This book teaches the basics of using the micro:bit, an open source hardware ARM-based embedded system used to teach computer programming, to build a series of 10 different gadgets from scratch. Author Eric Hagan shows how simple electrical devices like speakers, motors, buzzers and fans work, and explains electronic components like resistors, force resistors, photoresistors, LEDs, and Op Amps, as well as Infrared distance sensors and soil moisture sensors. The book also takes a beginner's look at micropython, one of the fastest-growing computer languages. Projects in this book combine multiple disciplines -- electronics, programming, and engineering -- to build a series of successful gadgets.

The premise of this book is that component-based applications make it easier to navigate code bases, implement new features, and keep tests fast. Writing for programmers and software team leads who are comfortable with Ruby and Rails, author Stephan Hagemann introduces a practical, start-to-finish methodology for modernizing and restructuring existing Rails applications. One step at a time, he demonstrates how to revamp Rails applications to exhibit visible, provably independent, and explicitly connected parts – thereby simplifying them and making them far easier for teams to manage, change, and test. Throughout, he introduces design concepts and techniques you can use to improve applications of many kinds, even if they weren’t built with Rails or Ruby.

This book shows how to get to grips with Hidden Markov Models and different inference algorithms by working on real-world problems. It covers Markov processes, models, and types, the different algorithms used in inferences and how to apply them in state and parameter inference. Use of HMMs in time series analysis and natural language processing (NLP) using Python is also covered, as well as the use of HMM for reinforcement learning with the help of Q-Learning. Ankur Ankan and Abinash Panda use hands-on examples to simplify the process flow in machine learning by using Markov model concepts.

Part of the Cyber Physical Systems Series, this is the second edition of a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice of model checking, covering the foundations of the key algorithms in depth. Author Edmund M. Clark, Jr was one of the developers of the technique, in which algorithms are used to work out whether an abstract model―representing, for example, a hardware or software design―satisfies a formal specification expressed as a temporal logic formula.

This book starts by showing you the fundamentals of the Robot Operating System (ROS) robotics software framework to illustrate the basics of differential robots. Author Lentin Joseph then covers robot modeling and how to design and simulate it using ROS. He then looks at how to design robot hardware and interfacing actuators, and how to configure and program depth sensors and LIDARs using ROS. Finally, instructions are given on creating a GUI for a robot using the Qt framework.
