Building a Virtual Assistant for Raspberry Pi: The practical guide for constructing a voice-controlled virtual assistant

By Tanay Pant / 2016 / 109 pages

Build a voice-controlled virtual assistant using text-to-speech engines, text-to-speech engines, and chat units. This book shows you how to program a virtual assistant to collect data from the Internet (weather data, data from Wikipedia, extract data); play music and take notes. Each chapter covers building a project / mini-module to make the default plugin better. You will develop the software on Linux or OS X before transferring it to Raspberry Pi, ready for deployment in home automation or Internet of Things applications.

Cost Analysis Of Electronics Systems

By Peter Sandborn / 2017 / 546 pages

This book provides an introduction to cost modeling for electronic systems suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in electrical, mechanical and industrial engineering and professionals involved in the development and management of electronics technology. This book combines the elements of the traditional engineering economy with the manufacturing process and the concepts of cost-of-life management to form a practical basis for predicting the cost of electronic products and systems. Different cost analysis methods are processed including process flow, boundary, cost of ownership, and cost of the activity. The effects of learning curves, uncertainty in data, testing, rework and defects are taken into account. The aspects of system sustainability and lifecycle cost modeling including reliability (warranty, combustion), maintenance (savings and availability), and obsolescence are addressed. Finally, the total cost of system ownership, return on investment, cost and benefit analysis, and analysis of real options are addressed.

Electric Power Distribution Handbook

By Thomas Allen Short / 2014 / 900 pages

Of the -Big Three- components of electrical infrastructure, distribution usually gets the least attention. In fact, a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the subject has not been published for years, but deregulation and technical changes have increased the need for better information. To fill this void, the Power Distribution Guide provides comprehensive and sophisticated coverage of the electrical aspects of power distribution systems. The first few chapters of this practical guide focus on equipment-oriented information and applications, such as the selection of transformer connections, resizing and placing capacitors, and the status of regulators. The middle part discusses reliability and energy quality, while the end addresses lightning protection, ground, and safety.
