Auto Repair For Dummies

Book Description
Most of us don’t know the first thing about the machines we’re licensed to drive – and this can turn a ticket to freedom into a ticket to trouble. If you’re like most people, you probably tend to drive around until something goes wrong with the car. You then incur the expense of replacing worn and burnt-out parts (or the entire engine) when low-cost, regular maintenance could have kept your wheels turning for a long time.

Auto Repair For Dummies is indispensable for anyone who is tired of nodding and smiling at the incomprehensible mutterings of your mechanic, only to end up shelling out money for repairs that you neither fully understand nor always need. This easy-to-understand guide is also for you if you

  • Don't have the vaguest idea of how a car works.
  • Can't identify anything you see under the hood of your vehicle.
  • Are tired of other people assuming (especially if you’re a teenager or a woman) that you aren’t capable of handling repairs yourself.
  • Don't want to feel helpless in an emergency.
  • Are tired of being ripped off because of your own ignorance.

This book shows you how your car works; what it needs in the way of tender loving care; and how to keep from being overcharged if you need to entrust repairs to someone else. Auto Repair For Dummies also gives you the scoop on these topics and more:

  • What makes your vehicle go (and how and why)
  • A program of "preventive medicine" to avoid trouble
  • Shopping for tools and knowing how to use them
  • Diesel engines and alternatively powered cars
  • How to keep your car looking its best
  • Dealing with on-road emergencies
  • Checking your tires, alignment, and steering
By handling the simple maintenance and tune-ups and being able to diagnose trouble and perform the less complex repairs yourself, you’ll save some serious money. Once you break the ice (or crack open the hood), the heady sense of power will carry you through basic car repair and maintenance with confidence and ease.

Printed Circuit Board Designer's Reference


From the Back Cover
  • PCB design instruction and reference manual, all in one book!
  • In-depth explanation of the processes and tools used in modern PCB design
  • Standards, formulas, definitions, and procedures, plus software to tie it all together

Buy it to learn, but keep it as a valued reference tool!

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) literally form the backbone of electronic devices. The electronics industry continues its spread into every aspect of modern life, yet surprisingly little written material exists about PCB standards and design. At the same time, the industry is beginning to feel the effects of a lack of new designers entering the field! To address this situation, PCB design authority Christopher T. Robertson wrote Printed Circuit Board Designer's Reference: Basics.

This book teaches the essentials of PCB design—the same standards and techniques used in the field, but collected in one place. You'll learn most of the key design techniques in use today, and be in the perfect position to learn the more advanced methods when you're ready. On the job, Printed Circuit Board Designer's Reference: Basics will continue to serve as an indispensable reference source filled with tables, charts, and task checklists you'll definitely want to keep on hand. Rounding out the book is a valuable software package DR Resource (Designer's Reference Resource) a multifunction calculator that manages the day-to-day activities of the PCB designer, performs project management functions, and keeps vital documentation and standards data right at your fingertips. Inside you'll find:

  • Thorough coverage of PCB design tools and techniques
  • Tools for everyday calculations, useful tables, quick reference charts, and a full checklist covering the entire design process
  • Clear explanations of where values come from, how to use and adjust them, and much more

This book was written for new designers looking for a solid foundation in PCB design, although designers with more experience will find the reference material, software, and explanations of the values that manufacturers use invaluable as well.

Among the topics covered are basic op amp physics (including reviews of current and voltage division, Thevenin's theorem, and transistor models), idealized op amp operation and configuration, feedback theory and methods, single and dual supply operation, understanding op amp parameters, minimizing noise in op amp circuits, and practical applications such as instrumentation amplifiers, signal conditioning, oscillators, active filters, load and level conversions, and analog computing. There is also extensive coverage of circuit construction techniques, including circuit board design, grounding, input and output isolation, using decoupling capacitors, and frequency characteristics of passive components. The material in this book is applicable to all op amp ICs from all manufacturers, not just TI. Unlike textbook treatments of op amp theory that tend to focus on idealized op amp models and configuration, this title uses idealized models only when necessary to explain op amp theory. The bulk of this book is on real-world op amps and their applications; considerations such as thermal effects, circuit noise, circuit buffering, selection of appropriate op amps for a given application, and unexpected effects in passive components are all discussed in detail.

*Published in conjunction with Texas Instruments
*A single volume, professional-level guide to op amp theory and applications
*Covers circuit board layout techniques for manufacturing op amp circuits.

This handbook gives an excellent overview of soldering in general and wavesoldering and reflowsoldering in particular. It presents the information in a readable text that any educated person could understand. This is a must book for all engineering libraries and recommended book for most public libraries' E-Streams, Vol. 3, No 4 'This is a book well worth having on one's shelf in these days of rapid changes and economic stringency.' Wallace Rubin 'I would very strongly recommend it on the bookshelf of every production engineer or manager involved with soldering surface mount devices. It is very good value for money and very informative.' Brian Ellis, Soldering and Surface Mount Technology ' Help in planning manufacturing strategy and in making purchasing desisions relating to consumables and equipment.
Book Description
Surface Mount Technology has had a profound influence on the electronics industry, and has led to the use of new materials, techniques and manufacturing processes. Since the first edition of this book was written, electronic assemblies have continued to become still smaller and more complex, while soldering still remains the dominant connecting technique. This is a comprehensive guide to current methods of soldering components to their substrates, written by one of the founding fathers of the technology. It also covers component placement, the post-CFC technology of cleaning after soldering, and the principles and methods of quality control and rework. New sections deal with Ball-Grid-Array (BGA) technology, lead-free solders, no-clean fluxes, and the current standard specifications for solders and fluxes.



Dr Rudolf Strauss has spent most of his working life with a leading manufacturer of solders and fluxes. He was responsible for a number of innovations including the concept of wave soldering, and for many years has been active as lecturer, consultant, and technical author.

His book explains the principles of soldering and surface mount technology in practical terms and plain language, free from jargon. It is addressed to the man, or woman, who has to do the job, but it will also be of help in planning manufacturing strategy and in making purchasing decisions relating to consumables and equipment.

USB Design by Example: A Practical Guide to Building I/O Devices

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification is a boon for users in that it makes the process of connecting peripherals to computers effortless, in most cases. As is often the case with user-friendliness, though, the cosmetic ease comes about as a result of behind-the-scenes complexity. USB Design by Example explains what USB means to hardware developers, taking an approach that combines academic elucidation of the official specification with some experimental setups. Though not everything a hardware developer could wish for, John Hyde's explanations represent a valuable supplement to the notably obtuse specification documents.

This book does a good job of explaining USB input/output from both the hardware and software perspectives. You'll find both driver code and pinout diagrams here. All the software information has to do with the IBM-compatible PC platform and the Windows 98 operating system, so Macintosh developers will have to look elsewhere. Some of Hyde's explanations of how various hardware companies solved USB problems--Symbol Technologies' use of a keyboard emulator for its barcode scanners, for example--are intriguing, but more information (in the form of circuit diagrams, preferably) would be better. The clear explanation of what happens when a new device is plugged into a live USB bus is very intriguing, though. Overall, peripheral developers will find this book useful, but not encyclopedic. --David Wall

Topics covered: Universal Serial Bus (USB) architecture, packet contents, device detection, drivers and run-time software, and bridging older connection specifications (RS-232, parallel, SCSI and I2C) to USB.

Book Description
A complete, how-to guide to designing USB devices

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a new standard specification for PC peripherals that provides a uniform approach to developing products that work together seamlessly through a single, one-size-fits-all plug and port connection. Virtually all new PCs, and the iMac, now ship with USB ports. Written by an Intel insider, this practical, step-by-step guide uses fully documented examples to get developers up to speed on everything they need to know to design and program USB devices-from schematics and codes to prototypes. The book is specially formatted to serve as both a step-by-step manual for creating specific devices, and a complete reference to understanding and using the USB.

CD-ROM contains all the source code for the examples in the book, color versions of selected diagrams, photographs, and a link to the USB specification site.

Visual Basic 6.0 Vodič za programere

Microsoft VisualBasic predstavlja jedan od najpopularnijih programskih paketa za projektovanje softftvera za O.S. Windows 95/98/NT, ali i njegova verzija VisualBasic for Applications (VBA5/VBA6), koju je Microsoft ponudio kao razvojnu i integrativnu platformu za izuzetno popularne programe iz paketa MS Offfice 97/2000, je ono cime se VisualBasic izdvojio od ostalih paketa. Jednostavnost, koju ce ostali programerski paketi tesko prevazici, je jedan od razloga njegove sve vece popularnosti kod sirokog kruga korisnika PC-a pod O.S. Windows.
Prvi konkurent MS VisualBasic-u je MS Visual C++, ali je ovaj programerski paket namenjen za projektovanje aplikacija i programa najviseg nivoa, odnosno onih koji predstavljaju delove operativnog sistema. Microsoft ft korporacija je, za one koji ulaze u programerske vode i zele jednostavnost i lakocu u izradi aplikacija, upravo i ponudila VisualBasic, a za razvoj programskih paketa nalik na MS Offfice, rezervisalaMS Visual C++.
VisualBasic je od 1987 godine, kada je prvi put objavljena verzija VB4DOS (VisualBasic za DOS), prosao kroz mnoge verzije. Na nasim prostorima se nije ni culo za ovaj programski jezik do njegove verzije 3.0, koja je prvi put, nama "obicnim smrtnicima" ponudila pristup grafickim objektima i programiranju aplikacija za tadasnju verziju Windows-a (ver. 3.xx). Od tada se VisualBasic smatra najpopularnijim razvojnim okruzenjem za Windows aplikacije, prevazilazeci svoje konkurente iz firme Borland (Delphi-Pascal i Borland C++) po boljoj distribuciji i plasmanu na trzistu, a Visual C+ + po pristupacnijem okruzenju za one koji nemaju bas veliko iskustvo u programiranju, odnosno pristupaju ovom poslu kao hobiju ili iz zelje za avanturom.
Avanturisticki duh pristupa programiranju je toliko vazan koliko i za video igru, pa programera gotovo nikada necete zateci u igri, jer je programiranje za njega najzanimljivija igra. Sve vise igara za Windows okruzenje upravo se zasnivaju na programiranju procesa od starane igraca, a manje na destrukciji i sukobljavanju sa zamisljenim ili . Oni koji vole da svoj intelekt preokupiraju kreativnim mislima predstavljaju potencijalne programere.
