Today's Technician

Today's Technician Medium and Heavy Duty Truck Electricity and Electronics is a two-set manual providing students with an understanding of the various electronic systems at work in today's medium and heavy duty trucks. The classroom manual is intended for a lecture setting, while the shop manual will give the student real-world, practical application procedures and guidance in a shop setting. Written as a comprehensive set, both manuals cover the fundamentals of electricity and then relate it to all facets of truck electrical systems including; batteries, starting systems, charging systems, lighting systems, electrical accessories, instrumentation, ignition, and engine and vehicle computers.(KEY WORDS:

The Pic Microcontroller

John Morton
offers a uniquely concise and practical guide to getting up and running with the PIC Microcontroller. The PIC is one of the most popular of the microcontrollers that are transforming electronic project work and product design, and this book is the ideal introduction for students, teachers, technicians and electronics enthusiasts. Assuming no prior knowledge of microcontrollers and introducing the PIC Microcontroller`s capabilities through simple projects, this book is ideal for electronics hobbyists, students, school pupils and technicians. The step-by-step explanations and the useful projects make it ideal for student and pupil self-study: this is not just a reference book - you start work with the PIC microcontroller straight away.
The revised third edition focuses entirely on the re-programmable flash PIC microcontrollers such as the PIC16F54, PIC16F84 and the extraordinary 8-pin PIC12F508 and PIC12F675 devices.

Crystal Clear

Crystal Clear
chronicles a critical episode in both military and electronics history --- the difficult creation of reliable quartz crystal frequency control units for radio communications during World War II. As a reliable means of controlling the frequencies of radio transmitters and receivers, the quartz crystal oscillator was quickly accepted by amateur radio hobbyists after its initial development in the late 1920s. The military declined to adopt this technology until just prior to WW II resulting in no mass production industry to produce this extremely high precision electronic component. As war engulfed the world, the U.S. Army Signal Corps found itself in the dangerous position of having gambled the integrity of its communications equipment on a component which could not possibly be produced in the quantities immediately needed.
At its broadest, this book explores the ways in which civilian and military specialists interacted under wartime... Crystal Clear
