Good design and management of automotive electronics and software provides a strong competitive advantage. Electronics are driving current innovations but must be introduced in the vehicle without compromising the final price tag. At the same time electronics has to compete with, and win over, the dependability of proven mechanical solutions. This book provides a broad perspective on the topic of Architecting and Modeling Automotive Embedded Systems to help improve costs and dependability by understanding technologies, methods and management. An overview of applications and technologies of automotive electronics is given, together with a deeper discussion on the cost- efficiency and dependability requirements posed on automotive systems....

The Archimedes screw, also known as Archimedes' screw, the Archimedean screw or the screwpump is a machine historically used for transferring water from a low-lying body of water into irrigation ditches. It was one of several inventions and discoveries traditionally attributed to Archimedes in the 3rd century BC. The Archimedes' Screw consists of a screw inside a hollow pipe. The screw is turned usually by a windmill or by manual labor. As the bottom end of the tube turns, it scoops up a volume of water. This amount of water will slide up in the spiral tube as the shaft is turned, until it finally pours out from...

Armed helicopters differ from attack helicopters in that armed helicopters were previously designed for other tactical uses, such as utility, cargo, reconnaissance, etc., and the weapons mounts are modifications, rather than part of the design of the helicopter. The purpose of the modification to an armed helicopter configuration can be field expediency during combat, the lack of military funding to develop or purchase attack helicopters, or the need to maintain the helicopter for missions that do not require the weapons.
