As we all know by now, wireless networks offer many advantages over fixed (or wired) networks. Foremost on that list is mobility, since going wireless frees you from the tether of an Ethernet cable at a desk. But that's just the tip of the cable-free iceberg. Wireless networks are also more flexible, faster and easier for you to use, and more affordable to deploy and maintain.The de facto standard for wireless networking is the 802.11 protocol, which includes Wi-Fi (the wireless standard k...

This open access book discusses “slow electronics”, the study of devices processing signals with low frequencies. Computers have the remarkable ability to process data at high speeds, but they encounter difficulties when handling signals with low frequencies of less than ~100Hz. They unexpectedly require a substantial amount of energy. This poses a challenge for such as biomedical wearables and environmental monitors that need real-time processing of slow signals, especially in energy-limi...
