Когда и где впервые появились железные дороги, кто придумал первый паровоз и почему его поначалу называли «пароходом», какую роль железные дороги играли в тяжелые для страны времена, как строили Великую Сибирскую магистраль и БАМ, как прокладывали под землей первые линии метро и какие удивительные высокоскоростные поезда мчатся сегодня по стальным магистралям России — обо всем этом расскажет книга "Мчится поезд".

В этой книге представлен полный обзор современного состояния низковольтных регуляторов с внутренней компенсацией (IC-LDO). Она послужит полезным руководством для конструкторов схем. Выделены преимущества и недостатки каждого предложенного элемента. Авторы описывают альтернативу классической топологии - перевернутый стабилизатор напряжения (FVF), который недавно применяется при разработке LDO с внутренней компенсацией для повышения их характеристик.

This book describes parallel power electronic filters for 3-phase 4-wire systems, focusing on the control, design and system operation. It presents the basics of power-electronics techniques applied in power systems as well as the advanced techniques in controlling, implementing and designing parallel power electronics converters.

Ham radio, or amateur radio, is a way to talk with people around the world in real-time, or to send email without any sort of internet connection. It provides a way to keep in touch with friends and family, whether they are across town or across the country. It is also a very important emergency communication system. When cell phones, landlines, the internet, and other systems are down or overloaded, Amateur Radio still gets the message through. Radio amateurs, often called "hams," enjoy radio technology as a hobby, but are often called upon to provide vital service when regular communications systems fail.
