This book is intended for researchers, engineers, and students who have an interest in designing acoustic sensing solutions on commodity devices. The authors provide an in-depth coverage of the basic building blocks, state-of-the-art algorithms for active acoustic sensing on commodity devices, design considerations, and novel applications they enable. The authors start by providing a comprehensive overview of diverse active acoustic sensing applications. They then discuss the fundamental acoustic signal processing and acoustic waveform design techniques. Finally, they delve deeply into three specific categories of acoustic sensing applications: aerial acoustic communication, spatial context awareness, and physiological and behavior sensing. Each category of applications is thoroughly examined, covering aspects such as motivation, problem setup, existing solutions, case studies, and open problems. Additionally, the authors provide reference implementations of key algorithms discussed in the book.Provides fundamental knowledge on designing acoustic sensing solutions for commodity devices;Includes state-of-the-art practices and research on acoustic sensing and results in the field;Features reference implementation of key algorithms.

This book lays out the theoretical foundation of the so-called multi-armed bandit (MAB) problems and puts it in the context of resource management in wireless networks. Part I of the book presents the formulations, algorithms and performance of three forms of MAB problems, namely, stochastic, Markov and adversarial. Covering all three forms of MAB problems makes this book unique in the field. Part II of the book provides detailed discussions of representative applications of the sequential learning framework in cognitive radio networks, wireless LANs and wireless mesh networks. Both individuals in industry and those in the wireless research community will benefit from this comprehensive and timely treatment of these topics. Advanced-level students studying communications engineering and networks will also find the content valuable and accessible.

This book covers fundamental principles and numerical methods relevant to the modeling of the injection molding process. As injection molding processing is related to rheology, mechanical and chemical engineering, polymer science and computational methods, and is a rapidly growing field, the book provides a multidisciplinary and comprehensive introduction to the subjects required for an understanding of the complex process. It addresses the up-to-date status of fundamental understanding and simulation technologies, without losing sight of still useful classical approaches. The main chapters of the book are devoted to the currently active fields of flow-induced crystallization and orientation evolution of fiber suspensions, respectively, followed by detailed discussion of their effects on mechanical property, shrinkage and warpage of injection-molded products. The level of the proposed book will be suitable for interested scientists, R&D engineers, application engineers, and graduate students in engineering.
