All papers including in this proceedings had undergone the strict peer-review by the experts before they are accepted for publications. This proceeding covers the subjects of analog circuits and digital circuits, assembly and packaging, biomedical circuits, computer architecture, computer engineering, control engineering, electric power system and automation, energy and power systems, instrumentation engineering, signal processing and other related areas. We hope this proceeding will contribute in stimulating debate and research among scholars, researchers and academicians. CEEE 2014 is to provide a forum for researchers, academicians, engineers, and government officials from all over the world to involved in the general areas of Electronics and Electrical Engineering to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views on the future research directions of these fields.This conference provides opportunities for the participants to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face.

This special volume aims to bring together the latest advances in, and applications of, surface engineering/coatings, modeling, analysis and simulation, materials forming, materials machining, welding and joining, laser-processing technology, casting and solidification, precision manufacturing technology and measurements, etc. It will not only furnish readers with a broad overview of the latest advances, but also provide a valuable summary and reference work for researchers in this field.

The post-industrial societies' demand for more information processing and communication is a challenge to modern technology.This workshop is the first forum in Italy fully devoted to the advanced materials for opto-electronic and photonic device applications.The volume contains selected papers presented at the workshop and provide an updated overview by leading Italian public and private research groups on the state-of-the-art developments in crystal growth, tailoring and characterization of a large class of materials, namely semiconductors, glasses, polymers and organic molecules.Internationally recognized scientists on materials science have contributed to the workshop and their contributions have been reported in this volume.

This book describes LSI process technology, and focuses on the rapid progress of state-of-the-art dynamic random access memory (DRAM) process technologies—the longstanding technology driver of Si ULSI—as they advance from the 1 Kbit to the Gbit DRAM era.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a manufacturing process that has emerged as a viable technology for the production of engineering components. The aspects associated with additive manufacturing, such as less material wastage, ease of manufacturing, less human involvement, fewer tool and fixture requirements, and less post-processing, make the process sustainable for industrial use. Further, this new technology has led to highly optimized product characteristics and functional aspects. This textbook introduces the basics of this new additive manufacturing technology to individuals who will be involved in the grand spectrum of manufacturing finished products. Fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing Technology: Principles, Technologies, and Applications provides knowledge and insight into various aspects of AM and deals with the basics, categories, materials, tooling, and equipment used. It presents a classified and complete description of the most common and recently developed additive manufacturing methods with applications, solved examples, and review questions. This textbook also emphasizes the fundamentals of the process, its capabilities, typical applications, advantages, and limitations, and also discusses the challenges, needs, and general recommendations for additive manufacturing. This fundamental textbook is written specifically for undergraduates in manufacturing, mechanical, industrial, and materials engineering disciplines for courses in manufacturing technology taught in engineering colleges and institutions all over the world. It also covers the needs of production and manufacturing engineers and technologists participating in related industries. Additionally, the textbook can be used by students in other disciplines concerned with design and manufacturing, such as automotive, biomedical, and aerospace engineering.
