An initial top-level view of a Space Elevator concept through space systems architecture and space systems engineering. A first step in an aggressive development program to build a Space Elevator.

This book aims at providing basic technical information to the builders and architects which they normally seek from consultants. The content of this book is also expected to provide basic elevator knowledge to the students, particularly future Engineers, builders and architects. It is also my aim to help the employees of elevator companies, to get to know the elevators fully. Currently students do not get the opportunity to study about elevators. This book could lay the foundation for introducing " Basics of Elevator technology" as an elective subject. It is the author‟s belief that the civil, mechanical, Electrical or Electronic engineers & Architects who have done an elective in elevator engineering would find it easy to get absorbed in the Elevator industry. This book may also be a source of knowledge for the common man who manages housing societies. This book features Foreword from Mr Malhotra the former Managing Director of OTIS India and Mr Leandre Adifon the former Vice President of OTIS Worldwide Engineering, USA which justifies the value of this book.

This second edition of this well-respected book covers all aspects of the traffic design and control of vertical transportation systems in buildings, making it an essential reference for vertical transportation engineers, other members of the design team, and researchers.

This book addresses the various challenges and open questions relating to CAN communication networks. Opening with a short introduction into the fundamentals of CAN, the book then examines the problems and solutions for the physical layout of networks, including EMC issues and topology layout. Additionally, a discussion of quality issues with a particular focus on test techniques is presented. Each chapter features a collection of illuminating insights and detailed technical information supplied by a selection of internationally-regarded experts from industry and academia. Features: presents thorough coverage of architectures, implementations and application of CAN transceiver, data link layer and so-called higher layer software; explains CAN EMC characteristics and countermeasures, as well as how to design CAN networks; demonstrates how to practically apply and test CAN systems; includes examples of real networks from diverse applications in automotive engineering, avionics, and home heating technology.
