The life and work of the scientists who had units of measure named after them. Taking each scientist in chronological order, the book traces some of the key developments in physical science - astronomy, electricity and heat - during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, and shows how those units form a coherent system of measurements - the SI.

Electromagnetic Compatibility of Integrated Circuits: Techniques for Low Emission and Susceptibility
<p><i><b>Electromagnetic Compatibility of Integrated Circuits: Techniques for Low Emission and Susceptibility</b></i> focuses on the electromagnetic compatibility of integrated circuits. The basic concepts, theory, and an extensive historical review of integrated circuit emission and susceptibility are provided. Standardized measurement methods are detailed through various case studies. EMC models for the core, I/Os, supply network, and packaging are described with applications to conducted switching noise, signal integrity, near-field and radiated noise. Case studies from different companies and research laboratories are presented with in-depth descriptions of the ICs, test set-ups, and comparisons between measurements and simulations. Specific guidelines for achieving low emission and susceptibility derived from the experience of EMC experts are presented. </p>
