How to export data from XLS spreadsheet to 2D arrays with Spreadsheet SDK. This sample shows how to get data from XLS spreadsheet and export them to two-dimensional (2D) arrays in C# and Visual Basic .NET using Bytescout Spreadsheet SDK. using System; namespace Bytescout.Spreadsheet.Demo.Csharp.ExportTo2DArray{ class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { const string inputFile = @"StockPricesSpreadsheet.xls"; // Open and load spreadsheet Spreadsheet spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet(); spreadsheet.LoadFromFile(inputFile); // Get the data from the spreadsheet string[,] stockPrices = spreadsheet.ExportTo2DArray(); // Close spreadsheet spreadsheet.Close(); // Display data in data table for(int i = 0; i < stockPrices.GetLength(0); i++) { for(int j = 0; j < stockPrices.GetLength(1); j++) { Console.Write(stockPrices[i,j] + " "); } Console.WriteLine(); } // Pause Console.ReadLine(); } }}

Control engineering. Control engineering or control systems engineering is the engineering discipline that applies control theory to design systems with desired behaviors.

Control engineering

The practice uses sensors to measure the output performance of the device being controlled and those measurements can be used to give feedback to the input actuators that can make corrections toward desired performance. When a device is designed to perform without the need of human inputs for correction it is called automatic control (such as cruise control for regulating a car's speed). Multi-disciplinary in nature, control systems engineering activities focus on implementation of control systems mainly derived by mathematical modeling of systems of a diverse range. Overview[edit] History[edit] In his 1868 paper "On Governors", J. Control theory made significant strides in the next 100 years. Control theory[edit] Control systems[edit] In most of the cases, control engineers utilize feedback when designing control systems.

World of Microcontrollers - Chapter 1 - Book: PIC Microcontrollers - Programming in BASIC

It enabled us to store hundreds of thousands of transistors into one chip, which was a precondition for the manufacturing of microprocessors. The first computers were made by adding peripherals, such as memory, input/output lines, timers and other circuits, to it. Further increase in package density resulted in designing an integrated circuit which contained both processor and peripherals.

This is how the first chip with an integrated microcomputer, later known as the microcontroller, was developed. Novices in electronics usually think that the microcontroller is the same as the microprocessor. On the other hand, the microcontroller is designed to be all of that in one. Microcontrollers are very popular nowadays.

Introducing the Particle-Beam Weapon

Richard M. Roberds CONSIDERABLE debate has been stirred Cby President Reagan's recent suggestion that the United States embark on a program that would use advanced-technology weaponry to produce an effective defense against Soviet ICBMS. On the one hand, critics argue that the idea of a defensive system that would neutralize the ICBM threat is naive and, at best, would require large expenditures in the development of a very "high-risk" technology.

The advanced technology that has raised the possibility of defeating an ICBM attack is referred to collectively as directed-energy weapons, which gain their unprecedented lethality from several fundamental characteristics. There are three principal forms of directed-energy weapons: the directed microwave-energy weapon, the high-energy laser, and the particle-beam. In contrast, the particle-beam weapon (PBW) has been the "sleeper" among directed-energy weapons until very recently. Lethality Notes.
