xxxvi Introduction
Chapter 14 provides a cursory introduction to vacuum tubes. This is a well docu-
mented topic so only a brief description of these devices is provided.
Chapter 15 discusses sensors and there application. Sensors are the way we mon-
itor the technology significant world that surrounds us. This chapter reviews various
sensors and how their detections can be converted into electrical signals.
Chapter 16 briefly discusses the world of electrostatics. Electrostatics is the study
of electrical energy at rest. For the most part, individuals that are involved with elec-
trostatics are dealing with high voltage and the particulars involved with that pursuit.
Chapter 17 reviews a few common electromechnical movements and assemblies
that aren’t covered in the previous chapters.
Chapter 18 is a review of electrical schematics and how to use them. A complete
list of standard symbols and a discussion of standard methodologies are provided. In
addition, a review of representational schematics is provided.
