Now that "mobile" has become standard, the consumer not only expects mobility but demands longevity in wireless devices. As more and more features, computing power, and memory are packed into mobile devices such as iPods, cell phones, and cameras, there isa large and growing gap between what devices can do and the amount of energy batteries can deliver. In fact, the main limiting factor in many portable device designs is not hardware or software, but instead how much power can be delivered by a battery.
This book describes various design approaches to reduce the amount of power a circuit consumes and techniques to effectively manage the available power from a battery.
Olaf Breuning: Queen Mary
Most viewers will associate the Swiss artist Olaf Breuning with high-production-value film and photography projects, not low-tech, pointedly handmade work like these sketches. But on a recent trip from England to New York on board the ship The Queen Mary II, he sat down and made 73 direct, powerful and funny drawings. They combine memory with daydream, humor and subversion, and they concentrate the references to media, popular culture, and consumer dreams that appear in his multimedia work. Anthropomorphized lipsticks smile out and cute little mushroom clouds swirl up. So do fireworks, and a "Comfort Dragon" uses his many arms to carry a cell phone, radio, coffeepot and plant. Breuning's solo exhibition venues have included the Swiss Institute and Metro Pictures in New York, as well as other international galleries and museums.

Handbook of Genetic Influences on the Nervous System by Donald W. Pfaff, ISBN 0849326885
Utilizing the flood of new information deriving from the Human Genome Project and corresponding efforts to elucidate the mouse genome, the Handbook of Genetic Influences on the Nervous System provides a comprehensive catalog about relations between expression of specific genes and nerve cell biology and behavior, both normal and abnormal, in animals and humans. Topics addressed include genomic information of relevance to the nervous system; results of positional cloning studies; results of antisense DNA studies; experimental studies of genetic influences on CNS and behavior; and material on inherited diseases of CNS and behavior in humans.

Global Competition Between and Within Standards: The Case of Mobile Phones by Jeffrey L. Funk, ISBN 033397039X
This book shows how the hybrid model, which uses both market and committee mechanisms, explains standard setting and firm competition in the mobile communications industry. The hybrid model explains why certain mobile communication standards like GSM have become global standards while others, for example digital standards supposed by US firms, have not become global standards. The hybrid model also explains why Nokia is the leading producer of mobile phones and Ericsson the leading producer of mobile infrastructure.
