The new book I'm a co-author on (with Paul Jaffe, Mitchel Szazynski, and Bernd Strassner), "Power Beaming: History, Theory, And Practice" is coming out very soon! Amazon (https://lnkd.in/gu-x5BCA) says May 30. World Scientific (https://lnkd.in/g_dXq7wu) says June. Either way, order your copy now: pre-orders on Amazon help boost its place in the rankings on the first day/week of its official release. Writing the book was gratifying, in part because we were able to start bridging between the laser and microwave groups to make a common way of analyzing and talking about system parameters and performance metrics. #powerbeaming #laser #energy #wirelesspower

I am pleased to announce the publication of my circuit theory book “First and Second Order Circuits and Equations – Technical Background and Insights”, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. https://lnkd.in/dRX26NtD The book “First and Second Order Circuits and Equations”, (called “1st & 2nd” for short), provides in-depth analyses, detailed step-by-step derivations, intuitive insights, and simulation examples on electrical circuit theory, focused on the basic RC, RL, and RLC reactive circuits in both time and frequency domains. To get an idea of the content and style, the videos on my YouTube channel reflect and support the content in the book: https://lnkd.in/gVF2BNZy This book can be used as a reference study guide to supplement structured circuit theory course content and traditional textbooks. You can also read and study “1st & 2nd” from start to finish on its own. The goal is to accelerate learning, to get to the understanding and insight faster.   

📃Scientific paper: FreGrad: Lightweight and Fast Frequency-aware Diffusion Vocoder Abstract: The goal of this paper is to generate realistic audio with a lightweight and fast diffusion-based vocoder, named FreGrad. Our framework consists of the following three key components: (1) We employ discrete wavelet transform that decomposes a complicated waveform into sub-band wavelets, which helps FreGrad to operate on a simple and concise feature space, (2) We design a frequency-aware dilated convolution that elevates frequency awareness, resulting in generating speech with accurate frequency information, and (3) We introduce a bag of tricks that boosts the generation quality of the proposed model. In our experiments, FreGrad achieves 3.7 times faster training time and 2.2 times faster inference speed compared to our baseline while reducing the model size by 0.6 times (only 1.78M parameters) without sacrificing the output quality.

Review of "The Ordinal Society" in Science Magazine:  https://lnkd.in/eigupCQ5 It's gated, though the preview shows the whole thing and it's readable. Amusingly, buying the ungated version of the review is more expensive than buying the acutal book, and so you should do the latter.

As the small aircraft and drones get popular, the enormity of monitoring the lower airspace becomes yet more difficult, the passive radars however are a promising opportunity.
