Description
Since the publication of the first edition of this dictionary more than 5 years ago, many changes in technology have occurred, particularly in the rapidly changing fields of image processing, computer electronics, fuel cells, and nanotechnology. I must say, however, that preparing the second edition of this dictionary was significantly easier than the first edition (see preface to first edition). It was easier to prepare because, fortunately, I had a set of handy resources that included terms related to these technological changes. That is, I was able to incorporate new terms from the many new CRC handbooks published within the last 2 years including, the Fuel Cell Technology Handbook, Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals, The Computer Engineering Handbook, Digital Color Imaging Handbook, Handbook of Nanoscience Engineering and Technology, The RF and Microwave Handbook, The Power Electronics Handbook, Biomedical Photonics Handbook, and The Mechatronics Handbook. I was also able to incorporate new terms and corrections suggested by readers of the first edition (for which I heartily thank those readers), as well as additions and corrections that are invariably needed after even the fifth read-through.
