Dieses Lehrbuch befasst sich leicht verständlich mit der Theorie der Kalman-Filterung. Die Autoren geben damit eine Einführung in Kalman-Filter und deren Anwendung für eingebettete Systeme. Zusätzlich wird anhand konkreter Praxisbeispiele der Kalman-Filterentwurf demonstriert ¿ Teilschritte werden im Buch ausführlich erläutert.Kalman-Filter sind die erste Wahl, um Störsignale auf den Sensorsignalen zu eliminieren. Dies ist von besonderer Bedeutung, da viele technische Systeme ihre prozessrelevanten Informationen über Sensoren gewinnen. Jeder Messwert eines Sensors weißt jedoch aufgrund verschiedener Ursachen einen Messfehler auf. Würde ein System nur auf Basis dieser ungenauen Sensorinformationen arbeiten, so wären viele Anwendungen, wie zum Beispiel ein Navigationssystem oder autonome arbeitende Systeme, nicht möglich.Das Buch ist geeignet für interessierte Bachelor- und Master-Studierende der Fachrichtungen Informatik, Maschinenbau, Elektrotechnik undMechatronik. Ebenso ist das Buch eine Hilfe für Ingenieure und Wissenschaftler, die ein Kalman-Filter z. B. für die Datenfusion oder die Schätzung unbekannter Größen in Echtzeitanwendungen einsetzen möchten.

At the start of the Ford Motor Company in 1903, the Dodge Brothers supplied nearly every car part needed by the up-and-coming auto giant. After fifteen years of operating a successful automotive supplier company, John and Horace Dodge again changed the face of the automotive market in 1914 by introducing their own car. The Dodge Brothers automobile carried on their names even after their untimely deaths in 1920, which led to its sale in 1925 to New York bankers and subsequent purchase in 1928 by Walter Chrysler. Hyde not only details the brothers' lives and influence on automotive manufacturing and marketing trends in the early part of the twentieth century but also their civic contributions to Detroit, their hiring of African Americans and women, and their often anonymous charitable contributions to local organizations. Despite their achievements and their critical role in the early success of Henry Ford, John and Horace Dodge are usually overlooked in histories of the early automotive industry, but Hyde has put them front and center again to appropriately credit their lasting legacy.

The working capital has an effect on the liquidity as well on the profitability of the firm. So, it is important to study the role of working capital in the profit generating process. If the firm desire to improve liquidity, increases the size of working capital of the firm. On the other hand, if a company is interested to obtain a greater risk for greater profits, it decreases the size of working capital in relation to its sales. The firm should trade off between its profitability and liquidity and decide the size of its working capital requirement. The objective of any firm is to maximize the profit. But, maintaining liquidity of the firm is an important objective also.
