In view of the extreme simplicity of the STM as an instrument, one may wonder why it was not invented mmy decades ago. Probably the reason is that the STM is a hybrid of several different branches of science and technology that generally have very little communication with each other. These parent areas are classical tunneling experiments (a branch of low-temperature physics), surface science (a branch of vacuum physics), and microscopy. The technological implementation of STM required skills and knowledge in different disciplines such as mechanical, electronic, and control engineering. The invention of the STM was a result of the cross-fertilization of different branches of science (Binnig and Rohrer, 1987), much as advocated by Maxwell more than a century ago. 

A sensor is a device able to respond to the presence of one or many given substances in a more-or-less selective way, by means of a reversible chemical interaction it may be employed for qualitative or quantitative determinations (Cattrall, 1997). All sensors are composed of two parts the responsive region and the transducer. The responsive region is responsible for sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor, while the transducer converts energy from one to another form, providing a signal which is informative about the system analyzed. Usually, basic signalprocessing electronics, and control and display units complete the device. 

Thus it is seen that, although antibonding orbitals are not a major factor in describing the bonding of ground-state molecules, they can play a pivotal role in the reactions of molecules. Therefore it is important to keep in mind the existence of antibonding orbitals and their ability to accept electrons and control the reactivity of molecules. 

Limitations in the Soviet manufacturing capacity for specialist equipment such as electronics and control, and the lack of a comprehensive quality assurance system, linked to the pressure to design and build plant that could be manufactured, constructed and commissioned quickly, led to a design which, in both concept and detail, has features which impaired ultimate plant safety. Among the features of the design which appear to be questionable, some of which contributed to the initiation and development of the accident at the Chernobyl 4 reactor, the following merit noting ... 

The electronic and controls subsystem includes a mother control board, several subcontrol boards, contactors, current sensors, voltage sensors, and switches. They control the operation of the entire fuel cell system.

Automotive engineering is concerned with the design, developmerrt and production of vehicles and their component parts. Automotive engineers may speciahze in a wide variety of areas including powertrain (body, chassis and engine systems), electronics and control systems, fuel technology and emissions, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics and thermodynamics. 

Associated with each of these parts is substantial electronic and control circuitry to compensate for the characteristics of the heads, the inertia of moving parts, and so oa In instrumentation recording, two techniques are in general use ... 

This work presents a mechatronic description of an AUV designed to inspect dams. The AUV we developed is based on the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, electronics, and control. 

Design This 5tage divided into three parts mechanical, electronic, and control. These three parts, combined, create field solutions.
