First of all, I owe much to my Mother and Father who always had confidence in me and encouraged me to better myself wh

10、en I was happy to settle for much less. My wife, Barbara has always supported me in all endeavors. My children, Darcy and Jeff were understanding and patient when I was trying to build a career and depriving them of time we could have spent together. Darcy and Jeff have given much support, lending t

11、heir efforts in many ways including research and desktop publishing. My grandchildren, Lisa, Katie, Sarah, Samuel, Daniel and great-grandchildren Joseph and Hannah have also been patient. The little ones have been very understanding when they ask “Pa, is your book finished so you can play with us?”

12、The Instrumentation Faculty and Staff at Texas State Technical College -TSTC have been very helpful in technical support and research. Thanks to Susan Colwell and the ISA staff for their patient help in this project. Much appreciation goes to the reviewers, especially Jerry Gerlich who offered many
