Book Description
Perfect for papercrafters of all skill levels and ages, these 12 unique models can actually move — just add a clothespin! Cut out the full-color parts and follow the simple assembly directions to build a bird that pecks, a flying pig that flaps its wings, a dog that nods its head, and a T. rex that opens its jaws. Create a bear, if you dare, and produce a moose or goose! Step-by-step instructions for putting the pieces together are accompanied by color photos. Each project features printed parts to cut and assemble as well as a list of materials such as clothespins and paper clips.

Book Description
Designing and making successful automata involves combining materials, mechanisms and magic. Making Simple Automata explains how to design and construct small scale, simple mechanical devices made for fun. Materials such as paper and card, wood, wire, tinplate and plastics are covered along with mechanisms - levers and linkages, cranks and cams, wheels, gears, pulleys, springs, ratchets and pawls. This wonderful book is illustrated with examples throughout and explains the six golden rules for making automata alongside detailed step-by-step projects. Magic - an unanalyzable charm, a strong fascination so that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Superbly illustrated with 110 colour photographs with examples and detailed step-by-step projects.

Book Description
This beautiful book draws on Robert Race's extensive collection of traditional moving toys, looking at the ways the makers have achieved remarkable and varied results, often with very limited resources. Each chapter begins by looking at the mechanisms and materials used in some of these traditional moving toys, goes on to consider possible variations, and describes how to make a related moving toy. It continues, from this basis, to develop a design for an automaton. The book shows that designing and making these simple but wonderfully satisfying mechanical devices is fun, and that good results can be achieved in many different ways, using a variety of materials, tools and equipment such as wood and wire, card and paper, bamboo, string, tin plate and feathers. It exploits, in a simple way, mechanisms such as levers, linkages, cranks and cams. It explores different ways of moving those mechanisms directly by hand, by springs or falling weights, and by the wind. Beautifully illustrated with 117 colour images.
Implementation and Application of Automata
Author: Sheng YuPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media

Pages : 353
Book Description
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata, CIAA 2000, held in London, Ontario, Canada, in July 2000. The 26 revised full papers presented together with two invited papers and seven abstracts have passed through two rounds of selection and revision. The topics addressed from theoretical as well as application-oriented viewpoints range from automata applications in software engineering, natural language and speech recognition, and image processing to new representations and algorithms for efficient implementation of automata and related structures.
