The development of a virtual scenario is desirable in a number of hostile environments such as in mining, or sewer pipelines to inspect its current condition and to identify possible failures. Obtaining a virtual image through the reconstruction of the mineshaft or inner pipe is a valuable tool for assessment and fault detection. In this paper, we present results for our 3D reconstruction approach,...
In this paper a quasi-floating-gate charge/discharge method is presented and a novel application for the widely used membrane-like RF-MEMS switches is proposed as well. The design of a four-beam capacitive MEMS structure is described within the 0.5 microns (2P3M) CMOS technology framework. Furthermore, the device is electromechanically simulated in the COMSOL Multiphysics suite and electrically simulated...
Simulation software is a fundamental tool that should be used when designing systems dealing with electro-thermal interaction, for instance. Nevertheless, there exist some inconveniences that limit and make specific software hard to use in this task. On one side, it may require a large processing hardware capacity, and on the other, simulation time increases substantially if the model complexity and...
An important problem faced by power systems is the continuous training of operators. An operator must comprehend the physical operation of the process and must be skilled in handling a number of normal and abnormal operating problems. It is well-known that emotions are important in motivation; if the affect of operators is considered in the training, the process could be improved. This paper presents...
