Historically, two classes of coupling circuits have been used for power-line communications (PLC), being capacitive couplers and inductive couplers. In this paper, resistive coupling as a radical and novel approach is investigated specifically for the reception of PLC data. The main goal of this new approach, is to reduce costs associated with traditional capacitive and inductive couplers, seeing...
Nano-communications have tremendous potential for applications in the biomedical, environmental, industrial and military fields. Molecular communication is a new communication paradigm which allows nanomachines to exchange information using molecules as carrier. This is the most promising communication method within nanonetworks, since using electromagnetic waves is not very likely due to the size...
Computer architecture is an important subject for informatics and electrical engineering courses. However, students display some difficulties in this subject, mainly due to the lack of educational tools that are intuitive, versatile and graphical. Existing tools are not adequate enough or are very specific. In this paper, an educational MIPS simulator, DrMIPS, is described. This tool simulates the...
In this work it is proposed the design of a mobile system to assist car drivers in a smart city environment oriented to the upcoming reality of Electric Vehicles (EV). Taking into account the new reality of smart cites, EV introduction, Smart Grids (SG), Electrical Markets (EM), with deregulation of electricity production and use, drivers will need more information for decision and mobility purposes...
In this work is proposed the design of a system to create and handle Electric Vehicles (EV) charging procedures, based on intelligent process. Due to the electrical power distribution network limitation and absence of smart meter devices, Electric Vehicles charging should be performed in a balanced way, taking into account past experience (spread in a social network). In order to allow information...
This work describes the impact of integrating electrical vehicles (EV) in the electrical energy network, through the simulation of the electrical consumption of residential users in the absence of intelligent management strategies such as Smart Grids. The study is composed by a first data analysis stage of three types of family (small, medium and large) and a second stage describing a scenario simulation...
