A system to monitor the main ambient parameters in the vineyard with wireless sensors
2009
Wireless technologies have been under rapid development during recent years but applications of wireless sensors in agriculture and food industry are still rare. The aim of this study is to monitor the micro-climate of the grapevine in order to monitor the adversities of the spring period reducing the operating costs of the vineyard and increasing the quality of grapes. At this purpose a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) was used. Furthermore, a comparison was performed between the data measured by the wireless sensors and the data provided by the fixed meteorological station of the Regione Siciliana (SIAS).
Curso de prácticas de Optometria II : práctica 3 sensorial
2019
Esta publicación surge con la finalidad de servir de guía, consulta y orientación para que el estudiantado, (o las personas interesadas en el tema), puedan ir siguiendo un orden de pruebas y de pasos durante la realización de la actividad relacionada con la evaluación de la visión binocular. Nuestro objetivo general es facilitar que se consoliden las bases prácticas necesarias para la evaluación óptima de la visión binocular en cada una de las partes que la componen. En esta publicación, correspondiente a la práctica 3, se muestra cómo realizar las pruebas sensoriales, ello permite conocer en qué grado de fusión sensorial se encuentra el sistema binocular del paciente.
Electrochemical sensor for phosphate ions based on laser scriber reduced graphene oxide
2022
This preliminary work shows a new and innovative way to produce laser scribed reduced graphene oxide (LSGO) electrodes using different porous substrates (ranging from paper to plastic and fabric). The obtained electrodes were also tested as electrochemical sensors towards the detection of phosphate ions in water. To obtain the electrodes, a water suspension of GO was filtered on top of substrate (such as Whatman® filter paper) and a complete sensor was obtained from its reduction using a CO2 laser. The electrode is composed of working and counter electrodes made of LSGO and a reference electrode of a Ag/AgCl obtained by using a commercial AgCl conductive paste. Phosphate ions were detected …
Vinificazione in bianco in presenza di chips di quercia di origine e livello di tostatura diversi
2011
Some musts from Grillo grapes, a cultivar autochthonous of western Sicily, fermented with medium toasted American oak chips or with non toasted French oak chips (Classic Line – HTS enology) have been vinified. the wines were significantly different as regards the contents in volatile and non volatile compounds extracted from American and French oak chips. a slight increase in alcoholic fermentation rate and in some cases a higher content of ethyl esters and medium chain fatty acids, were observed in musts charged with chips, independently of their origin. In wines obtained from musts charged with french medium toasted oak chips, the content in furans was higher (5-methylfurfural, trans-meth…

Coverage study of a sustainable IoT system for industrial applications
2022
Los dispositivos del Internet de las Cosas (IoT) son muy útiles para monitorizar información en escenarios industriales incluso en zonas que tienen difícil acceso a través de las conexiones tradicionales. Las comunicaciones inalámbricas fiables pueden ser un reto en entornos industriales, donde la señal de comunicaciones es a menudo bloqueada debido a la presencia de maquinaria industrial, con posibles bloqueos intermitentes y/o impredecibles. Este artículo evalúa las características de cobertura de un despliegue sostenible y de bajo coste de dispositivos IoT para monitorizar una instalación industrial dedicada al diseño y montaje de sistemas de automatización para la industria alimentaria.…
Precision Agriculture: Past, Present and Future
2011
From 1978 the Global Positioning System, needed for sensing the position of military targets (e.g. buildings, machinery), was developed as a pure military system, while in 1983 it was made available also for public use. Therefore, at the beginning of 80s precision agriculture, requiring GPS for sensing the position to which any measured field parameter must be geo-referenced, was implemented for the first time in US. In fact, soil and crop parameters are spatially variable in a field, so that spatially uniform rate crop input applications cause increased environmental impact and crop input waste. In order to reduce the environmental impact and optimise the use of crop inputs, precision agri…
An IPMSM torque/weight and torque/moment of inertia ratio optimization
2014
In this paper, a torque/weight and torque/moment of inertia ratio optimization procedure for interior permanent magnet syncronous motors (IPMSMs) is presented. More in detail, a performance comparison between several IPMSM rotor structures has been carried out in order to determine the optimum geometry that can maximize the torque/weight and torque/moment of inertia ratios. A commercial motor, with known electrical and mechanical characteristics, has been taken as reference. Its rotor structure has been modified several times, obtaining different rotor geometries and, therefore, many IPMSM models with different electrical and mechanical characteristics. The finite element method (FEM) analy…
Čukstošas galerijas modas rezonatoru temperatūras sensors
2019
Čukstošo galerijas modu (ČGM) rezonatori ir sfēriskas formas objekti, kas ir taisīti no optiski caurspīdīgiem materiāliem un ir spējīgi uzturēt optiski cirkulējošu vilni iekšā sfērā, izmantojot pilnīgu iekšējo atstarošanos. Ja ir monohromātisks gaismas avots ar konstantu intensitāti, tad vilnis, kas kustās pa lodes perimetru, sāk konstruktīvi interferēt. Šajā gadījumā rodas rezonanse, ko sauc par čukstošo galeriju modu (ČGM), pēc analoģijas no akustikas. Darbā tiek aplūkots koncepts, ka ČGM rezonatorus varētu izmantot kā temperatūras sensorus. Izmantojot dažāda lieluma rezonatorus un mainot tempratūru, tiek testēta sistēma un rezonanses. Darbā tiek veidota praktiska sistēma ar kuras palīdzī…
Cilvēka kustību novērošana, izmantojot inerciālos sensorus
2020
Cilvēka kustību novērošana, izmantojot inerciālos sensorus, mūsdienas ir ļoti populāra pētniecības metode, ko pielieto medicīnā, rehabilitācijā, sportā un citās nozarēs. Darbā tika izpētītas tehnoloģiskās iespējas, lai veiktu cilvēka kustību novērošanu, kā arī esošie pielietojumi cilvēka kustību novērošanai hokejā. Darba mērķis ir veikt profesionāla un entuziasta līmeņa hokejistu hokeja metienu kustību novērošanu, lai noteiktu, kura entuziasta hokeja metiens procentuāli visvairāk atbilst profesionāla hokeja metiena sasniegtajam lineārajām paātrinājumam. Novēroto datu apstrādei, tika izmantota “Python” programmēšanas valoda, ar kuru tika …
