In modern industries, transducers and measurement systems have been largely applied for equipment monitoring. In this context, three-phase induction motors (TIMs) are the main focus of predictive maintenance due to their ...

The energy harvesting from oscillations of structures immersed in a moving fluid has received attention from the scientific community in recent years. Particularly, oscillations resulting from dynamically stable non-linear ...

The adaptive immune response to viral vectors reduces vector-mediated transgene expression from the brain. It is unknown, however, whether this loss is caused by functional downregulation of transgene expression or death ...

A characteristic of infrasound is the induction of vibratory sensation. In this study, the sound pressure level at very low frequencies necessary to produce a vibratory sensation on a person was investigated. For this, ...

In this work, a system is developed for direct lightning current measurements in instrumented towers. This system uses resistive transducers and allows the measurement of both the impulsive and continuous components of the ...

This work describes the development of a prototype of a sensor that can be embedded into an amphibious UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to detect obstacles that can damage the UAV in case of collision. The system consists on ...

The electric energy used for any type of conducting generates some work which is not used, for example, sound energy dissipated in mechanical processes. Despite the dissipation of this energy is small, it is possible to ...

Three-phase induction motors (TIMs) play a key role in the industrial scenario. Due to their robustness and efficacy, coupled with increasingly accessible variable frequency control methods, TIMs have been used to drive ...
