In this work a new concept for designing an efficient monitoring system for large scale chemical plants is presented. It is considered that the monitoring problem must be solved integrated with the optimal sensor location ...

In this paper a monitoring system is developed to guarantee safety operational conditions for the hydrogen production from bioethanol. The key idea is to detect the most critical faults with the minimum number of sensors. ...

Dherte PM, Negrao MPG, Mori Neto S, Holzhacker R, Shimada V, Taberner P, Carmona MJC - Smart Alerts: Development of a Software to Optimize Data Monitoring. Background and objectives: Monitoring is useful for vital follow-ups ...

Piezoactuators consist of compliant mechanisms actuated by two or more piezoceramic devices. During the assembling process, such flexible structures are usually bonded to the piezoceramics. The thin bonding layer(s) between ...

Discretization is one of the most efficient mathematical approaches to simplify (optimize) a system by transforming a continuous domain into its discrete counterpart. In this paper, by adopting space discretization, we ...

This paper presents the design and implementation of a set of prototype nodes that have the ability to establish communication links in ad hoc mode. The prototypes were implemented using low cost, single board computers ...

Supplemental damping devices present an attractive means to improve the structural system. Typically, dampers are designed after the structural system is selected, and they are added to increase structural damping and ...

Methotrexate (MTX) is an antineoplastic drug, and due to its high toxicity, the therapeutic drug monitoring is strictly conducted in the clinical practice. The chemometric optimization and validation of a high performance ...

In the world of medicine, the use of the multi-parameter monitor or patient monitor is vital for obtaining data on the current state of the patient. Therefore, this project aims to design a system that can help optimize ...
