Abstract In this article a new tool for control engineering teaching is presented. The was implemented using Java applets and freely accessible through Web. It allows the analysis simulation of linear systems created to complement theoretical lectures in basic courses. not only centered description but also methodology use it its evaluation an electrical degree. Two practical problems are included manuscript illustrate main functions implemented. developed web‐based can be accessed link...
This paper presents an efficient computer control technique for regulation of anesthesia in humans. The anesthetic used is propofol and the objective to degree hypnosis patient. describes basic hardware/software setup system closed-loop methodologies. bispectral index (BIS) considered as feedback signal. methods proposed here are based use proportional integral controllers with dead-time compensation avoid undesirable oscillations BIS signal during process. on Smith predictor. To guarantee...
This paper describes early language development in a deaf Spanish child fitted with cochlear implant (CI) when she was 1;6 years old. The girl had been exposed to Cued Speech (CS) since that age. main aim of the research identify potential areas slow as well benefit CI and CS. At beginning this 2;6 (she using for 12 months). Adult–child 30‐minute sessions were videotaped every week 1 year (13–24 months use), transcribed according CHAT norms. Measures phonemic inventory, intelligibility,...
This paper studies the linguistic input attended by a deaf child exposed to cued speech (CS) in final part of her prelinguistic period (18–24 months). Subjects are child, mother, and therapist. Analyses have provided data about quantity directed (oral input, more than 1,000 words per half-an-hour session; ratio, 60% oral input; 55% input), its quality (lexical variety, grammatical complexity, etc.), other properties interaction (child attention use spontaneous gestures). Results show that...
This paper is focused on modeling and control the hypnosis of patients undergoing to anaesthesia during surgery. On one hand, this addresses problem process shows results validated with real patients. It also proposes an advanced controller regulate patient hypnosis. The proposed algorithm based combining a nominal input, obtained from inverse dynamics model, together corrective action derived predictive controller. aim work develop technique for regulating patient's degree hypnosis, being...
Abstract Closed-loop administration of propofol for the control hypnosis in anesthesia has evidenced an outperformance when comparing it with manual terms drug consumption and post-operative recovery patients. Unlike other systems, success this strategy lies on availability a feedback variable capable quantifying current hypnotic state patient. However, appearance anomalies during anesthetic process may result inaccurate actions automatic controller. These come from monitors, syringe pumps,...
This study explores the emotional well-being of older siblings children who are deaf or hard hearing and with typical (control group).We interviewed 70 families had both parent sibling complete questionnaires on perceptions relationships.Findings revealed no significant differences between in two groups psychological variables, parental attention, household responsibilities.However, gender did emerge.Parent child ratings were similar, exception interpersonal concerns.Regarding group...
Currently, there is great interest in reducing the consumption of fossil fuels (and other non-renewable energy sources) order to preserve environment; smart buildings are commonly proposed for this purpose as they capable producing their own and using it optimally. However, at times, solar not able supply demand fully; mandatory know quantity needed optimize system. This research focuses on prediction output temperature from a thermal collector. The aim measure system house (or building)....
The exponential growth in energy demand is leading to massive consumption from fossil resources causing a negative effects for the environment. It essential promote sustainable solutions based on renewable energies infrastructures such as microgrids integrated existing network or stand alone solution. Moreover, major focus of today being able integrate higher percentages electricity into mix. variability wind and solar requires knowing relevant long-term patterns developing better procedures...
This is the first study to explore lexical and grammatical development in a deaf child diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Inattentive sub-type (ADHD/I). The child, whose family language was Spanish, fitted cochlear implant (CI) when she 18 months old. ADHD/I, for which prescribed medication, 3;6 years later. Speech samples were videotaped over 4 of CI use during follow-up session 1 year Samples transcribed according CHAT conventions several measures expressive obtained....
This paper presents an approach to anesthesia control using a model-based controller. General with propofol is considered. The proposal tries take advantage of the benefits controllers improve performance in anesthesia. controller proposed based on application two actions. First, nominal term applied obtained from inverse dynamics model. action corrected by adding second that compensates modeling errors, disturbances, etc. To compute correction, linearization model considered around state...
The paper presents an efficient control algorithm applied on a two-link robot manipulator with input constraints. proposes suboptimal solution to the predictive problem infinite prediction horizon, by mean of interpolations between unconstrained optimal and other constrained solutions. strategy is based inserting controller in adaptive perturbation scheme. efficiency proposed shown simulation.
The tracking problem in robot manipulators has been afforded by applying a great variety of controllers, since easy designs based on PD controllers until complex control adaptive and robust algorithms. These last techniques show some drawbacks, i.e., bounds the dynamics have to be considered or controller does not afford with system constraints. This work makes revision existing classical for proposes new set predictive order avoid mentioned problems. Particularly, self-adaptive is described...
The Mid-resolution InfRAreD Astronomical Spectrograph (MIRADAS) is a near-infrared multi-object echelle spectrograph for the 10.4-meter Gran Telescopio Canarias. instrument has 12 pickoff mirror optics on cryogenic probe arms, enabling it to concurrently observe up user-defined objects located in its field-of-view. In this paper, method compute collision-free trajectories arms of MIRADAS presented. We propose sequential approach that two stages: target arm assignment and motion planning. For...
Abstract Nowadays, microprocessors have become an essential tool in a widely set of industrial applications. Because this, Engineering students, especially Industrial ones, should be properly taught its use by implementing sufficiently interesting procedures. The authors consider that these procedures allow students to manage most the features standard microprocessor offers, such as I/O ports, timer counters, serial communication, or external interruptions. In this way, article describes...
