Despite the intense research in last decade with aim of developing a reliable solution for fall detection elderly and other risk populations, it can be asserted that diffusion detectors geriatric practice is near null. This scenario similar to very scarce use telemedicine healthcare. The present work begins analyzing why have not achieved permeate industry. That road used know drawbacks current devices systems, besides allow studying several important concepts underlying principles...

This article introduces an innovative application of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) (Visual macro language) developed in CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application), computer-aided manufacturing and engineering design software. Said enables the three-dimensional (3D) representation development to be obtained on a plane surfaces cylindrical conical elbows utilised join two conduits, since lacks tools elements metal fabrication. The permits geometric dimensional...

The emergence of computer-aided design (CAD) has propelled the evolution sheet metal engineering field. Sheet software tools include parameters associated to part’s forming process during pattern drawing calculation. Current methods avoid calculation a first flattened neutral surface, independent process, leading several methodological limitations. study evaluates reliability Computer Extended Descriptive Geometry (CeDG) approach surpass those Three cases that cover significative range...

This article presents an application for educational purposes in the field of engineering graphics, which corrects dihedral projections sections a plane part by comparing solution provided student with that obtained through 3D CAD modelling software. Said is generated as macro CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application), included tool ‘Part Design’ module. The code this written CATVBA language, utilizes internal editor, and takes advantage capabilities offered Visual...

Falls are a serious and growing problem in the elderly other population with chronic pathologies. However, none falling detector has been widely accepted by socio-healthcare providers yet. This work analyzes this issue moves forward new paradigm that hybridizes system biology e-health domains. We present succinctly technology architecture of an avatar-based movement monitor based on paradigm, together advancement first outcomes. ROC curves show successful performance algorithm compliant it....

Boosted by health consequences and the cost of falls in elderly, this work develops tests a novel algorithm methodology to detect human impacts that will act as triggers two-layer fall monitor. The two main requirements demanded socio-healthcare providers—unobtrusiveness reliability—defined objectives research. We have demonstrated very agile, adaptive, energy-based anisotropic can provide 100% sensitivity 78% specificity, task detecting under demanding laboratory conditions. works together...

This article shows an approach to the three-dimensional modelling of a sugarcane mill and its associated steam engine, designed by Robey Co. engineering company in 1869. In order obtain 3D CAD model said invention, CATIA V5 R20 software has been employed. Various sources starting material, from basis this research found process searching for relevant information, provide information on main elements, operating conditions, mechanism machine. Thanks geometric carried out, it possible explain,...

Abstract This article presents a useful application for university courses in Engineering Graphics, and manufacturing processes based on developing sheet metal. From the basis of three‐dimensional surface, can generate its development, as well area perimeter that could be used by conventional numerical control machine (CNC) to cut sheet. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

<p>This work consists in the geometric survey of a big statue by means laser scanner and solid modelling. It has been chosen, for its complexity singularity image. It’s about copy weather vane that crowns tower Giralda Seville, well-known " Giraldillo ", carried out traditional methods few years ago. The dimensions study object location public place make other obtaining data cannot be applied without using auxiliary elements to out, this would suppose have disable exhibition during...

In this article, an application in the field of engineering graphics is presented for design a geometric calculator generated as macro CATIA V5. The code written CATVBA language and utilizes internal editor while taking advantage capabilities offered by Visual Basic Applications (VBA). principal purpose lies possibility creating three main elements (point, line, plane) solving five types general problems, then comparing results obtained with their equivalent problems from analytical...
