Edge detection is a basic technique used as a preliminary step for, e.g., object extraction and recognition in image processing. Many of the methods for edge detection can be fit in the breakdown structure by Bezdek, ...

The flexibility of new age wireless networks and the variety of sensors to measure a high number of variables, lead to new scenarios where anything can be monitored by small electronic devices, thereby implementing Wireless ...

In this paper, the PPHCs of two filter design techniques, stepped-impedance (SI) and smooth-profile (SP), are presented for four design prototypes. Smooth-profiled filters feature smooth variations in the characteristic ...

In-field torsion measurements on solar trackers using fiber Bragg gratings are presented. 45 FBG sensors have been deployed in an operational solar energy plant to study the mechanical response of the structure to wind.

The increasing wind power penetration in electrical power systems results in a reduction of operative conventional power plants. These plants include synchronous generators directly connected to the grid. Facing a change ...

Lithium-ion batteries are gaining importance for a variety of applications due to their improving characteristics and decreasing price. An accurate knowledge of their aging is required for a successful use of these ESSs. ...

The ongoing developments in the field of microfluidics-based cell culture have led to a significant interest in systems for their visualization and control. The existing cell culture systems are limiting due to cost, ...

This contribution presents a methodology for the integration of Li-ion batteries discarded from electric vehicle into a collective self-consumption installation, showing the technical feasibility of such battery second ...

Nowadays, the idea of using game mechanisms in non-gaming environments has become of great interest in different fields such as education or training. Not only for primary school but also in higher formal education, ...

En este trabajo se presenta un estudio comparativo entre distintos láseres de fibra óptica altamente dopada con erbio, con cavidades lineales conformadas tanto por reflectores puntuales clásicos como reflectores distribuidos. ...
