e-Learning, with its various aspects, represents a major trend in education. This paper presents a solution to extend the traditional multiple choice tests to effectively graphic design of calculus equations for an electric workshop. Equation built procedure was augmented using animated pedagogical agents to increase the effectiveness of learning and practical skills and improve the attractive aspect...
This paper presents the hardware and software structures of a proposed data acquisition and processing system, which is designated to perform an automated inspection of roads pavement condition. The system was designed to gather information from multiple sources - laser-based imaging systems for road profiling, cameras for environmental images, proximity sensors, all information being spatially correlated...
This paper describes a system for power supply, monitoring, control and communication for isolated temporary habitats. The system described consists in six modules and offers all the necessary equipment in order to operate a fully functional camp.
Research in e-Learning, Micro Learning and all activities where ITC and multimedia are implied in the process of learning brought a significant debate on the utility of narration in the process. Far from intended to solve this discussion, this paper is about the use of animated agents in presentation integrated with LabVIEW with the benefit of Data Acquisition and Virtual Instrumentation for activities...
Applications in Field Robotics often require synchronous acquiring various environment information using multiple sensors and devices, including digital cameras. For such applications, this paper proposes a software architecture that is designed to cope with large amount of mixed type data, acquired with various sample times, and gathered from multiple sensors and sensing devices. By allowing the...
This paper presents a new virtual instrumentation based laboratory used for electrical processes occurring during charging and discharging phases of batteries cells. After a short presentation of the current solutions on the market in the batteries field, measured quantities and their variation ranges are determined. It proposes a block diagram of the laboratory and presents the hardware and software...
E-learning opens a new way in education based on various communication tools and plays a distinguish role in creating and promoting computer based learning communities and actively encourage their development. E-learning has performed huge steps and has drawn new bounds in the educational system everywhere, a good reason to establish an efficient way to develop and test specific content for it. The...
Diversification of tests and measurements for inspecting the state of the transformer unit insulation in operation, in order to establish the maintenance optimal strategy for increasing the safety in operation of this equipment, requires new diagnosis methods and insulation condition assessment like the recovery voltage method (RVM) and the polarization and depolarization current (PDC) measurement...
This paper describes a computer added system for monitoring and control for inland and offshore drilling rig applications. LabVIEW graphic oriented software provides a flexible and reliable support for SCADA. World wide drilling is developing for oil, gas or water resources and is demanding computer added monitoring and control for correct exploitation and safe use. This applied engineering software...
The paper presents an efficient computation sensitivity method for the analog two-port linear networks, without using the circuit topology. It is consider the steady state non-sinusoidal regime and the algorithm analyze the sensitivities of the network functions correlating it to the relative values which characterize the input current and voltage harmonics. Numerical examples are used for the discussion...
