However, this simulator depends on a proper understanding of the cardiovascular system functioning, not only from the viewpoint of blood flow, but also under the occurrence viewpoint of events that change this system operation mode. This paper thus presents a survey of works that approach different forms to model the blood circulatory system, besides introducing the concept of hybrid systems (discrete event systems combined with systems of continuous variables) to comprehensively model this system.","PeriodicalId":156866,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th IEEE International Conference on Industry Applications (INDUSCON)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122182049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One concept that has been envisioned is Sensing-as-a-Service, which uses the Cloud of Things infrastructure. For the CoT to operate and properly provide SaaS, many authors propose computational abstractions and organizational architectures to deploy systems in a scalable manner. However, privacy issues are often overlooked by publications in this field. Furthermore, the Industry 4.0 aims to apply a wide variety of sensors to enable data driven models and processes, which could benefit greatly from a more robust privacy-keeping methodology.The goal of this paper is to list and compare privacy alternatives for Sensing-as-a-Service deployments. Essentially, it complements a generic and simplified CoT architecture from the literature, which focuses solely on the performance of sensing tasks and inner workings of the network, with alternatives that satisfy the general privacy needs from the system’s users.A set of privacy methods are extracted from the literature and used to exemplify three approaches: privacy on a sensor level, privacy in data aggregation and processing, and privacy through cryptography on the application level. They are compared in regard to advantages, disadvantages and the architectural layers in which they should be implemented. Finally, some guidelines are discussed for validating CoT architectures in future research, while taking privacy into consideration and using the presented schemes.","PeriodicalId":156866,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th IEEE International Conference on Industry Applications (INDUSCON)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120978139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such characteristics is responsible for reliability and power quality problems. To mitigate problems like voltage variation, regulation algorithms can be applied through the energy storage systems. The connection between the energy storage with power grid is carried out and managed by the DC-DC bidirectional converter. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of different topologies of DCDC bidirectional converters. The main objective is identify the topology with better performance for voltage regulation. The system analyzed is a hybrid microgrid composed for battery energy storage system and photovoltaic array connected to power grid. A variable solar irradiance is applied as input to photovoltaic system. The three topologies of DC-DC bidirectional converter approached are the buck-boost, cuk and multilevel. A same voltage regulation strategy is applied to each topology. The model of hybrid microgrid is developed in the software MatLab/Simulink. In this model, the DC-Link voltage ripple and the control response is analyzed. The simulation results show that the DC DC bidirectional multilevel converter has a more suitable response for voltage control. Thereby, the BESS using such topology allow an ancillary service with better power quality to the hybrid microgrid.","PeriodicalId":156866,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th IEEE International Conference on Industry Applications (INDUSCON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129539565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, such systems may exhibit dangerous pressure oscillations, which may lead to serious equipment damage and no programmed plant outage. In order to prevent equipment damage, this paper proposed a damping controller to mitigate dangerous pressure oscillations in hydraulic pumping systems. The controller design is based on frequency domain techniques. For implementation objectives, the resulting damping control law is then converted to discrete time domain by using Tustins methodology and, subsequently, embedded in a hardware built around a 32-bits ARM microcontroller. To assess the controller performance, experimental tests were developed on a laboratory scale pumping system comprised of a centrifugal pump driven by an induction motor-inverter set. The experimental results showed that the proposed controller provides an improve performance by mitigating the pressure oscillations in the tubes. Furthermore, the approach is of low-cost implementation in existing pumping systems.","PeriodicalId":156866,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th IEEE International Conference on Industry Applications (INDUSCON)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130817717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this process, part of the slag accumulates in the body of the lance, forming the so-called skull. The presence of this skull on the copper nozzle of the lance or on its body is critical, because in the stage of its own use, there will be a heating and possible fusion of the skull, helping to make the fusion of the copper possible, causing in crevices where the water would flow into the converter, thus increasing the risk of explosion. The skull on the surface of the lance can also create a layer of enough volume to prevent the movement of the lance through the flanges located on the converters. Such occurrence and practice of removal impair operator safety, the environment and productivity.
