An open channel flow, or also called micro-canal is used to study river floods, scour around coast structures and bridge piers scour. The need for multiple measurement water speed points, in such a way that specific sections of the micro-canal could be controlled, motivated this research. However, the acquisition of high-end speed sensors involves high economic costs being difficult to implement. As a solution, we designed and implemented a micro-velocimeter (MSV) whose operation principle is based on the operation of a small D.C. motor in generator mode. The D.C. generator shaft is turned by a small propeller, which rotates according to the water speed inside the micro-canal. The prototype was designed using AUTOCAD software, simulated by SolidWorks software and built by 3D printing. For the implementation, the MSV was calibrated using an available Acoustic-Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). The MSV is a good alternative for realizing multi-point measurements along of a micro-canal or with a matrix arranged in a specific section or both, in a simple and economical form.","PeriodicalId":223855,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON)","volume":"56 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120839368","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}

Five different M-Estimators are introduced alongside their optimal hyperparameters in order to avoid parameter tuning by the user. In this way, the proposed framework has the same number of free parameters as K-SVD with the added feature of robustness and improved performance in non–Gaussian environments.

The entropy weight method, on the basis of Shannon’s entropy theory, was applied in order to produce a ranking which shows the social development level in the countries analyzed. To calculate the weight of the criteria, the entropy-weight method was employed, and then the countries surveyed were categorized by the outcomes of a weighted sum. Additionally, in this work an informative map of social development in the aforementioned countries is presented, which varies on a colored scale with the ranking data.
