A question that may arise in this kind of hardware is if it can acquire data from the device avoiding an overrunning buffer. A method for finding lost samples is presented that is based on the acquisition of a linear frequency modulation signal and the analisys of its discrete Fourier Transform. An example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":305576,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE XXV International Conference on Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computing (INTERCON)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125946596","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}

In particular, the MultiPath protocol was evaluated, which improved the performance and increased the solidity against possible faults in one of the routes. MutiPath TCP conventional and MultiPath TCP were implemented with integration of name-based sockets. The capture procedure and the analysis fields were: data flow, bit rate, protocol type, source IP address, destination IP address, sent bytes, received bytes, start time, source port and destination port. The Argus software was used to monitor network traffic on the server and the client. The implementation of the MultiPath server was performed on the Ubuntu 15.04 Linux platform, and the Wireshark tool to capture protocol data units. For the implementation of conventional MultiPath TCP an average transfer rate of 54.86Mbps was obtained and when it was integrated into the MultiPath TCP communication with name-based socket integration, an average transfer rate of 60.89Mbps was obtained, so optimization for the second case is around 10%. It has been proven that the production network works correctly and with better performance.","PeriodicalId":305576,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE XXV International Conference on Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computing (INTERCON)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123884084","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, estimating the angular position and speed from resolver outputs is as difficult task. Most algorithms in literature use trigonometric functions to estimate the angular position. However, these functions are difficult to implement, especially in FPGAs. On the other hand, in speed vector control of three-phase motors, the angular position is only used to estimate the mechanical speed and Park transformation matrix. This paper presents a simple technique to get the mechanical speed and Park matrix without calculating trigonometric functions and without estimating directly the angular position. Filtering and synchronous demodulation allows obtaining the sine and cosine of the angular position, while the compensation of the delay produced by filtering and the estimation of the Park matrix are done using simple trigonometric properties and taking advantage that the number of pole pairs is an integer number. Experimental results show the accuracy of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":305576,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE XXV International Conference on Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computing (INTERCON)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131872445","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}

For these reasons, this technology has attracted the attention of academic and industrial communities. However, there are still some factors hindering its extensive use. The aim of this paper is to compare woven antennas using two different technologies exploring the reasons that hinder its application. The technologies tested are: conductive linen and conductive cloth. The woven antennas are designed using a microstrip-design approach and simulations as starting base-line. In both linen and cloth technologies, the manufactured antennas observe variability in its return loss caused by bending (flexiblility) of the antenna body that also contributes to an imperfect connection with feeding cables. The manufactured conductive cloth antennas observe similar results as its corresponding microstrip pairs. On the other hand, conductive linen antennas yield larger bandwidth than expected and more resonances of |S11|. Thus, they can be potential candidates for applications with multi-band specifications.","PeriodicalId":305576,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE XXV International Conference on Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computing (INTERCON)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128548149","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}

For these reasons, in this paper, we present a technological tool aimed at supporting the school curriculum for children from 6 to 12 years with DS. This tool relies on a low-cost robotic assistant, a mobile app, and a module to suggest educational activities for the children. With the aim of determining the children’s response to the robot as well as to the mobile application, we have conducted a first pilot experiment with 21 children (without disabilities).
