FTT-MA: A Flexible Time-Triggered Middleware Architecture for Time Sensitive, Resource-Aware AmI Systems
(MDPI, 2013-05)
There is an increasing number of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems that are time-sensitive and resource-aware. From healthcare to building and even home/office automation, it is now common to find systems combining ...
An Embedded Stress Sensor for Concrete SHM Based on Amorphous Ferromagnetic Microwires
(MDPI, 2014-11)
A new smart concrete aggregate design as a candidate for applications in structural health monitoring (SHM) of critical elements in civil infrastructure is proposed. The cement-based stress/strain sensor was developed by ...
Classifier Subset Selection for the Stacked Generalization Method Applied to Emotion Recognition in Speech
(MDPI, 2016-01)
In this paper, a new supervised classification paradigm, called classifier subset selection for stacked generalization (CSS stacking), is presented to deal with speech emotion recognition. The new approach consists of an ...
Tension and Ampacity Monitoring System for Overhead Lines
(IEEE, 2013-01-01)
Real time monitoring allows the determination of the line state and the calculation of the actual rating value. The real time monitoring systems measure sag, conductor tension, conductor temperature or weather related ...
A Novel Micro- and Nano-Scale Positioning Sensor Based on Radio Frequency Resonant Cavities
(MDPI, 2014-06)
In many micro- and nano-scale technological applications high sensitivity displacement sensors are needed, especially in ultraprecision metrology and manufacturing. In this work a new way of sensing displacement based on ...
A method for the sag-tension calculation in electrical overhead lines
(Praise Worthy Prize, 2011-06)
The sag and tension values of overhead conductors are influenced by the creep developed during the line lifetime. This paper presents a method for the sag-tension calculation of overhead conductors that is characterised ...
Influence of the conductor temperature error on the overhead line ampacity monitoring systems
(The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2011-04)
Many real time overhead line ampacity monitoring systems are based on the calculation of the wind speed. The wind speed is obtained from the conductor temperature. The conductor temperature can be measured directly or it ...
Forecast Ratio and Security Analysis of Rating Forecasting Methods in an Overhead Line
(The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2017-01-26)
The actual line rating in overhead lines varies with weather conditions. When a utility defines a rating value for the operation of the line, it takes into account both the security and the forecast ratio. The defined ...
Query-by-Example Spoken Term Detection ALBAYZIN 2012 evaluation: overview, systems, results, and discussion
(Springer, 2013-09)
Query-by-Example Spoken Term Detection (QbE STD) aims at retrieving data from a speech data repository given an acoustic query containing the term of interest as input. Nowadays, it has been receiving much interest due to ...
Empirical Doppler Characterization of Signals Scattered by Wind Turbines in the UHF Band under Near Field Condition
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Time variability of the scattering signals from wind turbines may lead to degradation problems on the communication systems provided in the UHF band, especially under near field condition. In order to analyze the variability ...
