Full textIn face of the characteristics of multiple data streams, high bit rate, variable data formats, complicated frame structure and changeable application environment, the programmable PCM telemetry system needs a new data processing system with advanced telemetry system architecture. This paper fully considers the characteristics of real-time telemetry data processing, analyzes the design of open system architecture for real-time telemetry data processing system(TDPS), presents an open system architecture scheme and design of real-time TDPS, gives the structure model of distributed network system, and develops the interface between network database and telemetry database, as well as telemetry processing software with man-machine interface. Finally, a practical and multi-functional real-time TDPS with open system architecture has been built, which based on UNIX operating system, supporting TCP/IP protocol and using Oracle relational database management system. This scheme and design have already proved to be efficient for real-time processing, high speed, mass storage and multi-user operation.

Resumo: O cheiro, as cores, o gosto e muitos outros sinais podem ajudar uma pessoa a compreender um fenômeno. Os sentidos são utilizados para ampliar a percepção humana no caminho da formação do conhecimento. Assim, a interface com o usuário pode melhorar a qualidade e a eficiência de um projeto "E-Learning", uma vez que pode representar uma informação a ser assimilada ou transmitida. Para desenvolver o ECOLIG, um protocolo semiótico capaz de compartilhar o espaço interno de recursos ativos, este trabalho propõe o uso de interfaces híbridas e dispositivos sem fio para interagir com dispositivos elétricos, como equipamentos eletrônicos ou transdutores iônicos. Este protocolo de comunicação, que encapsula seqüências de formação do conhecimento, deve ser utilizado de forma a tornar coerentes as relações Objeto- Signo e Objeto-Interpretante. Conclui ainda que, aprender a compartilhar o espaço interno pode ser um dos grandes desafios na utilização das redes de processamento de recursos para a criação estruturada de processos semióticos em busca da transferência eficiente da informação em aplicações dos tipos "e-learning", automação e robótica dentre outras
Abstract: The smell, the color, the taste and many others signs can contribute to someone understand a phenomenon. Those set of feelings are used to improve the human perception as part of knowledge path. In this way, the user interface can improve the quality and eficience of an E-Learning project, since it can represents some information to be assimilated or transmited. To develop the ECOLIG, a semiotic protocol, able to share the internal area of active resources, this work proposes the use of hybrid interfaces and wireless devices to interact with electrical resources, as electronic equipments or ionic transducers. This communication protocol, which encapsulates the path of knowledge, should be used to make Object-Sign and Object-Interpreter, consistent relations. Finally, learn how to share the internal space can be a great step to the knowledge transmission using the development of a systematic semiotic protocol with e-learning, automation, robotics and others applications

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta a integração de algumas técnicas computacionais para validar e melhorar recursos de interface para o provimento de simulador eletromagnético chamado de SEM-BR (Simulador Eletromagnético Brasileiro). Para isso, foi integrada a avaliação heurística com as técnicas de usabilidade no SEM-BR, com foco na detecção de erros e avaliação da interface do software. Foram utilizadas as dez heurísticas de Nielsen, juntamente com os graus de severidade, semiótica computacional, percurso cognitivo e os testes com checklist e ferramenta UPPAAL. O estabelecimento desse procedimento sequenciado de aplicação das referidas técnicas computacionais apresentou bons resultados, pois foi possível detectar e corrigir um grande número de erros de funcionalidades da interface, com variados níveis de severidade do problema, e também foram alterados alguns recursos visuais da interface para melhorar sua qualidade de visualização e padronização. Contribuindo com a melhoria das interações homem-máquina. Além disso, também foi estabelecido um procedimento documental para a continuidade desse simulador eletromagnético. Isso é importante devido a complexidade apresentada por esse aplicativo e quantidade de recursos disponíveis, pois possibilita que futuras intervenções sejam melhor planejadas e mais rapidamente executadas. Outro nível de documentação também foi elaborado, focando-se nos usuários que agora possuem um manual devidamente escrito e com exemplos de uso

Full textIn this research, we are interested in the question of sustainability of the use of knowledge management systems (KMS) in companies. KMS are those IT environments that are set up in companies to share and build common expertise through collaborators. Findings show that, despite the rigor employed by companies in the implementation of these KMS, the risk of knowledge management initiatives being unsuccessful, particularly related to the acceptance and continuous use of these environments by users remains prevalent. The persistence of this fact in companies has motivated our interest to contribute to this general research question. As contributions to this problem, we have 1) identified from the state of the art, four facets that are required to promote the perennial use of a platform managing knowledge; 2) proposed a theoretical model of mixed regulation that unifies tools for self-regulation and tools to support change, and allows the continuous implementation of the various factors that stimulate the sustainable use of CMS; 3) proposed a design methodology, adapted to this model and based on the Agile concepts, which incorporates a mixed evaluation methodology of satisfaction and effective use as well as CHI tools for the completion of different iterations of our methodology; 4) implemented the methodology in real context at the Société du Canal de Provence, which allowed us to test its feasibility and propose generic adjustments / recommendations to designers for its application in context. The tool resulting from our implementation was positively received by the users in terms of satisfaction and usages

Full textMer effektiva tunga fordon utvecklas med högre räckvidd, uppdaterade elektroniska och mekaniska delar. Bränsleeffektiviteten och föroreningen av koldioxid måste vara lägre för att uppnå nya EU-förordningar. Antalet tunga fordon ökar i takt med att den globala befolkningen ökar, detta leder i sin tur till ökad utsläpp av bland annat koldioxid. Genom att ta de elektriska och mekaniska delarna till nästa steg kan de globala utsläppsproblemen minskas massivt. Elektriska maskiner för framdrivning är nästa steg mot en renare framtid. Studiens huvudmål för att undersöka den elektriska maskinens isoleringssystem. Termomekaniska påfrestningar på grund av termisk cykling påverkar de elektriska maskinerna och dess delkomponenter. Genom att använda en FEM-applikation med förenklade modeller av den elektriska maskinen erhålls och diskuteras resultat. Specifikt om 2D-modeller är tillräckliga för att representera en 3D-modell. Hur tillräckligt de olika 2D-modeller kan representera 3D-modellen jämförs och diskuteras i denna studie. Ett fysiskt experiment utförs för att validera och kalibrera FEA-modellerna. Vilken av de mindre frekventa cykler med högre amplitud eller mer frekventa cyckler med lägre amplitud påverkar isoleringssystemet mest har undersökts. Simuleringarna kan göras med antingen, temperatur kopplad förskjutnings analys eller sekventiellt kopplad analys. Temperatur kopplad kopplad förskjutning är den snabbaste metoden att använda i simuleringsmodellerna. En 3D-modell är det bästa sättet att beskriva ett objekt och har därför implementerats. Ytterligare två, 2Dmodeller är framtagna i FEM-miljö för snabbare beräkning och för att undersöka om 2D-modellerna kan representera den tredimensionella geometrin. Samtliga tre modeller har specifika randvillkor för att förenkla modellerna. Känslighetsstudier görs för att bestämma vilken parameter som påverkar de inducerade termomekaniska spänningarna mest. Ett fysiskt experiment har utförsts för att validera och kalibrera simuleringsmodellerna. Resultatet visar att 3D-modellen representerar ett tre dimensonellt objekt bäst. Simuleringsresultat har visat att epoxy, som är en av huvudkomponenterna i isoleringssystemet, är mest kritisk när det gäller att först nå brott- och sträckgräns, följt av pappersisolering och koppar beläggningen. Detta är ett typiskt resultat av alla tre simuleringsmodeller. Slutsatsen visar att vissa 2D-modeller kan presentera 3D-modellen, andra kan inte. Den beroende faktorn beror på ur vilket tvärsnitt man tittar på den elektriska maskinen. Det fysiska experimentet visar liknande resultat jämfört med simuleringen när det gäller belastning vid en lägre temperatur, och avvikelsen blir större när temperaturen ökar. 3D-modellen, är den modell som har den bästa representationen av en riktig elektrisk maskin eftersom den inkluderar normal- och skjuvspänningskomponenter i alla riktningar. Anledningen är att den har bättre randvillkor jämfört med 2Dmodellerna. 2D-modellen i XY-planet har visat liknande resultat som 3D-modellen. En av huvudkomponenterna i isoleringssystemet, epoxy, utsätts för de högsta spänningarna jämfört med dess sträck- och den brottgräns, följt av pappersisolering och koppar beläggning. Känslighetsstudien har kommit fram till att statorns axiella längd inte påverkar spänningsamplituderna. Den mest kritiska parametern som påverkar de termomekaniska spänningarna är temperatur amplituden, materialens CTE och tjockleken på det skarvade skiktet. Alla maximala spänningsamplituder för samtliga tre komponenter är belägna i den fria änden.

Full textThe objective of this work is to study the contribution of force feedback to human-computer interaction. It consisted of determining the conditions in which the instrumental interaction is the most powerful, considering the features and the constraints of the task. One of the aims was the study of the geometry influence of the mechanical design of the force feedback device on the user performances. Different current taxonomies are presented. We define a taxonomy to characterise interfaces with kinaesthetic, tactile and proprioception feedback. In particular, we study the human user during instrumental actions. With the concept of anamorphosis, we implement a methodology outline in order to establish measure criteria of the user performances, considering a reference situation

Full textThis thesis is about the design and evaluation of a graphical display that aims at showing the behavior of a complex automated system in action. A problem with complex automation is that it sometimes surprises the user by performing actions that were not expected. The reason of this is poor communication of system activities. In order to study how to design for anticipative automation communication a prototype around automatic vehicle driving on highways was designed and evaluated. The design work focused on designing a display that contained anticipation as a use quality. This resulted in a display design that aimed at representing the working scene in such a way that the user would be able to recognize and compare the system view with the real situation. In order to accomplish this, three layers of information were merged together in the display, these layers were; the automaton’s image of how the world is seen, the way that image is perceived and interpreted in terms of system action necessity and out of that the actions that the system plans to perform in the near future. The evaluation of the design prototype showed that it was possible to anticipate system actions but that the information detail level was insufficient for the evaluators to completely trust system decisions. The evaluation also showed that trust can be created by letting the automaton represent the perception of the situation in such a way that the user is able to compare it to personal experience from performing the task manually. Anticipation can be created through showing what future the automaton is expecting and what actions that needs to be performed in order to reach or maintain the general system task or goal.

Full texts. Throughout years, along with their changed appearance, the way the appliances are perceived has altered. The interface of domestic products is mainly dominated by visual elements. Undoubtedly, the domination of the visual perception in the interfaces of the appliances might cause complications in the interaction between the product and visually impaired users. In this thesis, the interaction between the electrical household appliances and visually impaired user is examined to identify the strong points in the interaction as well as any complications that may occur during the interaction. Observations were conducted with ten users to explore the interaction between the visually impaired users and three electrical domestic appliances: washing machine, vacuum cleaner and iron. The findings of the observations indicate that visually impaired users can operate their appliances, with some limitations. Yet a number of common problematic points related to the interface elements, which hinder from using their electrical appliances with full functionality, were encountered. At the end of the study, a list of design recommendations, some of which offered in the literature previously, are suggested.

Resumo: Esta tese tem como tema central as articulações entre a comunicação móvel e a cultura participativa e suas consequências sobre as transformações da ação social contemporânea. Para investigar essas articulações, traçamos como objetivo geral compreender as inter-relações entre o desenvolvimento das mídias digitais, o fenômeno da convergência e a emergência da sociedade participativa. A fim de efetivar esse objetivo geral, tomamos como objeto de estudos dois fenômenos típicos da cultura participativa, denominados por Jenkins (2008) como "convergência corporativa" e "convergência alternativa". Do primeiro fenômeno, analisamos a telenovela Viver a Vida, exibida pela Rede Globo de Televisão (2009-2010); do segundo, analisamos o ativismo digital ou ativismo transmídia durante a Primavera Árabe - a fim de estudar as conexões entre a comunicação móvel e a emergência de práticas de ação social, no interior de uma sociedade participativa. A discussão inicia-se com o delineamento das transformações no desenvolvimento das mídias, focalizando as mutações tecnológicas que operaram a passagem dos dispositivos fixos aos móveis. A análise da telenovela Viver a Vida evidenciou mudanças no formato tradicional desse gênero televisivo, instaurando-se uma narrativa que se desenvolve entre a televisão e o meio digital; ao mesmo tempo, transforma-se a relação entre os consumidores e a telenovela, com novas formas de se assistirem aos capítulos (que migram para o computador e os dispositivos móveis) e de interagir com a narrativa (o telespectador pode acompanhar a história que se desenrola complementarmente tanto na televisão quanto nos sites e blogs). Quanto à análise do ativismo digital durante a Primavera Árabe, salientamos sua inextricável ligação com as redes sociais digitais e analisamos os deslocamentos nas práticas de ativismo político propiciadas pelo uso de mídias móveis e do compartilhamento de fotos e textos via smartphone. A análise mostra que os ativistas conseguem burlar a censura imposta aos meios de comunicação tradicionais e dão visibilidade aos acontecimentos, denunciando crimes por meio de imagens chocantes, que expõem ao olhar do mundo as atrocidades cometidas pelos governos ditatoriais. Usando desses mesmos recursos da telefonia móvel e das redes sociais digitais, os governos ditatoriais postam imagens e textos que exaltam seus feitos e condenam as ações dos manifestantes e rebeldes, travando uma batalha materializada nas imagens e textos que circulam nas redes sociais e que dão dimensão planetária aos acontecimentos. O compartilhamento de imagens e textos, via smartphone, salienta novas práticas estabelecidas pelo uso do aplicativo Instagram, tanto em termos de recursos de tratamento das imagens, quanto no que diz respeito à instantaneidade de postagem de fotografias e textos (legendas, etiquetas) em plataformas e redes sociais digitais. O uso do Instagram está modificando a produção e circulação de textos e imagens realizadas por fotógrafos amadores, na medida em que oferece recursos para refinamento das imagens realizadas pelo smartphone, tratadas pelo aplicativo e postadas em plataformas e redes sociais. O uso desse aplicativo está modificando também as práticas de produção no campo do fotojornalismo, sendo cada vez mais utilizado por fotógrafos profissionais de agências de notícias e bancos de imagens, instalando nova estética para a produção fotográfica na imprensa. Demonstramos, assim, que na ecologia contemporânea das mídias, deslocam-se as fronteiras entre o político e o estético e a comunicação móvel se transforma em arena para novas formas de ação social
Abstract: This thesis is focused on the links between mobile communication and participatory culture and their consequences on the contemporary transformations of social action. To investigate these articulations, we traced as the general objective to understand the inter-relationships between the development of digital media, the phenomenon of convergence and the emergence of participatory society. In order to accomplish this general goal, we take as the object of study two phenomena typical of participatory culture, called by Jenkins (2008) as "corporate convergence" and " alternative convergence". For the first phenomenon, we analyze the soap opera "Viver a Vida", aired by Globo Television Network (2009-2010). For the second, we investigate the digital activism or transmedia activism during the Arab Spring - to study the connections between mobile communication and the emergence of social activism within a participatory society. The discussion begins with the outlining of the changes in media development, focusing on the technological development that operated the transition from fixed to mobile devices. The analysis of the soap opera "Viver a Vida" showed changes in the traditional format of this television genre, establishing up a narrative that develops between television and digital media; while transforming the relationship between consumers and the soap opera, with new forms of watching chapters (which migrate to the computer and mobile devices) and interact with the narrative (the viewer can follow the story as it unfolds on television, complemented by the websites and blogs). As we analyze the digital activism during the Arab Spring, we emphasize its inextricable link with social networks and observe the shifts in practices of political activism enabled by the use of mobile media, by sharing photos and texts via smartphone. The analysis shows that activists can circumvent the censorship imposed on traditional media and provide visibility to events, denouncing crimes through shocking images that expose to the world the atrocities committed by dictatorial governments. Using the same mobile and social resources, dictatorial governments post images and texts that exalt their accomplishments and condemn the actions of the protesters and rebels, waging a battle materialized in texts and images circulating on social networking and giving global dimension to the events. The sharing of images and texts via smartphones highlights new practices established by using the Instagram app, both in terms of resources for processing images, as in the case of the instant posting of photos and text (captions, tags) on platforms and digital social networks. The use of Instagram is changing the production and circulation of texts and images taken by amateur photographers, as it provides image refinement features for smartphones, handled by the application and posted on social networks and platforms. The use of this application is also modifying production practices in the field of photojournalism, being increasingly used by professional photographers from news agencies and image banks, introducing new aesthetics for the photographic production in the press. We demonstrate, therefore, that the ecology of contemporary media move the boundaries between the political and the aesthetic, as mobile communication becomes arena for new forms of social action
