In our country mobile technology is important as a support tool in the rehabilitation of people. ... -
Geoffrey: An Automated Schedule System on a Social Robot for the Intellectually Challenged
(12/02/2018)The accelerated growth of the percentage of elder people and persons with brain injury-related conditions and who are intellectually challenged are some of the main concerns of the developed countries. These persons often ... -
Synthesis of optical filters using microring resonators with ultra-large FSR
(12/06/2010)We propose a novel synthesis method for designing flexible, tunable non-periodic filters. It is based on a building block which is presented by first time for these purposes, being the poles position tuned by means of a ... -
Mobile system for medical control of chronic diseases through intelligent devices
(12/12/2012)The ageing of the population is a factor that in the future will increase the percentage of dependent people, given that there is a close relationship between dependence and age. When patients are in a health care environment, ... -
Lane Surface Identification Based on Reflectance using Laser Range Finder
(12/13/2014)In striving to achieve autonomous navigation the problem of guidance is a major difficulty faced by fully autonomous vehicle. In this paper, the authors focus on unconventional methods of identifying lane markings on a ... -
Lithium-ion battery pack arrays for lifespan enhancement
(2017 CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON)2017 CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON), 12/21/2017)Depending on the application, power and energy requirements may differ significantly and, most likely, a single lithium-ion cell will not suffice. Battery packs offer cell interconnections that allow to obtain several ... -
Frame retransmission using a modified VST-TDMA access protocol in Picocell/WPAN
(2017 IEEE 9th Latin-American Conference on Communications (LATINCOM)2017 IEEE 9th Latin-American Conference on Communications (LATINCOM), 12/28/2017)The VST-TDMA access protocol has shown to have many advantages over existing protocols in centralized (star) wireless network architectures. As most data-link layer protocols, it does not have a recovery feature as data ... -
Recruiting a PRA Team That Works
(1997-01)In 1949 the world bank sent 14 international advisers to Colombia. These expert in foreign exchange, transportation, industry, agriculture, and others represented the first mission of its kind to attack "underdevelopment" ... -
Induced Desorption of DDT, DDD, and DDE from a Contaminated Sediment
(1997-03-01)Release profiles of p,p′-DDT, p,p′-DDD, and p,p′-DDE from sediment collected from Indian Creek, Alabama, were measured with a gas purge-induced desorption technique and compared to a model developed in this work. DDT entered ... -
Enabling NFC technology to public services
(1997-07-01)Ambient Intelligent are usually emerged in contexts like health, education, business and so on. However there are not many researches focusing on social aspects as public administrations. In these kinds of contexts, some ... -
