In industrial automation MCUs are present in the equipment responsible for motor control, valve actuation, measurements and other functions. Currently, the MCUs based on Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) technology are highlighted due to its higher capacity performance, lower power consumption and low cost. These MCUs ARM feature software composition consist of three elements: an embedded operating system, device drivers and applications in general. Given this composition software of ARM MCUs, this paper presents a solution called Functional Modules for ARM (MoFA), with the aim of offering an alternative way in the development of automation and control. These modules are software applications that can be developed for different operating systems on embedded ARM MCUs, such as AndroidTM, embedded Linux distributions and Windows CE. The MoFA has basically four modules: module of control algorithmic for developing and execution of control routines of an automation system, the data storage module to store information needed of the process automation, communication module for remote access to ARM MCU and the analog and digital inputs and outputs module for manipulation of I/O ports of MCU. To validate the MoFA were implemented two applications: a supervisory system for photovoltaic panels and a PI control system liquid level. The results for each application are presented at the end of this work. For the development of these two applications was used the ARM Microcontroller of Tiny6410 Kit of Friendly ARM. The study was conducted at the laboratory of GEDEA of UFERSA / As Unidades Microcontroladas (MCUs, do inglês Microcontroller Units) são componentes utilizados em uma variedade de dispositivos, que vão desde uso doméstico a uso industrial. Na automação industrial as MCUs estão presentes em equipamentos responsáveis pelo controle de motores, acionamento de válvulas, medições entre outras funções. Atualmente, as MCUs baseadas na tecnologia Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) estão se destacando devido a sua maior capacidade de desempenho, menor consumo de energia e baixo custo. Essas MCUs ARMR apresentam composição de software constituída por três elementos: um sistema operacional embarcado, drivers de dispositivos, e aplicações em gerais. Diante desta composição de software das MCUs ARM, este trabalho apresenta uma solução denominada de Módulos Funcionais para ARM (MoFA), com o objetivo de oferecer uma forma alternativa no desenvolvimento em automação e controle. Estes módulos são aplicações de software que podem ser desenvolvidas para diferentes sistemas operacionais embarcados em MCUs ARM, tais como AndroidTM, distribuições de Linux embarcado e Windows CE. O MoFA possui basicamente quatro módulos: o módulo de algoritmo de controle para desenvolvimento e execução de rotinas de controle de um sistema de automação, o módulo de armazenamento de dados para guardar informações necessárias do processo da automação, o módulo de comunicação para acesso remoto a MCU ARM e o módulo de entradas e saídas digitais e analógicas para manipulação das portas I/O da MCU. Para validar o MoFA foram implementadas duas aplicações: um sistema supervisório para painéis fotovoltaicos e um sistema de controle PI de nível de líquido. Os resultados obtidos para cada aplicações são apresentados ao final deste trabalho. Para o desenvolvimento destas duas aplicações foi utilizado o microcontrolador ARM do Kit Tiny6410 da Friendly ARM. O trabalho foi realizado no laboratório do Grupo de Estudo e Desenvolvimento em Energia e Automação (GEDEA) da UFERSA / 2017-07-11

Foi realizado um estudo clínico prospectivo analisando os resultados obtidos no tratamento de 23 pacientes portadores de lesões do revestimento cutâneo de dimensões iguais ou menores a 20 cm de comprimento por 10 cm de largura com a utilização do retalho microcirúrgico lateral do braço ampliado distalmente ao epicôndilo lateral do cotovelo. Todos os pacientes foram tratados pelo Grupo de Mão e Microcirurgia do Instituto de Ortopedia da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, no período de dois anos, 2003 à 2005. Na presente casuística, tivemos 69.5% de pacientes do sexo masculino, 73.9% de origem traumática e a região receptora foi o membro inferior em 65.2% dos casos. A idade variou de 6 anos até 62 anos, com média de 32 anos. O seguimento mínimo foi de 5 meses. Houve sucesso na realização de 100% dos retalhos. As dimensões dos retalhos realizados neste trabalho variaram em comprimento, de 9 cm até 20 cm, com média de 14 cm e em largura, de 3 cm até 8 cm, com média de 5.5 cm. A maior distância entre o epicôndilo lateral e a extremidade distal do retalho utilizada neste estudo foi de 8 cm, variando de 2 cm até 8 cm, com média de 4.9 cm. O retalho microcirúrgico lateral do braço ampliado distalmente ao epicôndilo lateral do cotovelo mostrou-se seguro para a cobertura cutânea de lesões de dimensões iguais ou menores a 20 cm de comprimento por 10 cm de largura, com o prolongamento do retalho até 8 cm distal ao epicôndilo lateral / This prospective clinical study investigates the results of treatment of 23 patients with cutaneous lesions of no more then 20 cm of length by 10 cm of width, by means of a microsurgical lateral arm flap, distally extended by the elbow lateral epicondilyle. All patients came from the Hand and Microsurgery Group of the \"Instituto de Ortopedia da Faculdade de Medicina\" of the \"Universidade de São Paulo\", in a two years period from 2003 till 2005. Our population comprises the following basic statistics: 69.5% males, 73.9% of traumatic origin, the receiving region was the lower members in 73.9% of the cases. Age ranged form 6 to 64 years old, average 32 years. The minimum follow up was of 5 (five) months. The procedure was successful in 100% of the cases. The flap length dimension ranged from 9 cm up to 20 cm, with average 14 cm. The flap width dimension ranged from 3 cm up to 8 cm, with average 5.5 cm. The greater distance from the lateral epicondyle up to the end of the skin flap in this study was of 8 cm, ranging from 2 cm up to 8 cm, with 4.9 cm average. The microsurgical lateral arm flap, distally to lateral epicondyle showed itself to be safe for cutaneous covering of lesions of 20 cm or less length and 10 cm of less width, with the distal extension of the skin flap up to 8 cm from the lateral epicondyle

Abstract This bachelor thesis discusses existing performance analysis techniques for ARM based architecture processors. This includes a comparison between couple of performance analysis applications installed on two Android test devices. Each application monitored CPU performance of the device in three test scenarios. Each test was done in five iterations. The results were compared for each test and for each application. The results of these iterations were compared to find the most stable application among the rest.

A numerical model has been developed for the study of stratified tidal circulation in Indian Arm - a representative inlet on the southern coast of British Columbia. Equations for horizontal velocity, salt conservation, continuity, density (calculated as a linear function of salinity), and the hydrostatic approximation govern the dynamics. All equations have been laterally integrated under the assumption of negligible cross-inlet variability. The model is time dependent and includes nonlinear advective terms, horizontal and vertical turbulent diffusion of salt and momentum, and variations in width and depth. Provisions for surface wind stress and a flux of fresh water are also included, although neither was utilized in this study. An explicit finite difference scheme centred in both time and space was used to solve for the horizontal and vertical velocity components, salinity, and surface elevation on a staggered rectangular grid. A backward Euler scheme was used to suppress the computational mode. Tests using a semi-implicit scheme to solve the finite difference equations over realistic topography led to numerical instabilities at modest values of the time step - in spite of the unconditional stability criteria - suggesting that linear stability analysis may give misleading results for strongly nonlinear systems. Surface elevations calculated from tidal harmonic analysis and salinity timeseries derived from linearly interpolated CTD casts were prescribed at the open boundary. Initial and boundary conditions based on observations in Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm during the winter of 1974-75 were used to study the inlet's response to tidal forcing and to simulate the deep-water renewal that occurred during this period. Coefficients for the horizontal turbulent diffusion of momentum and salt were set equal to 10⁶ cm² s⁻¹. Reducing this value by a factor of two was found to have little impact on the solution. A further reduction to 10³ cm² s⁻¹ led to numerical instabilities under conditions of dense water inflow. The side friction term in the momentum balance was tuned to match calculated and observed dissipation rates in Burrard Inlet; leading to good agreement between the observed and calculated barotropic tide. Contour plots of tidal amplitudes and phases for model currents and salinities revealed a standing wave pattern for the K₁ and M₂ internal tides in Indian Arm; thus allowing for the possibility of resonance. A comparison of model results with vertical amplitude and phase profiles from harmonic analysis of Cyclesonde current meter timeseries at two locations in Indian Arm was consistent with this result. A least-squares fit was made of the vertical modal structure in the model to the complex tidal amplitudes. This led to calculations of the kinetic energy contained in each of the modes along the model inlet for the M₂ and K₁ constituents. Most of the energy was found to be contained in the barotropic and first baroclinic modes, with the latter dominating in the deep basin, and the former dominating near the sill. Second mode energy was significant for the K₁ constituent at some locations in Indian Arm. There are clear indications in the model of barotropic tidal energy being radiated into the inlet basin via the internal tide. Simulations of the influx of dense water into Indian Arm yielded exchange rates that are consistent with observed values and suggest the possibility of fine-tuning the model coefficients to allow prediction of future overturning events. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

The aim of this work is comparing three casting process simulation programs for porosity and microstructure prediction capabilities for die-casting. After confronting these results with experimentally measured data taken from real castings it could be said that simulation is pretty accurate for DAS microstructure prediction and hot-spot areas. Amount of measured porosity could not be compared with predicted values because specimens were not taken from the exact hot-spot areas.
