Completely digital workflows for the fabrication of implant-supported removable restorations are not yet common in clinical dental practice. The aim of the current case report is to illustrate a reliable and comfortable workflow that reasonably merges conventional and digital workflows for the CAD/CAM-fabrication of implant-supported overdentures. The 53-year old patient was supplied with a digitally processed complete denture in the upper jaw and, simultaneously, with an overdenture supported by four interforaminal implants in the lower jaw. The overdenture included a completely digitally processed and manufactured alloy framework that had been fabricated by selective laser sintering. The case report indicates that digital manufacturing processes for extensive and complex removable restorations are possible. However, as it is currently not yet possible to digitally obtain functional impressions, future developments and innovations might focus on that issue.

Orientador: Jose Sanches Mantovani / Resumo: Neste trabalho propõe-se um método para a localização de faltas que, em conjunto com a lógica de um relé diferencial numérico, deve ser usado para proteção de linhas de transmissão com compensação série controlada por tiristores (TCSC). Este método visa solucionar o problema de localização de faltas melhorando a precisão dos algoritmos que utilizam medições de sinais de tensão e corrente numa terminação da linha de transmissão. O cálculo da distância entre a terminação da linha de transmissão e o ponto de incidência da falta é realizado utilizando dois procedimentos: um para faltas produzida no trecho entre a terminação local da linha de transmissão e o TCSC; e o outro para faltas no trecho entre o TCSC e a terminação remota. A detecção do trecho de incidência da falta é obtido usando as medições de escorregamento angular dos sinais de corrente em ambos os extremos da linha de transmissão e a medição da resistência de falta no extremo local, que é variável durante o intervalo de início até um ciclo depois da ocorrência da falta. A aplicação da lógica difusa na comparação destas medições permite detectar com precisão o trecho com falta. O método proposto foi testado usando um sistema teste da literatura onde múltiplos casos de faltas em diferentes pontos da linha de transmissão foram simulados. Os resultados mostram a capacidade do algoritmo em localizar precisamente a posição de ocorrência da falta. / Abstract: This paper proposes a methodology for locating faults in transmission lines with thyristor-controlled series compensation (TCSC) that are protected by numerical differential relays. The proposed methodology aims to overcome problems of fault location improving the accuracy of algorithms that use voltage and current measurement signals from a transmission line termination. The calculation of the distance between the transmission line termination and the fault incidence point employs two procedures: one for faults in the transmission line section limited by the local termination and TCSC; and other for faults in the section limited by the TCSC and remote termination. The detection of the fault incidence section is achieved using measurements of angular deviation for both transmission line terminations and the measurement of fault resistance in the local termination, which varies during the interval from the beginning to one cycle after the fault occurrence. The use of fuzzy logic for comparing these measurements permits the accurate detection of the fault incidence section. The proposed method is tested using a test system from literature system where multiple fault cases in different positions of the transmission line are simulated. The results show the algorithm capability to locate accurately the position of fault occurrence. / Mestre

The Mobile Electronic Dispensary System (MEDS) is an indoor medical dispensary system where robots locate and travel to patients within a grid in order to deliver medication or other medical supplies based on a predefined schedule. For older people or individuals with physical or mental disabilities, it is important to ensure that medications are taken as prescribed. Missing or mixing dosages can cause unwanted and even harmful consequences. As individuals grow older or battle disabilities, it is expected that adhering to their medicine regimen will be a daily challenge without the assistance of a fulltime caregiver. Therefore, to assist individuals in maintaining their independence, MEDS ensures the proper medicine is dispensed to the patient at the prescribed time and dosage. At the core of MEDS is a scheduler that maintains the medicines to be dispensed, including the times and dosages. Once a scheduled time arrives to deliver medicine to a patient, MEDS instructs the appropriate robot to wake up, locate the patient within a defined grid, and then travel to the patient and deliver the medicine. Upon receiving the delivery, the patient will accept the medicine physically and then update their mobile device, informing MEDS that the medicine was successfully delivered. At this time, the robot will return to its home base within the grid. The patients are within the confines of a building where GPS is not a viable solution to track items to pinpoint accuracy. Therefore, an indoor location based system with beacons and listeners are required in order to define a grid and enable robots to locate and travel to the patient. This paper defines and details the programs, database, algorithms, and hardware of MEDS using the Cricket Indoor Location System and iRobot Creates. / text

<p> This thesis investigates the processing of emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signals which are used in search and rescue satellite-aided tracking (SARSAT) systems. Essentially, the system relies on the transmission of ELT signals from a distressed platform being relayed through an orbiting satellite to an earth station where signal processing can be performed. </p> <p> The methods of signal processing investigated here include both linear and nonlinear. The linear methods include the window function, the autocorrelation function, the digital filtering and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The nonlinear processing is based on the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) . In addition, additive white Gaussian noise has been added to simulate the performance under different carrier-to-noise density ratio conditions. </p> <p> For a single ELT signal, it is shown in the thesis that the MEM processor gives good spectral performance as compared to the FFT when applied to all types of modulation. When multiple ELT signals are present, the MEM also provides certain benefits in improving the spectral performance as compared to the FFT. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (ME)

This thesis describes an investigation into the influences of arcing and conductor deflection due to magnetic forces on the accuracy of fault locator algorithms in electrical distribution networks. The work also explores the possibilities of using the properties of an arc to identify two specific types of faults that may occur on an overhead distribution line. A new technique using the convolution operator is introduced for deriving differential equation algorithms. The first algorithm was derived by estimating the voltage as an array of impulse functions while the second algorithm was derived using a piecewise linear voltage signal. These algorithms were tested on a simulated single-phase circuit using a PI-model line. It was shown that the second algorithm gave identical results as the existing dynamic integration operator type algorithm. The first algorithm used a transformation to a three-phase circuit that did not require any matrix calculations as an equivalent sequence component circuit is utilised for a single-phase to ground fault. A simulated arc was used to test the influence of the non-linearity of an arc on the accuracy of this algorithm. The simulations showed that the variation in the resistance due to arcing causes large oscillations of the algorithm output and a 40th order mean filter was used to increase the accuracy and stability of the algorithm. The same tests were performed on a previously developed fault locator algorithm that includes a square-wave power frequency proximation of the fault arc. This algorithm gave more accurate and stable results even with large arc length variations. During phase-to-phase fault conditions, two opposing magnetic fields force the conductors outwards away from each other and this movement causes a change in the total inductance of the line. A three dimensional finite element line model based on standard wave equations but incorporating magnetic forces was used to evaluate this phenomenon. The results show that appreciable errors in the distance estimations can be expected especially on poorly tensioned di stribution lines.New techniques were also explored that are based on identification of the fault arc. Two methods were successfully tested on simulated networks to identify a breakingconductor. The methods are based on the rate of increase in arc length during the breaking of the conductor. The first method uses arc voltage increase as the basis of the detection while the second method make use of the increase in the non-linearity of the network resistance to identify a breaking conductor. An unsuccessful attempt was made to identifying conductor clashing caused by high winds: it was found that too many parameters influence the separation speed of the two conductors. No unique characteristic could be found to identify the conductor clashing using the speed of conductor separation. The existing algorithm was also used to estimate the voltage in a distribution network during a fault for power quality monitoring purposes.

Η αύξηση της διαθέσιμης Πληροφορίας στον Παγκόσμιο Ιστό είναι ραγδαία. Η παρατήρηση αυτή παρότρυνε πολλούς ερευνητές να επικεντρώσουν το έργο τους στην εξαγωγή χρήσιμων γνωρισμάτων από διαδικτυακά έγγραφα, όπως ιστοσελίδες, εικόνες, βίντεο, με σκοπό τη ενίσχυση της διαδικασίας κατηγοριοποίησης ιστοσελίδων. Ένας πόρος που περιέχει πληροφορία και δεν έχει διερευνηθεί διεξοδικά για γλώσσες εκτός της αγγλικής, είναι η διεύθυνση ιστοσελίδας (URL- Uniform Recourse Locator). Το κίνητρο της διπλωματικής αυτής εργασίας είναι το γεγονός ότι ένα σημαντικό υποσύνολο των χρηστών του διαδικτύου δείχνει ενδιαφέρον για δικτυακούς πόρους, των οποίων οι διευθύνσεις URL περιλαμβάνουν όρους προερχόμενους από τη μητρική τους γλώσσα (η οποία δεν είναι η αγγλική), γραμμένους με λατινικούς χαρακτήρες. Προτείνεται μέθοδος η οποία θα αναγνωρίζει και θα εξάγει τις λέξεις-κλειδιά από διευθύνσεις ιστοσελίδων (URLs), εστιάζοντας στο ελληνικό Διαδίκτυο και συγκεκριμένα σε URLs που περιέχουν ελληνικούς όρους. Το κύριο ζήτημα της προτεινόμενης μεθόδου είναι ότι οι ελληνικές λέξεις μπορούν να μεταγλωττίζονται με λατινικούς χαρακτήρες σύμφωνα με πολλούς διαφορετικούς τρόπους, καθώς και το γεγονός ότι τα URLs μπορούν να περιέχουν περισσότερες της μιας λέξεις χωρίς κάποιο διαχωριστικό. Παρόλη την ύπαρξη προηγούμενων προσεγγίσεων για την επεξεργασία ελληνικού διαδικτυακού περιεχομένου, όπως αναζητήσεις στο ελληνικό διαδίκτυο και αναγνώριση οντότητας σε ελληνικές ιστοσελίδες, καμία από τις παραπάνω δεν βασίζεται σε διευθύνσεις URL. Επιπλέον, έχουν αναπτυχθεί πολλές τεχνικές για την κατηγοριοποίηση ιστοσελίδων με βάση κυρίως τις διευθύνσεις URL, αλλά καμία δεν διερευνά την περίπτωση του ελληνικού διαδικτύου. Η προτεινόμενη μέθοδος περιέχει δύο βασικά στοιχεία: το μεταγλωττιστή και τον κατακερματιστή. Ο μεταγλωττιστής, βασισμένος σε ένα ελληνικό λεξικό και ένα σύνολο κανόνων, μετατρέπει τις λέξεις που είναι γραμμένες με λατινικούς χαρακτήρες σε ελληνικούς όρους ενώ παράλληλα ο κατακερματιστής τμηματοποιεί τη διεύθυνση URL σε λέξεις με νόημα, εξάγοντας, έτσι τελικά ελληνικούς όρους που αποτελούν λέξεις κλειδιά. Η πειραματική αξιολόγηση της προτεινόμενης μεθόδου σε δείγμα ελληνικών URLs αποδεικνύει ότι μπορεί να αξιοποιηθεί εποικοδομητικά στην αυτόματη αναγνώριση λέξεων-κλειδιών σε ελληνικά URLs. / The available information on the WWW is increasing rapidly. This observation has triggered many researchers to focus their work on extracting useful features from web documents that would enhance the task of web classification. A quite informative resource that has not been thoroughly explored for languages other than English, is the uniform recourse locator (URL). Motivated by the fact that a significant part of the Web users is interested in web resources, whose URLs contain terms from their non English native languages,written using Latin characters, we propose a method that identifies and extracts successfully keywords within URLs focusing on the Greek Web and especially ons URLs, containing Greek terms. The main issue of this approach is that Greek words can be transliterated to Latin characters in many different ways based on how the words are pronounced rather than on how they are written. Although there are previous attempts on similar issues, like Greek web searches and entity recognition in Greek Web Pages, none of them is based on URLs. In addition, there are many techniques on web page categorization based mainly on URLs but noone explores the case of Greek terms. The proposed method uses a three-step approach; firstly, a normalized URL is divided into its basic components, according to URI protocol (scheme :// host / path-elements / document . extension). The domain part is splitted on the apperance of punctuation marks or numbers. Secondly, domain-tokens are segmented into meaningful tokens using a set of transliteration rules and a Greek dictionary. Finally, in order to identify useful keywords, a score is assigned to each extracted keyword based on its length and whether the word is nested in another word. The algorithm is evaluated on a random sample of 1,000 URLs collected manually. We perform a human-based evaluation comparing the keywords extracted automatically with the keywords extracted manually when no other additional information than the URL is available. The results look promising.
