Diseño electrónico de la tarjeta de interfaz y control para un equipo de seguimiento en elevación en un subsistema de contramedidas electrónicas

Como apoyo al Subsistema ECM tradicional de los sistemas de Guerra Electrónica, surge el Equipo de Seguimiento en Elevación cuyo fin es la búsqueda de la amenaza en elevación. Ante la necesidad de un mayor número de líneas entre los bloques internos de este Equipo de Seguimiento, se hace necesario el diseño de una Tarjeta de Interfaz y Control. La tarjeta se ocupará de realizar el control de datos y flujo de señales de módulos RF que componen el Equipo, haciendo de interfaz entre las Tarjetas Procesadoras y Digitalizadoras, así como entre la Tarjeta de Proceso y el Bloque de Recepción. Una vez que se haya realizado el análisis de la necesidad de controlar estas señales, estudiado las especificaciones y los requisitos funcionales del Sistema, se procederá a implementar el diseño hardware y desarrollo firmware de la Tarjeta de Interfaz y Control de un Equipo de Seguimiento en Elevación para un Subsistema ECM, que constituye el objetivo de este PFC. ABSTRACT. In order to find a threat on elevation, and as a support on the basic ECM subsystems of E-war systems, the Elevation Tracking Equipment appears. To the need of a bigger number of lines between inside blocks of this Tracking Equipment, the design of an Interface and Control Board is needed. This board will deal with the data control and with the flow of RF modules signals that set up the Equipment, and will also work as an interface between the Processing and Digitalizing Board, as well as between the Process Board and the Reception Block. Once the signal control necessity analysis has been made, and once the specifications and functional System requirements have been studied, the hardware design and the firmware development will be ran as a target of PFC.

Traditional education vs modern education. What is the impact of teaching techniques' evolution on students learning process?

The main objective of this article is to focus on the analysis of teaching techniques, ranging from the use of the blackboard and chalk in old traditional classes, using slides and overhead projectors in the eighties and use of presentation software in the nineties, to the video, electronic board and network resources nowadays. Furthermore, all the aforementioned, is viewed under the different mentalities in which the teacher conditions the student using the new teaching technique, improving soft skills but maybe leading either to encouragement or disinterest, and including the lack of educational knowledge consolidation at scientific, technology and specific levels. In the same way, we study the process of adaptation required for teachers, the differences in the processes of information transfer and education towards the student, and even the existence of teachers who are not any longer appealed by their work due which has become much simpler due to new technologies and the greater ease in the development of classes due to the criteria described on the new Grade Programs adopted by the European Higher Education Area. Moreover, it is also intended to understand the evolution of students’ profiles, from the eighties to present time, in order to understand certain attitudes, behaviours, accomplishments and acknowledgements acquired over the semesters within the degree Programs. As an Educational Innovation Group, another key question also arises. What will be the learning techniques in the future?. How these evolving matters will affect both positively and negatively on the mentality, attitude, behaviour, learning, achievement of goals and satisfaction levels of all elements involved in universities’ education? Clearly, this evolution from chalk to the electronic board, the three-dimensional view of our works and their sequence, greatly facilitates the understanding and adaptation later on to the business world, but does not answer to the unknowns regarding the knowledge and the full development of achievement’s indicators in basic skills of a degree. This is the underlying question which steers the roots of the presented research.

Metaphor and Genre: An Approach to improve the learning process of English for Aeronautics

This study suggests a theoretical framework for improving the teaching/ learning process of English employed in the Aeronautical discourse that brings together cognitive learning strategies, Genre Analysis and the Contemporary theory of Metaphor (Lakoff and Johnson 1980; Lakoff 1993). It maintains that cognitive strategies such as imagery, deduction, inference and grouping can be enhanced by means of metaphor and genre awareness in the context of content based approach to language learning. A list of image metaphors and conceptual metaphors which comes from the terminological database METACITEC is provided. The metaphorical terms from the area of Aeronautics have been taken from specialised dictionaries and have been categorised according to the conceptual metaphors they respond to, by establishing the source domains and the target domains, as well as the semantic networks found. This information makes reference to the internal mappings underlying the discourse of aeronautics reflected in five aviation accident case studies which are related to accident reports from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and provides an important source for designing language teaching tasks. La Lingüística Cognitiva y el Análisis del Género han contribuido a la mejora de la enseñanza de segundas lenguas y, en particular, al desarrollo de la competencia lingüística de los alumnos de inglés para fines específicos. Este trabajo pretende perfeccionar los procesos de enseñanza y el aprendizaje del lenguaje empleado en el discurso aeronáutico por medio de la práctica de estrategias cognitivas y prestando atención a la Teoría del análisis del género y a la Teoría contemporánea de la metáfora (Lakoff y Johnson 1980; Lakoff 1993). Con el propósito de crear recursos didácticos en los que se apliquen estrategias metafóricas, se ha elaborado un listado de metáforas de imagen y de metáforas conceptuales proveniente de la base de datos terminológica META-CITEC. Estos términos se han clasificado de acuerdo con las metáforas conceptuales y de imagen existentes en esta área de conocimiento. Para la enseñanza de este lenguaje de especialidad, se proponen las correspondencias y las proyecciones entre el dominio origen y el dominio meta que se han hallado en los informes de accidentes aéreos tomados de la Junta federal de la Seguridad en el Transporte (NTSB)
