Metrologia na inspeção de componentes aeronáuticos

O presente relatório sintetiza as atividades de pesquisa e de campo desenvolvidas no estágio realizado na empresa Caetano Aeronautic, no âmbito da unidade curricular “Dissertação/Projeto/Estágio Profissional do Mestrado em Engenharia de Instrumentação e Metrologia, do Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto. O estágio teve como principal objetivo adquirir competências para a realização da inspeção de componentes aeronáuticos, atividade presente ao longo de todo o processo produtivo da empresa. O setor aeronáutico é um setor amplamente tecnológico e o seu Sistema de Gestão de Qualidade tem um vasto suporte documental associado. Numa primeira fase do trabalho foi feito um estudo intensivo do Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade da Caetano Aeronautic, de forma a se perceber quais os documentos inerentes ao sistema e respetivos conteúdos. Em seguida, foi necessário realizar uma análise ao fluxo produtivo da organização, para se perceber todo o processo de produção de um componente aeronáutico e documentação associada. Visto que todo o trabalho de inspeção de componentes exige conhecimentos sólidos na área da Metrologia dimensional, tornou-se fundamental consolidar competências nesta área, objetivo que foi concretizado ao longo do estágio. Com vista a contribuir para o melhoramento do processo de inspeção dos componentes aeronáuticos na empresa, foram identificados e analisados no decorrer do trabalho realizado, os problemas presentes quer ao nível da produção quer da inspeção e feitas propostas de melhoria, postas em prática sempre que possível.

Smart Grid Communication Technologies in the Brazilian Electrical Sector

Intelligent electrical grids can be considered as the next generation of electrical energy transportation. The enormous potential leads to worldwide focus of research on the technology of smart grids. This paper aims to present a review of the Brazilian electricity sector in context with the integration of communication technologies for smart grids. The work gives an overview of the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy in the Brazil and a brief summary of the current electricity market. Smart grid technologies are introduced and the requirements for the Brazilian power system are pointed out. Various technologies for communication within an intelligent network are presented and their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages are compared to the Brazilian conditions. In addition, a summary is given of current pilot projects for Smart Grid technologies within Brazil, as well as a presentation of individual selected projects.

Enhancing reflexivity and technology in translation learning: case study on the use of ePortfolio as a training environment

In this paper we describe a casestudy of an experiment on how reflexivity and technology can enhance learning, by using ePorfolios as a training environment to develop translation skills. Translation is today a multiskilled job and translators need to assure their clients a good performance and quality, both in language and in technology domains. In order to accomplish it, for the translator all the tasks and processes he develops appear as crucial, being pretranslation and posttranslation processes equally important as the translation itself, namely as far as autonomy, reflexive and critical skills are concerned. Finally, the need and relevance for collaborative tasks and networks amongst virtual translation communities, led us to the decision of implementing ePortfolios as a tool to develop the requested skills and extend the use of Internet in translation, namely in terminology management phases, for the completion of each task, by helping students in the management of the projects deadlines, improving their knowledge on the construction and management of translation resources and deepening their awareness about the concepts related to the development and usability of ePorfolios.

User perception and influencing factors of technology in everyday life

An increasing amount of research is being developed in the area where technology and humans meet. The success or failure of technologies and the question whether technology helps humans to fulfill their goals or whether it hinders them is in most cases not a technical one. User Perception and Influencing Factors of Technology in Everyday Life addresses issues of human and technology interaction. The research in this work is interdisciplinary, ranging from more technical subjects such as computer science, engineering, and information systems, to non-technical descriptions of technology and human interaction from the point of view of sociology or philosophy. This book is perfect for academics, researchers, and professionals alike as it presents a set of theories that allow us to understand the interaction of technology and humans and to put it to practical use.

Human interaction with technology for working, communicating, and learning: advancements

The way humans interact with technology is undergoing a tremendous change. It is hard to imagine the lives we live today without the benefits of technology that we take for granted. Applying research in computer science, engineering, and information systems to non-technical descriptions of technology, such as human interaction, has shaped and continues to shape our lives. Human Interaction with Technology for Working, Communicating, and Learning: Advancements provides a framework for conceptual, theoretical, and applied research in regards to the relationship between technology and humans. This book is unique in the sense that it does not only cover technology, but also science, research, and the relationship between these fields and individuals' experience. This book is a must have for anyone interested in this research area, as it provides a voice for all users and a look into our future.

Technology for creativity and innovation: tools, techniques and applications

It is widely accepted that organizations and individuals must be innovative and continually create new knowledge and ideas to deal with rapid change.

From the moment we get up in the morning until the time that we go to bed at night, technology is present in almost every moment, even if we are not aware of it. Some of the most basic activities we need to perform regularly could not be carried out without technology. Sociological and Philosophical Aspects of Human Interaction with Technology: Advancing Concepts presents a careful blend of conceptual, theoretical and applied research in regards to the relationship between technology and humans. This book explores the importance of these interactions, aspects related with trust, communication, data protection, usability concerning organizational change, and e-learning. The advancement of these theories and practices will benefit from this publication as it provides a voice for the users.

A Importância dos catálogos para o sector do vestuário português qualidade estética e gráfica dos catálogos

O catálogo é um produto de comunicação com presença forte no mundo da moda, reflexo por excelência de cada coleção e imagem de marca. Verifica-se que os critérios objectivos de avaliação dos catálogos não foram ainda alvo de uma análise estruturada e aprofundada, apesar da importância que possuem para as empresas do sector do Vestuário. Assim, decidiuse estudar os elementos que definem o nível de qualidade estética e gráfica dos catálogos de vestuário. Analisaram-se catálogos de marcas portuguesas e internacionais da indústria da moda cuja qualidade é reconhecida pelos profissionais de design. Como resultado desse estudo foi criada a Matriz AQC - Matriz de Avaliação da Qualidade dos Catálogos Produto e a Matriz AQC – Matriz de avaliação da Qualidade dos Catálogos Imagem.
