RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) identifies object by using the radio frequency which is a non-contact automatic identification technique. This technology has shown its powerful practical value and potential in the field of manufacturing, retailing, logistics and hospital automation. Unfortunately, the key problem that impacts the application of RFID system is the security of the information. Recently, researchers have demonstrated solutions to security threats in RFID technology. Among these solutions are several key management protocols. This master dissertations presents a performance evaluation of Neural Cryptography and Diffie-Hellman protocols in RFID systems. For this, we measure the processing time inherent in these protocols. The tests was developed on FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) platform with Nios IIr embedded processor. The research methodology is based on the aggregation of knowledge to development of new RFID systems through a comparative analysis between these two protocols. The main contributions of this work are: performance evaluation of protocols (Diffie-Hellman encryption and Neural) on embedded platform and a survey on RFID security threats. According to the results the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol is more suitable for RFID systems

This work proposes a computer simulator for sucker rod pumped vertical wells. The simulator is able to represent the dynamic behavior of the systems and the computation of several important parameters, allowing the easy visualization of several pertinent phenomena. The use of the simulator allows the execution of several tests at lower costs and shorter times, than real wells experiments. The simulation uses a model based on the dynamic behavior of the rod string. This dynamic model is represented by a second order partial differencial equation. Through this model, several common field situations can be verified. Moreover, the simulation includes 3D animations, facilitating the physical understanding of the process, due to a better visual interpretation of the phenomena. Another important characteristic is the emulation of the main sensors used in sucker rod pumping automation. The emulation of the sensors is implemented through a microcontrolled interface between the simulator and the industrial controllers. By means of this interface, the controllers interpret the simulator as a real well. A "fault module" was included in the simulator. This module incorporates the six more important faults found in sucker rod pumping. Therefore, the analysis and verification of these problems through the simulator, allows the user to identify such situations that otherwise could be observed only in the field. The simulation of these faults receives a different treatment due to the different boundary conditions imposed to the numeric solution of the problem. Possible applications of the simulator are: the design and analysis of wells, training of technicians and engineers, execution of tests in controllers and supervisory systems, and validation of control algorithms

Substitution of fuzzy logic control in an electrical system normally controlled by proportional-integral frequency was studied and analyzed. A linear model of an electrical system, the concepts which govern the theory of fuzzy logic, and the application of this theory to systems control, are briefly presented. The methodology of fuzzy logic was then applied to develop a model for an electrical energy system. The results of the simulation demonstrated that fuzzy logic control eliminated the area frequency error and permitted that only the area experiencing an increase in charge responds to this variation. Based on the results, it is concluded that control based on fuzzy logic is simple, is easy to maintain, is of low cost, and can be used to substitute traditional velocity controllers.

This paper is based on the analysis and implementation of a new drive system applied to refrigeration systems, complying with the restrictions imposed by the IEC standards (Harmonic/Flicker/EMI-Electromagnetic Interference restrictions), in order to obtain high efficiency, high power factor, reduced harmonic distortion in the input current and reduced electromagnetic interference, with excellent performance in temperature control of a refrigeration prototype system (automatic control, precision and high dynamic response). The proposal is replace the single-phase motor by a three-phase motor, in the conventional refrigeration system. In this way, a proper control technique can be applied, using a closed-loop (feedback control), that will allow an accurate adjustment of the desirable temperature. The proposed refrigeration prototype uses a 0.5Hp three-phase motor and an open (Belt-Drive) Bitzer IY type compressor. The input rectifier stage's features include the reduction in the input current ripple, the reduction in the output voltage ripple, the use of low stress devices, low volume for the EMI input filter, high input power factor (PF), and low total harmonic distortion (THD) in the input current, in compliance with the IEC61000-3-2 standards. The digital controller for the output three-phase inverter stage has been developed using a conventional voltage-frequency control (scalar V/f control), and a simplified stator oriented Vector control, in order to verify the feasibility and performance of the proposed digital controls for continuous temperature control applied at the refrigerator prototype. ©2008 IEEE.

This work focuses on applying fuzzy control embedded in microcontrollers in an experimental apparatus using magnetorheological fluid damper. The non-linear behavior of the magnetorheological dampers associated with the parametric variations on vehicle suspension models corroborate the use of the fuzzy controllers. The fundamental formulation of this controller is discussed and its performance is shown through numeric simulations. An experimental apparatus representing a two degree of freedom system containing a magnetorheological damper is used to identify the main parameters and to evaluate the performance of the closed-loop system with the embedded low-cost microcontroller-based fuzzy controller. © 2013 Brazilian Society for Automatics - SBA.

The new digital technologies have led to widespread use of cloud computing, recognition of the potential of big data analytics, and significant progress in aspects of the Internet of Things, such as home automation, smart cities and grids and digital manufacturing. In addition to closing gaps in respect of the basic necessities of access and usage, now the conditions must be established for using the new platforms and finding ways to participate actively in the creation of content and even new applications and platforms. This message runs through the three chapters of this book. Chapter I presents the main features of the digital revolution, emphasizing that today’s world economy is a digital economy. Chapter II examines the region’s strengths and weaknesses with respect to digital access and consumption. Chapter III reviews the main policy debates and urges countries to take a more proactive approach towards, for example, regulation, network neutrality and combating cybercrime. The conclusion highlights two crucial elements: first, the need to take steps towards a single regional digital market that can compete in a world of global platforms by tapping the benefits of economies of scale and developing network economies; and second, the significance of the next stage of the digital agenda for Latin America and the Caribbean (eLAC2018), which will embody the latest updates to a cooperation strategy that has been in place for over a decade.

Embora a mercantilização de recursos minerais na Amazônia oriental brasileira tenha envolvido a comercialização, por mais de cinco décadas, de mercadorias bastante diversas, extraídas e transformadas industrialmente por empresas que foram instaladas em momentos históricos distintos, suas repercussões no desenvolvimento de certas áreas da região guardam importantes singularidades e têm lógicas e características, em grande parte, comuns. O trabalho sintetiza os macrocenários nos quais se instalaram empresas mínero-metal úrgicas e analisa as razões das limitações que as atividades desenvolvidas por essas empresas têm para impulsionar dinâmicas de desenvolvimento amplas e socialmente enraizadas.

A atual configuração do mundo do trabalho caracteriza-se pela complexidade e intensificação dos riscos à saúde do trabalhador. A presente tese aborda trabalho e saúde a partir do referencial da psicodinâmica de Dejours, privilegiando a categoria prazer-sofrimento, no contexto do trabalho com automação no Pólo Industrial de Manaus - PIM. Visando situar os aspectos macroeconômicos, apresenta-se a condição sócio-econômica dos operadores e o contexto da reestruturação produtiva do PIM, que se caracterizou por intensificação da automação. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi analisar a organização de trabalho com automação e seus desdobramentos sobre a saúde dos operadores e das operadoras de máquina de inserção automática, focalizando o prazer-sofrimento e seus reflexos sobre o processo de saúde-adoecimento. Elegeu-se a abordagem qualitativa, em consonância com a fundamentação teórico-metodológica de Dejours. A pesquisa empírica foi realizada na área de inserção automática das duas empresas de origem japonesa, de grande porte, do segmento eletroeletrônico do PIM. Participaram como sujeitos 21 operadores de máquinas (dez de uma e onze de outra empresa). A principal fonte de dados foi a fala dos sujeitos, que responderam a uma entrevista individual semi-estruturada. Para a análise de dados foi realizada uma articulação da sistemática da Grounded Theory à base psicodinâmica, como opção de técnica qualitatativa adequada a entrevistas individuais. A preocupação com a “qualidade” se destacou como categoria central, mostrando-se presente em todas as esferas da organização de trabalho e modulando a vivência de prazer-sofrimento: dentre as principais fontes de prazer, realizar o trabalho com perfeição foi reiteradamente mencionado; em contrapartida, o medo de errar é uma das principais fontes de sofrimento, causa permanente de tensão, agravante do risco de adoecimento. O prazer provém da identificação com a tarefa de operar máquinas, de alta tecnologia, sem cometer erros; aprender mais e dominar a “tecnologia de ponta” é uma fonte de mobilização subjetiva. O sofrimento decorre da sobrecarga de trabalho, mal remunerado, sob intensa pressão por “qualidade”. Para suportar o sofrimento, os trabalhadores constroem estratégias coletivas de defesa: usam gracejos direcionados aos colegas que cometem erros, interpretados como recurso para reduzir o sofrimento originário do medo de falhar. Utilizam ainda grande diversidade de estratégias individuais de defesa, reflexo do individualismo. O reconhecimento, considerado na psicodinâmica como via privilegiada para a ressignificação do sofrimento, é pouco presente: menos de metade dos operadores se considera devidamente reconhecido por seu trabalho; mencionam os baixos salários como evidência da falta de reconhecimento. Em uma das empresas também falta o reconhecimento simbólico, agravando o sofrimento. O predomínio do sofrimento sobre o prazer no trabalho conduz a um desequilíbrio que resulta no uso exacerbado de defesas: manifestam-se as patologias sociais do trabalho, dentre as quais foi identificada a patologia da sobrecarga, relacionada à carga excessiva de trabalho que é importa aos operadores e às operadoras, pois à aquisição de máquinas corresponde a redução de pessoas. O sofrimento no trabalho, no PIM, está sendo intensificado com a automação, inserida no contexto de super-exploração do trabalho, integrante da organização flexível do capital.
