A simple constant-current electrocutaneous stimulator for high-impedance loads using low-cost, standard high-voltage components is presented. A voltage-regulator powers an oscillator built across the primary of a transformer whose secondary delivers, after rectification, the high-voltage supply to switched current-mirrors in the driving stage. Since the compliance high-voltage is proportional to the stimulation current, overall power consumption is minimized. By adjusting the regulated voltage, control of the pulsed-current amplitude is achieved. A prototype with readily available components features stimulation currents of amplitude and pulsewidth in the range 0≤Iskin≤20mA and 50μs ≤Tpulse≤1ms, respectively. Pulse-repetition spans from 1 Hz to 10Hz. Worst-case ripple is 3.7% @Iskin=1mA. Measured pulse fall-time is shorter than 32μs. Overall consumption is 4.4W @Iskin=20mA. Subject isolation from line is 4KV.

This work intends to undertake a comparative reading of two works of two different artists: The painting The Origin of the World by Gustave Courbet and the poem Origo Vitae by Haroldo de Campos and, from this reading, to verify how the border between the visible and the invisible may vanish and how, in a process of transcodifying, one mirrors the other in a dialogue that, besides surpassing different codes and times, produces new meanings and elicits a conversation about the act of reading these different codes.

Autonomous robots must be able to learn and maintain models of their environments. In this context, the present work considers techniques for the classification and extraction of features from images in joined with artificial neural networks in order to use them in the system of mapping and localization of the mobile robot of Laboratory of Automation and Evolutive Computer (LACE). To do this, the robot uses a sensorial system composed for ultrasound sensors and a catadioptric vision system formed by a camera and a conical mirror. The mapping system is composed by three modules. Two of them will be presented in this paper: the classifier and the characterizer module. The first module uses a hierarchical neural network to do the classification; the second uses techiniques of extraction of attributes of images and recognition of invariant patterns extracted from the places images set. The neural network of the classifier module is structured in two layers, reason and intuition, and is trained to classify each place explored for the robot amongst four predefine classes. The final result of the exploration is the construction of a topological map of the explored environment. Results gotten through the simulation of the both modules of the mapping system will be presented in this paper. © 2008 IEEE.

Payload and high-tech are important characteristics when the goals are aerospace applications. The development of the technologies associated to these applications has interests that transcend national boundaries and are of strategic importance to the nations. Ultra lightweight mirrors, supports and structures for optical systems are important part of this subject. This paper reports the development of SiC substrates, obtained by pressing, to be applied on embedded precision reflective optics. Different SiC granulometries, having YAG as sintering additive, were processed by: ball milling, drying and deagglomeration, sift, uniaxial and isostatic pressing, and, finally, argon atmosphere sintering at 1900°C. Different porosities were obtained according to the amount of organic material added. Into one side of the samples pellets of organic material were introduced to generate voids to reduce the weight of samples as a whole. The substrates were grinding and polished, looking for a SiC surface having low porosity, as porosity is directly related to light scattering that should be avoided on optical surfaces. Laser surface treatments were applied (using or not SiC barbotine) as a method to improve the surface quality. The samples were characterized by optical and laser confocal microscopy, roughness measurements and mechanical tests. The results are very promissory for future applications. © 2012 Materials Research Society.

O primeiro objetivo do presente trabalho é calcular a força quântica exata que atua sobre as fronteiras de uma cavidade, bem como o comportamento exato da densidade de energia numa cavidade não estática, onde ambas as fronteiras executam movimentos prescritos arbitrários. O modelo considerado é o do campo escalar não massivo em 1 + 1 dimensões, sendo que o campo obedece à condição de Dirichlet em cada uma das fronteiras. Considerando o vácuo como estado inicial do campo, nós mostramos que a densidade de energia em um dado ponto do espaço-tempo pode ser obtida através do traçado de uma sequência de linhas nulas, conectando o valor da densidade de energia nesse ponto a um certo valor conhecido da densidade de energia em um ponto das “zonas estáticas”. O segundo objetivo é mostrar que para movimentos específicos das fronteiras, particularmente para os quais ambas voltam às suas posições iniciais em instantes múltiplos do comprimento inicial da cavidade, o método exato por nós obtido permite encontrar soluções analíticas escritas como uma expansão em série na variável que controla as amplitudes de movimento das fronteiras. Os resultados analíticos por nós obtidos são aplicáveis a uma vasta classe de movimentos, a qual inclui a grande maioria dos casos ressonantes estudados na literatura. O terceiro objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar, através dos métodos de cálculos desenvolvidos aqui, o fenômeno da interferência na energie e na densidade de energia em cavidades com duas fronteiras móveis, obtendo fórmulas genéricas para os termos de interferência respectivos.
