Mecanismo portador articulado para equipos de clasificación

Mecanismo portador articulado para equipos de clasificación. El sistema propuesto tiene por objeto proporcionar un mecanismo portante de objetos de forma individualizada para equipos de clasificación por peso e indicadores externos, como el tamaño, color, defectos superficiales, etc. Dispone de dos conjuntos de elementos que se van alternando en la cadena de clasificación: el sistema de giro y el sistema de pesado/vaciado. El sistema de giro es el encargado de hacer rotar los objetos en la zona dotada de los medios para la toma de imágenes. Está formado por parejas de elementos rodantes unidos a un eje que bascula lateralmente. Los objetos se alojan en el hueco definido por cada dos ejes consecutivos, de tal manera que apoyan en cuatro elementos rodantes. Una vez que se han tomado las imágenes el eje que soporta los elementos rodantes bascula y deposita el objeto a clasificar sobre el mecanismo de pesado/vaciado.

Actuador con mecanismo de rigidez variable y par umbral

Actuador con mecanismo de rigidez variable y par umbral, del tipo de los utilizados en articulaciones de revolución de brazos robóticos y que pueden modificar su rigidez. El actuador incorpora un motor (1) que se encarga de controlar la posición de equilibrio del eslabón de salida (13). El mecanismo contiene un resorte (18) y una palanca (12). La rigidez del mecanismo puede ser modificada variando la posición de esta palanca (12) mediante un motor (14). Dicha rigidez determina el valor del giro entre la posición de la polea (2) solidaria al eje de salida del motor (1) y la posición del eslabón (13). Dos tensores (5) y (6) permiten modificar la precarga de dos cables (3) y (4) respectivamente, de forma que el mecanismo no entra en funcionamiento hasta que no se ha sobrepasado un cierto valor de par sobre la articulación.

Mecanismo genérico para la definición de transformaciones de modelos en el marco de un enfoque multivistas para la generación de aplicaciones con base en la ingeniería dirigida por modelos

La ingeniera de software se enfoca en el desarrollo de aplicaciones desde diferentes puntos de vista usando diversos enfoques, uno de ellos es el Desarrollo de Software Dirigido por Modelos (MDSD, por sus siglas en inglés); al desarrollar soluciones bajo esta propuesta se han visualizado grandes ventajas como velocidad, bajos costos y calidad en los desarrollos, sin embargo también algunas desventajas como la dificultad de intervenir las transformaciones, falta expresividad en los modelos y la generación hacia múltiples plataformas; este último debido a que no es posible delimitar con claridad las características de la plataforma destino al especificar los modelos y las transformaciones que constituyen el proceso de desarrollo. Durante el progreso del presente trabajo se trata de mitigar las tres dificultades antes mencionadas por medio de la construcción de un Lenguaje de Dominio Específico (DSL, por sus siglas en inglés) con toda la información funcional de la aplicación, usando diagramas de paquetes y de clases en UML y diagramas de procesos de negocio en BPMN. Este trabajo hace parte de la macro propuesta Metáfora donde se desarrolló un plugin de Eclipse que está basado en el framework de modelado de eclipse (EMF, por sus siglas en inglés). El plugin tiene las funciones de asistente guiando al usuario a través del proceso iterativo de transformaciones hasta llegar al código fuente. El software que fue desarrollado para que el proceso de generación se pueda parametrizar de acuerdo a los modelos y transformaciones realizadas por el analista de desarrollo con ayuda del analista de negocio. Se tiene la total libertad para configurar las secuencias de transformación y aplicarlas en un orden determinado a un conjunto de modelos específicos con el fin de generar parte de una aplicación.

Atividade bioinseticida e mecanismo de ação de vicilinas de sementes Erythrina velutina sobre moscas-das frutas Ceratitis capitata

The fruit fly Ceratitis capitata is considered the most destructive pest of the world fruitculture. Many pest management practices, mainly based on agrochemicals, have been developed to allow the world-wide commerce of fruit. Solutions to decrease the use of synthetic insecticides in agriculture are based on the development of new target-specific compounds which cause less damage to the environment, especially vegetal proteins with insecticidal effects. The aim of this work was to evaluate the deleterious effect of a purified vicilin of E. velutina (EvV) seeds to C. capitata larvae and adult insects and to investigate the mechanisms involved in these effects. EvV was purified, characterized and its deleterious effect was tested in bioassay systems. EvV mechanism of action was determined by immunodetection techniques and fluorescence localization in chitin structures that are present in C. capitata digestory system. EvV is a glycoprotein with affinity to chitin. Its molecular weight, of 216,57 kDa, was determined by gel filtration chromatography in FPLC system. Using SDS-PAGE, it was possible to observe EvV dissociation in two main subunits of 54,8 and 50,8 kDa. When it was submitted to eletrophoresis in native conditions, EvV presented only one band of acid characteristic. The WD50 and LD50 values found in the bioassays were 0,13% and 0,14% (w/w), respectively for the larvae. EvV deleterious effects were related to the binding to chitin structures presented in peritrophic membrane and gut epithelial cells, associated with its low digestibility in C. capitata digestive tract. The results described herein are the first demonstration of the larvicidal effects of plant protein on C. capitata larvae. EvV may be part of the pest management programs, in the toxic bait composition, or an alternative in plant improvement program

Vagabundos e criminosos: o trabalho como mecanismo de poder e índice de criminalização no discurso jurídico-penal de reinserção social dos apenados

This study was a critical investigation of the configuration of discourse on work in the Brazilian criminal legal discourse. We problematized the discourse of an alleged reintegrative social function proposed by the criminal legal system and analyzed the role of such discourse in the core of disciplinary power strategies that impose on individuals the honest worker condition as a major criterion for their rehabilitation and return to society as citizens. This critique is our starting point to build the argument that discourse on work as it appears in current criminal legal texts operates more as a criminalization index of those who do not have a lawful occupation than a guarantee of legitimate social transit for convicts and recognition of their dignity. For this purpose, we used as corpus the main sources of Law, namely the Federal Constitution of 1988, the Penal Code, the Penal Execution Law, the Brazilian criminal doctrine and an extensive, more recent penal jurisprudence with regard to techniques of resocialization through work. This critical line enabled us to recognize complexity and plurality of discourses - antagonistic, at times - that build the world of work as portrayed in legal texts. We also sought reference in the discussion on the centrality of work as a formative category of the social being as well as theories that defend the non-centrality of work. Throughout our investigation, we sough to question the very condition of such centrality and to understand the ways in which it was possible to produce a legitimating discourse on work as a model of emancipatory social conduct defended and demanded by the Brazilian punitive system. In a context of precariousness, unemployment and flexibilization of the world of work in contemporary society, convicts hardly ever succeed to resume the identity of honest, hard-working citizens - and no longer offenders. In this context, we also questioned the formulation of a discourse that speaks about human labor as the essence of man and criticizes the Marxist vision that is based on work centrality, and we approached the concept of Michel Foucault, our theoretician of reference, who understands work more as a mechanism of power that promotes the individuals’ submission and adaptation to a goods-producing society than the natural activity of man. We ascribe our study to the field of questions that tackle the political conception of the body as subject to labor imposed as productive and political force. It is about the issue of political technology of individuals, a technology of power, as named by the French author. The intended analysis has not dismissed the material existence of labor relations but sought to discuss the validity of a discourse that considers work the main resource for convict rehabilitation and index for the recognition of dignity and honesty. The Foucauldian discourse analysis was the foundation for the investigation of our object, especially if we understand discourses as social practices with power to institute knowledge and produce truths.

Vicilinas de sementes de leguminosas selvagens:purificação, caracterização, efeito de deletério e mecanismo de ação para bruquídeos e para fungos fitopatogênicos

Globulins fractions of legume seeds of Crotalaria pallida, Erytrina veluntina and Enterolobium contortisiliquum were isolated and submitted to assays against serine, cysteine and aspartic proteinases, as also amylase present in midgut of C. maculatus and Z. subfasciatus. Hemagglutination assays indicated presence of a lectin in E. veluntina globulin fractions. This lectin had affinity to human erythrocytes type A, B and O. Vicilins were purified by chromatography on Sephacryl S-300 followed of a chromatography on Sephacryl S-200, which was calibrated using protein markers. Vicilins from C. pallida (CpV) and E. veluntina (EvV) seeds had a molecular mass of 124.6 kDa and E. contortisiliquum a molecular mass of 151kDa. Eletrophoresis in presence of SDS showed that CpV was constituted by four subunities with apparent molecular mass of 66, 63, 57 and 45 kDa, EvV with three subunities with apparent molecular mass of 45kDa and EcV four subunities, two with 37.1 kDa and two with 25.8 kDa. Non denaturantig eletrophoresis displayed single bands with high homogeneity, where CpV had lower acidic behavior. All vicilins are glycoproteins with carbohydrate contents at 1 to1.5%. Bioassays were done to detect deleterious effects of vicilins against C. maculatus and Z. subfasciatus larvae. CpV, EvV and EcV exhibited a WD50 of 0.28, 0.19 and 1.03%; LD50 0.2, 0.26, and 1.11% respectively to C. maculatus. The dose responses of CpV, EvV and EcV to Z. subfasciatus were: WD50 of 0.12, 0.14, 0.65% and LD50 of 0.09, 0.1, and 0.43% respectively. The mechanism of action of these proteins to bruchids should be based on their properties of bind to chitin present in mid gut of larvae associated with the low digestibility of vicilin. In assays against phytopatogenous fungus, only EcV was capable of inhibit F. solani growth at concentrations of 10 and 20 µg and its action mechanism should be also based in the affinity of EcV to chitin present in the fungi wall

Vicilina de sementes da leguminosa selvagem Anadenanthera macrocarpa: purificação, caracterização, efeito deletério e mecanismo de ação para Callosobruchus maculatus

Grains and legume seeds are foods that form the basis of the diets of many cultures around the world, winch contritbute to the daily nutrient requirements of humans. Vicilins (7S globulin) are storage proteins found in legume seeds, and may have an additional function constitutive defense of the embryo against pests and pathogens. In this work the vicilin from Anadenanthera macrocarpa - AmV (red-angico), was purified and partially characterized, its effect on development and larval survival and adult emergence of Callosobruchus maculatus was evaluated by determination of LD50, WD50 and ED50 in system bioassay. Purification of vicilin was initiated by the chitin affinity chromatography and then gel filtration (Superdex 75 Tricorn 10x300 mm) FPLC system followed by reverse phase chromatography (C8 phenomenex) on HPLC system. Bioassays WD50 and LD50 for larvae were 0.32% and 0.33% (w:w) respectively, since the ED50 for adults was 0.096%. The probable mechanism of action was evaluated by testing digestibility of AmV in vitro, and observed for the involvement of two fragments vicilins immunoreactive against polyclonal Anti-vicilin from Erythrina velutina (Anti-EvV) about of 22 and 13 kDa chitin binding. The AmV in its native form has been recognized by the anti-EvV, indicating that there is a conserved region in the vicilin and is probably corresponding to the chitin binding domains. These results point to a new vicilin chitin binding that can subsequently be used as a possible biopesticide protein source, in order to control insect pest C. maculatus and confirm literature findings that demonstrate vicilin in the presence of different kinds of ligands to conserved regions chitin not yet characterized

Nitretação em plasma com gaiola catódica: investigação do mecanismo e estudo comparativo com a nitretação em plasma de tensão contínua

The ionic plasma nitriding is one of the most important plasma assisted treatment technique for surface modification, but it presents some inherent problems mainly in nitriding pieces with complex geometries. In the last four years has appeared a plasma nitriding technique, named ASPN (Active Screen Plasma Nitriding) in which the samples and the workload are surrounded by a metal screen on which the cathodic potential is applied. This new technique makes possible to obtain a perfect uniform nitrided layer apart from the shape of the samples. The present work is based on the development of a new nitriding plasma technique named CCPN (Cathodic Cage Plasma Nitriding) Patent PI 0603213-3 derived from ASPN, but utilizes the hollow cathode effect to increase the nitriding process efficiency. That technique has shown great improvement on the treatment of several types of steels under different process conditions, producing thicker and harder layers when compared with both, ASPN and ionic plasma nitriding, besides eliminating problems associated with the later technique. The best obtained results are due to the hollow cathode effect on the cage holes. Moreover, characteristic problems of ionic plasma nitriding are eliminated due to the fact that the luminescent discharge acts on the cage wall instead of on the samples surface, which remains under a floating potential. In this work the enhancement of the cathodic cage nitriding layers proprieties, under several conditions for some types of steels was investigated, besides the mechanism for nitrides deposition on glass substrate, concluding that the CCPN is both a diffusion and a deposition process at the same time
