O telemóvel tem-se transformado numa ferramenta essencial no nosso dia-a-dia, constantemente são lançadas novas tecnologias que potenciam o uso do telemóvel nas tarefas do nosso quotidiano. Atualmente a grande tendência passa por fazer o download de aplicações com o objetivo de obter mais e diferentes tipos de informação, existe o desejo de ler de forma simples e intuitiva o mundo que nos rodeia, como se cada elemento fosse um objeto sobre o qual conseguiremos obter informação através do telemóvel. A tecnologia Near Field Communication (NFC) ajuda a transformar este desejo ou necessidade numa realidade de simples alcance. Podemos anexar “identificadores” nos objetos e “ver” estes identificadores através do telemóvel recorrendo a aplicações que fazem a ponte com os sistemas que nos permitem obter mais informação, por exemplo, internet. O NFC especifica um padrão de comunicação de redes sem fios, que permite a transferência de dados entre dois dispositivos separados por uma distância máxima de 10cm. NFC foi desenhado para ser integrado em telemóveis, que podem comunicar com outros telemóveis equipados com NFC ou ler informação de cartões ou tags. A dissertação avalia as oportunidades que a tecnologia NFC oferece ao mundo das telecomunicações móveis, nomeadamente na realidade do operador Vodafone Portugal, principalmente numa relação Empresa - Cliente. Esta tecnologia reúne o interesse dos fabricantes dos telemóveis, dos operadores e de parceiros críticos que vão ajudar a potenciar o negócio, nomeadamente entidades bancárias e interbancárias. A tecnologia NFC permite utilizar o telemóvel como um cartão de crédito/debito, ticketing, ler informação de posters (Smart Poster) que despoletem navegação contextualizada para outras aplicações ou para a internet para obter mais informação ou concretizar compras, estes são alguns cenários identificados que mais valor o NFC consegue oferecer. A dissertação foca-se na avaliação técnica do NFC na área de Smart Posters e resulta na identificação num conjunto de novos cenários de utilização, que são especificados e complementados com o desenvolvimento de um protótipo.

When a mixture is confined, one of the phases can condense out. This condensate, which is otherwise metastable in the bulk, is stabilized by the presence of surfaces. In a sphere-plane geometry, routinely used in atomic force microscope and surface force apparatus, it, can form a bridge connecting the surfaces. The pressure drop in the bridge gives rise to additional long-range attractive forces between them. By minimizing the free energy of a binary mixture we obtain the force-distance curves as well as the structural phase diagram of the configuration with the bridge. Numerical results predict a discontinuous transition between the states with and without the bridge and linear force-distance curves with hysteresis. We also show that similar phenomenon can be observed in a number of different systems, e.g., liquid crystals and polymer mixtures. (C). 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The Schwinger proper-time method is an effective calculation method, explicitly gauge-invariant and nonperturbative. We make use of this method to investigate the radiatively induced Lorentz- and CPT-violating effects in quantum electrodynamics when an axial-vector interaction term is introduced in the fermionic sector. The induced Lorentz- and CPT-violating Chern-Simons term coincides with the one obtained using a covariant derivative expansion but differs from the result usually obtained in other regularization schemes. A possible ambiguity in the approach is also discussed. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Within the European project R-Fieldbus (http://www.hurray.isep.ipp.pt/activities/rfieldbus/), an industrial manufacturing field trial was developed. This field trial was conceived as a demonstration test bed for the technologies developed during the project. Because the R-Fieldbus field trial included prototype hardware devices, the purpose of this equipment changed and since the conclusion of the project, several new technologies also emerged, therefore an update of the field trial was required. This document describes an update of the manufacturing field trial. The purpose of this update, the changes and improvements introduced are described in the document. Additionally, this document also provides a reliable source of documentation for the equipment, configuration and software components of the manufacturing field trial.

Environmental microbiology is an evolving science. This is in part driven by the development of new analytical techniques that are becoming more varied and powerful. Before they are applied, emerging techniques need to be critically evaluated by scientists, technical professionals, practitioners and students.

Dynamical systems theory in this work is used as a theoretical language and tool to design a distributed control architecture for a team of three robots that must transport a large object and simultaneously avoid collisions with either static or dynamic obstacles. The robots have no prior knowledge of the environment. The dynamics of behavior is defined over a state space of behavior variables, heading direction and path velocity. Task constraints are modeled as attractors (i.e. asymptotic stable states) of the behavioral dynamics. For each robot, these attractors are combined into a vector field that governs the behavior. By design the parameters are tuned so that the behavioral variables are always very close to the corresponding attractors. Thus the behavior of each robot is controlled by a time series of asymptotical stable states. Computer simulations support the validity of the dynamical model architecture.

In this paper dynamical systems theory is used as a theoretical language and tool to design a distributed control architecture for a team of two robots that must transport a large object and simultaneously avoid collisions with obstacles (either static or dynamic). This work extends the previous work with two robots (see [1] and [5]). However here we demonstrate that it’s possible to simplify the architecture presented in [1] and [5] and reach an equally stable global behavior. The robots have no prior knowledge of the environment. The dynamics of behavior is defined over a state space of behavior variables, heading direction and path velocity. Task constrains are modeled as attractors (i.e. asymptotic stable states) of a behavioral dynamics. For each robot, these attractors are combined into a vector field that governs the behavior. By design the parameters are tuned so that the behavioral variables are always very close to the corresponding attractors. Thus the behavior of each robot is controlled by a time series of asymptotic stable states. Computer simulations support the validity of the dynamical model architecture.

Dynamical systems theory is used here as a theoretical language and tool to design a distributed control architecture for a team of two mobile robots that must transport a long object and simultaneously avoid obstacles. In this approach the level of modeling is at the level of behaviors. A “dynamics” of behavior is defined over a state space of behavioral variables (heading direction and path velocity). The environment is also modeled in these terms by representing task constraints as attractors (i.e. asymptotically stable states) or reppelers (i.e. unstable states) of behavioral dynamics. For each robot attractors and repellers are combined into a vector field that governs the behavior. The resulting dynamical systems that generate the behavior of the robots may be nonlinear. By design the systems are tuned so that the behavioral variables are always very close to one attractor. Thus the behavior of each robot is controled by a time series of asymptotically stable states. Computer simulations support the validity of our dynamic model architectures.

This paper presents a layered Smart Grid architecture enhancing security and reliability, having the ability to act in order to maintain and correct infrastructure components without affecting the client service. The architecture presented is based in the core of well design software engineering, standing upon standards developed over the years. The layered Smart Grid offers a base tool to ease new standards and energy policies implementation. The ZigBee technology implementation test methodology for the Smart Grid is presented, and provides field tests using ZigBee technology to control the new Smart Grid architecture approach.
