Optical systems design using the SMS method and optimizations

Resumen El dise��o de sistemas ��pticos, entendido como un arte por algunos, como una ciencia por otros, se ha realizado durante siglos. Desde los egipcios hasta nuestros d��as los sistemas de formaci��n de imagen han ido evolucionando as�� como las t��cnicas de dise��o asociadas. Sin embargo ha sido en los ��ltimos 50 a��os cuando las t��cnicas de dise��o han experimentado su mayor desarrollo y evoluci��n, debido, en parte, a la aparici��n de nuevas t��cnicas de fabricaci��n y al desarrollo de ordenadores cada vez m��s potentes que han permitido el c��lculo y an��lisis del trazado de rayos a trav��s de los sistemas ��pticos de forma r��pida y eficiente. Esto ha propiciado que el dise��o de sistemas ��pticos evolucione desde los dise��os desarrollados ��nicamente a partir de la ��ptica paraxial hasta lo modernos dise��os realizados mediante la utilizaci��n de diferentes t��cnicas de optimizaci��n multiparam��trica. El principal problema con el que se encuentra el dise��ador es que las diferentes t��cnicas de optimizaci��n necesitan partir de un dise��o inicial el cual puede fijar las posibles soluciones. Dicho de otra forma, si el punto de inicio est�� lejos del m��nimo global, o dise��o ��ptimo para las condiciones establecidas, el dise��o final puede ser un m��nimo local cerca del punto de inicio y lejos del m��nimo global. Este tipo de problem��tica ha llevado al desarrollo de sistemas globales de optimizaci��n que cada vez sean menos sensibles al punto de inicio de la optimizaci��n. Aunque si bien es cierto que es posible obtener buenos dise��os a partir de este tipo de t��cnicas, se requiere de muchos intentos hasta llegar a la soluci��n deseada, habiendo un entorno de incertidumbre durante todo el proceso, puesto que no est�� asegurado el que se llegue a la soluci��n ��ptima. El m��todo de las Superficies M��ltiples Simultaneas (SMS), que naci�� como una herramienta de c��lculo de concentradores anid��licos, se ha demostrado como una herramienta tambi��n capaz utilizarse para el dise��o de sistemas ��pticos formadores de imagen, aunque hasta la fecha se ha utilizado para el dise��o puntual de sistemas de formaci��n de imagen. Esta tesis tiene por objeto presentar el SMS como un m��todo que puede ser utilizado de forma general para el dise��o de cualquier sistema ��ptico de focal fija o v afocal con un aumento definido as�� como una herramienta que puede industrializarse para ayudar al dise��ador a afrontar de forma sencilla el dise��o de sistemas ��pticos complejos. Esta tesis est�� estructurada en cinco cap��tulos: El cap��tulo 1, es un cap��tulo de fundamentos donde se presentan los conceptos fundamentales necesarios para que el lector, aunque no posea una gran base en ��ptica formadora de imagen, pueda entender los planteamientos y resultados que se presentan en el resto de cap��tulos El capitulo 2 aborda el problema de la optimizaci��n de sistemas ��pticos, donde se presenta el m��todo SMS como una herramienta id��nea para obtener un punto de partida para el proceso de optimizaci��n. Mediante un ejemplo aplicado se demuestra la importancia del punto de partida utilizado en la soluci��n final encontrada. Adem��s en este cap��tulo se presentan diferentes t��cnicas que permiten la interpolaci��n y optimizaci��n de las superficies obtenidas a partir de la aplicaci��n del SMS. Aunque en esta tesis se trabajar�� ��nicamente utilizando el SMS2D, se presenta adem��s un m��todo para la interpolaci��n y optimizaci��n de las nubes de puntos obtenidas a partir del SMS3D basado en funciones de base radial (RBF). En el cap��tulo 3 se presenta el dise��o, fabricaci��n y medidas de un objetivo catadi��ptrico panor��mico dise��ado para trabajar en la banda del infrarrojo lejano (8-12 ��m) para aplicaciones de vigilancia perimetral. El objetivo presentado se dise��a utilizando el m��todo SMS para tres frentes de onda de entrada utilizando cuatro superficies. La potencia del m��todo de dise��o utilizado se hace evidente en la sencillez con la que este complejo sistema se dise��a. Las im��genes presentadas demuestran c��mo el prototipo desarrollado cumple a la perfecci��n su prop��sito. El cap��tulo 4 aborda el problema del dise��o de sistemas ��pticos ultra compactos, se introduce el concepto de sistemas multicanal, como aquellos sistemas ��pticos compuestos por una serie de canales que trabajan en paralelo. Este tipo de sistemas resultan particularmente id��neos para ��l dise��o de sistemas afocales. Se presentan estrategias de dise��o para sistemas multicanal tanto monocrom��ticos como policrom��ticos. Utilizando la novedosa t��cnica de dise��o que en este cap��tulo se presenta el dise��o de un telescopio de seis aumentos y medio. En el cap��tulo 5 se presenta una generalizaci��n del m��todo SMS para rayos meridianos. En este cap��tulo se presenta el algoritmo que debe utilizarse para el dise��o de cualquier sistema ��ptico de focal fija. La denominada optimizaci��n fase 1 se vi introduce en el algoritmo presentado de forma que mediante el cambio de las condiciones in��ciales del dise��o SMS que, aunque el dise��o se realice para rayos meridianos, los rayos skew tengan un comportamiento similar. Para probar la potencia del algoritmo desarrollado se presenta un conjunto de dise��os con diferente n��mero de superficies. La estabilidad y potencia del algoritmo se hace evidente al conseguirse por primera vez el dise��o de un sistema de seis superficies dise��ado por SMS. vii Abstract The design of optical systems, considered an art by some and a science by others, has been developed for centuries. Imaging optical systems have been evolving since Ancient Egyptian times, as have design techniques. Nevertheless, the most important developments in design techniques have taken place over the past 50 years, in part due to the advances in manufacturing techniques and the development of increasingly powerful computers, which have enabled the fast and efficient calculation and analysis of ray tracing through optical systems. This has led to the design of optical systems evolving from designs developed solely from paraxial optics to modern designs created by using different multiparametric optimization techniques. The main problem the designer faces is that the different optimization techniques require an initial design which can set possible solutions as a starting point. In other words, if the starting point is far from the global minimum or optimal design for the set conditions, the final design may be a local minimum close to the starting point and far from the global minimum. This type of problem has led to the development of global optimization systems which are increasingly less sensitive to the starting point of the optimization process. Even though it is possible to obtain good designs from these types of techniques, many attempts are necessary to reach the desired solution. This is because of the uncertain environment due to the fact that there is no guarantee that the optimal solution will be obtained. The Simultaneous Multiple Surfaces (SMS) method, designed as a tool to calculate anidolic concentrators, has also proved useful for the design of image-forming optical systems, although until now it has occasionally been used for the design of imaging systems. This thesis aims to present the SMS method as a technique that can be used in general for the design of any optical system, whether with a fixed focal or an afocal with a defined magnification, and also as a tool that can be commercialized to help designers in the design of complex optical systems. The thesis is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 establishes the basics by presenting the fundamental concepts which the reader needs to acquire, even if he/she doesn���t have extensive knowledge in the field viii of image-forming optics, in order to understand the steps taken and the results obtained in the following chapters. Chapter 2 addresses the problem of optimizing optical systems. Here the SMS method is presented as an ideal tool to obtain a starting point for the optimization process. The importance of the starting point for the final solution is demonstrated through an example. Additionally, this chapter introduces various techniques for the interpolation and optimization of the surfaces obtained through the application of the SMS method. Even though in this thesis only the SMS2D method is used, we present a method for the interpolation and optimization of clouds of points obtained though the SMS3D method, based on radial basis functions (RBF). Chapter 3 presents the design, manufacturing and measurement processes of a catadioptric panoramic lens designed to work in the Long Wavelength Infrared (LWIR) (8-12 microns) for perimeter surveillance applications. The lens presented is designed by using the SMS method for three input wavefronts using four surfaces. The powerfulness of the design method used is revealed through the ease with which this complex system is designed. The images presented show how the prototype perfectly fulfills its purpose. Chapter 4 addresses the problem of designing ultra-compact optical systems. The concept of multi-channel systems, such as optical systems composed of a series of channels that work in parallel, is introduced. Such systems are especially suitable for the design of afocal systems. We present design strategies for multichannel systems, both monochromatic and polychromatic. A telescope designed with a magnification of six-and-a-half through the innovative technique exposed in this chapter is presented. Chapter 5 presents a generalization of the SMS method for meridian rays. The algorithm to be used for the design of any fixed focal optics is revealed. The optimization known as phase 1 optimization is inserted into the algorithm so that, by changing the initial conditions of the SMS design, the skew rays have a similar behavior, despite the design being carried out for meridian rays. To test the power of the developed algorithm, a set of designs with a different number of surfaces is presented. The stability and strength of the algorithm become apparent when the first design of a system with six surfaces if obtained through the SMS method.

Adicionalmente al estudio, y como ejemplo de aplicaci��n, en el proyecto se realiza un caso pr��ctico de selecci��n de herramienta y aplicaci��n de la herramienta seleccionada a un proyecto de desarrollo concreto. El caso pr��ctico consiste en la creaci��n de un entorno que permite generar aplicaciones para la visualizaci��n de apuntes. Las aplicaciones permitir��n ver contenidos de tipo multimedia como ficheros de texto, sonidos, im��genes, v��deos y enlaces a contenidos externos. Adem��s estas aplicaciones se generar��n sin que el autor de las mismas tenga que modificar alguna de las l��neas del c��digo. Para ello, se han definido una serie de ficheros de configuraci��n en los que el autor de la aplicaci��n deber�� indicar los contenidos a mostrar y su ubicaci��n. Se han seleccionado recursos de tipo ���c��digo abierto��� para el desarrollo del caso pr��ctico, con el fin de evitar los costes asociados a las posibles licencias. El equipo de desarrollo del caso pr��ctico estar�� formado ��nicamente por el autor de este proyecto de fin de grado, lo que hace del caso de estudio un desarrollo sencillo, de manera que su futuro mantenimiento y escalabilidad no deber��an verse afectados por la necesidad de contar con equipos de desarrolladores con conocimientos espec��ficos o complejos. ABSTRACT. This document contains a study of tools that ease the creation and the distribution of the applications through different mobile platforms. The objective o this document is to allow the selection of the most appropriate tool, depending on the development objectives. Previous to this study about the tools for developing on multiple platforms, a study of IOS and Android tools and their methodologies is included on this document. This previous analysis will allow the reader to know in more detail the peculiarities of each of these environments, together with theirs requirements and the best practices of the applications development for mobile devices. By the end of this document the reader would be able to choose the adequate development tool for a project depending of its objective, its available resources and the developers team���s capabilities. Beside this study and as example of case study this final project includes a practical case of tool selection and its application to a specific development. The case study consists in the creation of an environment that allows generating applications to visualise notes. These applications will allow seeing contents of multimedia type such as: text files, sounds, images, videos, and links to external content. Furthermore these applications will be generated without their author having to modify any line of code, because a group of configuration files will be defined for such purpose. The author of the application only has to update this configuration with the content to show by the application and its location. The selected resources for the case study were of the type ���open source��� in order to avoid the cost associated to the potential licenses. The developers��� team for this case study has only one member, the author of this final project document and practical case developer. As a result the case study is a very simple development in a way that the future potential maintenance and scalability should not depend on the necessity of a highly qualified developers��� teams with a very specific knowledge on mobile platforms development.

El proyecto realizado, trata de una aplicaci��n desarrollada en la plataforma Android, orientada a personas con alg��n tipo de discapacidad sensorial o ps��quica. Dicha aplicaci��n fomenta el uso y la integraci��n de dispositivos m��viles en este tipo de sector de poblaci��n. Est�� pensada, para que, un usuario con discapacidad, pueda interactuar con ella y de forma transparente a ��l, se ha creado un sistema mediante el cual, se registra todo el comportamiento que ese usuario ha tenido durante el tiempo de uso de la aplicaci��n, con el fin de llevar un seguimiento del mismo; evaluar si existen cambios en ��l; determinar si son necesarios algunos cambios en la aplicaci��n que favorezcan una mejor��a en cuanto al uso y consecuci��n de resultados en el paciente, etc. Se ha combinado el uso de una aplicaci��n instalada sobre un sistema operativo de libre distribuci��n, concretamente Android, con un juguete de c��digo abierto, como es Sphero. Eso ha permito el desarrollo de una aplicaci��n perfectamente ajustada a los requisitos funcionales definidos, con una robustez y eficiencia similar a una aplicaci��n de sistemas operativos m��viles cerrados. Es importarte remarcar, que la primera finalidad de este proyecto es ofrecer la posibilidad de usar un juguete, como Sphero, que est�� orientado a un sector de poblaci��n sin discapacidad, haciendo uso de cualquier dispositivo m��vil, a personas con diferentes grados de discapacidad sensorial, motora y ps��quica. Siempre clarificando, que no existe la posibilidad de usar esta aplicaci��n para cualquier tipo y grado de discapacidad, ya que, ello supondr��a, un proyecto de una envergadura enorme. El hecho de usar un dispositivo m��vil, es un derecho, que todos tenemos. Y por ello, se espera que tras la lectura y comprensi��n de este proyecto, se motive a los lectores a seguir desarrollando aplicaciones para que cualquier usuario, con discapacidad o no, tenga las mismas oportunidades de interactuaci��n con dispositivos m��viles. The carried out project, is an application developed on the Android platform , aimed at people with some kind of sensory or mental disability . This application encourages the use and integration of mobile devices in this type of population sector. It is designed to be interacted by a disable person and transparently to that user, it has been created a system by which all behavior, that user has had during the time of use of the application, is recorded, that���s to keep track of it ; assess whether there are changes in it, determine if changes are needed in the application that favor an improvement in the use and achieving patient outcomes , etc. . It has combined the use of an application installed on an open source operating system, namely Android, an open source toy , as is Sphero . That has made it possible to develop an application perfectly adjusted to the functional requirements defined with a robustness and efficiency similar to a mobile OS application closed. It is important to note, that the first aim of this project is to offer the possibility of using a toy, like Sphero , which is geared to a sector of the population without disabilities , using any mobile device , for people with different degrees of sensory impairment , motor and mental . Always clarifying that there is no possibility to use this application for any type and degree of disability, because the magnitude of the project would have been infinitely greater. The fact of using a mobile device, is a right we all have. And so, it is expected that upon reading and understanding of this project, motivate readers to continue developing applications for any user , disabled or not, have the same opportunities for interaction with mobile devices .

Android en el Hogar Digital usando UPnP y Redes LonWorks

Este Proyecto Final de Carrera se centra principalmente en el estudio de las tecnolog��as aplicadas al Hogar Digital (HD) y as�� poder desarrollar nuevas herramientas aplicadas a este Sector. La primera tecnolog��a estudiada es LonWorks que se escogi�� porque en la EUITT se cuenta con un entorno dom��tico donde se aplica esta tecnolog��a, materializado como una maqueta de una instalaci��n LonWorks en un HD. Sobre este entorno se ha desarrollado una nueva forma de gestionar y controlar los elementos de una Red LonWorks mediante la tecnolog��a Universal Plug & Play (UPnP). Los dispositivos LonWorks han sido recubiertos con una capa con la que se consigue tratar los elementos LonWorks como dispositivos UPnP, pudiendo de esta manera trabajar bajo un mismo formato de dispositivo. Este formato est�� definido por un documento denominado Descripci��n del Dispositivo UPnP. Por tanto, no es necesario conocer el estado de los dispositivos de la Red LonWorks, sino ��nicamente trabajar bajo una Red UPnP, creando nuevos dispositivos UPnP, puntos de Control y servicios a partir de los elementos LonWorks. Una vez realizado el recubrimiento del sistema LonWorks con UPnP, se ha definido y desarrollado una aplicaci��n para Android que, permite controlar los elementos de la maqueta del HD desde un Smartphone o una Tablet. El acceso a la Red LonWorks de la maqueta del HD se hace a trav��s de la interfaz Web Services SOAP/XML del dispositivo iLON100. ABSTRACT. This Final Degree Project is mainly focused on the study of the technologies applied to Digital Home and thus be able to develop new tools applied to this area. The first study is LonWorks technology which was chosen because the EUITT has a domotic environment where this technology is applied, materialized as a demonstrator of a LonWorks installation in HD. With this environment has developed a new way to manage and control the elements of a LonWorks network through technology by Universal Plug & Play (UPnP). LonWorks devices are covered with a layer and it is achieved LonWorks elements treat as UPnP devices. In this way the LonWorks elements can work under one device format. This format is defined by a document called UPnP Device Description. Therefore, it isn't necessary to know the state of the LonWorks network devices, but only work under an UPnP network, creating new UPnP devices, control points and services from LonWorks elements. After backfill of LonWorks system with UPnP, have being defined and developed an Android application that allow controlling the elements of the mockup of HD from Smartphone or a Tablet. The LonWorks network Access of the mockup of HD is done through the Web Interface Services SOAP / XML iLON100 device.

SMS freeforms for illumination

SMS 3D (simultaneous multiple surfaces in their three-dimensional version) is a well-known design method comprising two freeform surfaces that allow the perfect coupling of two wavefronts with another two. The design algorithm provides a collection of line pairs on both surfaces (called SMS spines), whose three-dimensional shape seems arbitrary at first sight. This paper shows that the shapes of the spines are partially governed by applying the ��tendue conservation theorem to the biparametric bundle of rays linking the paired spines, which is one lesser known ��tendue invariants found by Poincar��. The resulting formulae for the spines in three-dimensional space happen to coincide with the conventional ��tendue formulas of two-dimensional geometry, like for instance, the Hottel formula.

The improvements that have occurred in recent years in terms of power and capabilities of mobile phones that we use on a daily basis, bring an increment in demand for all kind of applications, from general consumer applications, games or even internal applications that offer solutions to companies. There are different operating systems for mobile phones as will be explained later in the introductory chapter. In that chapter the answer for why this Thesis focuses on the study of the Android operating system is given as well. First an overview of the state of the art about the world of mobile applications will be referred. The pros and cons of each operating system will be explained, detailing the programming language used in each of them and their main characteristics. Then in chapter three will be discussed in more depth the Android operating system, from its history and beginnings to the main components for the creation of an application, to the internal architecture of the system or virtual machine. The goal of chapter three is to give the readers a context that allows them to understand the following chapters, where the core of this Thesis is. The fourth chapter contains a series of incremental practices covering a large part of the potential of the Android operating system for application development. Those practices grow in difficulty and are supported by the previous in order to have at the end a single solution that fits all lessons. The last chapter wants to embrace the use of all the lessons learned in previous lessons to create an application that could well be an actual application for a client. It is an application that displays real-time information off traffic cameras of the city of Madrid.

WSM : metodolog��a de web scraping para Android y ejemplificaci��n mediante la aplicaci��n UPMDroid

En la realizaci��n de este proyecto se ha tratado principalmente la tem��tica del web scraping sobre documentos HTML en Android. Como resultado del mismo, se ha propuesto una metodolog��a para poder realizar web scraping en aplicaciones implementadas para este sistema operativo y se desarrollar�� una aplicaci��n basada en esta metodolog��a que resulte ��til a los alumnos de la escuela. Web scraping se puede definir como una t��cnica basada en una serie de algoritmos de b��squeda de contenido con el fin de obtener una determinada informaci��n de p��ginas web, descartando aquella que no sea relevante. Como parte central, se ha dedicado bastante tiempo al estudio de los navegadores y servidores Web, y del lenguaje HTML presente en casi todas las p��ginas web en la actualidad as�� como de los mecanismos utilizados para la comunicaci��n entre cliente y servidor ya que son los pilares en los que se basa esta t��cnica. Se ha realizado un estudio de las t��cnicas y herramientas necesarias, aport��ndose todos los conceptos te��ricos necesarios, as�� como la proposici��n de una posible metodolog��a para su implementaci��n. Finalmente se ha codificado la aplicaci��n UPMdroid, desarrollada con el fin de ejemplificar la implementaci��n de la metodolog��a propuesta anteriormente y a la vez desarrollar una aplicaci��n cuya finalidad es brindar al estudiante de la ETSIST un soporte m��vil en Android que le facilite el acceso y la visualizaci��n de aquellos datos m��s importantes del curso acad��mico como son: el horario de clases y las calificaciones de las asignaturas en las que se matricule. Esta aplicaci��n, adem��s de implementar la metodolog��a propuesta, es una herramienta muy interesante para el alumno, ya que le permite utilizar de una forma sencilla e intuitiva gran n��mero de funcionalidades de la escuela solucionando as�� los problemas de visualizaci��n de contenido web en los dispositivos. ABSTRACT. The main topic of this project is about the web scraping over HTML documents on Android OS. As a result thereof, it is proposed a methodology to perform web scraping in deployed applications for this operating system and based on this methodology that is useful to the ETSIST school students. Web scraping can be defined as a technique based on a number of content search algorithms in order to obtain certain information from web pages, discarding those that are not relevant. As a main part, has spent considerable time studying browsers and Web servers, and the HTML language that is present today in almost all websites as well as the mechanisms used for communication between client and server because they are the pillars which this technique is based. We performed a study of the techniques and tools needed, providing all the necessary theoretical concepts, as well as the proposal of a possible methodology for implementation. Finally it has codified UPMdroid application, developed in order to illustrate the implementation of the previously proposed methodology and also to give the student a mobile ETSIST Android support to facilitate access and display those most important data of the current academic year such as: class schedules and scores for the subjects in which you are enrolled. This application, in addition to implement the proposed methodology is also a very interesting tool for the student, as it allows a simple and intuitive way of use these school functionalities thus fixing the viewing web content on devices.

Interacci��n desde dispositivos Android v��a Bluetooth, con juguete teledirigido, para su uso por personas con discapacidad

El Proyecto Fin de Carrera, con t��tulo, "Interacci��n desde dispositivos Android v��a Bluetooth, con juguete teledirigido, para su uso por personas con discapacidad" pretende completar la primera versi��n de la aplicaci��n sobre dispositivo Android para manejar un juguete teledirigido a��adiendo nuevas formas de interactuar con el dispositivo Android. Para este caso, el juguete teledirigido es el mismo: el robot esf��rico llamado Sphero. Dicho robot posee una interfaz a trav��s de la cual puede recibir instrucciones, y mediante las cuales, se puede poner en movimiento o iluminarse con diferentes colores. Esta ampliaci��n facilitar�� la interacci��n del usuario con el dispositivo Android, adem��s de ampliar la funcionalidad hacia la inversa: recibir los movimientos del robot Sphero en el dispositivo Android cuando es manejado con la mano. Completando la primera versi��n, como cumplimiento de este Proyecto Fin de Carrera, se han realizado una serie de mandos nuevos, los cuales abarcan desde el manejo del robot por instrucciones de voz, movimientos del dispositivo Android desde el que se ejecuta, describir una trayectoria dibujada previamente en el dispositivo Android, o, realizar una serie de movimientos corregidos mediante la aplicaci��n gracias a los l��mites de movimientos para un usuario concreto que pueden introducirse. Adem��s, completando lo anteriormente escrito, se ha desarrollado una aplicaci��n web que registrar�� todos los datos de uso del juguete, la cual, explota una base de datos que almacena toda interacci��n con el juguete. Estos datos estar��n asociados a un usuario, debido a que la aplicaci��n Android debe perfilarse para el uso de un usuario concreto. El perfilado de usuario se ha completado a��adiendo una serie de informaci��n que puede ser ��til para la persona que analice el comportamiento de una persona con discapacidad que utilice la aplicaci��n. Por ��ltimo, se ha realizado un estudio de elementos externos que puedan facilitar la interacci��n con los dispositivos Android a personas que sufran alguna discapacidad. ABSTRACT. The Thesis, titled "Interaction from Android devices via Bluetooth, with remote control toy, for use by people with disabilities" project aims to complete the first version of the application on Android device to manage a remote control toy adding new ways of interacting to Android device. For this case, the remote control toy is the same: the spherical robot called Sphero. This robot has an interface through which it can receive instructions, and by means of which can be set in motion or illuminated with different colors. This expansion will facilitate user interaction with the Android device, and extend the functionality to reverse: receiving Sphero robot movements in the Android device when handled by hand. Completing the first version, in fulfillment of this Thesis, there have been a number of new controls, which range from control of robot by voice instructions, movements Android device from which it runs, describe a path drawn previously on your Android device, or perform a series of movements corrected by applying through limits of movement for a particular user can be made. Besides completing the above written, has developed a web application that will record all data on use of the toy, which exploits a database that stores all interaction with the toy. These data will be associated with a user, because the Android application should be outlined for the use of a particular user. The user profile is completed by adding a range of information that can be useful for the person to analyze the behavior of a disabled person to use the application. Finally, a study was made of external elements that can facilitate interaction with Android devices to people who suffer from a disability.

Hammer: an Android based application for end-user industrial robot programming

This paper presents a novel tablet based end-user interface for industrial robot programming (called Hammer). This application makes easier to program tasks for industrial robots like polishing, milling or grinding. It is based on the Scratch programming language, but specifically design and created for Android OS. It is a visual programming concept that allows non-skilled programmer operators to create programs. The application also allows to monitor the tasks while it is being executed by overlapping real time information through augmented reality. The application includes a teach pendant screen that can be customized according to the operator needs at every moment.

Conditions for perfect focusing multiple point sources with the SMS design method

In this work, we demonstrate how it is possible to sharply image multiple object points. The Simultaneous Multiple Surface (SMS) design method has usually been presented as a method to couple N wave-front pairs with N surfaces, but recent findings show that when using N surfaces, we can obtain M image points when N<M under certain conditions. We present the evolution of SMS method, from its basics, to imaging two object points through one surface, the transition from two to three objet points obtained by increasing the parallelism, and getting to the designs of six surfaces imaging up to eight object points. These designs are limited with the condition that the surfaces cannot be placed at the aperture stop. In the process of maximizing the object points to sharp image, we try to exhaust the degrees of freedom of aspherics and free-forms. We conjecture that maximal SMS designs are very close to a good solution, hence using them as a starting point for the optimization will lead us faster to a final optical system. We suggest here different optimization strategies which combined with the SMS method are proven to give the best solution. Through the example of imaging with the high aspect ratio, we compare the results obtained optimizing the rotational lens and using a combination of SMS method and optimization, showing that the second approach is giving significantly smaller value of overall RMS spot diameter.

HDTourist: exploring urban data on Android

The Web of Data currently comprises ? 62 billion triples from more than 2,000 different datasets covering many fields of knowledge3. This volume of structured Linked Data can be seen as a particular case of Big Data, referred to as Big Semantic Data [4]. Obviously, powerful computational configurations are tradi- tionally required to deal with the scalability problems arising to Big Semantic Data. It is not surprising that this ?data revolution? has competed in parallel with the growth of mobile computing. Smartphones and tablets are massively used at the expense of traditional computers but, to date, mobile devices have more limited computation resources. Therefore, one question that we may ask ourselves would be: can (potentially large) semantic datasets be consumed natively on mobile devices? Currently, only a few mobile apps (e.g., [1, 9, 2, 8]) make use of semantic data that they store in the mobile devices, while many others access existing SPARQL endpoints or Linked Data directly. Two main reasons can be considered for this fact. On the one hand, in spite of some initial approaches [6, 3], there are no well-established triplestores for mobile devices. This is an important limitation because any po- tential app must assume both RDF storage and SPARQL resolution. On the other hand, the particular features of these devices (little storage space, less computational power or more limited bandwidths) limit the adoption of seman- tic data for different uses and purposes. This paper introduces our HDTourist mobile application prototype. It con- sumes urban data from DBpedia4 to help tourists visiting a foreign city. Although it is a simple app, its functionality allows illustrating how semantic data can be stored and queried with limited resources. Our prototype is implemented for An- droid, but its foundations, explained in Section 2, can be deployed in any other platform. The app is described in Section 3, and Section 4 concludes about our current achievements and devises the future work.
