The purpose of this study is to define measures to increase customer satisfaction and company competitiveness using a remote monitoring technology, in an exploratory study of Alpha Elevator Company (nick name chosen to the company by the actor of the dissertation). Regarding the competitive market, the service industry is striving to achieve productivity, following the example of the manufacturing industry. Nevertheless, these efforts are limited by the amount of hours worked per week, month or year, since the sector charges its services based on the hours spent working on the equipment of the client or based on the numbers of visits. This study is based in the overcoming of the traditional paradigm of selling number of hours by a system of selling results and performance. Employing a remote monitoring system, the elevators under the company service are monitored continually and defects are detected and transmitted to the customer care center, via phone line. The customers can access this data through the Internet and obtain information like availability rate of their elevators and call back response time rate, besides being able to buy products on the company¿s home page and to send feedback. The results were obtained by participating in conferences among experts of the company, in Japan and the United States. Through the analysis of the business environment and based on the bibliographic reference, a strategy was developed to implement e-service as a competitive differentiation.

The increase in energy consumption in the world has caused the electrical systems becoming ever larger and more complex. Because of that becomes necessary to use special tools to efficiently manage the equipment present in these systems. Nowadays a tool very used is the remote monitoring of assets which works collecting signals using sensors processing these signals and make them available to the system user. So the user can use informations that may assist him efficiently in making decisions when doing a maintenance. The system is technically efficient since it improves the measurement process and enables the asset management of a substation by using advanced technology for that and economically viable especially in cases where the user is subject to monetary loss due an interruption of power supply

This study was conducted to investigate how visually impaired people perform distance estimation tasks by movement and navigation during deprivation of effective perceptual and proprioceptive information. For that they performed the task of walking three distances, being the first and second of 100 meters and the third of 140 meters (triangulation) from a point of origin in open field on a inverted L shaped trajectory and then returning to the origin. The first and second tasks were driven by means of a guide with GPS adapted to the study coordinates, and the third one was freeform with three sessions, the first without perceptual and proprioceptive restrictions, the second without auditory perception, and the third in a wheelchair, without proprioception. The objective of this study was to indicate the differences in distance reproduction in relation to accuracy and investigate the spatial representation of participants in a navigation task, in which there is active movement, but no effective perceptual and proprioceptive information. Results showed that the average participants underestimated distances producing average angles close to the value of 45°. And by means of the "t" students test no significant differences between subjects can be pointed out. To achieve these results we used remote monitoring by GPS and software TrackMaker.

The number of overweight people has increased in the last few years. Factors such as attention to diet and changes in lifestyle are crucial in the prevention and control of obesity and diseases related to it. Experts believe that such actions are most effective when initiated during childhood, and that children raised in an environment that encourages physical activity ultimately become healthier adults. However, to arouse and maintain interest in such activities represent a major challenge, which are initially perceived as repetitive and boring, and, thus, soon abandoned. Computer games, traditionally seen as stimulants to a sedentary lifestyle are changing this perception using non-conventional controls that require constant movement of the player. Applications that combine the playfulness of such games to physical activity through devices, like Microsoft Kinect, might become interesting tools in this scenario, by using the familiarity of Natural User Interfaces along with the challenge and the fun of video games, in order to make attractive exercise routines for schoolchildren. The project carried out consists of an exergame composed of several activities designed and implemented with the participation of a Physical Educator, aimed at children between eight and ten years old, whose performance and progress can be remotely monitored by a professional via web interface. The application arising from this work was accompanied by tests with a group of graduating Physical Education students from the University of Rio Verde GO, and subsequently validated through questionnaires whose results are shown on this work.

The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness that leads the patient to death, usually due to respiratory complications. Thus, as the disease progresses the patient will require noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and constant monitoring. This paper presents a distributed architecture for homecare monitoring of nocturnal NIV in patients with ALS. The implementation of this architecture used single board computers and mobile devices placed in patient’s homes, to display alert messages for caregivers and a web server for remote monitoring by the healthcare staff. The architecture used a software based on fuzzy logic and computer vision to capture data from a mechanical ventilator screen and generate alert messages with instructions for caregivers. The monitoring was performed on 29 patients for 7 con-tinuous hours daily during 5 days generating a total of 126000 samples for each variable monitored at a sampling rate of one sample per second. The system was evaluated regarding the rate of hits for character recognition and its correction through an algorithm for the detection and correction of errors. Furthermore, a healthcare team evaluated regarding the time intervals at which the alert messages were generated and the correctness of such messages. Thus, the system showed an average hit rate of 98.72%, and in the worst case 98.39%. As for the message to be generated, the system also agreed 100% to the overall assessment, and there was disagreement in only 2 cases with one of the physician evaluators.

The great diversity in the architecture of biomedical devices, coupled with their different communication protocols, has hindered the implementation of systems that need to make access to these devices. Given these differences, the need arises to provide access to such a transparent manner. In this sense, this paper proposes an embedded architecture, service-oriented, for access to biomedical devices, as a way to abstract the mechanism for writing and reading data on these devices, thereby contributing to the increase in quality and productivity of biomedical systems so as to enable that, the focus of the development team of biomedical software, is almost exclusively directed to its functional requirements

This study aimed to investigate how people with hearing disability perform tasks of distances estimation for locomotion and navigation when deprived of effective perceptual and proprioceptive information. For this, participants with hearing disability went three distances being the first and second 100 meters and the third 140 meters (triangulation) from a source point in an inverted L open field trajectory and then returned to the origin, and the first two were driven by a researcher guide with adapted GPS coordinates of the study, and the third being three free-form sessions, the first one without any perceptual and proprioceptive restriction, the second without visual perception, and the third on the wheel-chair, that is, without proprioception. The results showed that people with hearing disability without the knowledge of the path do not possess satisfactory accuracy but when they learn the way even with the restriction of visual perception and proprioception they can return to the starting point in a task of triangulation. The "t" students test with a significance level of 5% (2.131) indicates significant differences between the first task without any perceptual restriction and the third where they performed in the wheelchair. To achieve these results we used remote monitoring via GPS and the TrackMaker software.

A agricultura é a atividade econômica mais dependente das condições climáticas. Os eventos climáticos afetam não só os processos metabólicos das plantas, diretamente relacionados à produção vegetal, como também as mais diversas atividades no campo. De acordo com Petr (1990) e Fageria (1992), citados por Hoogenboom (2000), ao redor de 80% da variabilidade da produção agrícola no mundo se deve à variabilidade das condições climáticas durante o ciclo de cultivo, especialmente para as culturas de sequeiro, já que os agricultores não podem exercer nenhum controle sobre esses fenômenos naturais. Além de influenciar o crescimento, o desenvolvimento e a produtividade das culturas, o clima afeta também a relação das plantas com microorganismos, insetos, fungos e bactérias, favore-cendo ou não a ocorrência de pragas e doenças, o que demanda as medidas de controle ade-quadas. Muitas das práticas agrícolas de campo, como o preparo do solo, a semeadura, a adu-bação, a irrigação, as pulverizações, a colheita, entre outras, também dependem de condições de tempo e de umidade no solo específicas para que possam ser realizadas de forma eficiente (PEREIRA et al., 2002). Dada a grande importância do clima para a produção agrícola, o uso de informações meteoro-lógicas e climáticas é fundamental para que a agricultura se torne atividade sustentável (SIVAKUMAR et al., 2000). Neste contexto, a agrometeorologia, ciência interdisciplinar que estuda a influência do tempo e do clima na produção de alimentos, fibras e energia, assume papel estratégico no entendimento e na solução dos problemas enfrentados pela agricultura (MAVI E TUPPER, 2004). Os governos apoiam usualmente a gestão de risco dos agricultores concentrando-se nos riscos imprevisíveis e inevitáveis, possivelmente raros, mas que têm graves consequências (perdas catastróficas) se os agricultores não conseguirem gerir estes riscos sozinhos já que existe nú-mero limitado de opções políticas a serem consideradas, quer a nível interno ou internacional, quando o assunto é referente à alimentação dos concidadãos. A preocupação crescente com o aumento da população mundial, com a degradação dos recur-sos naturais e com a sustentabilidade da agricultura tem exigido maiores esforços no desen-volvimento de melhores estratégias e práticas do uso do solo, a partir do melhor entendimento das relações entre a agricultura e o clima. Nesse sentido, o desenvolvimento de ferramentas que auxiliem o planejamento e o processo de tomadas de decisão que resultem em menores impactos ambientais e no aumento da resiliência da agricultura, tem sido um dos objetivos das instituições governamentais e não gover-namentais ligadas à agricultura, ao ambiente e aos recursos naturais. Sem embargo, as sofisticadas técnicas utilizadas para estimar preços no mercado futuro, as perspectivas relativamente instáveis das commodities agrícolas resultam do pressuposto de que em condições normais, as incertezas associadas ao clima, fatores macroeconômicos, in-tervenções de políticas e o custo da energia, entre outros fatores relevantes, sugerem que os preços dos produtos de base agrossilvipastoris permanecerão imprevisíveis. Mesmo que estratégias de hedging continuem sendo preponderantes no que tange à mitigação do risco financeiro causado pela volatilidade de preços, para a grande maioria das empresas, seguradoras, governos e produtores que dependem dos resultados da lavoura para colher os benefícios financeiros da produção agrícola, como no caso das empresas agrossilvipastoris, a mitigação dos riscos de mercado concomitantemente ao gerenciamento do risco agrometeoro-lógico faz todo sentido. A utilização de uma ferramenta de suporte a decisão baseado em sistemas de informação geo-gráfica é a melhor maneira de aproveitar todo o conhecimento que está disponível para o acompanhamento da produção de alimentos e de energia. Os filtros espaciais utilizados para analisar a situação como um todo, aliados a produtos de informação atualizados em tempo hábil para verificar a produção local permitem monitorar de fato os principais riscos relacio-nados condições agrometeorológicas e o manejo da produção agrícola. A convergência tecnológica entre os sistemas de informação e de suporte à decisão por meio de servidores nas nuvens possibilita hoje automatizar grande parte das análises que se podem obter com base nas informações disponíveis e fazer chegar o conhecimento até o usuário final. As redes de empresas formadas para produzir dados espaciais, seja por meio de satélites de sensoriamento remoto ou redes de estações meteorológicas, estão preparadas para garantir um fluxo contínuo de informação para serem consumidos por usuários deste conhecimento. Os informes deste trabalho e as conclusões desta investigação remetem à hipótese de que a comunicação de informações de forma inteligente, em tempo hábil de serem aplicadas na to-mada de decisão eficiente, permite que os riscos associados aos cultivos sejam mais bem mi-tigados e, portanto gerem valor aos acionistas com ativos ligados ao agronegócio. O maior desafio desta dissertação de mestrado encontra-se em mostrar aos atores do agrone-gócio que, ao dotar os agricultores de meios para que eles possam gerir sua atividade com base nas melhores práticas de manejo agrometeorológico, incentivar a criação de mecanismos que aperfeiçoem a gestão rural e ampliem o acesso à informação, e não apenas auxiliá-los sob a forma de apoio ad hoc e assistência agronômica, de fato se amplia a capacidade de gestão dos riscos associados às atividades agrossilvipastoris.
