In this paper we will examine the use of the digital screen display as a primary form of accessing information within the museum context. We will argue that this mode of dissemination, achieved primarily through a Graphic User Interface (GUI) though highly efficient in providing contextual support, can be detrimental to a wider sense of social interaction and engagement between visitors, both o...

We present a description of two small audio/visual immersive installations. The main framework is an interactive structure that enables multiple participants to generate jazz improvisations, loosely speaking. The first uses a Bayesian Network to respond to sung or played pitches with machine pitches, in a kind of constrained harmonic way. The second uses Bayesian Networks and Hidden Markov Mode...

Non-residential buildings contribute to around 20% of the total energy consumed in Europe. This consumption continues increase globally. Smart building proposals (focused on Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB), air quality monitoring, saving with thermal comfort, etc.) were already necessary before 2020, and pandemic has made this research development area more essential. Furthermore, need meet ...

Electric Utilities Company of Nigeria (EUCN) have traditionally used electromechanical (EMR) distance relays for the protection of transmission lines in the past, and many such relays are still in use in power systems today. In this paper, microprocessor-based protective relays (MPBRs) applications in the Nigeria power systems protection were investigated. This paper evaluates the performance o...

The risk of explosion becomes significant when, in the industrial field, flammable substances such as gases, vapours, mists, dusts, lint and fibres may be present. If they are present sufficient quantity, is imminent. On other hand, measure shutting down technical equipment, context presence explosive atmospheres, not an acceptable all situations. As examples parts installations that have safet...

To THE LIBRARIAN, architect, or purchasing agent charged for the first time with the selection of bookstacks for a library, the task looks simple enough. In fact, at a glance, the products of the several manufacturers are so similar in appearance that it is difficult to tell them apart. Closer examination, however, reveals variations that may be the difference between a satisfactory installatio...

The activity of evaluation and verification industrial ventilation installations has a strong preventive role in terms explosion risk mainly due to the fact that three determining elements can lead an phenomenon, determine presence two namely fuel (gases, vapours, dusts, mists) source initiation (hot surface, flame, sparks mechanical origin, electrical sparks, static electricity, etc.). develop...

We propose a conceptual framework for describing and documenting sound installations from visitor’s point of view. In the form taxonomy, includes four complementary perspectives: sources, design approaches, visiting modalities visual aspects. Its elaboration was informed by review contemporary in Quebec as well literature on theoretical frameworks art installations. Compared with existing frame...

this paper demonstrates design and fabrication o f a mechatronic system for human drowsiness detection. this system can be used in multiple places. for example, in factories, it is used on some dangerous machinery and in cars in order t o prevent the operator o r driver from falling asleep. this system is composed of three parts: (1) mechanical, (2) electrical and (3) image processing system. a...
