In Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) systems the communication bus between the controller and axis servo drives must offer high bandwidth, noise immunity and time determinism. More and more CNC systems use real-time Ethernet protocols such as Ethernet Powerlink (EPL). Many modern controllers are closed costly hardware-based solutions. In this article the implementation of EPL communication b...

Since Parodi reported the first successful endovascular aneurysm repair procedure in 1991, this procedure has gained wide acceptance for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms in the past two decades. This minimally invasive approach has been proven effective and safe in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm patients with lower early morbidity and mortality rates compared to open surg...

Event-based cameras are not common in industrial applications despite they can add multiple advantages for applications with moving objects. In comparison with frame-based cameras, the amount of generated data is very low while keeping the main information in the scene. For an industrial environment with interconnected systems, data reduction becomes very important to avoid network saturation a...

Endovascular, catheter-based alternatives to open surgery for repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm have emerged over the last two decades using stent graft devices largely designed to mimic surgical grafts. These devices have similar characteristics, including relatively short main bodies, one long integrated limb, separate modular limb component(s) for assembly in situ, and requirement for fixa...

In the 21st century, society has been undergoing a technology-driven transformation which heralds new revolution that potential to strengthen position of an individual and community but may also lead marginalization certain groups. The Internet Things takes advantage technology’s improve digital competencies quality life in society. purpose this paper is obtain information about needs contempor...

Network protocol designers have always been divided between the adoption of centralized or distributed communication architectures. Despite exhibiting negative aspects like the existence of a single point-of-failure in the master as well as computational overhead and an inefficient handling of the asynchronous communications, Master-Slave protocols have always found their space mainly given the...

The proliferation of low-cost embedded system platforms has allowed the creation of large communities of developers, as well as the development of new advanced applications. Even though some of these applications can be of industrial relevance, their immediate application to real products is not straightforward since most of them require a complete and expensive hardware redesign of the conside...
