Node failures in Wireless Sensor Networks composed by static sensor nodes are common due to the nature of the sensor devices and the usually harsh environments in which they are deployed. Node failures can diminish the performance of the network as a whole, thus affecting its functionality in delivering the desired services. For instance, significant regions can become uncovered due to failure of several nearby nodes. This paper reports a study about the use of mobile sensor nodes acting in cooperation with static ones in order to fill gaps created by faulty static nodes. The proposed fault handling mechanism presents alternative policies with pros and cons, depending on the user priorities imposed to the system and the occurrence of failures. A discussion about this topic is presented based on results obtained by simulation of the proposed mechanisms.

Electrosurgical sparks are responsible for the cutting, fulguration and desiccation effects in electrosurgical procedures. Although the output circuitry (that one in contact with the patient) is protected against dc current by compulsory capacitance, dc electrical energies can arise from the spark mechanism. Electrosurgical sparks are not a linear phenomena and can produce undesirable electrical and therefore physiological effects, including electrostimulation and dc burns. This paper shows some of the mechanisms involved in the production of these sparks, their peculiar characteristics, and possible damage hazards, as well as the methodology used in this study.
