Power policies are widely applied at computer systems such as desktops, notebooks, and smartphones. For example, the timeout policy to turn off the display. A power management policy must be tested by measuring the power consumption of an experimental platform running workloads. Such tests must be fast enough to feedback the development process with valuable information about the power policy performance. In this work, we have presented a methodology for estimating computer systems power consumption for time scaled experiments. Using the proposed methodology, we have reduced the overall time for developing a power management policy.

This paper proposes three dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) topologies. Such configurations are able to compensate voltage sags/swells in three-phase four-wire (3P4W) systems under balanced and unbalanced conditions. The proposed systems in this work use two independent dc-links. The complete control system, including the PWM technique, is developed and comparisons between the proposed configurations and a conventional one are performed. Simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the theoretical approach.

An unidirectional three-phase to three-phase dc-link converter is proposed, in this paper. It is composed of three unidirectional ac-dc-ac three-leg converters with a shared-leg. The three-leg converter is composed of a non-controlled leg, two controlled legs and a dc-link. A suitable model and control strategy of the systems, including a synchronization method, are proposed. The synchronization method, associated with the PWM strategy allow the grid currents and load voltages have the same phase angle of the input converter voltages. This method ensures sinusoidal grid currents and mitigate the zero-crossing distortions normally caused by the use of diodes. Simulation and experimental results are also presented for validation purposes.

The program Support Plan Restructuring and Expansion of Brazilian Federal Universities (REUNI) allowed the expansion of course offerings and the number of university students in Brazil. In this sense, the participation of the Federal University of Santa Catarina allowed the creation and installation of new campuses Araranguá, Curitibanos and Joinville in 2009. The engineering Center for Mobility (CEM), installed on campus in the city of Joinville, had based their design limitations related to infrastructure in Brazil. Mobility engineering is a field of knowledge that deals with the development of technical systems and vehicular transportation infrastructure whose function is to transport people, products and information. This is a qualitative study, with analysis of documents and searches the sites, papers. In Political Pedagogical Project are offered three cycles of knowledge, the first two years of basic training and disciplines of engineering, the second course of a year, with disciplines that enable specific skills, and the third two-year cycle and how engineers in seven specialties (Naval and Oceanic engineering, Aeronautics and Space, Automotive, Railway, Mechatronics;Traffic and logistics, and transportation infrastructure). The objective of this paper is to analyze the innovative aspects of the political pedagogical project of CEM/UFSC, one of the organization in cycles with the training of engineers at the end of the fifth year of study, and also allows an exit for intermediate students who do not most want to complete engineering, at the end of the second cycle. In this case they can apply for graduation Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Mobility emphasis on training: vehicular or transport. Thus formed technicians and engineers, these professionals in underserved areas and with strong impact on the country's development.

The University is considered as playing a relevant role in the local context, as well as collaborating for the regional development due to its plural character. The Federal Universities are formal institutions that follow specific rules and regulations and are present in all Brazilian states aiming at educating professionals to meet the country's needs. Although being country-wide organizations, their action is local. A Federal University may be considered as a driver for local and regional development. Additionally, the institution has innovative principles and follows them, as is the case of UFSC (Santa Catarina Federal University) campus in Joinville-SC/BR. The aim of this paper is to analyze the creation of the Inovaparq in the light of the Triple Helix (TH) since the implementation of the Mobility engineering Center at UFSC. To this end, we adopted a qualitative approach as a method, with bibliographical and documental research, being configured as a case study. As a result of this action, there are the establishment of an Technological Innovation Park in Joinville and Region (Inovaparq), two public notices and some companies that had already working at Inovaparq platforms. The success of the incubated companies in Inovaparq is also an important outcome of this venture.

A way to deal with the variations in the link quality of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is the use of strategies for Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA). The first step to perform DCA is estimating the channel quality, so that the network nodes can decide if a channel change is needed, and the best channel to be used. This paper proposes a distributed approach with nodes dedicated to monitor channel quality, by using the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and the Link Quality Indicator (LQI) to identify low quality channels. This approach is acceptable in industrial WSN, since the network deployment can be performed with adequate planning. Furthermore, the sensor nodes do not need to stop their operation for monitoring the channel quality. As a first step, experiments were performed in a real industrial environment to identify the relation between RSSI and LQI traces, and the Packet Error Rate for different channels, by using IEEE 802.15.4 radios operating in the 2.4 GHz band.

Faced with a scenario where the growth of urban centers is increasing, the BRT system comes as a viable solution to this, enabling the development of functional bus corridors, serving to meet the demand of rapid shifts, especially in areas with high population density. However, to characterize as a system, it is necessary to measure their level of performance in the face of various aspects that are part of his characterization. For this, the article aims to study the main criteria influencers for the development of a performance measurement system for the BRT systems in Brazil, using for this the bibliographic research, technical manuals and expert opinion about the subject, focusing, at the end of this, to reveal these criteria, aiming at the future the elaboration of indicators to facilitate its performance evaluation.
