We evaluate the performance of an energy con-
strained cognitive full-duplex network coding based scheme.
The secondary cooperative network is composed of two energy-
constrained full-duplex users that cooperate to transmit their
independent information to a common destination. The secondary
users do not have sources of energy and they harvest...

This paper presents the development of a new
interrogation technique for optical fiber sensors based on long
period grating (LPG). The technique is a simple and robust
mathematical model, that considers all the LPG’s spectral
parameters, such as the bandwidth, the resonance wavelength,
and the attenuation depth. The validation of this technique...

This article describes a method for segmenting
images of the dorsal hand for the purpose of locating and
extracting the pixels that compose the veins region in the images.
Thus, it is possible to identify a person using veins information
as a biometric feature. The article also describes the steps of a
complete biometric system. At the end, we...

Currently, physical objects are integrated and con-
nected in the networks to provide services for people perform-
ing the well-known Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. IoT
environments are characterized by a high degree of devices
heterogeneity and network protocols, where each object may
have different processing capabilities or different...

Phantom mode has been proposed to improve G.fast
applications. However, the most of the phantom mode systems
deploy the first phantom layer only. Nevertheless, this work
analyses the feasibility of a system, which deploys an additional
phantom mode level, called second phantom layer. The entire
system, first and second layers and differential...

Verification process in digital television (DTV) pro-
duction often includes a tuning and decoding check, which ensure
that assembled devices are capable to reproduce audio and video.
Poor test signals conditions, however, may cause device rejection,
leading to losses of time and money for the manufacturer.
This work proposes a real time DTV test...

This work investigates an alternative approach to
the problem of blind equalization. The approach is based on
complexity measures and is inspired by preceding successful
application of the same framework to the problem of blind source
separation. We draw the relationship between algorithmic com-
plexity, a measure for randomness within the area of...

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre antenas
impressas do tipo microstrip ou microlinha, construídas sobre um
substrato convencional de Fenolite, também muito usado em
eletrônica. As antenas são projetadas para operar a 2,4 GHz.

The wavelet shrinkage approach has been
considered a method of low computational cost and reasonable
performance in signal denoising. However, this method is not
entirely adaptive, because of its dependence on parameters such as
the wavelet function and scale. This paper aims to evaluate the
relation between the performance of the method and...

from the glottal signal using Hidden Markov Models to identify
the stochastic pattern of these measurements. The glottal signal is
generated when the air flow passes through the...
