    We present the design and implementation of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition SCADA web system of pollution factors such as Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) in order to manage them, providing comfort in indoor environments. The SCADA web system allows a comparative analysis of the recorded information with the alert, alarm and emergency levels, established in the Ecuadorian air quality regulations, annex 4 of Book VI of the Unified Legislation of Secondary Legislation of the Ministry of the Environment., The SCADA web system performs the comparison of the registered information, with the physical agents of environmental comfort, established in the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) standards. In the process of stabilization of the pollution factors, in indoor environments, air ionizers are used, which emit negative ions to maintain the standardized range in micrograms per cubic meter (3). Finally, we have been able to develop a SCADA web system for controlling pollution factors in indoor environments thanks to the integration of firebase (Android Studio), authentication (Facebook), notification (Database and Web Server), control and monitoring (Android Studio) interfaces. Besides, the SCADA web system allows preventing long term health problems such as allergic reactions, physical exhaustion and respiratory diseases, which influence academic performance during study days in educational institutions. © 2018 IEEE.

    This document presents the development of a Node-RED application with an interactive graphical interface for the visualization of emotional biosignals, allowing users to monitor and analyze their emotional state. The objective is to record relevant information on the implementation of algorithms in real time and the integration of sensors such as the MAX30100 and AD8232 ECG, together with an ESP32 and electrodes to take the samples, in order to identify emotional patterns using predefined thresholds. The aim is to optimize the efficiency of the system by improving biosignal transmission algorithms, minimizing resource consumption, and guaranteeing fast and fluid visualization of emotions on OLED screens, to improve the overall user experience. In this study, a methodology divided into four phases was used: research, development, integration, and optimization. Once the application was implemented, the results obtained in the identification of emotional patterns were compared and the algorithms that offered the best performance were optimized. Finally, an intuitive graphical interface was created in Node-RED that allows users to efficiently visualize and monitor their emotional biosignals, functioning as a tool to optimize people’s emotional well-being.

    We report the design, manufacture, and testing of the Michell-Banki turbine by using the hydraulic data of the Ambato - Huachi - Pelileo water irrigation channel in the Tungurahua province in Ecuador. The turbine has the blade, impeller, flange and shaft that are purely plastic materials because they will be subject to the action of water and thus be able to extend the life of the components. For an optimal design it was considered an efficient alternative, which is the manipulation of the turbine, it should be portable and as light as possible. When performing the tests, it was determined that there is an error around 14% between speed and torque calculations, while the greater efficiency of the turbine is at the exit of each oval of the channel. The main contribution of the present work is to provide the required promise component in a Pico-Hydro that is expected to be implemented in the water irrigation channel. Also this work aims to provide several benefits to the society bordering the irrigation channel, such as generating energy for self-consumption as a contribution to the lighting of the channel at no cost to the people. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    We present theoretical and experimental results regarding the saturable absorber length optimization for the generation of stable mode-locked regimes of a novel on-chip colliding pulse mode-locked semiconductor laser structure. We have been able to apply the design criteria acquired from previous theoretical and experimental reports to define a suitable gain section length for a given saturable absorber section length. The latter is independent from the cavity length and allows obtaining stable mode-locked regimes with the required repetition rate and pulse width in the range of picoseconds for different applications. We have developed four on-chip colliding pulse mode-locked laser structures with saturable absorber lengths ranging from 20 to 50 μm in steps of 10 μm with fundamental repetition rate at 25 GHz and twice this frequency at 50 GHz when operated in the colliding pulse mode-locked regime. The theoretical study was carried out by using the simulation tool called FreeTWM which is a free travelling wave model software designed for the study of the dynamics of multisection semiconductor lasers, while the experimental analysis was executed on the samples fabricated on a generic InP photonic integrated technology through a multi-project wafer run. © 1995-2012 IEEE.

    In this paper, we developed an artificial intelligence-based data filtering algorithm to improve the accuracy and reliability of MPU6050 sensor measurements. Using the Edge Impulse platform, we trained and optimized the machine learning model for real-time processing of accelerometer and gyroscope readings. The solution was implemented on the ESP32 with a sampling rate of 600 Hz. The experimental results validated the effectiveness of the solution, highlighting its relevance in applications requiring real-time monitoring

    Integration of renewable energies in conventional power systems based on computational reliability

    We report the successful computational reliability of integrating renewable energy into conventional electric power systems. According to renewable resources available in the province of Imbabura in Ecuador, where there are sufficient renewable resources to generate clean energy with three types of technology, such as wind energy, photovoltaic solar energy and thermoelectric energy. We have been able to conduct two fundamental case studies, and then calculate reliability indices using the non-sequential Monte Carlo method using Matlab programming. The reliability indices allowed us to evaluate the reliability of the system. Due to the fact that the lower the reliability index, the higher the reliability of the system. As a result, this paper provides a promising method for increasing the reliability of electric power systems and supporting the future integration of renewable energies. © 2019, Associacao Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao.

    In this paper, the development of two microstrip antennas for electromagnetic energy harvesting systems is presented. The first one, is the Hybrid Resonator Planar Structure Antenna operating at a specific 900 MHz frequency, while the other is an Archimedean Spiral Multiband Antenna working in a frequency range of 1 to 3 GHz, both were developed for energy harvesting systems. Both antennas were designed using CST Studio software and fabricated in a low cost FR4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm, dielectric constant of 4.4 and an input impedance of 50 Ω. The frequencies achieved with the antennas are very promising, as it offers good performance for electromagnetic energy harvesting applications since it operates at standard frequencies such as GSM, Wi-Fi, LTE and UMTS which are available in the environment and allow us to harvest energy at any place and any time. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
