With the technological development of a new class of wastes, the technological ones were created. Many times, this waste is not processed correctly, having its hazardous disposal. Thus, recycling these materials is an alternative to end specific equipment. This work used this approach to develop a low-cost, affordable second-row conveyor belt. The conveyor belt was designed to bag, weigh, and monitor different volumes in a grain silo. Such equipment is of interest to smallholder applications as well as the integration between different areas of the Biosystems engineering course.

Femtocells are considered one of the ultimate solutions for the ever increasing demand in LTE-Advance. Recently, wireless industries have resorted to femtocell networks in order to enhance indoor coverage and quality of service since macro-antennas fail to reach these objectives. In enabling indoor home or enterprise users with mobile broadband solutions, role of femtocells are crucially important. While considering low cost solutions for higher coverage and data rate, femtocells apparently have one of the best potentials for indoor users. Due to the dense self-deployment of femtocells in a limited area, serious inter-femtocell interference (IFI) may cause, which consequently results in severe performance degradation. To mitigate the IFI and utilize spectrum resource more efficiently, this paper proposes a cluster based femtocell deployments along with a capacity based cognitive resource allocation scheme .Three different channel configurations in a hybrid access femtocell network are considered for performance analysis. The results of a performance analysis of the cluster based femtocell configurations in a priority based users’ network are presented.

In the last years the small satellites have played an important role in the technological development. The attractive short period of design and low cost of them and the capacity to solve problems that are usually considered as problems to big and expensive spacecrafts lead us to study the control problem of these satellites. Active three-axis magnetic attitude stabilization of a low Earth orbit satellite is considered in this work. The control is created by interaction between the magnetic moment generated by magnetorquers mounted on the satellite body and the geomagnetic field. This problem is quite complex and difficult to solve. To overcome this difficulty guidance control is considered, where we use ε-strategies introduced by Pontryagin in the frame of differential games theory. Qualitative analysis and results of numerical simulation are presented.

Abstract. The miniature electron and ion spectrometer MEDUSA on Astrid-2 consists of two "top-hat"-type spherical electrostatic analyzers, sharing a common top-hat. Fast energy sweeps (16 electron sweeps and 8 ion sweeps per second) allow for very high temporal resolution measurements of a two-dimensional slice of the particle distribution function. The energy range covered, is in the case of electrons, 4 eV to 22 keV and, in the case of ions, 2 eV to 12 keV. MEDUSA is mounted with its aperture close to the spin plane of Astrid-2, which allows for good pitch-angle coverage when the local magnetic field is in the satellite spin plane. The PIA-1/2 spin-scanning ultraviolet photometers measure auroral emissions. Using the spacecraft spin and orbital motion, it is possible to create two-dimensional images from the data. Spin-scanning photometers, such as PIA, are low-cost, low mass alternatives to auroral imagers, but place constraints on the satellite attitude. Data from MEDUSA are used to study processes in the auroral region, in particular, electrodynamics of aurora and "black aurora". MEDUSA is also a technological development, paving the way for highly capable, miniaturized particle spectrometers.Key words. Ionosphere (instruments and techniques) – Magnetospheric physics (auroral phenomena; instruments and techniques)
