Design a Low-Cost Digital Pressure Meter Equipped with Temperature and Humidity Parameters

Calibration is a technical activity which consists of determining one or more properties and characteristics of a product, process or service according to a predetermined special procedure. The purpose of calibration is to ensure measurement results comply with national and international standards. The purpose of this study is to design two mode digital pressure meter (DPM) device equipped with a thermo-hygrometer and pressure in which the design is completed with a selection mode to determine the positive and negative pressure (vacuum) using MPX 5050GP sensor as a positive pressure sensor. In this design DHT 22 sensors is used to measure the humidity and temperature. To test the leak test this device is also equipped with timer. This design uses a 2.4 inch Nextion TFT LCD screen to display data. Data analysis was performed by comparing modul with standard tools.

DAM: Deliberation, Abandon and Memory Networks for Generating Detailed and Non-repetitive Responses in Visual Dialogue

Visual Dialogue task requires an agent to be engaged in a conversation with human about an image. The ability of generating detailed and non-repetitive responses is crucial for the agent to achieve human-like conversation. In this paper, we propose a novel generative decoding architecture to generate high-quality responses, which moves away from decoding the whole encoded semantics towards the design that advocates both transparency and flexibility. In this architecture, word generation is decomposed into a series of attention-based information selection steps, performed by the novel recurrent Deliberation, Abandon and Memory (DAM) module. Each DAM module performs an adaptive combination of the response-level semantics captured from the encoder and the word-level semantics specifically selected for generating each word. Therefore, the responses contain more detailed and non-repetitive descriptions while maintaining the semantic accuracy. Furthermore, DAM is flexible to cooperate with existing visual dialogue encoders and adaptive to the encoder structures by constraining the information selection mode in DAM. We apply DAM to three typical encoders and verify the performance on the VisDial v1.0 dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed models achieve new state-of-the-art performance with high-quality responses. The code is available at https://github.com/JXZe/DAM.

Technologies for obtaining energy from micro-hydropower resources

Currently the global demand for electricity and drinking water is constantly increasing. Given its many economic, social and environmental benefits, hydro energy will be an important contributor to the energy mix of the future. Isolated areas, heavily underdeveloped regions, disaster-affected areas have a common need of easy-to-use means to generate electricity. The most efficient way to meet these needs involves the use of various renewable energy resources available locally. One of the main sources of renewable energy is hydro energy, more specifically micro-hydro energy. However, hydropower projects involve various considerations at different levels of project implementation. To make the most of the available hydropower potential, new models of hydraulic turbines were developed. For a cost-effective and efficient hydropower project, the selection of the hydraulic turbine must be optimally studied. The objective of the present work is to carry out a review of the optimum selection mode of the hydraulic turbine that equips a micro hydropower plant (MHP).

Limitations of the effectiveness of Weigh in Motion systems

Overloaded vehicles pose a real threat to road safety and significantly contribute to the degradation of the road surface. High-Speed Weigh in Motion (HS-WIM) stations are the commonly used method of eliminating them from traffic. In Poland, HS-WIM stations operate in pre-selection mode, sending information to services about the potential exceedance of acceptable standards by a specific vehicle. The article presents the results of the data analysis from selected HS-WIM stations operating on the national road network in Poland indicating significant limitations of the effectiveness of the whole system. The main reason for this may be that carriers use the knowledge about the HS-WIM stations location and working time to avoid inspections. The results presented in the paper indicate, among other things, that in some locations the share of vehicles overloaded with traffic increases significantly outside the working hours of the controlling services. For Light Commercial Vehicle, the share of overloaded vehicles in this group is also significant. Also, the paper indicates that the effectiveness of the procedure for determining vehicle overload has been limited due to errors in classification.

„Wir gucken zuerst auf uns“ – nur wie lange noch? Parteienwettbewerb bei der Kandidatenaufstellung zur Bundestagswahl 2017

The rise of the right-wing populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has changed the German party landscape and challenged the other Bundestag parties . So far, this has not been paid attention to when looking at how parties fulfill their recruitment function, i .e . how they select candidates for elections . This study investigates whether and how the AfD has influenced their rivals’ nomination processes in 2017 . By drawing on guided interviews with members of the selection bodies, strong inertial forces within the established parties in terms of the selection mode became obvious . Similarly, candidates for the Bundestag were largely chosen according to internal party criteria despite increased inter-party competition . Those results notwithstanding there are initial signs that voter-related selection criteria might be weighted stronger in the future . This could be due above all to declining membership figures, changing conditions for competition in the districts and enhanced polarization within the parties .

Optimization of the method for exciting an inverted strip dielectric waveguide with metal plane

Background. Currently, the application of various types of dielectric waveguides in the millimeter wavelength range is very promising, including metal-dielectric structures and functional units based on them. This is due to the simplicity and low cost of manufacturing dielectric waveguides and functional units based on them, the possibility of their integration with active elements, the use of various dielectrics and polymers having both a wide range of dielectric constants and a variety of mechanical properties (in particular, some dielectric materials have significant flexibility).Objectives. To optimize the method of excitation of one of its eigenwaves in a inverted strip dielectric waveguide with a metal plane through a series of physical experiments.Materials and methods. The studied electrodynamic structure belongs to the class of hybrid metal-dielectric structures. Its basis is a inverted strip dielectric waveguide with a metal plane. A feature of the used inverted strip dielectric waveguide is its composition: the main part of the waveguide rod adjacent to the metal plane is made of polystyrene, the second part is made of fluoroplastic. The evaluation of the excitation efficiency was carried out by the magnitude of the introduced attenuation into the tract. Using the method of a moving probe, the degree of concentration of the electromagnetic field near a complex compositional waveguiding rod was estimated. The fields were visualized using the contour method.Results. Based on a series of experimental studies, the method for exciting an inverted strip dielectric waveguide with a metal plane is optimized. The effect of optimal excitation was achieved through the use of the composite design of the dielectric waveguiding rod. With the optimal ratio of the material constants of the layers forming the waveguiding rod and the geometric parameters of these layers, it was possible to significantly expand the working frequency band, within which the level of insertion loss did not exceed the specified values. It was found that the electromagnetic field is concentrated mainly near the dielectric rod, providing a stable wave mode. It has been established that with a certain ratio of structure parameters, the frequency selection mode can be implemented in it. Conclusions. In the course of physical measurements, it was found that a inverted strip dielectric waveguide with a metal plane with the optimal choice of parameters is able to effectively maintain the wave mode with a low level of insertion loss. In general, a structure with a certain choice of parameters can operate in two regimes: waveguiding mode and frequency selection mode.
