A presente invenção tem como objecto um dispositivo para medição de espessura de pregas cutâneas instrumentado digitalmente para leitura da espessura das pregas cutâneas e dotado de capacidades de comunicação sem-fios com um posto de comunicação remoto (ex. computador pessoal) com uma aplicação computacional que integra uma base de dados. O dispositivo desenvolvido utiliza princípios de funcionamento distintos ...
The International Society for Engineering Education (IGIP) and The Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (SPEE), the first being the oldest European Society for Engineering Education in Europe and the second the very young Society for Engineering Education in Portugal, have been intensifying the collaboration between the two societies as well as the exchange and dissemination of information about their r...
Nowadays, the assessment of body composition is of great meaning but traditional skinfold callipers recognized in the nutritional area have not been technologically updated to provide a more effective performance with greater accuracy, allowing automatic data processing and recording in a database, offering a more user friendly handling not requiring technicians with a high degree of expertise. In order to over...
Abstract: The amount of fat in human body composition relative to total body weight (%BF) is considered a determinant factor to a healthier and longer life. In this paper a neural network approach, that overcomes some of the current limitations of assessing %BF through skinfold thickness measurement with calliper devices, is presented. Neural networks recognised capabilities in modelling nonlinear problems can ...
This work describes an experience carried out using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the assessment of the individual project in the final graduation year. This challenge involved two institutions of higher education: Minho and Porto Universities.
Este artigo apresenta um curso de ensino à distância no âmbito da Medição de Deformação. Está ainda perspectivado para ser usado como apoio online ao ensino presencial do mesmo tema na disciplina de Instrumentação para Medição do tronco comum da Licenciatura em Engenharia Mecânica (LEM), da Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP). O curso encontra-se dividido em 6 módulos, perfazendo um total de...
