This paper describes a research project of the design and implementation of modular education model and creative project support of technical faculty automotive/mobility students key competences improvement that involves intentions of the University of Zilina, a science, education and research institution. Improving the faculty education environment, particularly those that are automotive/mobility engineering-performing includes requirements that are effectively adopted to assess targeted goals for 21st century technical graduates’ key competences. This work, obtaining automotive/mobility and academic area experts contributions by using project research findings, students´ outcomes and instructors´ feedback with the probability of adjusting module´s learning content and learning/teaching methods at the same time is aimed. This research focused upon qualitative synthesis methods to investigate faculty experiences with modular teaching/learning concept implementation. In particular, the study used an interpretive approach to synthesize findings from 7 experimental pilot student’s groups conducted by 12 researchers involving teachers-practitioners to learning content modules review, students´ learning outcomes portfolio assessments and interviews with 100 faculty students with modular teaching/learning experiences in the period of 2017-2019. In this article, the author identifies handful research results of innovative competency-based concept in modular education model that can help to achieve the goal that all graduates from technical faculty are well-prepared for further long-life learning, successful careers, and flexible adaptation in the society. First, a competency-based concept is built to reflect the core elements of engineering education programs and practices that have been shown to be effective in student’s pilot groups engaged in perspective study programs (electronics, autotronics). Second, modules design-cycle testing is used to allow the modules to be revised in ways that adapt it to a particular engineering learning content in specific technical skills implementing support of activity, innovation and cooperation. Third, a project researchers and education practitioner’s partnership in creative projects for individual students targeted to automotive/mobility is employed that strives to both take advantage of and build faculty didactics knowledge management ownership and teachers expertise.

The paper describes the methodology of applying the adhesive to the edges of the power module. We bring a possibility how to use 3-axis robotic arm DOBOT Magician for printing masks from user defined raster images or application of specified substance (glue, silicone…) onto printing surface. The robotic arm DOBOT controlled by a camera system ensures the application of the adhesive. We use LabVIEW development environment for image processing. We further describe the control methodology of robotic arm using edge detection. In conclusion, we focus on the comparison of line tracking methods in terms of redundancy of robotic arm movements and their optimization.

The paper deals with modelling and simulation of a direct-controlled [3x5] matrix converter (MxC) supplying 5-phase IM. Because of existence basically two manners of a control of matrix converter are possible, the analyzed direct method is compared to indirect controlled one with regarding to a five-phase output of MxC. As an output of the converter is supposed a 5-phase induction motor whose winding can be in star-, pentagon- and pentacle connection. Simulation results are given at the end of the paper.

This paper investigates GTEM cell field uniformity and provides TEM mode verification for GTEM 1000 cell in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz. Field uniformity is essential in electromagnetic compatibility immunity tests. Uneven field distribution might lead to test mistakes and decrease measurement accuracy. Verification of TEM mode and field uniformity provides good representation of cell manufacturing quality, materials and structure imperfections or defects. GTEM cell capabilities for device under test size limits could be expanded knowing exact field distribution and uniformity at the reference plane.

The number of cars driving on the roads is increasing every year. Due to the large number and especially the weight of passing vehicles, roads are in critical condition and need more and more investments for their repair. This incurs significant costs for road operators. Article goals are the visual classification of passing vehicles over the tested platform using neural networks. The differences, performance and their structures comparisons of these two neural networks, AlexNet and GoogLeNet, will be described.

Measurement of skin mechanical properties suffers from different issues. Many methods for describing it have already been developed. The available methods do not meet every requirement from clinical practice. This paper presents technical concept of new method for measuring mechanical properties of human skin with aim for usage in clinical conditions. The emphasis during development is put on availability even during procedures and fast measurements results above precision and complexion. The paper then presents design of the device called "elastometer" we developed and presents results of measurements on plastic samples as well as human skin. Measuring of samples suggests that this new simple method is comparable with the more complex ones. The goal is to present this new concept to readers and to prove potential of this concept for future development. More on the topic can be found in theses which led to this paper [1], [2] (in czech).

Temperature monitoring is a major issue in induction motor drives, because temperature variations with the working conditions may affect the machine lifetime and the control performance as well. The paper presents a technique for on-line monitoring the rotor and stator temperature on field oriented induction motor drives, based on a new approach to estimate the rotor time constant and stator winding resistance. The proposed approach exploits the injection of small additional current signals to extract the thermal status of the electrical machine, without affecting the normal drive operation. Moreover, it does not require other transducers than those normally already present in a standard field oriented controlled drive and can be applied on both conventional and sensorless induction motor drives. The stator and rotor temperature estimation can be used either to prevent dangerous overheating, either to on-line tuning the control system. The practical effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by simulations.

The study deals with the electromagnetic interferences (EMI) of the human hearth system with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). The preliminary fundamental theory is put on complete electrotechnical description of low-frequency, slow changing magnetism in human with CIEDs. Theory parallels Energy Conservation Principle with Maxwell description and its possibility of using. The aim is to define electromagnetic interference (EMI) and its limits of the cardiac system inclusive CIEDs peacemakers. We point to possible risks of electromagnetic interaction and discuss mechanisms that can influence the CIEDs sensitivity. This paper implies methods of modelling and simulation useful for clinical research in cardio stimulation with respect new trends of power electronic in electromobility.
