Air quality is a very hot topic now. Real-time monitoring through IoT technologies and cloud services allows each of us to check the outdoor air quality in various areas of the cities where we live at any time. A less discussed aspect is the fact that we spend only 20% of our time outside and the rest indoors, in our apartment, at work, or in other closed places. If the quality of the air we breathe for a fifth of our time is such an intense topic, how important are the remaining 80%? For indoor spaces, there is a lot of discussion about thermal comfort, especially since now the energy crisis is present globally, which forces a moderate heating policy during the winter. This paper tries to capture a real snapshot of indoor air quality during the winter when the health of the population, through the air they breathe, is weighed against the expensive thermal comfort.

The paper deals with problems related to the improvement of power quality of the energy supplied to the national energy system by a high-capacity power group. Relations characterizing the non-sinusoidal waveforms of three-phase voltages and currents are presented. Preliminary evaluations revealed the existence of a significant distorting regime in the excitation circuit of the power group when a different excitation system (static) started to be used. A system dedicated to the compensation of non-sinusoidal regimes, relying on active filtering, was proposed and implemented by authors. Preliminary original simulations were made firstly using MATLAB/Simulink. Several compensation solutions were considered (current harmonics compensation with no compensation of reactive power along the fundamental harmonic, compensation of reactive power along the fundamental harmonic without current harmonics compensation and compensation of both current harmonics and of reactive power along the fundamental harmonic). Based on the simulations results, one selected test was made with the implemented active filter, considering the same inputs and solutions as in the case of simulations. It was proven that improvements were obtained relative to the operation of the power group. There is no specialty standard for power sources and therefore more studies are needed to issue a reliable one.

As global demand for electric-powered vehicles rises, the development of high-performance traction motors receives a strong impulse, this fact has determined local market-leading company UMEB from Bucharest, Romania to develop a new line of traction motors, optimized for electric buses. This motor must deliver high torque for a wide speed range, low weight, and high power density. The article describes the development of such a motor, starting from the selection of the solution, the primary dimensioning, the digital simulation, the design, the execution, and the commissioning tests of the prototype. The work was performed by a team of specialists, to replace the asynchronous traction motor with the permanent magnet synchronous motor solution.

This paper presents an analysis, design of system parts, and practical development of an ultrasonic cleaning system based on a pulse-density modulation converter. The use of the pulse-density modulation control method makes it possible to achieve a significant reduction in switching losses and increase the converter efficiency under various loads and with a wide range of power control. And the use of a separate filter for each transducer makes it easy to assemble the converter for a wide power range without the need to modify filter components. A prototype ultrasonic cleaning unit has been implemented, and the experiments demonstrated the operability of the proposed system. The developed unit operates at a frequency close to 41.8 kHz with a maximum output power of 200 W.

The nutrient deficiency in soil lessens the yield of crops as well as affects the growth of crops. As a result, this requires a suitable treatment process to address the nutrient deficiency. A good soil quality is important for successful agricultural outcomes because it ensures that plants and crops are maintained. Through correct management of soil nutrients, crop yield will increase. The authors propose the design and development of an automated control system for soil nutrient deficiency of yellow corn. The device will be composed of sensors, controller, power source, and fertilizer applicator to be installed in an agricultural field and apply the appropriate treatment process. The sensor detects the amount of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) in the soil. The system is intended to determine what nutrients are deficient. After the detection process, a signal is transmitted to the fertilizer applicator to start the treatment process.

The degradation of electrical contacts is closely related to contact resistance. Contact resistance in electrical connections is a consequence of numerous factors interlinked, e.g., oxidation, temperature, mechanical vibration, narrowing of electrical current as it passes through the interface, and other contaminants from the surrounding environment. This paper presents an experimental study of the degradation of electrical contacts by performing accelerated thermal aging of fabricated physical samples and evaluating the contact resistance in the low current and voltage range. The electrical contact sample used in this study was prepared by depositing ZrCu (Zirconium Copper) alloy coatings on a copper-clad laminate using cathodic arc deposition. The experimental results indicate that the contact resistance increases as the contacts degrade over time and the size of the contact load improves the total contact area between the samples.

The paper presents the Smith chart as the most used visual method for RF circuits. Smith chart gives an intelligent approach to represent complex functions. The basic concepts that enable the Smith chart to be applied in the analysis, synthesis, and design of analog RF circuits are presented. It is shown that the Smith chart is a simple method to represent not only impedances and admittances in the complex plane, but also reflection coefficients in the polar plane (amplitude and phase). It also allows drawing constant Q circles, constant Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) or even stability circles. It is shown that the Smith chart not only eliminates a substantial amount of computation, but also allows for a very intuitive visual representation of impedances and admittances. Although the graphical use of this diagram does not provide accurate calculations, the intuitive form of the results and the ease with which some impedances can be adapted, substantially eases the design work.

In order to achieve a greater reliability, sensor nodes working with limited resources has some drawbacks when it comes to ensure secure communication between sensor nodes. Because in theory there is no need to hide the algorithm as long as the cryptographic keys are safe, the more random a key is the harder for an attacker is to find it. Although hardware reprogrammable platforms consume more energy than microcontrollers, they prove to have considerable advantages when implementing RNG's regarding the speed and the possibility of using bitwise operations, thus being more versatile. In this paper, a Filed Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design who use data collected from different on board sensors to generate cryptographic keys. Randomness analysis of the generated data is then performed using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) methodology in order to validate the proposed design.

Induction Motor (IM) is widely used in power and industrial drives due to their ease of construction, ruggedness, and free maintenance. To achieve higher performance and robust stability, vector control methods are preferred over scalar control methods. Among various vector control methods, field-oriented control (FOC) is the most popular in modern AC drives. However, the cost and the complexity involved in extra wiring at hardware are the major drawbacks for the sensor-based IM. The industrial power sector demands high-performance real-time controllers to monitor and control the electric drive parameters for various power control applications. In this work, the performance investigation of the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is presented for the speed sensorless IM drive. The performance analysis is carried out by using a novel real-time FPGA-based Snetly controller (Xilinx ARTIX-7 (XC7A200T) FPGA Controller with a 150 MHz clock frequency). The main objective of this work is to estimate the rotor speed of a sensorless IM drive under different loading conditions. The results are validated and verified using MATLAB/Simulink software and Snetly Controller.
