Design of a low cost sun tracking controller system for photovoltaic panels

The two most important parameters in generating electrical energy from photovoltaic panels are the amount of sun radiance and sunshine duration. Because sunshine duration cannot be consistently relied upon, the most important factor is to utilize sun radiance at an optimum level. In the consequence of the experimentally made study and measurements, the capacity of the utilization of sun tracking systems and the capacity to produce electrical energy obtained from photovoltaic panels can be increased by 25%–50%. The decrease of photovoltaic panel sale prices down to $0.5 per watt in the consequence of intense studies over photovoltaic panel seems to have decreased the demand on sun tracking systems with high costs because the manufacturers of photovoltaic panels have heavily made their investments not on tracking systems but on panel production. In order to decrease the costs, to some degree, of sun tracking systems in this study, both the easy setup of the system is performed and the decrease of costs is enabled by improving the tracking system. For this purpose, only two-small photovoltaic panels mounted back-to-back with each other are used to provide the necessary movement for the tracking system. Also, an electronic circuit card design is made for control and system movement. The average cost of the system is accounted to be about $48. Such a kind of sun tracking system provides a considerable advantage of cost compared to currently used systems and the obtained gain is more.

Design and Use of Task Cards in the Reciprocal Style of Teaching

Task cards are instructional tools that combine a picture of a skill with written instructions about how to perform the skill. This article provides practical guidelines for developing research-based task cards for use in physical education classes. Fitness-related motor skills are used as examples to clarify design principles for task cards. The article also discusses the use of task cards in Mosston and Ashworth's reciprocal style of teaching. In this style of teaching, one learner completes a motor task (the doer), while the other observes (the observer) and provides feedback based on the information presented on the task card. Directions to successfully implement task cards in a progressive manner within reciprocal learning settings are presented, as well as ideas about how motor, cognitive, and social goals in physical education can be achieved through task card use.

The PLEX Cards and its techniques as sources of inspiration when designing for playfulness

Playfulness can be observed in all areas of human activity. It is an attitude of making activities more enjoyable. Designing for playfulness involves creating objects that elicit a playful approach and provide enjoyable experiences. In this paper, we introduce the design and evaluation of the PLEX Cards and its two related idea generation techniques. The cards were created to communicate the 22 categories of a playful experiences framework to designers and other stakeholders who wish to design for playfulness. We have evaluated the helpfulness of both the cards and their associated techniques in two studies. The results show that the PLEX Cards and its associated techniques are valuable sources of inspiration when designing for playfulness.

Designing of Child Growth Chart Based on Multi-Response Local Polynomial Modeling

Problem statements: Anthropometry measures used to measure physical children growth are not onlyweight but also height and head circumference. In this study we develop the estimation of multi-response localpolynomial regression and apply it to design growth chart for children up to five years old based on three responsevariables i.e., weight, height and head circumference. Approach: Based on local polynomial estimator, wedescribe the estimation of multi-response nonparametric regression model by using weighted least squared. Themodel is applied to design health card of children up to five years old by using children data in Surabaya, Indonesia. Generalized Cross Validation (GCV) method is used to determine the order of local polynomial fit and the bandwidthfor each response variable. Results: We formulate the multi-response local polynomial modeling and give a design of health card of children up to five years old in Surabayacity, Indonesia. Conclusion: The child growth chart based on multi-response local polynomial modeling showsincreasing of children nutrition in Surabaya 2010.Because of the strong correlations among all three response variables,the simultaneosly approach for model estimationis better than partly single response approach. The result of simultaneosly model estimation based on multi-response local polynomial modeling satisfies goodness of fit criterion i.e., mean squared error value tend to zero and determination coefficient value tend to one.

How Report Cards On Physicians, Physician Groups, And Hospitals Can Have Greater Impact On Consumer Choices

Public report cards with quality and cost information on physicians, physician groups, and hospital providers have proliferated in recent years. However, many of these report cards are difficult for consumers to interpret and have had little impact on the provider choices consumers are making. To gain a more focused understanding of why these reports cards have not been more successful and what improvements could be made, we interviewed experts and surveyed registrants at the March 2011 AHRQ National Summit on Public Reporting for Consumers in Health Care. We found broad agreement that public reporting has been disconnected from consumer decisions about providers because of weaknesses in report card content, design, and accessibility. Policy makers have an opportunity to change the landscape of public reporting by taking advantage of advances in measurement, data collection, and information technology to deliver a more consumer-centered report card. Overcoming the constraint of limited public funding, and achieving the acceptance of providers, is critical to realizing future success.

Design of Dual-Channel High-Speed Data Acquisition Card Based on USB 3.0 and FPGA

A high-speed data acquisition card using USB 3.0 interface has been designed in order to solve the problem that traditional data acquisition card could not take both data transmission bandwidth and easy connection with PC into account. The data acquisition card controlled the dual-channel 12-bit 20Msps ADC for asynchronous parallel sampling using FPGA as core control module, which made the sampling rate up to 40Msps. The sampled data which was processed by FPGA transferred synchronous from FIFO interface to PC via USB controller. The basic structure of hardware and the basic design method for software and firmware were given in this paper, in which how to use FPGA to realize FIFO was elaborated in detail. The timing simulation of using asynchronous parallel A/D conversion technology and using ADC device of 40Msps sampling rate for FIFO internal data transmission were simulated respectively, thus verified the reliability of asynchronous parallel A/D conversion.

A taste for greeting cards: Distinction within a denigrated cultural form

Greeting cards are a denigrated product category in the USA, and yet consumers use them at high rates across taste formations. Consumers with relatively high cultural capital place a premium on originality in their self-expression, hence greeting cards present a consumption problem because they are a mode of expressing the self through mass-produced means. Based on interviews with 46 women, I show that consumers with higher cultural capital are more likely to prioritize card design over sentiment; select smaller, simpler designs and sentiments; prefer cards that are handmade, look handmade, or remind them of fine art; and are more likely to use cards ironically. In this way, consumers perform exclusivity through their taste, even through a form of mass culture. However, the social embeddedness of greeting card communication means that many consumers balance considerations of taste with the requirements of effective interpersonal communication. The ability to self-consciously modulate signifiers of taste is itself an indication of cultural knowledge and therefore of cultural capital.

An Assistant Interface to Design and Produce a Pop-Up Card

This article describes an assistant interface to design and produce pop-up cards. A pop-up card is a piece of folded paper from which a three-dimensional structure pops up when opened. The authors propose an interface to assist the user in the design and production of a pop-up card. During the design process, the system examines whether the parts protrude from the card or whether the parts collide with one another when the card is closed. The user can concentrate on the design activity because the error occurrence and the error resolution are continuously fed to the user in real time. The authors demonstrate the features of their system by creating two pop-up card examples and perform an informal preliminary user study, showing that automatic protrusion and collision detection are effective in the design process.
