Assessment of thermomechanical stability of DLC films deposited by Ne-HiPIMS te...
Vahidi, Alireza; Serra, Ricardo; Ferreira, Fábio; Cavaleiro, Albano; Oliveira, JoaoEnhancement of the thermomechanical stability of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings is highly demanded by the automotive industry due to graphitization at higher temperatures. This work is devoted to the assessment of the thermomechanical stability of annealed DLC films deposited by increasing Ne up to 50% in high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) plasma, followed by the evaluation of their tribomecha...
Empowering deaf-hearing communication: exploring synergies between predictive a...
Adão, Telmo; Oliveira, Joao; Shahrabadi, Somayeh; Jesus, Hugo; Fernandes, Marco Paulo Sampaio; Costa, Angelo; Gonçalves, Martinho FradeiraCommunication between Deaf and hearing individuals remains a persistent challenge requiring attention to foster inclusivity. Despite notable efforts in the development of digital solutions for sign language recognition (SLR), several issues persist, such as cross-platform interoperability and strategies for tokenizing signs to enable continuous conversations and coherent sentence construction. To address such i...
Deriving UML logic architectures of software product based on a cloud reference...
Morais, Francisco; Pereira, Tiago F.; Salgado, Carlos; Lima, Ana; Pereira, Manuel; Oliveira, Joao; Sousa, Antonio; Rodrigues, HelenaCompanies are nowadays looking for the development of solutions based on public and private clouds capable of interoperating with information sources such as other systems, or devices in an IoT and CPS approach, and subsequently using that information efficiently. However, applying appropriate techniques for requirements engineering and designing logical architectures for that context can be complex. The cloud ...
From handcrafting to a certified and ergonomic collaborative workstation: the d...
Cunha, Joao G.; Faria, Carlos; Colim, Ana; Oliveira, Joao; Rocha, Luis A.; Silva, Marcio; Monteiro, Sérgio; Bicho, EstelaAs manufacturing enters an era of mass customization, new technological solutions with more versatility and flexibility are brought to the industry. Collaborative robots, or COBOTs, can now safely work near humans, a key advantage that enables highly-flexible production and opens the possibility to tackle the incidence of occupational health problems. Although the advantages of collaborative robotic manufacturi...
