    FPGA Implementation of a BPSK Modulator with Frequency Hopping

    No full text
    PSK modulations are very widespread in communication due to their robustness to the noise. In order to avoid interference or for anti-jamming purposes, frequency hopping may be applied. In this work we present an FPGA implementation of a BPSK modulator based on frequency hopping. The results shows good performance, more than 300 MHz of clock system, low area occupation and low power dissipation (about 100 mW)

    Soil Moisture Estimation based on the RSSI of RFID Modules

    Nowadays the RFID technology and Internet of Things are becoming empowering and enabling tools in various fields, including smart and precision agriculture. The aim of this research is to propose an innovative system for the detection of soil moisture based on the use of standard UHF RFID tags and on the measurement of the received signal strength detected by a reader that can be hosted on board drones or farm vehicles. The reader detects the RSSI received from tags placed below the ground level and according to the measured value is able to discriminate if the ground is dry or wet. Microwave propagation is, in fact, strongly influenced by the presence of water in the soil and by exploiting the instantaneous and average RSSI values it is possible to discriminate the conditions of dry and wet soil and, thus, optimize irrigation in a wide area. The results obtained by using a first prototype show that the approach is suitable for any type of soil: sandy, clayey or loamy; further studies must be conducted in order to identify different levels of soil moisture and to determine the moisture levels at different depths

    Safety and efficacy of rotational atherectomy in heavily calcified lesions involving coronary aneurysms

    Percutaneous transluminal rotational atherectomy (PTRA) is one of the most used techniques to facilitate percutaneous coronary intervention in heavily calcified coronary lesion (CCL). Coronary aneurysms (CAs) are detected in 1.2-4.9% of coronary angiogram. The presence of CA and CCL is infrequent but not rare, where the use of PTRA may be mandatory despite the high risk. After a complex procedure of PTRA in a CCL with CA we decided to investigate about this particular condition. We identified a total of six patients among 174 consecutive percutaneous coronary intervention (3.4%). All the procedures showed good stent expansion in the absence of major complications, such as no-reflow or coronary perforation. Cardiovascular death, rehospitalization for myocardial infarction and target lesion failure were not reported at follow-up (252 +/- 152 days). Lay abstract Fat and other substances can build up within blood vessels and block them. There are a few ways to remove this blockage, including a procedure known as percutaneous transluminal rotational atherectomy (PTRA). During PTRA, doctors use a rotating catheter (a soft, hollow tube) whose tip is covered with fine diamond crystals. This will help to vaporize the buildup. However, this process can have some complications, especially when carried out in fragile blood vessels. This paper describes a patient where PTRA was performed in a fragile blood vessel and goes on to investigate other occurrences of this high-risk procedure. We were able to find six patients out of 174 procedures performed at two hospitals in Italy. All of these patients did not have serious side effects from their operation

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Michel Henry et le problème de la manifestation

    No full text
    Dans l’argumentation de l’œuvre fondatrice de la philosophie de Michel Henry, L’Essence de la manifestation (1963), l’interprétation de Fichte joue un rôle central. Elle accompagne en effet l’un des passages décisifs de cette recherche, consistant à formuler la thèse caractéristique de la tradition dominante de la pensée occidentale en tant que «monisme ontologique». Pour comprendre l’enjeu de cette notion, il nous sera nécessaire d’éclaircir d’abord le contexte problématique de l’argumentation henryenne. Ensuite, une fois mis en lumière les caractères essentiels du monisme, on analysera dans le détail le rôle que la philosophie de Fichte joue à l’intérieur de celui-ci. Il s’agira, enfin, d’évaluer la pertinence de la lecture henryenne à l’égard des traits essentiels de la philosophie trans- cendantale de Fichte

    Le se sentir dans le monde et la phénoménalité, entre Henry et Husserl

    No full text
    Lorsqu’on approche l’œuvre de Michel Henry dans l’esprit d’en interroger la situation à l’égard du mouvement phénoménologique, il nous est d’abord nécessaire d’avouer qu’on n’est pas animé par une intention historico-philologique, et que donc notre but ne sera pas celui de juger jusqu’à quel point la lecture henryenne des textes des pères fondateurs de la phénoménologie est philologiquement exacte. Notre but est à vrai dire bien plus circonscrit et, en même temps, bien plus ambitieux ; ce que nous viserons est en effet : 1) de mettre bien en évidence le lien entre le problème phénoménologique fondamental et celui transcendantal concernant la phénoménalité en tant que condition de possibilité de l’apparaître en général ; 2) d’étaler synthétiquement la direction entreprise par la phénoménologie classique à cet égard ; 3) d’indiquer la nouveauté que, à notre avis, Michel Henry y introduit et d’indiquer en quel sens cette nouveauté devrait être admise à l’intérieur de la réflexion phénoménologique ; 4) d’ébaucher la nécessité de reprendre, après Henry, les concepts de transcendance et de monde à partir de la structure des tonalités émotives (Stimmungen). Notre thèse générale est donc la suivante : la phénoménalité se situe dans la vie qui s’éprouve elle-même, mais la vie qui s’éprouve elle-même est, toujours et originairement, une vie qui fait l’expérience d’un monde
