Nowadays, we are forced to face off, more than ever before, an exponential growth of tremendous quantities of data necessary to be local or remotely transferred within cabled or wireless communication networks. We present in this work a methodology used for a short survey and the main findings following queries in important scientific databases. As a result of this research in databases, a sort presentation of achievement related to data rates and optical link, are chronological presented. The Optical Wireless Communication (OWC), complementary to the classical wireless transmission technologies into the radiofrequency (RF) spectrum, consists of Visible Light Communication (VLC), Optical Camera Communication (OCC), Light Fidelity (LiFi), Free Space Optics (FSO) and Infrared (IR). All these technologies and applications are briefly described here with their key characteristics. Various implementations of OWC in different areas so far, as well as the challenges and achievements reached during the last decade of intensive research, are also addressed in this work.

The field of health care began to benefit from devices and solutions provided by both small companies and passionate entrepreneurs developing innovative solutions to modern problems. Therefore, we can know witness an increase in the number of engineering solutions that come to the aid of healthcare professional not only with diagnosing but also providing assistance for medical procedures. In this paper, we look at one such solution – specifically, a project consisting of developing a wearable device that helps identify when a person is experiencing burnout symptoms and providing useful feedback. The wearable device offers a new “sense”, but the person must close the loop and take action with the help of the specialist based on knowledge of coping strategies (cognitive and emotional) in a person-centered approach. In this paper, we looked not only at the device, that is subject of a patent [1], and its capabilities, presented by test results on the developed prototype, but also at its development process in order to help understand what can be improved and how it can become a feasible option for a marketplace, using a model based on a version of the QFD (Quality Function Deployment) method that integrates Agile practices and workflows for monitoring the development process and measuring the outputs.

This research is geared towards shaping, simulating, designing and developing a movement system, which is based on the principles of the Stewart platform. From the point of view of mobility, it is considered a modified Stewart platform so that as mobility increases, the positions of the static and movable points of the platform change until a form compatible with the human shoulder is reached. Using modelling and simulation, the operation of the modified platform and its compatibility with the human shoulder are justified. To make the real model, there have been used technically and economically accessible materials, to obtain a low-cost product. Unlike the classic Stewart platform, the approach covered by this paper is to simplify, by horizontal optimization, the motion system so that it can synthesize the movement of the shoulder joint, with degrees of freedom similar to the human shoulder, while simultaneously maintaining a reliable force level. The main purpose of this work is to reproduce, first by design, then by calculation, a physical model of the biological mechanism of the shoulder. The model designed in this research replaces the muscles with wires and actuators. In this process, the selection and arrangement of components was simplified in positioning and as number, favoring anatomical mimicry. There was studied and constructed the mechanism according to the anatomical descriptions, which were described from a medical point of view, and there can be noticed that by applying technical mechanics, results the same kind of movements, but not necessarily the same type of joint.

The paper explores the industrial tourism development potential of a former mining area in Petrila, Jiu Valley, Romania, drastically affected by deindustrialization, in order to build a theme park in the old mine site. The research context is determined by the current economic and social state of the area, and also by the potential of the identified industrial heritage elements. For this reason, there was developed an optimal selection algorithm, based on multi-criteria analysis and Greedy approach. This optimal selection algorithm blends the objectivity of the technical-economic studies and the subjectivity of the residents’ perceptions of community satisfaction. After carrying out the Petrila case study, the results of the proposed algorithm application concerning the destination, from the point of view of their use, of each existing building in the Petrila site was determined. Compared with other studies, ours considers different criteria and can always be reapplied to validate or refine the selection based on new emerging inputs.

This paper is focused on the research regarding the development of an exoskeleton robotic device for people who have limitations in the basic movements of the upper limbs. Although some movements may seem trivial, they are essential in the rehabilitation process, but also in daily life, because the patient will no longer be dependent on another person for certain operations. First part of this research is focused on modeling and simulating of the human arm movements to determine their limits and particularities. The exoskeleton device is then modeled and simulated, setting the limits and the movements that it will execute following the movements of the arm. The proposed device is equipped with electromyography (EMG) signal acquisition and analysis system that is able to perceive the wearer’s movement intentions, and the drive system will help and support the independent movement of the robotic exoskeleton.

Arising out of military conflicts, defects acquired by birth, the emergence of diseases at any age, but especially the increasing incidence of trauma caused by accidents both work and traffic, a growing number of people remain without parts of the upper limbs. So, necessity of find suitable solution for the people who suffered amputation in order to improve their quality of life must became a priority for the researchers for many domains as doctors, engineers and psychologists. In this paper we propose a 3D modeled solution developed with the support of a computer aided design software that is able to mimic the human arm anatomy being therefore easy to product and suitable to combine the existent and future technology from the market, in order to replace the solutions that are either expensive, uncomfortable or have reduced functionality. In order to validate the model proposed we develop the mathematical model of the human arm and we simulate the entire functionality of the model.

An accurate channel model is both essential and challenging when designing a reliable wireless Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. Modeling the channel in a restricted and harsh environment such as an underground mine, is even more difficult. The objective in our work is to investigate a suitable design of a VLC link for an underground environment, while providing a reliable connectivity between the optical transmitter and optical receiver. In this paper, we present an experimental study that aims to determine a general model of an underground mine optical channel. Considering that the underground optical channel has a nonlinear dynamic behavior described by a nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) mathematical model, the system’s order is established with a feedforward neural network (NN), with a parallel architecture. In this work, in order to define a proper Underground Mine Optical Channel Model (UMOCM) for reliable VLC, we present an innovative approach based on a suitable mathematical model and neural networks (NNs).

In the field of human-centered robotics, there are needed flexible, robust, agile robots that have the natural human like mechanisms in place. In order to achieve these robots, human motor systems must be analyzed and abstracted, from the mechanical level, to the behavioral and cognitive level. In this paper will be presented the abstracted human shoulder joint, seen as a modified Stuart platform, with a platform supported on a pivot and driven by four actuating motors. The elements of resistance imitate the shoulder blade and the humerus, and those of drive and control of the movements represent the four main muscles of the shoulder. They have the shape close to the natural shape of the human bones, and the elements of drive and control, which take over the functions of the muscles, have the location and the points of connection with the elements of resistance similar to the natural connections between bones and muscles. The connections between the natural muscles and the bones are made using the tendons. These flexible links, coupled with the open shape of the shoulder joint, drive the humerus in a 360° rotational motion. To allow a left-up-right-down-left circular motion, we introduced the tendon that has a cardan coupling, on the side of the muscles and a sphere on the side of Humerus.

This paper presents a general framework for the use of modeling and simulation software combined with the 3D printer industry to be used in the sports world in the event of accidents being able to quickly create orthoses. It is shown that with the help of modeling and simulation software one can model and simulate the ankle movement so that later an orthosis can be made as faithful as it can be used. It is presented the fact that practicing in inappropriate conditions of sport presents many health risks. Among the most common mistakes were: incorrect heating of the muscles, improper hydration, intense workouts and execution in exercise rounds without the guidance of a trainer. Starting from these aspects, the research presented in this paper began. The evolution of the prostheses is presented historically and then a classification is made according to the fundamental characteristics from a functional point of view. It also presents the medical conditions in which it is necessary to use a prosthesis. There is presented a modeling and simulation performed in Matlab of the ankle movement so that later it will serve as a starting point to be able to perform a more accurate modeling of a prosthesis with the help of specialized software. To achieve the Matlab model it is considered that the ankle is similar to a 5-foot Stewart platform. To develop the mathematical driving model for this, the Denavit-Hartenberg model was developed for one of the legs. Taking into account in the first instance the medical conditions that must be fulfilled for the realization of a prosthesis, then the mathematical models and the simulations that can be realized with the help of specialized software can be realized prostheses as accurately as possible with the help of the new technologies of 3D printing.

It is a reality that wearable devices are part of our lives. We find them in different forms and answering different utilities and needs. The present research responds to an expressed necessity, namely the awareness on the psychological stress work-related syndrome of burnout, increasingly present in different fields of activity, education being among them. The research is carried out on two directions: (1) The analysis of the relationship between the organizational climate and the burnout state using a quantitative research. The results are concerning the identification of the organizational climate dimensions with the highest influence on the state of burnout and also, the fact that the studied demographic variables have no influence on the state of burnout. (2) The development, prototyping and testing of a burnout state evaluation and prediction device based on a burnout detection algorithm that allows the creation of a user profile. The findings of the research will further allow the testing of the prototype for evaluation and prediction of the burnout state in response to the stressors related to the identified high influence dimensions of the organizational climate. The research is characterized by a high degree of specificity due to the identified premises and the research context focused on the principals from Arab schools from South Israel.

The research is carried out in Petrila, a small town in Jiu Valley, Romania, a mono-industrial area, which was formed and developed on the basis of mining activity, an area that declined after 1990 and which now seeks a sustainable recovery formula, tourism development being one of the alternatives. The research was conducted to establish the premises for a Business Model for Petrila Theme Park. For this, firstly, the potential effects generated by the development of tourism, economic, social and environmental activities from the point of view of the inhabitants were determined. Thus, the model and hypotheses were tested to determine the relationship between the types of effects generated and the general community satisfaction. Also, are presented the results of evaluating the attitude of the inhabitants toward the development of a theme park and the use in this context of modern technologies such as augmented reality. The perspective opened by the presented research is to build an industrial tourist area, as an alternative to the closed mining activity.

The upcoming engineers, students at Automation and Computer Engineering, acquire, during four years of education, a tremendous theoretical information in different areas connected with their educational field of study. From solid mathematical backgrounds to electronics and automation and many other subjects become a stock of incredible useful database for future engineers. The lack of adequate practical work that allow them to connect and get aware on how to use information acquired, lead, in most of the situation, to a useless database of information. This paper presents a model of a good practice work and aims to be a useful example for students in the last year of study on how to handle and realize, starting from one idea and finishing with a working prototype, their graduation project. The example here is a low cost, handy, a real time data acquisition and duplex wireless data communication system. It consists of two modules. The first one is a glove used by an operator, equipped with an Arduino board with a gyroscope, accelerometer and full duplex communication parts that sends movements commands to a mobile robot. The mobile robot is equipped with a camera sending video streaming related to the immediate space and a network of sensors with the aim to acquire environmental data and sent them remotely to the first module.

More and more innovative devices with the wireless communication technology based on radio frequency (RF) embedded makes our everyday live easier and offer a healthier life behavior due to improved local or remote transmission capabilities. Internet of things (IoT) has already become reality, therefore the RF space becomes increasingly congested. Alternative technologies as those based on visible light or IR comes to unload the overcrowded RF spectrum and bring new applications (such as optical camera communication – OCC) and local-based services since they allow to be embedded in small devices with Light Emitting Diodes (LED). The Indoor Positioning and Guiding System (IPGS) described in this paper consists of a number of optical transmitters (oTx) with LEDs embedded into each illumination fixture and a low cost, wearable device as optical receiver (oRx) with solar panel, intended to be used by Visually Impaired People (VIP) when accessing public institutions as schools, museums, indoor stations as underground metro or airports with a dedicated infrastructure to support IPGS. The oRx, wear on by VIPs, receives the optical signal piggybacked by light in a form of a sound message when accessing crowded zones where the dedicated infrastructure is installed. The technique used for IPGS setup is the optical Received Signal Strength (oRSS). The specific, particular scenario described here is the main entrance hall of our university.

This paper addresses the themes of the interfaces for the devices usable in the virtual reality projects, respectively augmented reality. Smart goggles are typically used to implement these. Today’s device interfaces are designed for use on flat screens, such as monitors, TVs, or smart phone screens. These screens are located some distance away from the eyes of the user, while the lenses of the smart glasses will be just a few millimeters away. Intelligent eyeglass interfaces will have several patterns, some framed in the user’s field of view, others will require sliding on their surface. Everyone’s field of view is unique, and this will require a calibration of the device so that the graphics can be readable.

New, emerging technologies, transform every day our life and have direct consequence on our health and well-being. More and more wearable medical devices (MD) with wireless communication technologies embedded are being developed by innovative academic community and companies. Optical wireless communication (OWC) consisting of Visible Light Communication (VLC), infrared (IR), Optical Camera Communication (OCC) and Light Fidelity (LiFi) along with the conventional Radio Frequency (RF) wireless communication are suitable technologies to be used for hybrid Wireless Integrated Medical Assistance Systems (WIMAS). The WIMAS addressed in this paper consists of two Wireless Medical Body Area Networks (WMBAN) (an insulin wearable kit and an ECG test device with VLC/OCC are considered) and an Emergency Remote Medical Assistance (ERMA) with LiFi technology embedded. Using RF in medical facilities is subject of strict regulations due to interferences with other RF medical devices, negative effects on human health and lack of security. VLC and OCC are suitable to be embedded in MDs in order to be used by the patients with wearable WMBAN. Research on IR transdermal communication for implantable MDs has also been demonstrated as feasible and both VLC and OCC have promising future, as well. On the other hand, LiFi technology, recently deployed on the market, is mature enough to be integrated in the ERMA system addressed here.

The hazardous environments such as underground spaces (coal, salt, minerals mines), research laboratory or test centers are dangerous to work in, especially because of air quality, small and difficult to access spaces and in some cases highly explosion hazard due to instant events such as combination of explosive gases or substances. Environmental data acquisition and wireless communication prior to human access in these spaces or sometimes instead of human access, is life savings. The system we propose is low cost, handy, a real time data acquisition and duplex wireless data communication. The first module is mobile data acquisition robot equipped with camera and a network of sensors. It is remotely handled by a person’s hand equipped with the second module that consists of a gyroscope and accelerometer sending movements data and receiving video streaming related to space and environmental acquired data.
