In this paper, we present the first steps towards realizing a digital twin with integrated virtual laboratory possibilities, for a newly established Energy Analytics and Solution lab, using the Unity3D game development platform. The presented example is a case study that shows the possibilities of such development environment for creating a fully connectable digital twin of an energy analytics lab and other more complex industrial environments.
A three dimensional, additively manufactured interdigital capacitive sensor for fluid level measurement applications is introduced. The device was fabricated using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) additive manufacturing (AM) process and an off the shelf conductive filament with a volume resistivity ρ = 0.6 Ω cm. The 3D fabrication process allows great flexibility in terms of sensor ̇ design and an increase of the surface area between the electrodes, compensating the relatively large plate separation and yielding a high sensitivity to increasing fluid levels. The measurements presented in this abstract show the average increase of capacitance in response to an incrementally increasing volume of de-ionized water (DI-water) filled between the separate digits.
Abstract. The paper presents an initial study and basic research of the state of the art systems and solutions for the simulation of the thermoregulatory sweating conditions. The simulation of the thermoregulatory sweating conditions has been treated by many researchers, and has become over the years a major area of interest for many industries (e.g. textile, protective garments, aeronautics, automotive industries and sports). The objective of this paper is to reflect and analyse the existing literature, for this purpose. Three existing systems and two thermoregulatory models will be characterized and critically discussed. The findings support the methodology for future applied scientific research (PhD thesis), which will use existing scientific knowledge to develop a practical application using suitable technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
