ABSTRACT: Mobile-learning establishes a new frontier for research of e-learning in electrical and electronic measurement and instrumentation.
Indeed, the reduced functionalities of the mobile devices must be integrated with the typologies of the services delivered
to the student. By referring to the Remote Didactic Laboratory Laboratorio Didattico Remoto – LA.DI.RE. “G. Savastano” the
delivered services taken into account are experiment visualization, experiment control, and experiment creation. In order
to enable the user of the mobile device to view, control, and create the experiment application, several software architectures
have been considered. Finally, the description of the proposed solution is given in the framework of the LA.DI.RE. “G. Savastano”.

ABSTRACT: The Remote Didactic Laboratory Laboratorio Didattico Remoto– LA.DI.RE. “G. Savastano” is an e-learning measurement laboratory supported by the Italian Ministry of University. It provides
the students of electric and electronic measurement courses at the technical university with access to remote measurement
laboratories, delivering different teaching activities related to measurement experiments. The core of the software architecture
is the integration of the learning management system (LMS) with the remotely accessible measurement laboratories through web
services and thin client paradigm, providing a new approach to remote experiments on measurement instrumentation. The chapter
highlights the recent progresses in the last 2 years of the LA.DI.RE. “G. Savastano” project. In particular, the aspects taken
into account concern (i) the availability of teaching experiments to cover different topics and aspects of the teaching program
of instrumentation and measurement at the technical university, by taking into account the different countries and languages
of the students, (ii) the reality of the experimental activity environment, by realizing a system for the real-time visualization
of the instruments with the capability of adjusting the video-stream characteristics to the client bandwidth, and (iii) the
quality assessment of the educational activities to the students.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports the first results of an experimental comparison of the test procedures described in the IEC and IEEE standards for the measurement of the analog-digital converter (ADC) dynamic performance in the frequency domain. The comparison has been carried out by setting up the standard test benches and applying the standard test procedures for measuring the spurious free dynamic range (SFDR), total harmonic distortion (THD), signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SINAD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and effective number of bits (ENOBs) of the three actual ADCs. The achieved results show a good degree of harmonization, even if the procedures and formulas are different.

ABSTRACT: In this paper the need for standardized calibration procedures for automated non-invasive measurement of blood pressure is highlighted. In particular, the IEC 60601-2-30, the EN 1060 and the ANSI/AAMISP-10 are described. A critical overview of the existing standards and protocols dealing with the calibration of these devices is provided focusing on the device specifications and the test methods, including the most used clinical protocols like the British Hypertension Society one. The analysis of the reported references put in evidence the need for a clear and unique set of definitions and objective methods for calibrating blood pressure measuring devices. The IEEE PI 721 project for a new standard on Objective Measurement of Systemic Arterial Blood Pressure in Humans started recently with such purposes.

The overview of this paper is on the different solutions concerning the thin client technology, and the solution implemented is described. This solution takes into account the delivered services to students and teachers and permits optimization of the communication performances. The results of the comparison among the performances of different implementations of the thin client paradigm highlight the advantages of the adopted solution. As a consequence, the description of the thin client protocol implemented, together with the presentation of the LMS and delivered services given in a previous paper, makes an exhaustive analysis of the software architecture of the LA.DI.RE. “G. Savastano.”

ABSTRACT: E-learning is considered a high impact service for employer training as well as for supporting regular teaching in high schools and Universities. Currently, the distance learning methodologies included in the term eLearning rely on the Internet potentialities to supply synchronous and asynchronous didactics to the users, that can access to the contents whenever and wherever there is an Internet connection. In this framework the remote laboratory distributed on geographical network LA.DI.RE. "G. Savastano" of University of Sannio [1] was born, with the aim of developing a virtual learning environment to deliver, through the distance learning methodologies, theoretical lessons and the possibility to use real remote laboratories, too. The paper presents a detailed evaluation concerning the quality of system and of the provided services of LA.DI.RE. "G. Savastano", analyzing the user accesses information and the level of user satisfaction concerning the available contents, the usability of the didactic contents, both theoretical and practical, showing significant statistical results.

ABSTRACT: In the framework of the project FIRB 2001 the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) has supported the research project RBAUOIZMZ5 aimed to produce a tomography system able to acquire 3D images of cells in laminar flow. The innovative aspects of the new image flow cytometer (IFC) designed and prototyped under this project regard to both the hardware and the software architecture. In particular, it is able to automatically identify micronuclei on the acquired images of flowing lymphocytes. Therefore, the new IFC overcomes the characteristics of the conventional ones. The paper focuses on the software innovations regarding to (i) the digital signal processing procedure, (ii) the optimized methodology for classifying the different cell types, (iii) the programmable gain of each input channel, and (iv) the image preprocessing to detect the micronucleus in the acquired image of the human lymphocytes. In order to highlight the improved performance of the IFC software architecture, results of preliminary experimental tests are shown

ABSTRACT: Today, most of the signal processing performed in electronic systems is digital, and the performance of the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) present at the borders of the digital domain become very important. The most recent applications in telecommunication, measurement, and consumer electronics call for ever-increasing ADC resolution and speed. The uncertainty of ADC performance strongly affects overall system accuracy. Both manufacturers and system integrators are intensely concerned with ADC performance.

ABSTRACT: Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are critical components of signal-processing systems. ADC errors can compromise the overall accuracy and the effectiveness of the whole system. This leads researchers to direct increasing attention to error correction topics. In this paper, some ADC error compensation methods are briefly introduced according to a classification criterion based on the main research trends.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a measurement method set up to quickly evaluate the quality of the universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) mobile communications. The method is based on the use of a time-frequency representation of the UMTS QPSK modulated signal, suitably down-converted and digitized. Starting from the method, a virtual instrument has been developed and tested on the first Italian UMTS experimental network supplied by Ericsson to TIM on the premises of the Centro Studi e Laboratori Telecomunicazioni (CSELT), Torino, Italy. The results of the field measurement campaign, carried out in order to evaluate the capabilities of this new communication system, have also been used to evaluate the method capability in confirming the results of complex and expensive test benches.
