AGRADECIMENTOSAgradeço de todo o meu coração, a Deus em primeiro lugar. Também quero agradecer aos meus pais, pois sem eles eu não estaria aqui, em todos os aspectos.Quero agradecer ao prof. Dr. Eduardo Mário Dias que me aceitou com o seu orientado e que me ofereceu a possibilidade de estudar nesta escola tão importante que é a Escola Politécnica da USP, sinceramente, o meu eterno muito obrigado. Several tests were performed, such as, software control table test, and even in a real plant for control software validation in a real operation. With the tests results were obtained quite a few response curves at time, which allow the evaluation of the controller and of the control software. After the tests executions and the verifying of the behavior obtained by the curves, it was stated the compatibility of the built software with the IEC 61131-7 standard, admitting it to be used in other applications.

Soybean production has expanded intensively in South America over the last decades. As the second leading worldwide soybean producer, Brazil has in prospect to increase market share through production growth in soybean areas. Therefore, soybean fields ought to encompass a sizeable region among different types of soil and climate conditions, and so advanced irrigation methods should be advantageous. This present work aims to optimize soybean production through an irrigation system control based on environmental and plant requirements. It was developed an embedded fuzzy controller that is able to process soil moisture, air moisture, temperature, soil type and soybean growth stages and it returns the ideal amount of water. Also, to accomplish the data acquisition, a multiparameter sensor device establishes remote connection and provides continuous in-field measurement. The efficiency of the fuzzy controller and the monitoring unit was verified through simulations, and so, results reached the expected model.

This article regards over analytics of reliability of ventricular assist devices (VAD) used as therapy for advanced heart failure conditions in the face of malfunction related adverse events. This question directs research and the search for a solution proposal, even if prospective, but that promotes the longevity of these devices, increasing the intrinsic reliability. An "In Vitro" test bench is used to obtain variations of dynamic behavior over time; by means of a set of variables and the deviations (failures) compared between the standard and tested devices; since these devices are systems that vary in time. An intelligent systematics obtained through the automation of the test bench, using sensors and actuators to control the independent variables, and the data collection and analysis using the technologies present in the industry 4.0 completes the increase of the reliability of the VAD.
