    Aproveitamento de Água Pluvial para Fins Não Potáveis em Edificações Residenciais: Caso de Estudo em Rio Branco/AC
    (Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014) CRUZ, Wilians Montefusco da; BLANCO, Cláudio José Cavalcante
    The problems of water scarcity and pollution of water sources, associated with population growth, industrialization, and urbanization, suggest the search for alternatives to ensure sufficient quality and quantity of water supply. Rainwater harvesting emerges as an efficient alternative for non-potable uses, such as laundry, sidewalks, cars, toilet flushing, and garden irrigation. This study analyzes the financial and environmental feasibility of installing a rainwater harvesting system in a residential unit in the city of Rio Branco. Economic feasibility was verified by the return on investment time, which is 25.7 years, making the installation financially unfeasible, despite providing a monthly reduction of approximately 30% in potable water consumption. However, the system is environmentally viable, providing a saving of 6.45 m³ of treated water monthly.

    OTIMIZAÇÃO DO TEMPO DE TESTE FUNCIONAL DE PLACA DE CIRCUITO IMPRESSO MONTADA PARA COMPUTADOR PESSOAL
    (Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) OLIVEIRA, Edson Farias de; BLANCO, Cláudio José Cavalcante
    The increasing competitiveness among companies in the same sector has made continuous process optimization essential to reduce costs. This study evaluates the time involved in the functional testing phase of motherboards produced in the Industrial Pole of Manaus and proposes improvements for optimization. A system for image capture was developed to analyze idle times, along with test devices and a proprietary Linux-based test system, replacing the previous system that depended on foreign suppliers. Percentage gains were demonstrated through four optimization proposals: unifying tests, performing simultaneous tests on two boards, replacing the test system, and automating the test device. The results obtained after implementing these improvements were positive, reinforcing the importance of applying scientific methodologies combined with innovation to optimize production processes.
