Power Transformers are essential components of electrical power grids. The useful life of a power transformer is effectively determined by the state of its insulation system. The insulation system deterioration is directly correlated to the temperature at which it is operated. Maintaining the temperature of power transformers within an optimalRead More →
CircuitLab provides online, in-browser tools for schematic capture and circuit simulation. These tools allow students, hobbyists, and professional engineers to design and analyze analog and digital systems before ever building a prototype. Online schematic capture lets hobbyists easily share and discuss their designs, while online circuit simulation allows for quickRead More →
Table is a general abstraction of a Table object for the .NET environment. Table is a simple project I created to be used as part of larger projects. It allows you to quickly add an abstraction to use data tables and related functionality. How to use Table Check the GitHubRead More →
When talking about his work, Steve Jobs often cited the quote “good artists copy, great artists steal” which he attributed to Pablo Picasso. This rings particularly true for an open-source project like myActivo. I could not have put this piece of software together if I was not relying on otherRead More →
According to Wikipedia, Software Architecture: … refers to the fundamental structures of a software system and the discipline of creating such structures and systems. Each structure comprises software elements, relations among them, and properties of both elements and relations. WIkipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_architecture I heard on a podcast sometime ago that softwareRead More →
In my previous post I discussed the core concepts behind Digital Asset Management. In the context of that definition, in this article I document how these concepts translate to the requirements and features that myActivo will implement. I will then build the implementation plan on GitHub projects so the roadmapRead More →
So, what is Digital Asset Management? If you search the term “Digital Asset Management” on Google, the most likely set of results will relate to the management of digital assets, such as software, audio, graphics, photos, documents, etc. Well, this is not what I mean by Digital Asset Management inRead More →
myActivo is an open-source software platform that reimagines what the management of physical assets in the digital era can be. Starting with no assumptions about what is possible, myActivo embodies and experiments with the ideas behind the concept of Digital Asset Management. What if instead of progressively adopting digital technologiesRead More →
