The evaluations of both strategies are developed through applications in 8 ISCAS circuits. The results show comparisons in percentage changes in the variances of delay time and power consumption on each circuit because of applying these two strategies. In this article, the results are presented in full form for all tested circuits. One of the strategies is called ONE TRACK and the other TRACKING. The first uses the LaGrange method with Karush Kuhn Tucker's theorem and the second develops a progressive resizing, increasing the width of the critical gates in discrete steps of constant value as far as restrictions allow. During the application of the procedure, the total state of the circuit is evaluated in each step. In both strategies, the variance of the delay time is optimized with restriction of the area used and the power consumed is calculated. The results are presented in tabular and graphical form. Finally, conclusions and observations from the study are issued. The codes are implemented in C++ and it is used a 65 nm technology.

The Degem System EB-109 experimentation module (includes DC motor and six-pole pair synchronous motor), Tektronix TDS 2012 oscilloscope, Fluke 175 multimeter and a simulation environment for block diagrams with Simulink software were used. The procedure began by making voltage and current measurements in the armature of the DC motor in order to calculate its mechanical-electrical constants and obtain its mathematical model. Then, using block diagrams, a closed-loop control system was designed for the DC motor, using the PID as a control block in a first phase, and then in a second phase, the modified PID. The system was analyzed with simulation software and the results of both phases were compared. With the modified PID controller, a better speed and stability response time was obtained, thus eliminating transient peaks.

For this purpose, we will use the concept called: Health Index, which consists of the combination of the relevant data obtained from the analysis of samples of the transformer insulation system and with the support of fuzzy logic using the software tool tool. Matlab, we will find a numerical value, which reflects the current health status of the transformer. The basic concepts of the fuzzy logic associated with the Health Index, the revision of the regulations in force, as well as the method of calculation are explained in a summarized form. For the application of the proposed method, we have considered real data from ten transformers that are currently working in the Cobriza mine, whose results are consistent with other similar works in this regard; In addition, an interface is designed to facilitate the application of the proposed method.
