Abstract(s)
A atual crise económica de abrandamento e recessão leva a que várias empresas estejam a sentir elevadas quebras no seu volume de negócios e de produção. Deste modo a inovação e a diferenciação assumem um papel de relevo nas empresas especialmente em tempos de crise.
Tradicionalmente, as empresas especializadas em reparações de parapentes utilizam meios meramente visuais para avaliar o estado do cone de suspensão dos parapentes1
Embora o parapente seja considerado um desporto seguro, existem alguns riscos associados a esta prática desportiva. O estado do material utilizado assume um papel preponderante no que diz respeito à segurança. Dependendo da sua composição, os cordões apresentam diferentes características e comportamentos: enquanto uns apresentam maior estabilidade a nível dimensional e menor flexibilidade, outros apresentam menor estabilidade dimensional e maior flexibilidade. Contudo, com o tempo e os esforços a que são sujeitos, todos vão sofrendo desgaste, provocando variações ao nível da sua dimensão e perdendo resistência. [25] . Este tipo de inspeções é pouco fiável e coloca em causa a segurança do piloto.
É, neste contexto, que aqui é proposto um novo método de avaliação do cone de suspensão. Para isso, foi desenvolvido um protótipo, designado por sistema de testes para cone de suspensão de parapente que permite analisar uma amostra de cordões e desta forma avaliar o seu estado atual. Este tipo de testes possibilita ao utilizador aferir do estado da asa e daí decidir qual a melhor forma de reparar/aumentar a segurança da asa.

Abstract: The current economic slowdown conjecture leads to recession and many companies are experiencing high losses in its turnover and production. This way, the innovation and differentiation are an important role in business especially in times of crisis. Traditionally, companies that specialize in repairs of paragliders using only visual means to assess the state of the cone suspension of paragliders2 Although the glider is considered a safe sport, there are some risks associated with this sport. The state of the material takes a leading role with regard to safety. Depending on its composition, the strings have different characteristics and behaviors: while some have more stable and less dimensional flexibility, others are less dimensional stability and flexibility. However, with time and effort that they are subject, everyone will suffer wear and tear, including changes in terms of size and losing strength. [25] . Such inspections are unreliable and jeopardize the safety of the pilot. It is in this context that we propose here a new method for evaluating the cone suspension. For this, we developed a prototype, called the testing system for rear suspension that allows the glider to analyze a sample of cord and thus assess its current state. This type of testing allows the user to gauge the state of the wing and then decide the best way to fix / enhance the security of the wing 2 - Set of lines that support the weight of the pilot
