Abstract:

Robotics is an emerging field, and it is also affecting several other fields. Design of robotic platforms gains more importance since the focus and aim of the robotics research broadens widely and the variety of the users is significant. This work aims to present the design of a modular mobile robotic platform, which should be simple, easy to build and easy to use. The concept of modularity, usage of off-the shelf components and utilizing a PC platform, are addressed in this work. As a result of this work, a conceptual design is presented, and a prototype is built to highlight some important a

<p>Many challenges arises when it comes to the selection of Off-The-Shelf (OTS) software components to use in software development. To make the selection process easier, other users experience on working out similar tasks could be of great value. Such experience data concerning the selection, the use, and the integration of a component is rarely available. In this Master thesis we describe the implementation of OTS-Wiki, which is a wiki based portal with community driven content.

Abstract:

The safety concern of aging aircraft is a rising issue in terms of both safety and cost. An aircraft structure failure during flight is unacceptable. A method needs to be developed and standardized to test the integrity of both commercial and military aircrafts. The current method to test the structure of an aircraft requires the aircraft to be taken out of service for inspection; this is costly due to the inspection required to be performed and the lost use from downtime. A novice idea of an on-site structural health monitoring (SHM) system has been proposed to test the integrity of aircr

Abstract:

Little has been published about the shelf circulation off the coast of Nigeria. Due to increased activity and associated incidents in the shallow waters offshore Nigeria, there is a need to more clearly define the near-shore circulation patterns. An oil spill occurred in January of 1998, the slick drifted in the opposite direction at twice the speed as was anticipated. It was believed that the heavy discharge from the Niger River Delta would have a strong influence on the near-shore circulation patterns and was the reason for this unexpected drift.

Abstract:

Vid implementering av realtidsapplikationer krävs det att man kan använda hårdvaran på ett deterministiskt vis. En realtidsapplikation ställer stora krav på körtider och hur applikationen schemaläggs. Det är därför av största vikt att kontrollera om de uppfyller dessa krav. I detta examensarbete har tre system för realtidsapplikationer jämförts och en analys av framförallt sina beräkningsförmågor och hur pass deterministiskt de uppför sig gällande körtider har gjorts. Även andra aspekter så som utvecklingsmiljöer för mjukvara, tillbehör och effektförbrukning har jämförts.

The continued scaling of transistors has led to an exponential increase in on-chip power density, which has resulted in increasing temperature. In turn, the increase in temperature directly leads to the increase in the rate of wear of a processor.

NBTI manifests in the form of increased circuit delays which can lead to timing failures and processor crashes. The ability to monitor the wear progression of a processor due to NBTI is valu

Abstract:

This Master thesis project consists of the exploration and potentially the design and implementation of an Front-End Equipment (FEE) device based on the Beaglebone Black or similar single-board computers. During development and testing of a satellite system, FEE serves to adapt telemetry and telecommand data streams between a satellite and the ground- control system. At OHB Sweden there exist FEE solutions based on old Rabbit processor modules. The two main functions of an FEE device are to forward telemetry data from a satellite to the ground control, and forward telemetry commands from the g

Abstract:

<p>Robots are widely used in domestic and commercial applications. These applications typically involve robots built for a specific the task, thus leading to efficiency in task completion. However, with the increase in completion efficiency comes an increase in the time required for completion of the whole system. Specific tasks create the need for many different robots, all with differing capabilities, causing an increase in development cost and time needed.<p> This raises the issue of whether using an off the shelf system with minor modifications can accurately perform the same tasks.

Abstract:

The Atlantic Seaboard is an 18 km stretch of coastline located on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, roughly between the Cape Town suburbs of Mouille Point in the north and Hout Bay in the south. It borders heavy shipping traffic and contains a mix of urban and natural environments including up-market seaside neighbourhoods and is part of the Table Mountain National Park. The predominantly rocky coastline has a northeast–southwest orientation with interspersed sandy pocket beaches. A narrow, low-lying coastal plain (marine terrace) in the north merges with coastal cliffs further south. The geom

Abstract:

There is an acute clinical need for small-calibre (<6 mm) vascular grafts for surgery, but unlike their large counterparts they still fail in long-term clinical application. The failures of small diameter grafts are primarily due to the early formation of thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia. Dynamics of blood flow leading to wall shear rate and blood flow pattern and their effect on the endothelial cell proliferation along with other anomalies, have been identified as one of the major deciding factors for the efficiency of grafts. Research has showed that intimal hyperplasia and associated comp

Abstract:

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1998 / Town & Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California<br>Three-channel monopulse tracking receiver systems are commonly used for high performance tracking of satellites, missiles, or aircraft to maximize the reception of data. Typically, the receiver in such systems are custom designed for their end purpose. This results in a high cost to cover the development, service, and support of a highly specialized piece of equipment. This paper covers the requirements and performance of a 3-channel monopul
