Föreliggande redogörelse avser en metod och en anordning för utvärdering av en bräda av trä med en ländriktning. Data som indikerar fiberorienteringen över brädans yta inhämtas och för ett antal underpartier hos brädan bestäms en nominell, lokal elasticitetsmodul, MOE, på basis av nämnda fiberorienteringsdata och en nominell materialparameter. En nominell global MOE i längdriktningen för träbrädan
Sphere decoders can approach the performance of maximum-likelihood (ML) decoders for MIMO systems with lower complexity. In this paper, VLSI architecture of the modified K-best Schnorr-Euchner (MKSE) sphere decoder is proposed for soft-output MIMO decoding. The MKSE decoder can achieve near-ML performance with higher decoding throughput and lower computational complexity. The proposed VLSI archite
It is well known that one of the major limitations to achieve good performance in mechanical systems is the presence of friction, which is a nonlinear phenomenon difficult to model. In a recent paper Canudas and co-workers proposed to represent it with a nonlinear dynamical model. The friction compensation problem with this model is stymied by the fact that the parameters are uncertain and some of

Efficient design of urban drainage systems is based on statistical analysis of past rainfall events at fine time scales. However, fine time scale rainfall data are usually lacking in many parts of the world. A possible way forward is to develop methods to derive fine time scale rain intensities from daily observations. This paper applied cascade-based disaggregation modeling for generation of fine
The protein biomarker vitellogenin in fish is discussed alongside alterative strategies for monitoring of endocrine disrupting chemicals. The first objective was to find a cheap, robust and generic method for the quantification of vitellogenin. A new sample preparation method was developed for the indirect quantification of vitellogenin through alkali-labile phosphate (ALP) with final analysis usi
Narrowband radio transmitters like radio amateurs and broadcast radio stations are considered to be a serious problem for high-bitrate data transmission over twisted pairs. Due to its high power level, radio frequency interference (RFI) has the potential of overloading the receiver's analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Once the ADC is in saturation, any countermeasure taken in the digital domain wi
In an industrial plant, availability is an important factor since increased availability often gives an increase of final production, which in many cases means an increased profit for the company. The purpose of using buffer tanks is to increase the availability either by separating production units from each other or by minimizing flow variations. However, the methods for achieving this goal is n
We approach the simultaneous localization and mapping problem by using an ultrasound sensor and wheel encoders on a mobile robot. The measurements are modeled to yield a conditionally linear model for all the map states. Moreover, we implement a Rao-Blackwellized particle smoother (RBPS) for jointly estimating the position of the robot and the map. The method is applied and successfully verified b
This doctoral thesis suggests a framework for how multi-organizational emergency response management can be understood. A method for collecting and analyzing data on individuals and their interactions has been developed and tested. The method is rooted in social network theory and facilitates further exploration of the complexity associated with responses to emergencies in which various resources
