With a growing trend of electrification of vehicles there is a need for more flexible and advantageous charging options that reduce EV limitations. To overcome these limitations, dynamic charge through Electric Road Systems (ERS) is in development, and fast charging stations are being deployed all over the world. This thesis focuses on combining the use of both technologies, attempting to use an E

We present new polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTAS) for several basic minimum-cost multi-connectivity problems in geometrical graphs. We focus on low connectivity requirements. Each of our schemes either signifi- cantly improves the previously known upper time-bound or is the first PTAS for the considered problem. We provide a randomized approximation scheme for finding a biconnected graph

Spontaneous activation of rhodopsin without light absorption occurs at a much lower rate in rod photoreceptors and insect rhabdoms than in cones. The difference lies in the pigment molecules themselves, and has implications for the design of visual photoreceptors.

We use Cholesky decomposition of the density matrix in atomic orbital basis to define a new set of occupied molecular orbital coefficients. Analysis of the resulting orbitals ("Cholesky molecular orbitals") demonstrates their localized character inherited from the sparsity of the density matrix. Comparison with the results of traditional iterative localization schemes shows minor differences with

We consider thermal fluid structure interaction to model industrial gas quenching in steel forging, where hot steel Is cooled using cold high pressured gas. This allows to define properties of the finished steel part, as for example yield strength, locally at low cost and without environmental problems. For the numerical simulation, a partitioned approach via a Dirichlet-Neumann coupling and a fix

The parallel structure of dataflow programs and their support for processing streams of data make dataflow programming an interesting tool for doing stream processing on parallel processing architectures. The computational kernels, the actors, of a dataflow program communicate with other actors via FIFO channels. The actors in the dataflow model used in this paper may perform different actions dep

The problem of reducing the number of multiplications in infinite response filtering is considered. We show how this operation may be decomposed on finite response filtrations and so-named halfconvolutions. Examples of the efficient procedures for filters of low order are presented.

We consider the capacity of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems with reduced complexity. One link end uses all available antennas, while the other chooses the "best" L out of N antennas. The selection of the optimum antenna subset requires an exhaustive search of all possible combinations, involving (/sub L//sup N/) computations of determinants of size L /spl times/ L, which can become p

Recently, optimal linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) filtering methods have been applied to fundamental frequency estimation. Such estimators often yield preferable performance but suffer from being computationally cumbersome as the resulting cost functions are multimodal with narrow peaks and require matrix inversions for each point in the search grid. In this paper, we therefore consid

In multiowner wireless networks, access points (APs) are owned and operated by different administrations, leading to significant authentication delays during handoff between APs. We propose to exploit the trust between the owners of neighboring APs for reducing the authentication delay. In the proposed authentication scheme, neighboring APs that trust each other share the security key for the visi

In this paper we present a novel 3D sensing approach for industrial bin-picking applications that is low-cost, fast and precise. The system uses a simple laser-line emitter. While a robot arm moves the object through the laser light, a synchronized camera captures the laser line image on the object. A full point cloud as well as an edge point cloud suitable for subsequent pose estimation is genera

Ad hoc networks, being able to organize themselves without user intervention, can easily provide their users with mobility, multimedia support and group communication. However, they have to combine quality of service (QoS) and multicast routing strategies. This article defines the resource management and admission control components of the ad hoc QoS multicast (AQM) routing protocol, which achieve

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad framgång är i dagens skandinaviska elitfotbollsklubbar och vilka strategier som är användbara för att uppnå denna. Uppsatsen ämnar således belysa och klargöra de viktigaste aspekterna i en lyckad strategi inom en modern skandinavisk fotbollsklubb. Med denna kunskap har vi för avsikt att återge en bild över hur en elitfotbollsklubb strategiskt bör organiser
