Background This thesis was initiated to meet the needs of Alfdex, a truck component manufacturer, to investigate the company’s possibility for expansion onto the US aftermarket. To this end the market and the company are to be examined and analysed to give the foundation for making this strategic decision. Purpose To explore the aftermarket of a product and to use this to construct an aftermarket
Denna uppsats behandlar de konkurrensrättsliga skillnaderna i EU-rätt och amerikans rätt rörande patentpooler. Genom patentpooler ges företag möjlighet att gemensamt samla sina patent inom ett visst tekniskt område och tillsammans licensera dem. Genom poolning av patent ökar möjligheterna för snabb utveckling samtidigt som licenskostnaderna minskar då samtliga nödvändiga patent blir tillgängliga gThis thesis identifies the differences in the antitrust regulations concerning patent pooling within the EU and the U.S. Patent pooling enables firms to jointly licence their patents as a package, gathering patents that are necessary in order to produce a certain product. Patent pooling allows faster development at lower costs, since firms can attain all necessary patents through one single licens
Background:The case company Atlas Copco has a decentralized organisation where the product responsibility has been delegated to the Product Line Manager located at the production facility. To manage the product portfolio and make strategic and tactical business decisions related to the products, information about product performance and profitability is a key input. Today, the Product Line Manager
The internship is dedicated to the modeling of RF and electrical performances of a 250 W Ka traveling- wave tube, using computation codes developed internally. The objective was to compare simulations and measurements in order to design a 5-stages collector. The modeling of the interaction wave -beam (RF model) is discussed in the first part. Simulations are done with the internal code MVTRAD. In p
In recent years, the market for mobile applications has continuously grown in size, and appears to continue to grow. This means greater competition among app developing companies as the users expect applications with high usability and a great user experience. To assess these properties the companies can perform usability evaluations. However, practicing traditional usability evaluation methods ca
Klorerade kolväten har använts inom diverse svenska industrier under framförallt 1900-talet. De främsta användningsområdena har varit som lösningsmedel inom verkstadsindustrin och som tvättvätska i kemtvättar. Några av de vanligaste lösningsmedlen är tetrakloreten (PCE) och trikloreten (TCE). De flesta klorerade kolväten är intermediärt vattenlösliga och har högre densitet än vatten vilket benämnsChlorinated hydrocarbons have been used in various Swedish industries, mainly during the 1900s. The main uses have been as solvents in the manufacturing industry and as washing liquid in dry cleaners. Some of the common chlorinated solvents are tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE). Most of the chlorinated hydrocarbons are somewhat insoluble in water and the density is higher than wate
This thesis work is a study and parameter optimization of a Raman system designed for explosives detection. The system, HLIN1, is a state-of-the-art prototype developed at the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI). To achieve the highest possible detection efficiency of different amounts of explosives placed upon different background materials, it is investigated how various system parameters affe
This study examines Nestlé and their CSR engagement from an environmental aspect, focusing on deforestation and their use of palm oil. Being the world’s largest producer of food and beverages they are a target for public scrutiny when engaging in CSR initiatives. Using Archie B. Carroll’s pyramid of CSR and Lyon & Maxwell’s theory of corporate environmentalism will localise the predominant fac
This thesis investigates a possible extension to the Standard Model: the Chirally Symmetric Technicolor Model. The motivation is to explain the origin of the electroweak interaction scale by introducing a new interaction. The thesis is based on the two-flavour Technicolor model presented in ”Chiral-Symmetric Technicolor with Standard Model Higgs boson” by Pasechnik et. al. [1], and extends it to t
This ethnographic study investigates the functions of BestFighter Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts training camp in Koh Samui, Thailand, as a successful actor in a booming self-improvement economy. In this thesis I explore the entanglements with locality and power which enable what satisfied participants refer to as augmented experiences of self-improvement. Combining theoretical concepts such as
The aim of this thesis is to provide useful framework for the design of the upcoming electric race car of Lund Formula Student Team. The thesis intends to find the different powertrain concepts on the state of the art. From the configurations, the thesis should provide outcomes of the performance, efficiency, complexity design and cost. Furthermore, the best concept should be find and a simple pre
Attitude polarisation is a frequently discussed topic in relation to social media. As previous research has found indication that the absence of face-to-face contact increases attitude polarisation tendencies – through changing peoples’ private and public self-awareness. The present study aims at investigating whether a photographed face could produce a similar result. The study sampled 226 partic
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Sweden. To be able to treat the disease it is important that it is detected at an early stage. In Sweden, women between 40 and 74 years are regularly offered screening with mammography to detect abnormalities in their breasts. The mammograms give the radiologist a good image of the breasts’ appearances, but it is difficult to detect structures
A novel material composition has been investigated in terms of thermal, mechanical, economical and sustainable aspects to be compared to neoprene wetsuits. It is believed that a sandwich structure produced by a dipping method with rubber layers containing an insulating textile can insulate better than foamed neoprene. The hypothesis is also that this sandwich structure can increase durability and
