Problem: To develop high performance washing concept, while being simple and environmentally friendly. The concept is to be used as a base for more detailed design of a mobile waste bin washing machine where the driving force is the demand for cleaner working environment. Method: The market is researched in order to evaluate the competition as well as to get a deeper knowledge of the problem at ha
L2 motivation research has a longstanding monolingual bias. Recently, however, the motivational systems of a multilingual’s different languages have been conceptualized as constituting a multilingual motivational system, and it has been suggested that interactions between the ideal Lx self and the ideal Ly self can lead to the emergence of an ideal multilingual self. While the notion of an ideal m
The main aims of this work were: 1) to increase the understanding of the segregation process that occurs during a segregation test that follows the ASTM sifting segregation procedure, and 2) to understand the effect of powder load, fines mass fraction and particle diameter ratio on the segregation of ideal blends. Binary blends of microcrystalline cellulose particles (mean diameter ranging from 16
In this paper. we present an analysis of different channel estimator structures that can be used and efficiently implemented with minor configuration changes of a common hardware for both LTE and DVB-H Such common estimator structures for LTE and DVB-H allow algorithm and hardware reuse when both standards are implemented on the same platform. In this approach, a core estimator will be utilized to
The attractiveness of cycling-and in particular of bike-sharing systems-as a sustainable alternative of transportation is constantly growing, given the undeniable benefits associated with it. The aim of this paper is to present a multi-objective model based on a Fuzzy Inference System to be embedded in a mobile application that could assist cyclists in the selection of the smartest route to follow
Resource utilization is a very central issue in the development of large-volume embedded systems. Increasingly complex execution platforms for embedded multimedia systems challenge the prevailing approach of achieving high utilization by carefully tuned implementations in C and assembly language. The recently started ACTORS project addresses resource utilization by providing appropriate high-level
Caches today are an important part of mitigating the performance gap between processors and memory which has increased during the last 50 years. Cache policies are vital for the performance of caches and their mission is to select the data which should be contained in the cache and are therefore important for the performance of processors. Graphics processors are very memory bandwidth intensive an
Docking of mobile robots requires precise position measurements in relation to the docking platform to accomplish the task successfully. Besides, the pose estimation of the robot with the sensors in an indoor environment should be accurate enough for localization and navigation toward the docking platform. However, the sensor measurements are entitled to disturbances and measurement uncertainties.
At midday, surface temperatures in the desert often exceed 60°C. To be active at this time, animals need extraordinary behavioural or physiological adaptations. Desert ants, for instance, spend up to 75% of their foraging time cooling down on elevated thermal refuges such as grass stalks [1]. Ball-rolling dung beetles work under similar thermal conditions in South African savannahs. After landing
The mobile phone is one of the most widespread devices with rendering capabilities. Those capabilities have been very limited because the resources on such devices are extremely scarce; small amounts of memory, little bandwidth, little chip area dedicated for special purposes, and limited power consumption. The small display resolutions present a further challenge; the angle subtended by a pixel i
The Mobile Service Support system (MSS), which Ericsson AB develops, handles the setup of new subscribers and services into a mobile network. Experience from deployed systems show that traffic monitoring and control of the system will be crucial for handling overload situations that may occur at sudden traffic surges. In this paper we identify and explore some important control challenges for this
In order for manufacturing companies to remain competitive while also offering a high degree of customization for the customers, flexible robots that can be rapidly reprogrammed to new tasks need to be applied in the factories. In this paper we propose a method for the intuitive programming of an industrial mobile robot by combining robot skills, a graphical user interface and human gesture recogn
A real time visualisation method, to be used in mobile gamma-spectrometric search operations using standard detector systems is presented. The new method, called deviation display, uses a modified waterfall display to present relative changes in spectral data over energy and time. Using unshielded (137)Cs and (241)Am point sources and different natural background environments, the behaviour of the
As mobile map services are becoming increasingly popular, it is important to use a cartography that can provide good readability in reduced formats. The amount of information presented in a map is important for understandability and is thus an essential aspect of map usability. In addition, the limited memory capacities of many mobile devices make it necessary that only the most important informat
Despite the clear restrictive guidelines about the use of modern handheld devices among children younger than 2 years, parents are seen to extensively use these devices with their infants. However, parents’ perceptions in this regard remain unclear and underexplored especially, in the context of South Asian cultures such as Pakistan. This qualitative study aims to explore parents’ perceptions rega
PURPOSE: This study describes the effects of a mobile geriatric acute team (GAT) treating acutely ill geriatric patients in their homes. GAT offered more advanced diagnostic and treatment options than are normally available to primary-care led mobile teams. The aim of this study was to evaluate if interventions by GAT had effect on the number of emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalisations,
