Konstruktion av förstärkare och insamplingssteg till en PSAADC i 0.25 um CMOS
The aim and goal of this work has been to design and implement a voltage reference network for a 12-bit PSAADC, Parallell Successive Analog to Digital Converter. A chip containing the design has been sent away for fabrication. Because of the long processing time, no measurement data are presented. The main specifications for the voltage reference generator is to generate stable reference voltages with low noise and a good PSRR. Efforts has also been made to minimize the power consumption..
Luftläckage I Småhus : Hur de upptäcks och attityderna till dem
Air tightness in new buildings has been discussed for several decades. But the knowledge in the subject is low. With tougher requirements from the Swedish government about energy consumption for a new building required competences how these shall be met. It's not only the thick mess of insulation that are important, it's also the air tightness. This report is about air leakage in Swedish houses.
Kulturers påverkan på ledarskap i multinationella företags dotterbolag
Betydelsen av kulturer har ökat till följd av globaliseringen och uppkomsten av multinationella företag. En intressant aspekt är därför att undersöka huruvida det är nationell kultur eller organisationskultur som präglar ledarskapet i ett utländskt dotterbolag vars kultur är vitt skild från moderbolagets. Därför ämnar denna studie att undersöka vad som influerat utformningen av ledarskapet på det svenska multinationella företaget Perten Instruments dotterbolag i Kina. Detta genom att se om ledarskapet speglar landets egna nationella kultur eller om det har influerats av företagets organisationskultur och därmed mer stämmer överens med den svenska kulturen. Studien utfördes genom intervjuer med anställda på moderbolaget i Sverige och dotterbolaget i Kina.
Vätskekopplade värme- och kylåtervinningssystem Utveckling av ett verktyg för energiberäkningar
According to a decision of the European Commission, measures are to be taken to reduce the use of energy in the EU. The goal is to reduce it by 20 % compared to the current use. This shall be done to the year 2020 (European Commission, 2011). One industry that use large amounts of energy is the construction of buildings which account for almost a third of the energy use (Brogren, 2012). The major part of the energy that is used in the construction industry is not used when the buildings are built, but rather during the rest of their subsequent lifetime.
Uppgradering av automatisk teststation
The climate changes that are occuring in the world have resulted in that the EU callingfor a 20 % reduction in energy consumption to the year 2020, to reach that goal theEU want the public sector to go forth as a good example. Västfastigheter owns andmanage the hospital buildings in the Västra Götaland region. To be able to reducetheir energy usage Västfastigheter has hired several consulting firms to chart out theenergy consumption on each hospital building. The biggest energy savings potentialhave been calculated and what the cost will be to perform each action. The energyaudit have been completed and stand as the decision basis for Västfastigheter?s choiceon which action packages that should be implemented.
Transfetter från idisslare - och dess inverkan på blodlipidprofilen hos friska män och kvinnor
Sahlgrenska Academyat University of GothenburgDepartment of Internal Medicine and Clinical NutritionAbstractTitle: Trans fatty acids from ruminants - and its effect on blood lipidprofile in healthy men and womenAuthor: Sophie Berg and Sara KarlssonSupervisor: Henriette PhilipsonExaminer: Anna WinkvistProgramme: Dietician study programme, 180/240 ECTSType of paper: Examination paper, 15 hpDate: May 23, 2012BackgroundCardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in Sweden. It is well known that thereis a link between high consumption of industrial trans fatty acids and cardiovascular disease, buthow natural trans fatty acids affect us remains uncertain.ObjectiveThe purpose of this article is to, based on the currently available scientific evidence, concludewhether an intake of trans fatty acids from ruminants generates an effect on the bloodlipid profile of healthy men and women.Search strategyRCT articles were obtained through searches in databases such as PubMed, The CochraneLibrary, and Scopus. Keywords used were "ruminants" AND "Cholesterol" AND "Trans FattyAcids" and "ruminants" AND "Blood Lipids" AND "Trans Fatty Acids".Selection criteriaInclusion criteria were RCT studies conducted on healthy people who did not receive medicationfor hyperlipidemia. Moreover, the results were to be based on fasting blood samples, where atleast ten hours of fasting preceded the analysis of the blood lipids.Data collection and analysisThe search generated eight studies. These were graded according to SBU:s Granskningsmall förrandomiserad kontrollerad prövning, after which four studies were selected.
När kan Flow upplevas på arbetsplatsen?
Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka relevansen i tre olika teorier som förklarar hur Flow kan upplevas på en arbetsplats. Teorierna är skapade efter forskning från Csikzentmihaly, Hofstede samt Maslow. Undersökningen har skett på två olika arbetsplatser inom två olika yrkesgrenar för att finna om eventuella skillnader mellan dessa två arbetskontext kan påverka upplevelsen av Flow. Det ena företaget kategoriseras som en affärsmiljö och det andra företaget rubriceras som en kontorsmiljö. Tre hypoteser skapades som var för sig testade de tre teoriernas effekt på Flow.

Utvärdering av ett system för Rapid Control Prototyping inom området robotstyrning
In this report a system for Rapid Control Prototyping, RCP, is evaluated through animplementation of the motor control methods Field Oriented Control, FOC, and Space VectorPulse Width Modulation, SVPWM. The evaluation emphasizes on time-consumption andresource utilization on the used hardware and on usability for of software.A new mechatronic laboratory is under development at ABB Corporate Research in Västerås. Itwill be used for both mechanical and motion control design using existing and new hardware.The control structure in a traditional robot system will be interfaced to a rapid prototypingsystem which should allow easy changes to algorithms at different levels in the system.The system designated for this project comes from National Instruments and constitutesLabVIEW Real-time and FPGA module as the software tools. The hardware is a NI Single-Board RIO (Reconfigurable Input Output), sbRIO, development board including a Field-Programmable Gate Array, FPGA, from Xilinx and a microprocessor from FreescaleSemiconductor. Graphical programming is performed in the LabVIEW environment, andthrough Xilinx tools the LabVIEW FPGA code is compiled to VHDL code.A pre-study was carried out to clarify the concept of RCP and investigate different systems forRCP and their traits.
Doseringsutrustningen SafeBond Electronic
This thesis for the Master of Science degree was performed at Oppunda Electronics AB. The assignment was to further develop an existing prototype of a dispensing equipment. The dispensing equipment doses a kind of glue, bonding which dentist use to mend teeth. The dispensing equipment is adjusted to dose 12 micro litres of bonding. With the dispensing equipment SafeBond Electronic the user can reduce the bonding consumption with approximately 50 percent.

En undersökning kring föräldraengagemang
Kultur differentierar samhällen världen över och skillnader kan orsaka problem för företagare som saknar kunskap eller underskattar dessa skillnaders betydelse. Den holländske forskaren Geert Hofstede har under mer än 40 år bedrivit forskning om kulturskillnader och placerat samt värderat ett stort antal länder i olika dimensioner vilka i uppsatsen utgörs av Osäkerhetsundvikande, Individualism, Maktdistans och Maskulinitet. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur fem svenska företag upplever och hanterar kulturskillnader mellan Sverige och Mexiko utifrån Hofstedes fyra dimensioner av nationell kultur. För att kunna genomföra denna studie har frågor kopplade till nationell kultur baserade på Hofstedes dimensioner använts och personer på fem svenska företag har intervjuats. Resultatet visar att det tydligt finns skillnader i nationell kultur mellan Sverige och Mexiko.
