The task of this master´s thesis is to write a theory of radiation sensing, describe the function of GPS and design the measuring system which can measure the radioactive background and these values assigned to the current GPS coordinates.

The work deals with the 32-bit microcontroller with AT91SAM7X256 ARM7 core. The overall purpose of the thesis is to use the microcontroller as a data logger in Orpheus robotic system. The main part of the work focuses on detailed description of the designed board, software and development environment. A comparison of different varieties of the microcontroller with this core is included.

This thesis is about construction of a monitoring unit for motor vehicles. The unit is equipped with microcontroller, graphical LCD for displaying all measured values, GPS module and SD card slot. For measuremet of motor RPM, various methods of connecting to the motor are supported. Temperature is measured with few DS18B20 sensors, picking up engine temp, outsider and inside temp. GPS module is for measuring speed and height above MSL. All measured values can be recorded on SD card for future analysis on PC.

The thesis deals with design of the device for monitoring four signals from the probes for scanning ECG, PPG and heart pressure. The thesis is mainly focused on hardware design of the device and the most important part is the selection of the storage media to which will be the data recorded and the selection of the microprocessor which has to be able to meet the requirements of the device. For the data recording is used SD card and the ARM based MCU was selected from the AT91SAM7S series. This thesis also deals with the software design for MCU which is needed to launch the device and with design of PC applications used for setting the device and for downloading the measured data. At the end there are presented results of the constructed device.

The aim is to comprehensively describe the problems of land consolidation plans and prepare budgets of joint facilities performed in a frame of the landscaping. For individual plans of common facilities, cards of budgetary indicators will be processed. Finally, we will evaluate the resulting processed budgets and budget indicators.

The subject of this diploma thesis is design of X-ray apparatus for medical intention – an angiographic set which consists of a C-Arm and an angiographic table. The elaboration deals particularly with an attractive organic design, that is aimed to have a positive psychological effect, and with an innovation in construction of apparatus in order to be as various-purpose as possible, to conform to the most exacting requirements and procedures, and to advance diagnostic possibilities in the given category. In the thesis diagnostic procedures, which along with technical and ergonomical factors influence the shape and also the total set conception, are considered. This thesis does not contain a separate display system which is not a part of project.

The introduction of digital tachographs has brought many changes compared to previously used analogue tachograph. Legislation addressing this issue is quite extensive and often amended. Ever-present threat of industrial equipment, which affect the observed, and the stored data has a negative impact on road safety. The aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive overview of legislation regulating the issue of digital tachographs in relation to the introduction and use of digital tachographs, with obligations to use a tachograph, tachograph functional requirements. Process further review of data on vehicle operation recorded with a digital tachograph and analyze their availability in terms of approval of the different actors (the driver, carrier, service, police, other supervisory authorities). Contribution of this work is the elaboration of recommendations for the expert's methodology in analyzing data from the digital tachograph.

This thesis describes the designing and development of electricity consumption meter. First of all, a theoretical basis necessary for understanding a physical principle of measured subject is introduced. In the next part a suitable way of measuring in context of embedded devices is being looked for. Some of peripheral devices useful for project are described briefly. Then follows the detailed description of concept, that in the following part transforms to hardware design. Next part documents creation of the fi rmware. By the end of this thesis the project testing is described as well as the resume of gathered knowledge.

This thesis is focused on the design and realisation of inertial navigation unit INS. The unit is capable to measure, store and send data to a PC in real-time for a later offline processing. The first part of the thesis introduces the reader with the basic principles of accelerometers, gyroscopes and MEMS sensors. An introduction to coordinate systems and measuring errors is also included. The second and third part of the thesis deals with the analysis of the solution and the implementation of the INS unit. The fourth part of the document is dedicated to the software for the INS unit. This thesis concludes with explanation how the gathered data are processed.

The present thesis applies the method of historical institutionalism to analyze the repatriation policies of Poland and the way they have worked in practice. It describes the development of repatriation from the territory of the former Soviet Union, starting from the First World War to present. It examines the institutional changes that contributed to the current Repatriation Act and puts these changes into a deeper context. The following section introduces the "Karta Polaka" (lit. The Pole's Card), which according to the lawmakers, aims at materializing its holder's moral commitment to Polonia. To ensure the proper working of the "Karta Polaka"in practice, it was also necessary to amend the Citizenship Act - the relevant components of which will be also discussed in the thesis. By describing the development of the institution of the "Karta Polaka", my goal is to prove that the primary aim of helping the Polish diaspora in the East is no longer entirely true. In addition, thanks to the simple conditions for obtaining the "Karta Polaka", as well as a series of amendments to the law, it rather serves the purpose of repatriation, as the holders of the card can apply for Polish citizenship after a year. Although both laws are aimed at a different group of people, the "Karta Polaka" is gradually taking over the...
