International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Embedded GIS in Intelligent Navigation System is a special information system. This paper puts forward several basic principles and constraints during design for Embedded GIS at first, and then analyzes the feature of embedded platform and the function of Intelligent Navigation System, and presents a realization scheme of Embedded GIS.

The presented thesis offers in a wrapped form some basic information about HR procesess in an existing company and at the same time it draws new improvement options by applying an ontological solution. The aim of the thesis is based on a performed process analysis to select and resolve identified deficiencies by planed process improvements. Furthermore the author's solution enables to extend nowadays available options IT systems. The result of the diploma thesis is the description and categorisation of investigated process inefficiencies, followed by a relevant solution of ontological nature designed for elimination of the detected inefficiencies. The thesis is divided into three parts. First of them is oriented to characterise organization's environment, second part contains detailed analysis of hiring process and its subprocesses. Discussion about one of the most main uneffectivity's way, method of using IT systems in a process of process, runs on a base of knowledge contained in previous parts of the thesis.

This thesis was made for EMBA Machinery AB and includes a product development process with the result of a concept model. EMBA is a company that develops and manufactures machines for the global corrugated board industry and wants to extend their solutions with a system that automatically removes the misprinted corrugated boards. The idea is to incorporate the system with the already existing processing flow and should be combined with the existing video system that validate the print quality. The concept model is a concept of the mechanical parts needed for the solution and can be used as a foundation for further work towards a product for the market. To produce this concept model methods for divergent problem solving were used. Several concept solutions were created and evaluated with the purpose of finding the best one. This concept was then developed further into a 3D-model of all the interlocking machine- and construction elements, whom in detail demonstrates the removal of misprinted boards. Calculations, which included determining moment of inertia and an acceleration curve, were also done based on data from this model with the intent of testing the plausibility of the solution and to offer a theoretical foundation on which to base further work with this concept. / Det här examensarbetet utfördes åt EMBA Machinery AB och innefattar en produktutvecklingsprocess med slutresultat i en konceptmodell. Företaget utvecklar och tillverkar i dag maskiner för den globala wellpapp-industrin och önskar nu komplettera sitt utbud med ett system som automatiskt sorterar bort wellpappark som erhållit felaktigt grafiskt tryck. Detta är tänkt att kunna inkorporeras i deras befintliga processeringsflöde och skall kombineras med befintlig videoteknik för validering av det grafiska trycket. Konceptmodellen som tas fram är således en potentiell lösning av de mekaniska delar som samverkar i sållningen av feltryckta ark och är tänkt som en grund för vidare arbete att ta fram en marknadsfärdig produkt. I processen att ta fram denna konceptmodell tillämpades metoder för divergent problemlösning där flera lösningskoncept genererades och värderades i syfte att hitta det bästa. Detta koncept utvecklades sedan till en mer detaljerad representation av lösningen i form av en 3D-modell av de samverkande maskin- och konstruktionselementen, vilken i detalj demonstrerar hur det valda konceptet löser sållningen av feltryckta ark. Beräkningar, vilka innefattade framtagning av tröghetsmoment och accelerationskurva, utfördes även med data från denna modell i syfte att testa lösningens rimlighet och att erbjuda en teoretisk grund att jobba vidare med i fortsatt arbete av konceptet.

This Dissertation-in-Practice introduces a law enforcement concept-to-practice model designed by combining tested methods of organizational analysis often utilized by those in the discipline of education. The model incorporates a two phase design with the first phase focusing on implementing and evaluating innovative changes within a medium size law enforcement agency for a micro-level analysis. A second phase examines the ability to replicate the concept program on a statewide, macro-level, by incorporating a re-design method utilizing organizational resource and structure frames. The concept applied to this model was the introduction of a therapy dog interaction during investigations involving crimes against children to reduce anxiety and increase communication. The first phase concluded that the introduction of therapy dogs during law enforcement investigations had a statistical significance in the reduction of anxiety and increased disclosure rates with child victims, without interfering with judicial policies and procedures. The second phase produced a series of flexible options allowing law enforcement agencies of all types to replicate therapy dog programs that are consistent, cost effective, and sustainable. The overall results indicate the use of this concept-to-practice model was successful in examining and introducing an innovative concept that provided a significant impact in the complex organizations of the justice system.
