I följande rapport visar vi att maskininlärningsalgoritmer från lättillgängliga bibliotek kan vara värdefulla verktyg, vid analys av företagsdata. Vi föreslår en ny metrik för frekvensanalys av oplanerade underhållsbesök genom en fallstudie inom hissbranschen och ger också företaget i fråga, S:t Eriks Hiss i Stockholm, ett geografiskt kundsegmenteringsalternativ, baserat på K-Meansklustring. Vi tillhandahåller också en kort diskussion om huruvida resultaten från Anderson et al (2009) och Blakeley et al (2003) skulle kunna utgöra ett analytiskt ramverk för företag i den urbana infrastrukturindustrin. / In this report we show that Machine Learning algorithms from readily available libraries can be useful tools when analyzing company data. We suggest a new metric for analyzing the frequency of unplanned maintenance calls with an elevator maintenance case study, and also provide the company in question, S:t Eriks Hiss, with a K-Means clustered suggestion of geographical customer partitioning. We provide a brief discussion on whether the results from Anderson et al (2009) and Blakeley et al. (2003) could provide an analytical framework for companies in the urban maintenance industry. A weak negative correlation between profitability and our suggested metric indicate that so is the case and makes for interesting further enquiry.

This thesis examines the growth of the space elevator community in America from 1975 to 2010. It argues that the continued practical failures of the space elevator, a proposed technology for efficiently transporting payloads and people into space without conventional propulsion sources, resulted from a technological paradigm built around the rocket and supported by a traditional engineering culture. After its triumph in landing men on the Moon from 1969 to 1972, the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sought to advance novel concepts for further space exploration, but it fumbled in pursuing nontraditional notions of escaping the atmosphere such as the space elevator. Employing interviews with space elevator advocates Bradley Edwards and Michael Laine and other primary and secondary sources, this thesis also draws on concepts such as technological paradigms, engineering cultures, and the technological sublime. It concludes by demonstrating how success eluded the marginalized space elevator researchers who found themselves grappling with the vast social and technical system that supported the rocket's hegemony. / Master of Arts / This thesis examines the growth of the space elevator community in America from 1975 to 2010. It argues that the continued practical failures of the space elevator, a proposed technology for efficiently transporting payloads and people into space without conventional propulsion sources, resulted from a technological paradigm built around the rocket and supported by a traditional engineering culture. The technological paradigm of the rocket encompassed all of the people and practices that made the rocket work. After its triumph in landing men on the Moon from 1969 to 1972, the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sought to advance novel concepts for further space exploration, but it fumbled in pursuing nontraditional notions of escaping the atmosphere such as the space elevator. Much of this failure is owed to an engineering culture within NASA that looked down upon challenging the rocket. This thesis demonstrates how success eluded the marginalized space elevator researchers who found themselves grappling with the vast social and technical system that supported the rocket's hegemony.

O sistema de elevadores como equipamento para o transporte vertical de pessoas e bens é um componente fundamental no projeto de edifícios e, neste âmbito, a disponibilidade e eficiência do seu serviço deve ser objeto de cuidadosa análise em função de sua influência no desempenho e produtividade das atividades dos usuários do prédio. Neste contexto e considerando especificamente os edifícios inteligentes cuja finalidade é a otimização a nível estrutural e funcional do edifício como um todo, e onde a integração entre seus sistemas cumpre um papel fundamental para atingir estes objetivos, o presente trabalho propõe uma metodologia para a modelagem de sistemas de elevadores nestes prédios, que considera a sua integração com outros sistemas prediais. A abordagem empregada no desenvolvimento deste trabalho baseia-se na caracterização dos sistemas de elevadores como sistemas a eventos discretos (SED), pois sua dinâmica é definida através da ocorrência de eventos e a manutenção de estados discretos. Assim, na metodologia utiliza-se técnicas derivadas das redes de Petri (redes de Petri interpretadas), de comprovada eficiência para a modelagem, análise e controle de SEDs. Estas ferramentas são usadas através de uma abordagem estrutural, onde o sistema é modelado em diferentes níveis de abstração: um modelo conceitual obtido pelo uso da técnica PFS (Production Flow Schema) em um primeiro nível, e o refinamento deste para modelos funcionais através do uso do MFG (Mark Flow Graph) e suas extensões, onde são preservadas as estruturas das atividades do nível superior e são descritos os detalhes em um nível funcional. A metodologia proposta confirmou ser útil e eficiente para a modelagem do sistema de elevadores em edifícios inteligentes, ao permitir a especificação do modelo funcional de todo o sistema (objeto de controle e sistema de controle) e das estratégias que facilitam a sua integração com outros sistemas prediais / The elevator system as mean for the vertical transport of people and goods is a fundamental component in the design of buildings. The availability and efficiency of this service must be object of careful analysis due to its influence on the performance and productivity of the building users' activities. In intelligent buildings, the purpose is the optimization of its structural and functional levels and where also the integration between all building systems accomplishes a fundamental role to reach these objectives. In this context, this work proposes a methodology for the modeling of elevator systems in these buildings, which consider your integration with others buildings systems. The approach developed in this work is based on the characterization of elevator systems as Discrete Event Systems (DES), since the dynamic behavior is defined through the discrete events and discrete states. The proposed methodology uses techniques, that are derived of interpreted Petri nets, which has been proven as an efficient tool for modeling, analysis and control of DES. In this context, systems are modeled in different levels of abstraction: a conceptual model which is obtained by using the PFS (Production Flow Schema) technique level, and a functional model by using MFG (Mark Flow Graph) and its extensions. The MFG abstraction level describes details in a functional form, where are preserved the description activities of previous levels. The methodology proposal confirmed to be useful and efficient to elevator systems modeling, when allowing the functional specification of the whole system (object of control and control system), and strategies that facilitate its integration with others building systems.

Constant product development for integration and optimization is a crucial part of companies today. With industrial components comes the challenge with how these parts can be integrated and optimized the best for the system. One example is a hydraulic elevator system, to integrate and optimize the design, the rest of the valve system has to be taken into consideration. This thesis contains the integration and optimization of a check valve solution designed with the help of the product development process in hopes of reducing costs for the manufacturing process for the company. The thesis resulted in an optimized check valve solution with 6 bolts connected with the hydraulic elevator valve system. The requirements were fulfilled but some were not possible to achieve without a physical copy.
