This master's thesis deals with systems which are used for supervisory control and data acquisition. The theoretical part concerns with the single systems and their comparison. The practical section describes the designed program for control of smart wiring FOXTROT. The visualization and its remote control were created in this program. The result of practical part is a lab manual.

This diploma thesis describes an intelligent wiring system especially of one’s home. Modern Foxtrot System from TECO, JSC has been examined and done to work. In the first part of the thesis the highly diverse options of the intelligent home system are dealt with. The second part of the thesis treats the concept of Foxtrot System in greater detail. The objective is to describe the use of the control system as well as the advanced automation. The larger part of the diploma thesis deals with a sample laboratory Foxtrot system panel, its draft, functions and construction. The budget for the draft and the construction is created and based on the prices of Foxtrot System components. As for the planned integration of the laboratory panel in education, two laboratory manuals are developed and vary in their control functions. In the first manual Foxtrot System, Mosaic software and push button control panel are introduced to the user. The second one describes how to create a more complicated program that is used to control the system via the web interface computer or Smart phone and are also used buttons.

Language is a common metaphor used to describe dance and how people understand, observe, dance and relate to dances. This metaphor implies that dance has a communicative aspect between people and there is a structure to the patterns found in the dance. The pattern of interest in language is the pattern of articulation of sounds. The dance investigated in this thesis is the Foxtrot, a partner dance, with a view to examining how the structure of this dance is articulated using theories from oral language phonology and sign language phonology. In particular it looks at sonority and prosodic units in sign language and how they apply to dance. The research questions are: (1) Can sonority be defined for dance and used in the analysis of dance steps, and (2) Can dance steps be organized into prosodic units? This thesis makes the following arguments: Dance has a sonority based on the articulators used to articulate the dance step. The steps are structured around the sonority of the articulators used in the step. In the Foxtrot sonority is defined by the proximity of the articulators to the centre of mass of the dancer. The closer to the centre of mass the more sonorous the movement. The most sonorous movements start the step while following movements are less sonorous. This pattern is repeated with the other prosodic unit of the foot, where the most prominent step starts the foot. The conclusion is that theories from phonology can be applied to the Foxtrot and may be able to be extended to other types of dance. / Graduate

The thesis deals with an intelligent wiring including a control and visualization design for a family house. The goal of the thesis is to create a project of a high and a low voltage wiring for a family house including a design of an intelligent wiring. The thesis introduction describes an intelligent wiring and a comparison with a classic wiring. The next two chapters deal with the most used systems and a detailed description of the selected system Foxtrot. The chapter number 5 addresses the project documentation creation for a high and a low voltage wiring. A performance calculation of a heat pump used for heating is described in the following chapter. The functional program for control and visualization of heating, lighting, shading and security is described at the end of the thesis.

Thesis (MA (Afrikaans and Dutch))—University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / In this thesis I explore the possibility of reading Foxtrot van die vleiseters by Eben Venter through the philosophy of the carnivalesque and grotesque realism, as put forward by the Russian language philosopher, Mikhail Bakhtin. An overview of the theory of grotesque realism is given in chapter 1. In chapter 2 some of the main aspects of the apartheidsregime are discussed, after which the most important principles of grotesque realism are applied to the novel. A chapter is devoted to each of the following broad categories: the distinction between a high, official order and a low, unofficial order and the consequences when the official order is lifted; the images of the grotesque body; and lastly, the culture of laughter and celebration. The salient points will be gathered together in the conclusion.

This master's thesis deals with intelligent wiring Foxtrot and use in the field of lighting. The theoretical part is comparsion of classical and intelligent wiring. This section provides an overview of the most widely used bus system for building control in our market. Thesis is devoted to the description of the Foxtrot system and development environment mosaic. In the development environment Mosaic is designed program for lighting control DALI interface. WebMaker enabled program visualization and his remote contorol. The result of practical part is a lab manual.

This thesis describes design of a power and data network in an intelligent house. The aim is to create a project of wiring system for an intelligent house, which is being controlled by system Foxtrot. At introduction, in the second chapter, the division of buildings in terms of heat loss amount is described. Furthermore, the chapter deals with low-powered buildings and describes division of low-powered buildings in terms of heating needs. The third chapter deals with the system Foxtrot and describes individual parts of this system. Designed object is presented in the last chapter. Moreover, the chapter focusses on design of a whole project describing wiring system using the elements of system Foxtrot.

This master´s thesis applies to design of power and data wiring controlle by an intelligent wiring. The aim is to get to know the issue and design a project for family house that includes fhotovoltaic power station. In the introduction is a description of the inteligent wirings, its potential, topology, advantages or disadvantages towards standard electroinstallations,it also presents an overview of widely used intelligent wiring, especially Foxtrot. What follows is the subject itself for what is the project designated for. The next topic will be a presentation of complete electroinstallation and photovoltaic power station. It all ends with an economic evaluation of the whole project.

This thesis deals with the classic and system wiring as well as their implementation and visualization environment for its operation. The aim of this work is to implement the project of the existing high-voltage and low-voltage wiring housing units accompanied by a design of the system wiring. This design is then fully implemented. In the beginning of the work is introduction to system wiring as such, added by a brief comparison of current systems. Followed by two chapters dealing with two selected systems for the realization of wiring. These chapters succinctly capture the essence of the system, its characteristics and features offered by each system. The last part deals with project design of wiring for the residential unit and the procedure for its commissioning. The practical part is dedicated to creating drawings with the existing power and low voltage distribution systems, the design of the smart wiring and electrical switchboard, together with possible modifications. The project documentation also discusses technical report. Finally, the selected system is tested and commissioned according to the requirements.
