782	Evaluation and Justification of an RFID Implementation : Pilot at IKEA Customer Distribution Centre Larsson, Björn, Qviberg, Ola January 2004 (has links) The purpose of this final thesis isto develop a model for justification and evaluation of RFID technology. RFID is a new, relatively untested, technology using radio signals for automatic identification of different objects. Our theoretical frame of references focuses on research about RFID and implementation iss ues, we also conducted case studies and interviews in order to learn about RFID. Most RFID installations of today are Pilots or early adopters wanting to try new technology. A lot of the written sources were reports from consultancy firms or suppliers of technology. Implementing RFID in real environment gave important insights into potentials and limitations of the technology. It proved that it is difficult to achieve sufficient readability in a steel environment. We also learned that one should not underestimate the time for installation and tuning in order to meet higher readability. The project finally resulted in an iterative model for justification and evaluation of RFID technology.

784	In Varying Shades of Brown : Searching the colourful past of a 18th century masterpiece Andersson, Elise January 2012 (has links) The colourful past of the late 18th century marquetry furniture has seldom been highlighted. Through ageing and environmental influences, colourful marquetry furniture has lost their original expression. The current knowledge of how Swedish cabinet-makers in the late 18th century used dyes to colour their furniture is limited. Trace of colour has been observed and the use of dyes has been mentioned, but deeper research in this filed is missing. A visual examination and studies of archive documents and previous research have been performed to investigate the colourful past of Gottlieb Iwerssons masterpiece, a secretaire in Gustavian style made for the king Gustav III. The result shows that the secretaire has a colourful past in accordance with its original drawing. A hypothetical picture has been created to illustrate the colourful original appearance.

785	Axel Einar Hjorth – arkitekten som glömdes bort : om Nordiska Kompaniets chefsarkitekt och svensk art déco / Axel Einar Hjorth – the architect who was forgotten : an essay about the head architect of Nordiska Kompaniet and Swedish art déco Carlsten, Susanna January 2008 (has links) Denna uppsats beskriver möbelarkitekten Axel Einar Hjorths karriär och produktion med fokus på åren 1927-32, hans första sex år som chefsarkitekt på Nordiska Kompaniet. Genom att undersöka några samtida tidskrifter försöker uppsatsen även utröna hur Hjorth mottogs under sin egen tid, samt varför han var förtigen i svenskdesignhistoria så länge. I uppsatsen ingår flera möbelanalyser vilka syftar till att beskriva Hjorths stil och bredd samt tidens smak. Uppsatsen visar att Axel Einar Hjorth ofta ritade internationellt orienterade möbler i ren art déco, men också stilmöbler, funktionalistiska seriemöbler m.m. Art déco var en stilriktning under mellankrigstiden, men i Sverige talar vi ofta om ”Swedish Grace” eftersom mycket konsthantverk under denna tid fick ett något svalare klassicistiskt uttryck än övriga länders. I Sverige har art décon eller ”Swedish Grace” ofta hamnat i skuggan av funktionalismen, som fick större genomslagskraft. Det är en av anledningarna till att ingen akademisk text tidigare har skrivits om Axel Einar Hjorth. / This essay describes the carrier and production of the architect Axel Einar Hjorth, with an emphasis on the years 1927-1932, his first six years as head architect at Nordiska Kompaniet. The essay also tries to inquire into how Hjorth was recieved by contemporary press and explain why he was forgotten about for many years. The study shows that the furniture designs of Axel Einar Hjorth was very international in it´s style. Instead of calm classicism the furnitures often have strong references to art déco, a style that didn´t grew big in Sweden. The essay includes several furniture analyses where the aim is to show Hjorths versatility. Hjorth designed both art déco furnitures, period furnitures and more modernistic furnitures etc. One of the reasons why so little has been written about Axel Einar Hjorth and art déco in Sweden is that the funktionalism won the debate with it´s socialistic ideas, which made art déco a short-lived style.

786	Aplicação do design gráfico para o desenvolvimento de mobiliário urbano Moroni, Janaina Luisa da Silva January 2008 (has links) O projeto de espaços públicos, pensados como ideais, necessita um investimento elevado. A abertura de licitações para profissionais residentes de outros estados, diferentes daquele de onde será feita a implantação, pode trazer reflexos negativos no mobiliário urbano projetado, pois esses profissionais planejam, muitas vezes, de acordo as vivências de sua cidade local, gerando mobiliários urbanos descontextualizados com o padrão cultural, a identidade visual da cidade, a instalação ideal, o acesso universal do usuário e o tipo de material mais conveniente, por exemplo. Em virtude disso, esta pesquisa visa investigar e gerar subsídios para os profissionais ligados às atividades de mobiliário urbano. A ABNT, através da NBR9383, divide o mobiliário urbano em categorias. O foco desta dissertação é a investigação, através de análises e interpretações de arquivos históricos, fotografias e dados de gestores públicos, a categoria de Infra-estrutura, Informação e Comunicação Visual, especificamente no que diz respeito às placas de sinalização e de logradouro. Apresenta-se uma metodologia de projeto de mobiliário urbano, exemplificada através de avaliação por questionário e de proposta de design gráfico para a criação de uma identidade visual na "Rua dos Antiquários" em Porto Alegre, e a produção do aplicativo executável "Geraplaca", para auxiliar os projetistas na elaboração de placas de sinalização e de nome de rua de forma padronizada na escolha da letra, diagramação, observações de produção, acabamento e instalação.

789	L'Etat culturel et le droit : approche juridique des interventions culturelles de l'Etat en France / Cultural state and law : legal approach of cultural actions of the state in France Voizard, Karl-Henri 21 October 2011 (has links) La présente thèse fait l’hypothèse que l’analyse juridique doit permettre de dégager le sens des interventions culturelles de l’État. Par-delà l’extrême diversité des objets dont elles se saisissent, les règles qui composent le droit de l’action culturelle des pouvoirs publics présentent en effet des caractéristiques communes. Leur examen montre que les principes auxquels elles obéissent dessinent les contours d’une figure:celle de l’État culturel. La démonstration s’articule en deux temps. Il est d’abord montré par quels moyens juridiques les dispositifs classiques des interventions culturelles de l’État sont orientés pour renforcer la cohésion nationale : l’État produit des institutions dans le but de mettre les individus en contact avec la culture et de fédérer autour de celle-ci ; il protège dans le même temps les biens et agents indispensables à l’inscription de ces institutions dans la durée. Il est ensuite montré que les réformes de l’État et les modifications du droit applicable dans le secteur culturel n’ont pas vraiment fait plier la logique initiale : les formes juridiques de l’action sont certes plus nuancées, mais elles transforment l’État culturel plus qu’elles ne le remettent en cause. / This thesis assumes that legal analysis should enlighten the global meaning of cultural actions of the State. Beyond the wide variety of objects concerned, rules composing law oncultural activities of public authorities show common features. Their review shows that principles they follow draw the outlines of a figure: the one of the cultural State. The demonstration is organized in two phases. It is first shown what legal mechanisms are concerned when conventional means of cultural interventions of the State are focused tostrengthen national cohesion: the State produces institutions in order to link people withculture and unite around it. In the same time, it protects the property and agents necessaryto assure these institutions in the long term. It is then shown that the State reforms and cultural law changes did not really bend the initial logic: the legal forms of action are certainly more nuanced, but they change the State culture more than they challenge it.

790	Architektonická studie sakrálního objektu Brno - Líšeň / Architectural study of the sacral object Brno - Live /Líšeň/ Malečková, Kateřina January 2020 (has links) The topic of this diploma thesis is design processing of a new sacral building in Brno-Líšeň district. It is a plot in the middle of a panel building between the health centre building and the building of the Salesian Youth Center, so-called Salesko. The Salesian community, which will use the building the most, has been waiting for the realization of this building for many years. The key theme is the creation of spaces enabling people to meet for worship, celebrations and social events. The design is processed by two interconnected operations - the building of the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit and the building of clergy house. The basic composition consists of three cubic masses - the entrance, the main liturgical space and the clergy house. The bell tower is the height dominant feature which indicates the sacral function of the building. The project consists a set of buildings with two above-ground floors and a basement in the entrance part of the church. This project also mentions the solution of open spaces around the plot and their conversion into quality public areas, marginally. The sacral space is to become a place that welcomes and takes in its visitors and gives them the feeling of safety. Inside this building, people will find peace, support and undestarstanding, so they may leave with the feeling of being a better person.
