Every year SOS Alarm receives 3.5 million emergency calls via 112 and an ambulance is needed in one million of these situations. Working as a paramedic is very physically demanding and the profession is over-represented, in terms of attritional wear on the lower back and the shoulders. Every day the paramedics need to perform many heavy lifts and the deadlift is one of the most demanding. They perform a deadlift when a patient should be lifted from the ground up to height of the haunch. When the deadlift is completed, the paramedics transport the patient to the ambulance. Work below the knees and over the shoulders should not occur by ergonomic recommendations. When the paramedics perform a deadlift it’s always start below their knees which means that the start position is not advantageous and there is a high risk to be injured. There are many factors that can affect the lifting situation in a negative way for example uneven surfaces, tight spaces and worried patients. In this project a unique product has been developed to replace the deadlift which is a huge problem that no one else has solved before. By using the product, the deadlift can now be done with minimal use of human power. The product significantly simplifies the care of the patients and will reduce work-related injuries in the pre-hospital medical care.

Aren’t you tired of never finding stuff? Take a bits as example, do you store these lose in your toolbox or carpenter belt? What if you could have it all accessible and assembled in a tool, always at arm’s reach? Today bits are used together with electric screwdrivers and handheld screwdrivers in a greater spread. For these different types of storage, from pure storage boxes to complex tools with storage built in, exist. The professional craftsmen commonly use some kind of box where the bits can be stored. Even so they tend to store their bits loose in a carpenter belt or toolbox, since they want the speed and accessibility of carpenter belt over the storage box’s tidiness. The project was started in the fall of 2010 and a referents group was early put together to ensure that the developed product became as user-friendly and attractive as possible. The referents group contained our target group, professional craftsmen and other competent persons within the field. In cooperation with the referents group a needs and wants list was put together to make sure that the product satisfice the need. The lack of a good storage solution has led to a unique product which suit for both usage and storage of bits. Through combining the carpenter belt and the storage box speed, accessibility and tidiness is obtained. A solution suggestion with a prototype was created which satisfied the set needs and wants. The solution was presented for the referents group and the response was good but improvements suggestions were given. These were taken and work began on a new version. The result became a new product, qbits, the unique tool which combine usage and storage of bits.

Yrkeschaufförer som hämtar och levererar paket, använder sig ofta av LVC-fordon (Light Commercial Vehicle). Dessa fordon är vanligtvis försedda med skjutdörr på ena sidan, samt dörrar baktill. För att underlätta in-och urstigning bak på fordonet så är fotsteg monterat under dörrarna. När föraren ska hämta eller lämna paket backar de mot lastkajen för att kunna lasta in eller ur via bakdörren på fordonet. Man önskar att komma så nära intill lastkajen som möjligt och backar tills det att fotsteget där bak tar emot, detta ger föraren en smidig och effektiv indikator på att önskad position är uppnådd. Problemet som uppstår när denna manöver upprepas är att fotsteget tillslut backas sönder. Att åka till verkstad för att laga det trasiga fotsteget prioriteras bort eftersom det tar tid och kostar pengar.   Två utvecklingsingenjörer har i samarbete med företaget Modul-System HH AB tagit fram en lösning på detta problem. Med hjälp av vetenskapliga metoder, analyser och andra verktyg har produkten Spring Step utvecklats och är fotsteget med lång livslängd som hjälper företag att både spara tid och pengar.   Spring Step är det fjädrande fotsteget som med hjälp av bladfjädrar skjuts in under bilen när det utsätts för horisontella krafter. Produkten är anpassningsbar på alla typer av LVC-fordon eftersom det finns en skena på fotstegets undersida där ett justerbart skruvförband. / Package delivery drivers often use Light Commercial Vehicles. This kind of vehicles are equipped with a sliding door on the side and two doors at the back. To make it easier to enter and exit the back of the vehicle, there is a step mounted to the chassis. When the driver picks up or delivers a package, he reverses towards the loading dock to able to load or unload through the back doors. You want to be as close as possible to the dock which is why you reverse until the step and the dock collides, this maneuver serves as an effective indicator to when the desired position is reached. The problem occur by repeating the maneuver is that step eventually breaks. Repairing the step is often not high priority due to high costs and long lead times.   Two Innovation engineers has in collaboration with Modul-System HH AB developed a solution to this problem. Using product- and project development models, Spring Step has been developed which has a longer life span and saves transportation companies a lot of time and money.   Spring Step is the resilient step that uses plate springs to shove the step under the vehicle during horizontal force. The product is customizable to any light commercial vehicle on the market due to the rail and bolts under the step.

Vi har alla varit nervösa inför en muntlig presentation. Detta gäller allt från korta grupparbeten i grundskolan till Examensarbeten på Högskolan, eller ännu större i arbetslivet. Att vara måttligt nervös är önskvärt, då vi människor presterar bäst när vi är lite spända. Var går gränsen från måttligt nervös till rent obehag och talångest? Detta är olika för oss alla, men problemet ökar med kraven. Talångesten kan leda till depression, vilket höjer risken att gå in i väggen. Detta är ett område som jag har haft problem med i stort sett hela livet, därför väljer jag det som examensarbete! PrePresentia är en applikation för Apples smartphones och surfplattor. Applikationen kombinerar funktioner för talövning med analys av ljud och puls. Användaren kopplar upp pulsmätaren (Apple Watch) mot applikationen och kan på så vis avgöra skillnaden mellan vilopuls innan presentation och den aktiva pulsen efteråt. Applikationen ska hjälpa till, likt idrottarna som analyserar puls och prestation för att förbättra sig. Utöver detta analyseras även talet och en tipslista/guide finns med i applikationen. Övning ger efterallt färdighet! /Christopher Henriksson

The waste industry is an important industry for both society and the climate, and where technological development makes waste sorting more efficient. The purpose of this project has been to identify new areas of use for the algorithm, called Spiral Code, which was developed by Professor Josef Bigun at Halmstad University. The technology is unique in its structure and function, where the code can be read regardless of how large a part of it is exposed during the moment of detection. The project's goal is to investigate whether it is possible to implement the Spiral Code at the company Envac in order to make their waste management more efficient. Conducted tests show that the Spiral Code can locate and identify the spirals in the messy environment that prevails during waste sorting and where today's method of optical color reading does not enable the identification of the origin of the waste. Furthermore, completed tests show that it is practically feasible to implement the Spiral Code on Envac's plant system. In order to get the best efficiency, some adaptations is recommended to be carried out, such as implementation of the Spiral code in Envac's camera and image analysis system, control and adaptation of the camera's location and improvement of lighting at the same to ensure correct detection. / Avfallsbranschen är en viktig bransch för både samhället och klimatet och där den tekniska utvecklingen möjliggör en effektivisering av avfallssorteringen. Syfte med detta projekt har varit att identifiera nya användningsområden för den algoritm, benämnd Spiralkod och som är utvecklad av professor Josef Bigun vid Högskolan i Halmstad. Teknologin är unik i sin uppbyggnad samt funktion, där koden är möjlig att läsas av oberoende av hur stor del av den som exponeras under avläsningsögonblicket. Projektets mål är att undersöka om det är möjligt att implementera Spiralkoden hos företaget Envac för att på så sätt effektivisera deras avfallshantering. Genomförda tester visar att Spiralkoden kan lokalisera och identifiera spiralerna i den rörig miljö som råder vid avfallssortering och där dagens metod med optisk färgavläsning inte möjliggör identifiering av avfallets ursprung. Vidare visar genomförda tester att det är praktiskt genomförbart att kunna implementera Spiralkoden på Envacs anläggningssystem. För att få ut bäst effektivitet bör en del anpassningar genomföras, som exempel implementering av Spiralkoden i Envacs kamera-och bildanalyssystem, kontroll och anpassning av kamerans placering samt
