Effektivisera materialflödet med hjälp av självgående truckarJönsson, Andreas, Ermal, Devce January 2015 (has links)
The thesis that follows is performed in collaboration with Nitator in Oskarström.The factory in Oskarström focuses on laser cutting, robotic welding and surfacetreatment of steel for the automotive industry. The project aims to streamline the flow of materials in production by automatingthe movements of the forklifts, running to and from the interlayer, and betweenworkstations. The project started with a systematic literature search. The literature searchshowed the research position around the AGV-system. Also a review of studentliterature was made, so that a suitable method for practical implementation couldbe developed and applied. Selected method uses both quantitative and qualitativeapproaches, which is analyzed by using triangulation. The work has resulted in a modified layout of the current facility in Oskarströmthat can be used for the implementation of the AGV-system. It has also resulted inthe tender documents and profitability calculation from several of AGV-suppliers.

Impact of Free vs. Guided Exploratory Learning via Interactive Computer Simulation on Students' LearningAhmad, Suzan January 2006 (has links)
Computer simulations are increasingly recognized as educational tools that facilitate students' learning in a safe environment. However, the way in which the simulations are used can have considerable impact on learning outcomes. Some have argued that exploratory learning is an effective strategy for learning new materials; but others have expressed concern that allowing free exploration may result in less efficient, or even inaccurate, learning and therefore encourage more guided exploration. The purpose of this research is to compare learning outcomes of nursing students in a critical care course when using an interactive computer simulation designed to teach fundamentals of oxygenation management under two exploratory learning methods (free versus guided exploration). The conceptual framework for the study was derived from the Informatics Research Organizing Model. The experimental study used a pretest-posttest design. Students in an existing or just finished critical care course were invited to participate in the study. Following a pretest that included a paper and pencil assessment of students' oxygenation management knowledge and two computer-generated clinical scenarios, students were encouraged to learn about the simulation using either guided or free exploration. The Guided Exploration group was given tasks to achieve, while the Free Exploration group was asked to learn about the instructional oxygenation management simulation without any specific tasks. Students then completed a posttest that was identical to the pretest with the addition of one novel clinical scenario to assess knowledge transfer. The results of data analysis using paired t-tests showed no significant differences in learning in the post test for the total group. The independent t-test showed no differences in the mean score between the Free and Guided Exploration groups.

Guided-Wave Superconducting Quantum Optoelectronic DevicesGhohroodi Ghamsari, Behnood 25 May 2010 (has links)
This thesis investigates a novel optoelectronic platform based on
the integration of superconductive structures, such as thin films
and micro-constrictions, with optical waveguides for ultra-fast and
ultra-sensitive devices with applications including high-speed
optical communications, quantum optical information processing, and
terahertz (THz) devices and systems.
The kinetic-inductive photoresponse of superconducting thin films
will be studied as the basic optoelectronic process underlying the
operation of these novel devices. Analytical formulation for the
non-bolometric response is presented, and experimental
photodetection in YBCO meander-line structures will be demonstrated.
A set of superconducting coplanar waveguides (CPW) are designed and
characterized, which support the operation of the devices at
microwave frequencies. Microwave-photonic devices comprising a
microwave transmission line and a light-sensitive element, such as a
meander-line structure, are designed and measured for implementation
of optically tunable microwave components.
In order to support low-loss and low-dispersion propagation of
millimeter-wave and THz signals in ultra-fast and wideband
kinetic-inductive devices, surface-wave transmission lines are
proposed, incorporating long-wavelength Surface Plasmon Polariton
(SPP) modes in planar metal-dielectric waveguides.
The theory of superconducting optical waveguides, including
analytical formulation and numerical methods, is developed in
detail. The implementation of superconducting optical waveguides is
discussed thoroughly, employing conventional dielectric-waveguide
techniques as well as optical SPP modes.
Superconductive traveling-wave photodetectors (STWPDs) are
introduced as a viable means for ultra-fast and ultra-sensitive
photodetection and photomixing. A modified transmission line
formalism is developed to model STWPDs, where light is guided
through an optical waveguide and photodetection is distributed along
a transmission line.
As an appendix, a systematic approach is developed for the analysis
of carrier transport through superconducting heterostructures and
micro-constrictions within the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) framework.
The method is applied to study the role of Andreev reflection and
Josephson-like phenomena in the current-voltage characteristics of
inhomogeneous superconducting structures. I-V characteristics are
experimentally demonstrated in YBCO micro-constrictions with
potential applications in millimeter-wave and THz devices.

Communication, mapping and navigational aspects for a free-ranging, automated guided vehicle.Asbury, James. January 1992 (has links)
A free-ranging automated guided vehicle incorporating navigation and radio communication for use in a fully automated flexible manufacturing system has been developed. A vehicle, operating as a complete subsystem, was built and tested in an integrated control environment and proved to have promising results. various radio communication techniques are examined and the design and testing of a low cost, wireless, two way communication link is detailed. A novel, flexible infrared
navigation technique was developed and incorporated into the AGV subsystem. Path planning and a flexible real time path
modification system was formulated using an innovative program with an interpolative visual display unit and digitiser. Data transfer to and from the vehicles in a real time integrated system is covered. System integration for an free-ranging automatic guided vehicle is discussed covering aspects of communication, mapping and navigation. Specific needs for a free-ranging automatic guided vehicle, are presented. The unique design features of navigation and mapping outlined in this thesis has resulted in a low cost, free-ranging, autonomous automatic guided vehicle. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1992.

Variable sensor system for guidance and navigation of AGVs.January 2008 (has links)
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) depend on sensor systems to guide and navigate in manufacturing environments. The sensor system must ensure the correct path is followed and monitor the vehicle’s progress as it proceeds through the environment to complete assigned tasks. An AGV therefore needs an efficient guidance and navigation system, based on sensor technology that allows it to navigate safely and accurately. A variable sensor system will provide an AGV with the ability to interchange guidance and navigation techniques as the parameters in the environment change in order to complete tasks. This will maintain material handling operations and guarantee production rates. The standardization of sensor based guidance and navigation systems for AGVs and other autonomous robots will optimize performance. The project involved research, design, construction, assembly and testing of a variable sensor system for guidance and navigation of AGVs. Sensor technology facilitated AGV operation in changing environments and avoidance of other robots and automated machines in an Agile manufacturing environment. Routing algorithms and procedures enabled safe movement and AGV task completion. The project required mechanical, electronic and software integration for AGV navigation and guidance. / Thesis (M.Sc.Eng.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2008.

Pedagogers samspel med barn i förskolan : Hur används Vägledande samspel, ICDP, i förskolanPersson, Anna January 2014 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to find out how teachers in preschool interact with children. By unstructured observations of teachers in preschool I intend to find out how they interact with children. Is it possible to see that the operation is built on guided interaction speciality? Positive interaction between adults and children is of importance to a good childhood and a child’s learning. I have asked myself how teachers interact with children in preschool. There are different ways of interaction. International Child Development Programme, ICDP, Guided interaction has named different ways of interaction. It is based on three dialogues which are divided into 8 themes. Each dialogue is directed to different parts in the interaction. The three dialogues are: The emotional dialogue, the meaning and extending dialogue, and finally the regulatory dialogue. Teachers interact with children, in a positive way of interacting, and often without a thought of why, it is something they just do. What I saw was that the children received positive confirmation of the educators and the operation is built on ICDP’s interaction speciality.
