Non-Intrusive Audible Quick Response Code for media applicationMcGrath, Neethling 02 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MMus) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2015. / This study details the design of an audible QR Code. The audible QRCode
seeks to increase the rate of information exchanged in a human interaction and
increase the quality of communication by altering the delivery medium of a QRCode.
The delivery medium is changed from a two dimensional bar code to a
audio signal. The design is discussed in detail grounded on telecommunication
theory including signal modulation, packet construction and error correction.
Three techniques were tested in order to reduce the possible intrusive characteristics
of the audible QR Code on media content. The commercial uses
of the audible QR Code is discussed as well as possible competitions and the
advantages it has over the traditional visual QR Code. / Hierdie studie verduidelik die ontwerp van ’n hoorbare QR-Kode. Die hoorbare
QR-Kode se doel is om die hoeveelheid inligting wat verruil word gedurende
menslike interaksies te verhoog en ook om die kwaliteit van die kommunikasie
te verbeter deur die afleweringsmedium van ’n QR-kode te verander.
Die medium word verander van n visuele tweedimensionele streepkode na ’n
klanksein. Die ontwerp word in diepte bespreek gegrond op die telekommunikasie
teorie wat seinmodulasie, datapakkonstruksie en foutkorreksie insluit.
Daar word drie tegnieke getoets wat ontwerp is om die indringende eienskappe
van die Hoorbare QR-Kode te verminder. Die kommersi¨ele gebruike van die
Hoorbare QR-Kode word bespreek, so ook moontlike kompetisie en die voordele
wat die Hoorbare QR-kode besit bo die tradisionele visuele QR-kode.

The F-22A Quick Response Package-QRPNatale, Louis, Roach, John 10 1900 (has links)
ITC/USA 2011 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Seventh Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2011 / Bally's Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada / The F-22 Quick Response Package was designed to efficiently solve aircraft anomalies in the field. Providing this capability would enhance aircraft combat availability and lower maintenance costs. Using the current F-22 instrumentation flight test system design package as a baseline, a smaller, and much more versatile, version of the system was designed. This new design concept includes a data acquisition and recording system on a single pallet called the Quick Response Package (QRP). The QRP can be installed in any operational F-22 war fighter in a single production shift with no intrusion to the aircraft's systems readiness. The data acquisition and recording capabilities provide a near real-time field solution without excessive downtime or pilot intervention. This paper describes the design requirements, the design concept and packaging details of the QRP.

Läsning av QR-koder med smarta telefoner : En undersökning om spridningen av en teknologiHolmström, Henrik, Jorner, Per January 2014 (has links)
Quick Response eller QR är en teknik som tillåter snabb och pålitlig optisk läsning av information som är kodad i ett rutmönster. Som läsverktyg kan man använda läsare som är speciellt tillverkade för ändamålet och numera också vanliga smartphones. Tekniken har i flera år varit framgångsrik i vissa industriella applikationer såsom lagerhållning, men det är fortfarande osäkert i vilken utsträckning den också kan vinna insteg i vardagligt användande av smartphones. Vi har genomfört en enkätundersökning bland universitetsstudenter för att uppskatta hur spridd användningen av QR-koder är och hur denna användning ser ut. För att analysera resultatet har vi använt oss av teorin om diffusion of innovations som tillhandahåller en modell för spridning av ny teknik inom ett sammanhang. Resultaten antyder försiktigtvis att kännedom om tekniken är väl spridd, men att användandet är begränsat och att det beror på brist på upplevd nytta snarare än på att tekniken skulle vara otillgänglig eller svårhanterlig. / Quick Response or QR is a technology allowing fast and reliable optical reading of information encoded in a pattern of black and white squares. Reading implements include devices designed especially for this purpose as well as, in recent years, ordinary smartphones. The technology has for some time been successful in industrial applications such as storage management, but it is uncertain to what degree it might also see widespread use in everyday use of smartphones. We conduct a questionnaire-based survey targeting university students in order to estimate the extent and nature of QR usage. In analysing our findings we make use of the theory of diffusion of innovations, which provides a model for the adoption of a new technology within a given context. Our results imply that knowledge of the technology is widely dispersed, but that actual use is limited and that this is due to a lack of perceived usefulness rather than the technology as such being inaccessible or difficult to use.

QR codes : creative mobile media approachesStewart, Lauren Elizabeth 22 November 2010 (has links)
This report explains what Quick Response Codes are, their history and how they work. It introduces and compares several alternative ways, in addition to QR codes, for consumers to initiate the mobile communication process. Actual use of QR codes in print advertising, outdoor advertising, product packaging and other mediums exemplify how advertisers can use QR codes to integrate traditional media with interactive media, how users respond and interact with QR codes, and how they can be used effectively and creatively in today’s emerging media landscape. / text

Impact of quick response technology based attributes on consumer satisfaction/dissatisfaction among female apparel consumersKo, Eunju 13 February 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to test a conceptual model which examines consumer satisfaction/dissatisfaction (CS/D) with apparel retail stores and to investigate the moderating effects of shopping orientations and store type on confirmation/disconfirmation (C/DC) about quick response technologies (QRT) based attributes and CS/D with a retail store. Shopping orientation included fashion, economic, and time orientations. Store type included specialty chain, department, discount, and small independent stores. The conceptual framework for this study was based on retail strategic planning (Berman & Evans, 1992; Cory, 1988) and consumer satisfaction theory (Oliver, 1980).
A convenience sample of 200 female apparel consumers was selected from a southeast city in the United States. The survey design employed a structured questionnaire with some open-ended questions. A questionnaire was pilot tested for content validity and instrument reliability. Descriptive statistics (Le., frequencies, percentages), multiple regressions, ANOVAs, and ANCOVA were used for data analysis to test the hypotheses. The response rate was 86.2 % for 200 usable responses.
C/DC (i.e., QRT based, non-QRT based attributes) had significant effects on CS/D with apparel retail stores. The results supported the disconfirmation of expectation model (Oliver, 1980). C/DC of QRT based attributes (e.g. reduced stockout, fast turnaround of goods) have more influence on CS/D than C/DC of non-QRT based attributes (e.g., location of store, store hours). Results from a preliminary test indicated that QRT based attributes are improved by implementing QRT.
The orientation of consumers is related to the level of C/DC of QRT based attributes, which determines CS/D. Fashion orientation, economic orientation, and store type were significant moderators between C/DC of QRT based attributes and CS/D with apparel retail stores. The retail QRT information assembled in the review of literature and the results of the study could help industry trade associations adjust their strategy for potential QRT adopters and promote QR implementation efficiently, and help retailers do strategic planning when they implement QRT. / Ph.

Metodologia de padronização de uma célula de fabricação e de montagem, integrando ferramentas de produção enxuta / Standardization methodology of production and assembly cell, combining lean manufacturing toolsPerin, Pedro Claudinei 25 August 2005 (has links)
Este trabalho propõe criar uma metodologia para a padronização de atividades de células de manufatura e de montagem. A metodologia compreende a seleção de algumas ferramentas de produção enxuta e de uma aplicação das mesmas. O desenvolvimento da metodologia ocorre em conjunto com a aplicação, caracterizando desta forma uma pesquisa-ação, uma vez que conceitos e ferramentas são revisados e adequados durante as aplicações. A metodologia é baseada no evento kaizen e sua aplicação tem duração de dois meses. O evento kaizen é utilizado na primeira semana e as demais semanas são dedicadas para acompanhamento das ações de melhorias. As duas últimas semanas são dedicadas à avaliação de resultados. Publicações na literatura científica relacionadas à padronização são poucas, por esta razão pode-se afirmar que este trabalho tem uma contribuição academicamente relevante com o tema e que empresas podem conhecer os requisitos básicos para aplicação da metodologia, podendo explorar seus benefícios. Um dos passos importante da metodologia é a definição das melhores práticas. A participação dos operadores na validação da distribuição das atividades para cada operador e na definição do ritmo de produção é um dos requisitos para o sucesso da implementação. Um processo padronizado permite distinguir uma situação normal de uma anormal. Desta forma ações corretivas podem ser definidas e implementadas. Esta metodologia apresenta um método simples para definição da capacidade instalada e de utilização de operador e máquina de uma célula de manufatura. A aplicação acontece em uma empresa de autopeça. Durante a aplicação, conceitos de manufatura enxuta são disseminados e as pessoas são instigadas a encontrar os desperdícios dentro do processo a ser padronizado. Esta metodologia é resultado de mais de quatorze aplicações e uma delas é utilizada neste trabalho para descrever a metodologia de padronização. / This research proposes to build a methodology for standardization activities of a manufacturing process. The methodology consists of a selection of tools from lean manufacturing systems and of application method. The development of this methodology occurred in parallel with his application, when conceptions and tools are revised and adapted. The standardization methodology is based on kaizen event and whole application takes two months. The kaizen event is used at the first week, when the bets practice are defined and implemented. The rest of the schedule is used for follow up and improvement action implementation. The two last week are dedicated for results analyzes. At science literature, publications about manufacturing activities standardization are not much available. Considered that, it might affirm this research has academic contributions for the theme and organization can find some basic requirement for standardization work application. One of the important phases of the methodology is to define the best practice. The labor participation is one of the requirements for implementation successes. Their participation at the validation of task operator distribution and cycle time definition, ensure the maintenance of standardized work. A standardize process enable distinguish one normal condition of abnormal one. Then corrective action can be defined and implemented. This methodology presents a simple method to define the real install capacity andthe labor and machine utilization of the manufacturing cells. The application occurs at assembly supplier company. During the application, lean manufacturing concepts are disseminated and the people are instigated to find the waste into the process. This methodology is result of more than fourteen applications and one of then is used in this dissertation to describe the methodology.

En jämförelse mellan H&M & Zara´s förmåga att leverera ett snabbt mode : Gentemot kundens uppfattning / A comparison between H&M & Zara´s ability to deliver a fast fashion : Towards the customers comprehensionLarsson, Hedvig, Ogheden, Pauline January 2009 (has links)
During the last year there has been a globalization of trade. Because of the development ofmore sophisticated information's - and communication technology the boundaries and thephysical distance have been smeared out between company as well as countries. Furthermoreit generates that many companies have restructured to global value chains. Because of theincreased access the marketplace has become harder and more competitive than ever.Since the customers nowadays have more access to product information the consume patternsand behaviour has been changed. Through the increased knowledge the consumers requiresmore of the products. Today’s consumers values not only prise and quality but are alsodemanding quality products which are tailored to individual needs and tastes. Companiesfocus has changed from price to the ability to quickly respond on new trends and customerdemands. Fashion companies in the textile sector appear on a complex and unpredictablemarket where new trends and the demand shifts quickly. In order to be competitive on themarket the companies need to renew their range of fashion products several times in season.Fashion goods have a short life-cycle, measured in months or even weeks. Fashion productshave become a consumable and embarrassed in the concept fast fashion. Management of aneffective purchase process is therefore very important in order to meet the requirement onhaving the right product, in right quality, in right quantity at the right time.The purpose of the thesis are to investigate, describe and analyze the connection between thecase companies H&M and Zara´s different ways of deliver fast fashion in relation toward theconsumers understanding of them as a trend conductive on the market.In our paper we have been using a hermeneutist perspective. We have interpreted thecollected material, sow as responders attitudes about the case companies purchasingstrategies. The approach has been adductive and then we have been waged from bothcollected theory and empiric materials. The collected empiric material endure in a qualitativequestionnaire survey that lies to shallow for our analysis and conclusion. In the essay has boththe secondary and primary data compliments each other in order to achieve the study's aimand to answer to our problem wording.Through our analysis, we can come to the conclusion that the customers' view about Zara andH&M´s ability to deliver a fast fashion is very even in that sense that no company was beingidentified as better than the other. We can also make the conclusion that the customers'assumptions not only come from the products visible in store, but also from their own attitudetowards fashion and the company's accessibility and interaction with the customer. Anotherconclusion was that one of the most important attributes is a product fashion degree and that itis important that companies can apply a ”quick response” strategy in order to be successful onfashion the market. / Program: Textilekonomutbildningen
