Supply planning is one of the key steps in an apartment building constructionproject, due to the repetitive nature of these projects where the constructionpace therefore has a crucial importance. However, if the working forceplanning and the materials planning are often acknowledged as important,the equipment supply planning can happen to be considered as secondary.Therefore less effort has been put in the tools used to make this planning.This master thesis is the result of a work in collaboration with the methodsdepartment at Eiffage Construction Habitat, one of the most important Frenchconstruction companies. It presents the implementation of a tool that automatesan important part of the equipment supply planning in order to gain efficiencyduring this planning process and to be able to focus deeper on the keyissues of the project. This tool allows to drastically reduce the time spentduring the supply planning for the equipment of the structural phase, bothregarding vertical works (walls and columns) and horizontal works (floors,beams and balconies). Along with making the planning more efficient, itallows to standardize the output documents and facilitate the work of theother departments with whom the methods department collaborates. Resultingfrom a case study and an internal survey, the implemented tool relies onthe Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications technology, allowing to staywithin the users’ range of mastered software, therefore improving the adoptionpotential of the tool. The results analysis showed a great satisfaction from theusers, both regarding the abilities of the tool and its form. / Resursplaneringen är ett av de viktigaste stegen i ett projekt för byggandeav flerbostadshus på grund av den repetitiva karaktären hos dessa projektdär bygghastigheten därför har en avgörande betydelse. Men om arbetskraftsplaneringenoch materialplaneringen ofta ses som viktiga kan planeringenav utrustningsförsörjningen råka betraktas som sekundär. Därför har mindreansträngningar lagts på de verktyg som används för att göra denna planering.Detta examensarbete är resultatet av ett arbete i samarbete med metodavdelningenvid Eiffage Construction Habitat, ett av de viktigaste franska byggföretagen.Arbetet presenterar implementeringen av ett verktyg som automatiseraren viktig del av planeringen av utrustningsförsörjningen för att få effektivitetunder denna planeringsprocess och för att kunna fokusera djupare på deviktigaste frågorna i projektet. Detta verktyg gör det möjligt att drastisktminska den tid som spenderas under leveransplaneringen för konstruktionsfasensutrustning, både när det gäller vertikala arbeten (väggar och pelare)och horisontella arbeten (golv, balkar och balkonger). Tillsammans med atteffektivisera planeringen möjliggör det att standardisera utdata och underlättaarbetet för de andra avdelningar som metodavdelningen samarbetar med.Till följd av ett studiefall och en intern undersökning är det implementeradeverktyget beroende av Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications-tekniken,vilket gör det möjligt att hålla sig till denprogramvara som användarnashar tillgång till och kan behärska, , vilket förbättrar möjligheter för attverktyget ska accepteras och använda verktyget. Resultatanalysen visade enstor tillfredsställelse från användarna, både vad gäller kan leverera och hurgränssnittet till användaren är utformat.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The trend of current data acquisition and recording systems is to capture multiple streams of Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) data on a single media. The MARS II data recording system manufactured by Datatape, the Asynchronous Realtime Multiplexer and Output Reconstructor (ARMOR) systems manufactured by Calculex, Inc., and other systems on the market today are examples of this technology. The quantity of data recorded by these systems can be impressive, and can cause difficulties in post-test data processing in terms of data storage and turn around time to the analyst. This paper describes the system currently in use at the Strategic Systems Combined Test Force B-1B division to simultaneously post-flight process up to twelve independent PCM streams at twice real-time speeds. This system is entirely personal computer (PC) based running the Window NT 4.0 operating system with an internal ISA bus PCM decommutation card. Each PC is capable of receiving and processing one stream at a time. Therefore, the core of the system is twelve PCs each with decommutation capability. All PCs are connected via a fast ethernet network hub. The data processed by this system is IRIG 106 Chapter 8 converted MIL-STD-1553B bus data and Chapter 4 Class I and II PCM data. All system operator inputs are via Distributed Component Object Modeling (DCOM) provided by Microsoft Developers Studio, Versions 5.0 and 6.0, which allows control and status of multiple data processing PCs from one workstation. All data processing software is written in-house using Visual C++ and Visual Basic.

This thesis demonstrates the use of XML (eXtensible Markup Language) instance documents based on XBRL taxonomy (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) for financial statement analysis. It illustrates how XBRL could change data workflow in order to decrease the costs of maintaining, reporting and analyzing financial data. The practical output is a software extension of MS Excel that can read and analyze online XBRL documents prepared as HTML with embedded XBRL. The theoretical part comprises an explanation of the technical background XBRL and important data workflows related to financial analysis and reporting financial data.

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a software application based on previous studies by 1997 Oak Ridge Design Studio Team that matches students' progress with major requirements in their college career. This study addresses the problems of previous studies and suggests a solution. A powerful new technique, XML, is used to model, store and process the data of major requirements and student records. This application produces an HTML file that provides detailed information of a student's academic progress towards graduation.

This thesis investigates problems in hierarchical games. Mathematical models are used in tennis to determine when players should alter their effort in a game, set or match to optimize their available energy resources. By representing warfare, as a hierarchical scoring system, the results obtained in tennis are used to solve defence strategy problems. Forecasting in tennis is also considered in this thesis. A computer program is written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), to estimate the probabilities of players winning for a match in progress. A Bayesian updating rule is formulated to update the initial estimates with the actual match statistics as the match is progressing. It is shown how the whole process can be implemented in real-time. The estimates would provide commentators and spectators with an objective view on who is likely to win the match. Forecasting in tennis has applications to gambling and it is demonstrated how mathematical models can assist both punters and bookmakers. Investigation is carried out on how the court surface affects a player�s performance. Results indicate that each player is best suited to a particular surface, and how a player performs on a surface is directly related to the court speed of the surfaces. Recursion formulas and generating functions are used for the modelling techniques. Backward recursion formulas are used to calculate conditional probabilities and mean lengths remaining with the associated variance for points within a game, games within a set and sets within a match. Forward recursion formulas are used to calculate the probabilities of reaching score lines for points within a game, games within a set and sets within a match. Generating functions are used to calculate the parameters of distributions of the number of points, games and sets in a match.

Remote experimentation and control have led researchers to develop new technologies as well as implement existing techniques. The multidisciplinary nature of research in electromechanical systems has led to the synergy of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. This work describes the design of a model of a Gantry Mechanism, which maneuvers a web-cam. The user controls virtually the position of end-effecter of the Gantry Mechanism using a Graphical User Interface. The GUI is accessed over the Internet. In order to reduce the unbalanced vibrations of the Gantry Mechanism, we investigate the development of an algorithm of input shaping. A model of the Gantry Mechanism is built, and it is controlled over the Internet to view experimentation of the SCARA Robot. The system performance is studied by comparing the inputs such as distances and angles with outputs, and methods to improve the performance are suggested.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att producera ett dataprogram som dimensionerar pålfundament samt beräknar felslagning av pålar. Ett pålfundaments funktion är att via pålar överföra laster till berg eller fasta jordlager. Felslagning inträffar då pålar inte hamnat på rätt koordinater eller glidit snett ned i marken och ej kan användas. Med hjälp av felslagningsprogrammet erhålles nya påkoordinater för nästkommande påle, vilken måste placeras ut så att tyngdpunkten för hela pålsystemet skall hamna rätt. Programmeringsspråket vi använt oss av är Visual Basic, där vi har omvandlat teoretiska beräkningar till databeräkningar. Detta har resulterat i ett dataprogram som beräknar 2-, 3- och 4-pålsfundament samt tar fram en ny påles koordinater vid felslagning. Vid beräkning av pålfundament tas hänsyn till armeringsmängd, förankring, sprickbildning samt spjälkning.

The task of this project was to build an computer processing system for pressureregulation, in which the pressure loss over the open hydrolicvalve should be kept as low as possible. By using an cross connected proportional directional valve the valve problem could be solved. The control- and regulationproblem for the pressureregulation system was solved by using the DAQ- card NI6035E from National Instruments and the computerprogram Automatic Pressure Control 1.0 which has been software developed and written in Visual Basic. The final result showed that correct processvarible was obtained in 0,5 seconds, when the setpoint was changed in the testarea 0 - 2,5 MPa. / Uppgiften för examensarbetet har varit att bygga ett processdatorsystem för tryckreglering, där tryckfallet över öppen hydraulventil skall hållas så lågt som möjligt.
