Due to the rapid technological developments in the car industry and the high quality demands of customers, manufacturers and researchers focus on the reduction of surface roughness making use of various surface topography measurement systems. This master thesis focuses on development of a waviness measurement system (WMS) at Volvo Cars where light from different heights and angles illuminates the surface of an extended object in order to acquire images with different intensities due to shadowing effect and reflection. With this, surface irregularities and imperfections can be detected both in polished and unpolished surfaces for improving the car panels in the manufacturing process.  The initial WMS idea was to illuminate the surface at different heights from the four corners of a dark room using 20 flash lights and a camera positioned exactly on the top of the surface in the middle of the room. The first light goes on and the image is acquired. This procedure continues for all flash lights in 19s.The acquired images were evaluated by Matlab application. With the new WMS system flash lights are replaced by 32 RGB COB LED lights using the DMX512 protocol to communicate with them. The system runs in 9s which is half the time of the old WMS system. New LabView and Matlab codes were adjusted to the new parameters and devices. In the end, measurements were taken with different surfaces, exposure times and color lights. Details of the new devices and software are analyzed in this thesis.

Under sommaren 2012 genomfördes ett examensarbete på Siemens Industrial Turbo­mach­inery AB i Trollhättan gällande möjligheterna att införa pappers­lös verkstad. Syftet med examensarbetet var att kartlägga möjligheterna att minska administrativ hant­ering av produktions­orderkort och öka realtidsuppdatering. För att av­gränsa studien avsåg examens­arbetet endast flödet av produk­tions­­­order­kort ifrån plan­er­ings­avdelningen genom två pro­duk­tions­grupper och vidare in på gods­­­­avdel­ningen. För att kartlägga flödet för den manuella hanteringen av produktionsorderkort upprättades värdeflödesanalyser. Dessutom genomfördes ett studiebesök på Volvo Aero Corporation för att se hur ett annat företag har gjort för att eliminera elektronisk produk­tionsorder. Utifrån värdeflödesanalyserna och studiebesöket identifierades tre frågeställ­ningar vilka an­sågs vara betydelsefulla för att kunna införa elektronisk produk­tions­order. Dessa var huru­vida affärssystemet klarar av att hantera införande av elektronisk produk­tions­order, hur spårbarheten av material skall bibehållas samt hur godsavdelningen skall få information om var detaljer skall förflyttas. För att besvara dessa frågor genomfördes 15 inter­vjuer med per­sonal från Siemens Industrial Turbo­machinery i Trollhättan, med per­sonal från huvud­kontoret i Finspång samt med personal från systemutvecklingsföretaget Else AB. Informationen från alla intervjuer samt studiebesöket på Volvo Aero Corporation belyser möjligheterna och problemen med att eliminera produktionsorderkorten och samman­ställ­des i en utvärdering. Denna utvärdering ligger till grund för kartläggningen av det fram­tida tillståndet, vilken visar ett tänkbart arbetssätt när produktions­order­korten tagits bort och ersatts med elek­tronisk produktions­order. Det som huvud­sakligen belyses i det framtida tillståndet är att affärssystemet är förberett för elek­tronisk produk­tions­order, dock rekom­men­deras införande av Warehouse Management System samt ett transportssystem. För att under­­lätta implementering av elektronisk produktionsorder skulle införande av ett web­baserat användargränssnitt vara lämpligt.

Google announced Google Maps Service on June 2005, and they developed and used many technologies to solve performance balance issue that long existing in client-server GIS system, including Ajax, map data pre-processing, and browser's cookies system. OGC defined this mechanism as WMS-C. However, Ajax is a technology based on HTML and javascript, when processing mass spatial data, it could be the bottleneck of performace. Therefore, using browser plugin to improve performance on data processing is necessary. This paper discuss on WebGIS related technologies, including CGI, Java Applet, Ajax, Flash, and compare their weakness and strength, then we focus on analyzing Java Applet, Ajax, Flash. Flash provides better graphics processing abilities, smooth interactive operation, fast display performance, make it suitable to be a WebGIS platform. Flash also support multi-platform and multi-browser, and it can be deployed with the same programming code. So this study chooses Flash and it's language Action Script to develop WebGIS client, backend with Mapserver to publish map data. We also use TileCache to pre-process aerial images of National Sun Yat-sen University into image tiles. Also it is overlaid with Kaohsung district map as vector data. The actionscript in the WebGIS core library include classes like Map, View, Layer, TMSLayer, FeatureLayer. It is fully implemented as a Flash based WebGIS system. Lastly, we compare the Flash-based MapServer system with MapServer only regarding to there performance and interactivity. On loading vector data, flash performance is nearly equal to Mapserver. When vector panned, flash performs better because flash uses pre-loading image tiles, but Mapserver renders repeatly after every move. On interactivity, flash can directly zoom the map with mouse wheel, and it can shorten user¡¦s operating time. And flash can also dispaly animations like fade in, out, etc. After removing one single layer, the map still preserve the other layers, so users can handle the map information more precisely, and can reduce the loading of servers.

Esta dissertação teve por objetivo analisar a influência do sistema de gestão de armazenagem (WMS) nas organizações usuárias estudadas, a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica realizada acerca do tema estabelecido e da análise de conteúdo das informações provenientes das entrevistas semiestruturadas efetuadas num estudo multicasos envolvendo duas empresas desenvolvedoras do software WMS e três organizações usuárias desta ferramenta. Dessa forma, foi possível identificar e analisar os pontos fortes e fracos do sistema, bem como as funcionalidades atualmente oferecidas ao mercado. Após a análise de tais informações, pode-se concluir que os fatores-chave para que ocorra uma implantação bem-sucedida do sistema são: o apoio da alta gerência, a realização prévia de um treinamento do pessoal envolvido na operação, o bom mapeamento e formalização dos processos organizacionais da empresa usuária, assim como a execução de um cadastro assertivo de produtos e endereços. Dentre os benefícios provenientes da adoção do sistema, além daqueles mencionados pela literatura, identificou-se a ocorrência de uma maior satisfação e motivação da equipe operacional, em virtude da mudança para uma rotina de trabalho mais organizada.

While memory is the faculty that affords us learning, adaptation and development, it is our executive function that oversees, manages and organizes these abilities. Still, there is limited research on the interaction between memory and executive function. The present study investigated this relationship through Principal Components Analysis. Performances on accepted measures of memory and executive function were evaluated in an adult clinical sample. Components were retained using three criteria: a predetermined four-component structure, eigenvalues exceeding a value of one, and parallel analysis. Results demonstrated that a four-component model most accurately represented the data. Analyses also revealed that measures of immediate and delayed memory did not uniquely assess memory but instead loaded onto components associated with visual and verbal processing. The findings were shown to be in support of the brain working in an integrated, systematic manner in which abilities hierarchically ascend from arousal to tertiary function. Consequently, several accepted measures of memory and executive function failed to measure cognitive capacity unique from visual and verbal processing, placing their construct validity and efficacy in question.

This thesis have been performed at Sweco Position in Jönköping. The work was split into two, where one part included an investigation regarding the possibility of developing a cross-platform GIS (geographic information system) with HTML5 and CSS3. A prototype would also be developed within this part. The second part included development of a cross-platform GIS for a client to Sweco Position. The client operates in the forest sector and had already an existing solution, with many problems. The client required an application with delimited functionality and which was not bound to a specific hardware. As the client users often were located in areas with limited Internet access, one additional requirement was that there would be some offline support. The students handle subjects within development of GIS, for example map projections, map services and mapping libraries. The application came to be developed in HTML5 and ASP.net. The mapping library that was used, was Leaflet 0.3.1. The result of this thesis is a cross-platform GIS with offline support. Examples of functionality included is to log positions manually, execute an automatic log function and support for managing which layers and logs that should be visible in the interface. / Detta examensarbete har utförts på företaget Sweco Positon i Jönköping. Arbetet var tudelat, där den ena delen omfattade en utredning kring möjligheterna att utveckla ett plattformsoberoende GIS(geografiskt informationssystem) med HTML5 och CSS3. För denna utredning skulle även en prototyp tas fram. Den andra delen omfattades av utvecklingen av ett plattformsoberoende GIS åt en kund till Sweco Position. Kunden verkar inom skogsbranschen och hade en redan befintlig lösning med många problem. Denne ville få fram en applikation med avgränsad funktionalitet och som ej heller var bunden till någon specifik hårdvara. Då kundens användare ofta befann sig i områden med tveksam uppkoppling, krävdes även ett visst offlinestöd. Studenterna går bland annat igenom delar som berör utveckling av GIS i form av kartprojektioner, karttjänster och kartkomponenter. Kartlösningen skulle komma att utvecklas i  HTML5 samt ASP.net. Den kartkomponent som användes i projektet var Leaflet 0.3.1. Resultatet av examensarbetet är ett plattformsoberoende GIS med offlinestöd. Exempel på funktionalitet är att logga manuella punkter, exekvera autologgning samt hantera visning lager och sparade loggar.
