• Ultrasound sensor for biomedical applications 

      Øberg, Helge (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-12-15)
      Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is an abnormality that causes urine to flow back from the bladder to the kidneys, which may cause renal scarring and kidney damage. A non-ionizing and non-invasive VUR diagnostic technique, based on microwave hyperthermia, is under development. The possibility for improved hyperthermia efficiency and patient safety through implementation of ultrasound transducers is the ...
    • Unsupervised segmentation of submarine recordings 

      Kjøtrød, Tor (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-06-01)
      The thesis focuses on the unsupervised segmentation of submarine recordings collected by the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) using hydrophones. These recordings consists of various mammal species, along with other phenomena like vessel engines, seismic activity, and moving sea ice. With sparse labeling of the data, a supervised learning approach is not feasible, necessitating the application of ...
    • Validating Uncertainty-Aware Virtual Sensors For Industry 4.0 

      Mohammad, Gutama Ibrahim (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-01-26)
      In industry 4.0 manufacturing, sensors provide information about the state, behavior, and performance of processes. Therefore, one of the main goals of Industry 4.0 is to collect high-quality data to realize its business goal, namely zero-defect manufacturing, and high-quality products. However, hardware sensors cannot always gather quality data due to several factors. First, industrial 4.0 deploys ...
    • Videoanalyse av termo-fluidale egenskaper til bolus for bruk innen hypertermisk behandling av brystkreft 

      Kvitberg, Jill-Iren Karlsen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-09-15)
      Varmeterapi (hypertermi) er en ny behandlingsmetode for krefttyper som ligger overfladisk plassert i kroppen. Prinsippet består i å varme opp vev til en temperatur på 42-45 ̊C, noe som øker raten for celledød i vevet. En multilags likeformet applikator er utviklet spesielt for dette formålet. En av bestanddelene i denne applikatoren er vannbolusen. Dens hensikt er å sørge for kontrollert temperatur ...
    • Wideband Self-Interference Cancellation Using Multi-Tap Filter in Radar Front End 

      Heiskel, Bendik (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-12-14)
      The largest hurdle in full duplex wireless systems is the self-interference introduced by the transmitted signal into the received signal. In multi antenna systems this interference is caused by the direct coupling between the transmitting and receiving antennas. In systems where the transmitter and receiver uses the same antenna the interference is caused by inadequate isolation between the ...
    • Wind resource assessment using mesoscale modelling. A case study at the potential wind farm site Rieppi 

      Blæsterdalen, Torgeir (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-06-01)
      The growing wind power industry, increased occurrence of extreme weather, and the need for becoming independent of fossil fuels motivate the research on accurate simulation of near-surface wind. The aim of this study is wind resource assessment at the potential wind park site Rieppi, using two on-site measurement masts, simulations from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, and ERA-Interim ...
