This paper presents the technological developments and the policy contexts for the project “Autonomous Robotic Sea-Floor Infrastructure for Bentho-Pelagic Monitoring” (ARIM). The development is based on the national experience with robotic component technologies that are combined and merged into a new product for autonomous and integrated ecological deep-sea monitoring. Traditional monitoring is ...

This work attempts to model the dynamic behavior of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) shell structure subjected to water shock wave to improve the results presented in the study by Khawaja et al., 2014. In the previous study, the real physical problem was simplified by decoupling the fluid and the structural phenomena, applying the recorded experimental fluid pressure load to the CFRP shell ...

The number of good sites in less exposed locations for aquaculture farming is limited. Trends are now that the fish cages are increasing in both width and depth as well as more weather-exposed locations, are taken into use. As the net cages continue to increase in size, so does the material costs. The design of the sea cages should be modified for safe and reliable use in remote offshore locations. ...

The project objective is to investigate into luminescent coating materials that can be used in marking the roads in high-north. The idea of the project is not entirely new, and efforts have been worldwide to find an energy efficient solution to the street lights. Earlier work conducted in the Netherlands showed quite promising results. However, the challenges include weatherproofing the coat such ...

This report presents the design and simulation of code and carrier tracking system for a GNSS receiver. The GNSS receiver processes the signal sent by satellites in space. These signal contain carrier wave signal, ranging code and navigation data in encrypted form. To demodulate the navigation data, the processing block should accurately track the phase of incoming code and the frequency of incoming ...

This paper describes a framework for simulating household appliances in Simulink. Typical Norwegian household equipment have been analyzed based on their characteristic behavior, to establish the requirement for synthesizing and recreating their current waveform, harmonic currents and phase shift. Both detailed simulation of the current waveform and RMS currents for simulation over longer time periods ...

Oppgaven retter fokus mot hvordan vi tradisjonelt planlegger fremdriften i byggeprosjekter i dag, og hvordan digitale verktøy som 4D BIM klarer å effektivisere planleggingen. I tillegg vil også Lean filosofien befinne seg i ulike planleggingsmetoder, man ønsker å skape verdi både for selskapet, kundene og alle andre deltakere som er involvert i prosjektet. Dermed ønsker man å skape flyt i produksjonen ...

Denne rapporten er utarbeidet i WP1 og WP2 i prosjektet "Fleksibilitet i fremtidens smarte distribusjonsnett - FlexNett" (2015-2017). FlexNett-prosjektet har som målsetting å bidra til økt fleksibilitet i fremtidens smarte distribusjonsnett gjennom å demonstrere og verifisere tekniske og markedsmessige løsninger for fleksibilitet på ulike nivå i nettet til nytte for ulike aktører. <br> Målsettingen ...

Heat engines, such as internal combustion engines, have significant adverse effects on the environment due to their heat and harmful emissions. In addition, they are dependent on energy from fossil resources, which are depleting rapidly and they are not being properly utilized due to the relatively low efficiency of heat engines usually expressed by Carnot's efficiency. The low temperature direct ...

Nowadays the concept of Industry 4.0. and the relating intelligent manufacturing system are getting more and more current and well-known. In the past years the outstanding development of different areas such as information technology computer science, machining, robotics and so on, made possible a comprehensive transformation of the manufacturing systems. Present paper aims to give a general overview ...
