For the master of Engineering Design at UiT, the arctic university of Norway, campus Narvik, a master assignment is being executed as a conclusion to the study. In this case the department of industrial automation education had an elevator model design assignment that could be done by an Engineering Design student. This report describes a summary of the design process that has been executed and the ...

In this Thesis, a small, low-cost, portable and easily deployable ground station was built, to track and receive signals from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather satellites (series 15, 18 and 19) in VHF and UHF bands, process and convert these to images are presented. A ground station, capable of receiving reasonably good quality images from NOAA weather satellites was ...

Logic is widely held to be a normative discipline. Various claims have been offered in support of this view, but they all revolve around the idea that logic is concerned with how one ought to reason. I argue that most of these claims—while perhaps correct—only entail that logic is normative in a way that many, if not all, intellectual disciplines are normative. I also identify some claims whose ...

With the growing aquaculture, improved management of the environmental, logistic-managerial, social, and economic aspect are vital to preserving sustainability in the industry. The dissertation addresses the potential processing of the fish waste in aquaponics (a combination of two highly effective production technologies: hydroponics and recirculating aquaculture). Involving a suggestion for ...

A small and medium sized enterprise (SME) with an assembly to order manufacturing system (ATO-MS) depending on a global supply chain has especially challenges when it comes to secure the quality. The parts procured from a global supply chain represent a big amount of value invested in to the short line of the MS. Depending on the definition of quality from the suppliers, how can the company react ...

This thesis explores various charging standards for electric vehicles with the goal to find a standard that can be implemented in an electric maritime vessel (EMV). Combined charging system 2.0 (CCS2) is selected and the standard is explained in detail along with the necessary power electronics. Several Matlab and dSPACE simulations is made to test the charging and communication. A laboratory ...

This thesis will investigate the effects of an energy storage system incorporated into the submodules of a modular multilevel converter connected to a HVDC line. A simulation has been made to see the effects of energy storage on the transmission of power from a generator connected to the grid via a HVDC line with two MMCs connected in each end, one of which incorporates the energy storage system.

Denne rapporten presenterer design og simuleringer av en toakset solcellerigg. Denne bestpunktsporingen riggen fungerer utelukkende basert på utgangseffekten til solcellepanelet montert til det. Det bruker ikke noen solsensor til å orientere solcellepanelet. Posisjonen til solen er beregnet basert på tid og stedsinformasjon. Siden dette solpanelet vil bli montert her på UiT, Norges Arktiske Universitet, ...

With today's storage of information moving from paper to physical hard drives and the cloud, safety of these new information platforms are of great importance. Today an average server suffers several instances of abuse weekly, or even daily. The purpose of this project is to design a system for detecting abusive data traffic coming to or from a server by using machine learning algorithms. Also of ...

This thesis describes results of study into development of a Visual Speech Therapy tool for therapy of speech impediments. It describes what Visual Speech Therapy tools are, their benefits, and what tools are available on the market. Main focus being therapy for children and teenagers with dysarthria, hearing problems, and functional speech impediments. After introducing the therapy tools it presents ...
