Increased Displacement in Magnetomotive Ultrasound Imaging by Adding a Homogeneous Magnetic Field

Ökad undersökningsdjupet i magnetomotoriskt ultraljud med hjälp av ett homogent magnetfält. Medicinska bilder spelar en stor roll för att ställa diagnoser och styra terapi. Olika discipliner som radiologi, endoskopi eller mikroskopi används för att skapa bilder på människan, alla med olika syften. Diagnostiskt ultraljud är en av dessa bildgivande metoder. En så kallad prob sänder ut ljud i olika Magnetomotive Ultrasound, MMUS, is an imaging modality used to reveal a magnetic contrast agent using an external time-varying inhomogeneous magnetic field. By this, the particles are set in motion, and the motion is detected with ultrasound. The technique has applications in cancer detection but is limited in penetration as the magnetic field decreases rapidly with distance. Instead of increasing

The propensity to patent an innovation in Japan

Patents have long been considered an essential intellectual property mechanism in Japan. Foreign firms have simultaneously struggled with obtaining patents and market shares in Japan. Therefore, the incentives for Swedish innovating firms to patent their innovation at the Japanese Patent Office are plenty and can facilitate market integration. This thesis explores the historical development of Swe

Life Cycle Assessment of Electric Road Systems - Climate impact in comparison with battery electric vehicles, biogas vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles

En tredjedel av Sveriges årliga växthusgasutsläpp kommer idag från transportsektorn, vilket innebär att stora förändringar behöver ske om målet om nettonollutsläpp vid 2045 ska nås. En viktig åtgärd som diskuteras i denna kontext är en ökad elektrifiering och en lösning som har möjlighet att bidra i denna omställning är elvägssystem, där elfordon laddas dynamiskt. En typ av konduktiv elvägsteknik One third of Sweden's total annual greenhouse gas emissions originate from the transport sector today and great changes are thus needed in order to reach the net zero emission target by 2045. One of the most important measures discussed is an increased electrification of the transport sector and a solution with potential to contribute to this transition is electric road systems (ERS), where ve
