“Pattern beings” deals with decoration, ornaments and patterns as omnipresent beings around us. Despite the fact that modernism tried to exclude decoration from our existence (headed by Adolf Loos’s Ornament and Crime essay), I was brought to this topic by repeated tendencies to decorate and adorn objects for daily use. “Pattern beings” is also about searching for relations between the object, mat

Although we in the rich countries have a very high material standard and can buy everything we need or wish research has shown that we feel less happy and have an increasing level of mental ill-h

Undersökningens syfte är att testa och analysera två tekniska indikatorer, RSI och glidande medelvärde, inom teknisk analys enligt en kortsiktig strategi. Avsikten är att avgöra om de tekniska indikatorerna generar positiv avkastning för en daytrader, samt om korrelation mellan index kan vara en indikator till hjälp för att förbättra avkastningen.

Material contributes to a large share of construction costs and as prices are increasing companies must seek creative solutions and find new approaches in order to find ways of saving money. As a part of a strategic development Peab, one of Sweden’s leading construction- and contractor companies, is making an effort to streamline their purchasing system using the purchasing tool PIA, which digital

This examination work presents a proposition of a conceptual design of a demographic database for CIDS in Nicaragua. Furthermore, an implementation of this database is described. Finally a description of a method to transfer data from the current database to the new is given, together with a smaller implementation. CIDS – Center of Investigation of Demography and Health is located in Nicaragua, Le

Wet room - demands and rules This paper explains how the legislative system is built concerning wet rooms within the construction industry. Legislation is developed by all involved authorities. The state has created laws and regulations through parliament and government. These laws are used as a foundation for Boverket, who has produced BBR, which specifies the minimum requirements for the propert

Parkeringsfrågan som under lång tid har varit en viktig del av stads- och trafikplanering i många stora städer både i Europa (London, Manchester etc.) och i USA har visat sig spela en stor roll inom områden med trafiksystem. Parkeringsfrågor har under åren fått en allt större betydelse för miljön och trafiken i tätbefolkade orter. Affärsverksamheter och butiker i städer konkurrerar med butiker uta

The master thesis was carried out on SSAB in Oxelösund where the international steel company has its main office for cooled steels. SSAB has a world-leading position within steel where abrasion resistance and wearability is crucial. SSAB has earlier developed a computer-based model that is calibrated after real results and can simulate how strains and stresses deploy in the plates when they are ex

Parallel kinematik machines are nowadays an important branch of investigation in the robotics field. Its design allows for high speeds, accelerations and tool forces as well as makes them ideals for faster cycle times and high repeatability works. TAU is a parallel kinematic machine from ABB Company with three degrees of freedom. Therefore, it can be positioned anywhere of the workspace but not or

The goal of this thesis was to design a Multiple Hull Valve (MHV) with the purpose to increase the safety and decrease the amount of hull penetrations in a submarine. The safety is improved by a double shut of function where the outer plate valve is closed by the pressure difference in case of failure. A great advantage with the MHV is that the systems in an early stage are protected from both mar

This report is a result of a Master Thesis made at Volvo 3P and the Department of Advance Engineering and Concepts. The thesis is a part of the education in Mechanical Engineering at the Department Design Sciences, for the Division of Machine Design at Lund University. Volvo 3P is involved in a project regarding a new patented manufacturing method that is under development. The manufacturing metho

The goal of this project was to create a banknote deposit machine or Cash Deposit Machine (CDM) for Retail Cash Systems (RCS) at SCAN COIN AB in Malmö. The CDS was to be based on the currency counter SC1510 Euro Value. The idea was, since the technology was already there, in the SC1510 E V, to put it in a box and, with all transport and storage inside solved, a CDS would have seen the light. I wan

This Master Thesis has been performed as a development project for Asko Cylinda AB in Vara, Sweden. The company develops, manufactures and markets conventional tumble dryers among many other products. An important part of a tumble dryer is the filter holder with belonging fuzz filters mounted on the door of tumble dryer’s. The fuzz filter’s objective is to filtrate the hot drying air that pass thr
