Since around 2015 there has been a huge vinyl revival going on world wide. The group which is responsible for this resurgence is mainly gen- eration-z. When you ask someone of this generation what they associate with this format you will often hear the word “nostalgic”. This “nostalgic” revival comes, however, with consequences. The material vinyl record is made of is an highly unstable mater

The growing demand for network cameras to support real-time image processing and machine-learning applications has created a need for low-power solutions. Although technology scaling makes complex computations feasible, voltage scaling is limited, leading to higher power density and dark silicon problems. One potential solution is the use of Approximate Arithmetic Circuits (AACs). This effectively

Från Nya Zeeland så har en borrkärna från den största och yngsta vulkanen i Aucklands vulkaniska fält (Auckland volcanic field, AVF) extraherats för att undersöka vulkanfältets förflutna. Detta fält består till största delen av basalt och började bildas för ca 200 000 år sedan och består av ca 50 utdöda vulkaner. Den största av dessa vulkaner, Rangitoto utgör 41% av fältets vulkaniska material och

This master thesis aims to investigate the positioning accuracy improvements of device localization by the implementation of AI/ML functionalities. In this project, we use the fifth-generation(5G) New Radio (NR) system and focus on indoor factories. This setup held under study is a relevant scenario for the Industrial Internet of Things within the industrial sector (IIoT), as the specific characte

In this work, an active learning pipeline is presented that allows for comparative tests between 3 different types of data scoring methods, uncertainty selection, diversity selection, and loss selection. Tests and parameter sweeps indicate that hyperparameters like reshuffling and early stopping are required to ensure fair comparisons. We then apply our pipeline to test some naive scoring methods

Electric bicycles have over time become a common method of transportation. With a rapidly increasing user base and expensive prices, there is also an increasing demand for safety and insurance. Bike safety can be used to notify the bicycle owner of a potential theft, or to locate the position of the bike when it is lost. Improving the autonomous vehicle’s position tracking when its location is unk

Paper pulp is commonly used for packaging, either molded into a shape or rolled into sheets of paper and turned into cardboard. With international shipping and our general consumption, paper and cardboard from packaging is all around us. The recycle rate of the material is high compared to many other materials, but there might still be more potential for all the used packaging than being toss
