Multimodal user interfaces or interfaces that involve the user with several senses could greatly improve usability and accessibility. A mobile phone contains several hardware technologies such as accelerometers, touch screens and vibrators that can be used to support a multimodal user interface, but these capabilities are seldom used. In this thesis multimodal interaction and how two-dimensional

Målet med examensarbetet har varit att skapa ett grafiskt gränssnitt som markant underlättar användandet av mobiltelefon för synsvaga personer. Utvecklingsarbetet har varit en iterativ process där de val som gjorts så snabbt som möjligt har testats mot användaren och i vissa fall även mot personer som anses vara experter vad gäller interaktionen mellan mobiltelefon och användare. Examensarbetet h

Uppsaten syfte var att undersöka vilka konsekvenserna skulle bli för bolagens intressenters verksamheter vid ett slopande enligt SOU 2008:32. De tre intressenter vilka undersökningen omfattade var kreditgivare, Skatteverket och revisionsbyråer. Undersökningen genomfördes utifrån ett induktivt angreppssätt med kvalitativa intervjuer. Jag genomförde sex intervjuer med respondenter från både Danmark

Vi har valt att undersöka vad det är för typ av värden som perifera områden som har uttalade natur- och kulturvärden lyfter fram, för att stärka sin turismnäring och vilka konsekvenser som uppstår i användningen av värdena för regionen/destinationen. Våra frågeställningar är följande: Vilka turistiska värden förmedlar och synliggör aktörerna på en turistdestination? Uppfattar vi att de värden som

IT Outsourcing (ITO) nowadays is a common initiative among companies across different business branches. Technological advancements have made IT a broad field of application which requires extensive operation by IT departments of any company. The companies need to remain competitive in the marketplace and in order to do that they have to free up their resources from routine IT tasks. This can be a

National parks have been a common way of protecting biodiversity, and the model has been spreading around the world since the first national park of the world, Yellowstone, was established in the U.S. more than 130 years ago. However, the concept of national parks has also been criticized, for example as representing a North-perception of the environment that is imposed on the South. The purpose o

There is a need to make the front and specially the window on the phone more resistant to scratches and marks. The main reason for this is that scratched windows will spoil the appearance of the complete phone and customer will perceive variations on visual aspect that could make them change the brand. The improved scratch resistance for the front will also improve the yield during the production

I föreliggande uppsats studerar jag en avhandling, De Erico IX sive Sancto, från 1700-talet. Avhandlingen handlar om Erik den helige och författaren heter Petrus Schvantesson Höök. Den framlades vid Uppsala universitet 1712 under professor Fabian Törner. Min undersökning är en jämförelse mellan den medeltida Erikslegenden och ovannämnda avhandling, där jag koncentrerat mig på att undersöka innehå

Ownership is said to be the key principle of efficient aid and crucial for a successful outcome of the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS). However, it is a contested concept and has been criticised for being vague and contradictory. This study discusses problems of developing cooperation and aid, with focus on the concept of ownership, and tries to define ownership and assess the state of ownership

The purpose of this Master’s Thesis was to examine different usage applications for animations and to develop one or several animated products for Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB. The overall objective was to develop an animated tool for information purposes and to investigate different interesting fields of application for the animated products. The goal was also to show the procedure of c

When developing a truck it is of critical importance that the brake system is reliable and effective. When testing new trucks or brake systems you need to collect as much data as possible. One important measurand when you evaluate a pneumatic brake system is the stroke of the actuator. This master’s thesis has two goals; one is to develop a device for measuring the stroke of a pneumatic actuator m

utföras med befintliga materialmodeller. Vid framtagning av en ny materialmodell för wellpapp behövs något att verifiera mot för att kontrollera att egenskaperna stämmer överens med verkligheten. För detta ändamål utvecklas inom detta examensarbete en infästning för dragprov av wellpapp. För att kunna utvärdera de olika framtagna förslagen har beräkningar i ANSYS utförts för att kontrollera hur sp

Problem Tetra Pak R&D AB needs to find working methods that can be Formulation useful in their effort to develop a more formal, efficient and effective engineering design process. Objective The overall objective of this Masters’ thesis is to present a formal description of the existing engineering design process for the Department of Machine Technologies at Tetra Pak Research & Development

This master thesis was conducted as a project for Faiveley Transport Nordic AB. The company’s main operations are development and assembly of complete brake solutions, brake products, wheels and couplings for rail vehicles. The background of this project was a well thought out idea of a new generation of friction brakes. The idea of V-brake is to complement or replace the block brake. A problem wi

The project started with a section called Clarification Of The Task. The purpose was to investigate how big of a problem domestic flooding is and what the cause is. This was done by gathering information from different organizations and companies. Once we knew the problems we tried to understand the water systems that are the main failure in households. Now when we know the problem and understand

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a generic and operative road map for implementing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and describe how this road map should be applied at Nowaste Logistics. Furthermore, the purpose is to carry out the RFID implementation at Nowaste Logistics according to the developed road map until a system design is selected and a system integrator is chosen

In the present work the task was to analyse and improve the Automatic Splicing Unit (ASU), which is manufactured for Tetra Pak by Sterners Verkstad. The work includes: • Calculation of the total cost and profitability in the present situation. • Proposal for reducing the manufacturing costs for the ASU. • Suggested improvement for making the assembling more cost efficient. • Proposal for how the p

Problems: The department of development at SAB WABCO Nordic AB in Landskrona is planning to expand their laboratory with a new fatigue testing machine. Such a machine will simplify testing of mechanical complex and partly/fully assembled products during development. Purpose: To produce a theoretical verified solution of a fatigue testing machine for SAB WABCO Nordic AB. Method: From demands, reque

Today, many bank offices refuse to handle coins. The coins are heavy, dirty and time consuming to administrate. It is required to automate the coin handling process in order to make the customers able to independently handle their coin transactions. There are already self service machines for depositing coins and for coin withdrawal. A step to further optimize the coin handling is to use the depos

The project task is to install an industrial robot and to construct peripheral parts to an automation cell for a masspectrometer (MS) on Protein Technology. The MS is used to determine the concentration of different masses in a sample. The mass spectrum can be used for disease detection by determine which proteins that healthy people got and compare it to diseased people. The finished MS cell cons
