A 9-band WCDMA/EDGE transceiver supporting HSPA evolution
- 2011
-
In: [Host publication title missing]. - 0193-6530. ; , s. 366-368
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The future of cellular radio ICs lies in the integration of an ever-increasing number of bands and channel bandwidths. This paper presents a transceiver together with the associated discrete front-end components. The transceiver supports 4 EDGE bands and 9 WCDMA bands (l-VI and Vlll-X), while the radio can be configured to simultaneously support the 4 EDGE bands and up to 5 WCDMA bands: 3 high bands (HB) and 2 low bands (LB). The RX is a SAW-less homodyne composed of a main RX and a diversity RX. To reduce package complexity with so many bands, we chose to minimize the number of ports by using single-ended RF interfaces for both RX and TX. This saves seve ral package pins, but requires careful attention to grounding. The main RX has 8 LNA ports and the diversity RX has 5, with some LNAs supporting multiple bands. On the TX side, 2 ports are used for all EDGE bands and 4 for the WCDMA bands.

Development of an electro-chemical accelerated ageing method for leaching of calcium from cementitious materials
- 2016
-
In: Materials and Structures. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1359-5997 .- 1871-6873. ; 49:1-2, s. 705-718
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- To facilitate the long term durability predictions of nuclear waste repositories, acceleration methods enhancing calcium leaching process from cementitious materials are needed, even though mechanisms not necessarily comparable to those predominant in a natural leaching process may be developed. In the previously published acceleration methods the samples are very small, which limits further physical or mechanical tests. In this paper, a new acceleration method based on electro-chemical migration is presented. The method although not driven with the same kinetics as in natural leaching, was designed in such a way that unnecessarily destructive by-effects could be minimized while promoting a higher leaching rate for a sample size suitable for further testing the mechanical and physical properties. It is shown that approximately 1x10^6 C of electrical charge per paste specimen of size Ø50 x 75 mm (approximately 230 g) is required to leach out the total amount of Portlandite. The chemical and mineralogical properties of leached samples are characterized by various techniques. It is concluded that aged samples are comparable to those leached in a natural leaching process as both are characterized by a layered system comprising an unaltered core delineated by total dissolution of Portlandite followed by a progressive decalcification of the calcium silicate hydrate gel.

Proactive Assembly Systems – realizing the potential of human collaboration with automation
- 2009
-
In: Annual Reviews in Control. - : Elsevier. - 1367-5788 .- 1872-9088. ; 33:2, s. 230-237
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Manufacturing competitiveness frequently relies on company ability to rapidly reconfigure their assembly systems. This paper introduces assembly system proactivity, a concept based on interrelated levels of automation, human competence, and information handling. Increased and structured human involvement contributes to increased system ability to proactively address predicted and unpredicted events. Correct involvement of human operators will utilize the combined potential of human and technical capabilities, providing cost-efficient assembly system solutions. The ProAct project is developing proactive assembly system models and evaluates proactive, feature-based solutions. Focus is on realising the potential of cost-efficient and semi-automated systems with relevant human involvement, i.e. highly skilled operators who add flexibility and functionality.

Snow grooming using machine guidance for piste management processes : Case study: Ormberget ski piste
- 2013
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The snow is an increasingly precious commodity to the ski industry's production of pistes. To preserve this commodity is the basis for economic production. The wear on the groomed snow consists primarily of two reasons: skiers and melting. A slope that is optimally processed will last longer and require less maintenance. In addition to this obvious that maintenance must be planned based on where wear has taken place there is an additional planning variable, namely time. Timing is of utmost importance when it comes to snow as a material. A process model will be presented covering a systematic approaches how road construction technologies can be adapted to the snow grooming process. The expected results are a process model which can be used in order to optimize the snow grooming management in order to extend the skiing season. There is possibly two ways of doing this. Firstly to optimize the snow mass haul management process during the skiing season. Secondly re-build the different piste off season to create better environmental conditions during season. This study consists of four kinds of data. Laser scanned data for 3D terrain modeling of ski piste (ground) and collected data by snow groomer for 3D terrain modeling of ski piste during the objective period of investigation. The differences between 3D terrain models by laser scanning and snow groomer is representative of snow depth for corresponding day. Furthermore, in order to verify the method, snow depth and snow surface are measured by group of students from Luleå University of Technology.

A membrane anchored DNA-based energy/electron transfer assembly
- 2008
-
In: Nucleic acids symposium series (2004). - 1746-8272. ; :52, s. 691-691
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this work the trapping and conversion of visible light energy into chemical energy is examined using a supramolecular assembly. This consists of a light absorbing antenna and a porphyrin redox centre both covalently attached to a DNA strand, which in turn is bound to a lipid membrane. The excitation energy is finally trapped as a benzoquinone radical anion that could potentially be used in subsequent chemical reactions.

On the inclusion of sustainability and digitalisation in quality management : an overview from past to present
- 2020
-
In: Total Quality Management and Business Excellence. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1478-3363 .- 1478-3371. ; , s. 1-23
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this study is to explore whether trends in sustainability and digitalisation from the 1980s until today have left any significant practical or epistemological footprints on the quality management paradigm. The study design consists of a mixed-methods approach that applies a data-mining methodology and content analysis to the digital archives of eight scientific journals: six within the quality management (QM) domain and two with a focus on operations management (OM). The data set contains an unbroken time series of over 12,000 research paper abstracts, the first of them published in 1980, giving the study a coverage of almost 40 years. The findings show that sustainability came onto the scholarly scene in 1996 and has since become an increasingly popular research area. In regard to digitalisation, the story is quite different, as the concept is currently absent from the scholarly QM and OM literatures. However, a search for information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) revealed that these topics have been gaining attention since the 1980s. However, it was found that QM research only addresses one part of digitalisation, omitting several interesting dimensions. One example is that the QM and OM literatures address IS mainly in relation to standardised guidelines and business processes within organisations. At the same time, we found a handful of studies combining QM and topics related to modern digitisation, like social media.

The role of SDN in Application Centric IP and Optical Networks
- 2016
-
In: 2016 European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC). - : IEEE. - 9781509028931 - 9781509028948 ; , s. 138-142
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Transport IP/optical networks are evolving in capacity and dynamicity configuration. This evolution gives little to no attention to the specific needs of applications, beyond raw capacity. The ACINO concept is based on facilitating applications to explicitly specify requirements for requested services in terms of high-level (technology agnostic) requirements such as maximum latency or reliability. These requirements are described using intents and certain primitives which facilitate translation to technology specific configuration within the ACINO infrastructure. To support this application centric approach, SDN must have a key role in this evolution. There are representative use cases where SDN gives an added value when considering not only the network but also the application layer.

Vertical InAs Nanowire Wrap Gate Transistors on Si Substrates
- 2008
-
In: IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. - 0018-9383. ; 55:11, s. 3037-3041
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report on InAs enhancement-mode field-effect transistors integrated directly on Si substrates. The transistors consist of vertical InAs nanowires, grown on Si substrates without the use of metal seed particles, and they are processed with a 50-nm-long metal wrap gate and high-kappa gate dielectric. Device characteristics showing enhancement-mode operation are reported. The output characteristics are asymmetric due to the band alignment and band bending at the InAs/Si interface. The implemented transistor geometry can therefore also serve as a test structure for investigating the InAs/Si heterointerface. From temperature-dependent measurements, we deduce an activation energy of about 200 meV for the TnAs/Si conduction band offset.
