- We propose a method to perform set-based state estimation of an unknown dynamical linear system using a data-driven set propagation function. Our method comes with set-containment guarantees, making it applicable to safety-critical systems. The method consists of two phases: (1) an offline learning phase where we collect noisy input-output data to determine a function to propagate the state-set ahead in time; and (2) an online estimation phase consisting of a time update and a measurement update. It is assumed that known finite sets bound measurement noise and disturbances, but we assume no knowledge of their statistical properties. These sets are described using zonotopes, allowing efficient propagation and intersection operations. We propose a new approach to compute a set of models consistent with the data and noise-bound, given input-output data in the offline phase. The set of models is utilized in replacing the unknown dynamics in the data-driven set propagation function in the online phase. Then, we propose two approaches to perform the measurement update. Simulations show that the proposed estimator yields state sets comparable in volume to the 3 sigma confidence bounds obtained by a Kalman filter approach, but with the addition of state set-containment guarantees. We observe that using constrained zonotopes yields smaller sets but with higher computational costs than unconstrained ones.

Wood densification processing for newly engineered materials

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Wood is a renewable, bio-based material with a mixture of different properties and qualities, used in numerous applications. Beside many species with high wood qualities several species suffer due to a number of disadvantages, where low hardness and abrasive resistance are characteristic for low-density species. This paper presents examples of on-going European research projects and industrial processes mostly related to wood densification methods. Wood densification is a classical thermohydro-mechanical (THM) wood treatment process, through which density is increased by mechanical compression of wood perpendicular to the grain, by impregnation of cell lumens or cell walls with solutions or melted substances (resins, waxes), or by a combination of both. The purpose is to produce newly designed and engineered materials and products with new property profiles, which would potentially find new markets. In general, the THM processes consist of three stages: plasticization of the wood cells, followed by the actualcompression, and finally solidification of the compressed wood in order to prevent elastic spring-back and the moisture-induced set-recovery. The wood densification process refers but is not limited to solid wood and might apply to whole wood pieces, or to local areas within given pieces only. Another THM method is the mechanical compression of wood parallel to the grain, which leads to a product with high flexibility. A European wood research network, represented by the authors of this contribution, has extended experience in many wood modification processes, as demonstrated through ongoing researches and case studies in this paper

Pilotmontage av nytt fasadelementsystem i trä - Fasaden i staden Snabb Snygg Smart
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report is about the evaluation of the pilot installation of a new wooden façade element system that was mounted on two four-story timber buildings. Technical solutions were evaluated, mounting time, moisture and deformations were measured, and interviews were conducted with builders on-site. The mounting started in April 2020 and was followed-up with measurements and interviews during 2020. The two buildings were built by Lindbäcks Bygg AB on Porsön in Luleå, Sweden and the developer was Lindbäcks Fastigheter AB. The façade elements were prefabricated by Lindbäcks Bygg AB in the factory at Öjebyn in Piteå Sweden. The mounting work went well, and the builders were positive about the facade system. When the builders had learned how to carry out the work, it took three minutes per façade element, which is equivalent to 0.9 m2/min. This is faster than the traditional installation of a facade on a construction site. The assembly around the windows took about 10 minutes, which is about the same time as in traditional assembly. During 8 months of measurements the average moisture content (MC) behind the façade elements was about 20% during winter (low T, high RH) and about 11% during summer. That is within expected values due to the annual variation in climate. The deformation was measured with laser scanning and gave a deviation of ±1 cm from a perfect plane, indicating a better dimensional stability than traditionally mounted wooden facades. From a working environment perspective, the assembly work was quieter as no nail guns were needed and the builders did not need to handle individual panel boards. Significantly less nails and screws were needed compared to traditional assembly. Experience from the assembly show the possibility for improvements. The construction platform was not optimal for loading elements during assembly. When the builders had gained some experience of the system, the limitation was to get the elements up quickly enough. A fast and efficient assembly requires a detailed planning in the design phase, and the elements should be numbered in a logical way and sufficient packaging needs to be secured. The promising results show the potential for a future way to manufacture and mount wooden facades. “The facade of the city Swift Stylish Smart” is a project within the strategic program Bioinnovation founded by Vinnova (Sweden’s innovation agency), Energimyndigheten (Swedish Energy Agency), Formas (A Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development), and the industry partners.

The potential of citric acid and glucose enhancing the reaction of wood with bicine and tricine

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To improve the resistance of wood to biological decay the Maillard reaction between introduced amines and wood cell-wall polymers can be utilised. However, initial studies in wood modification showed almost complete leaching of bicine and tricine from treated wood and the loss of beneficial effects. The objective of this study was to assess whether possible reactions of bicine or tricine with wood could be further enhanced and reaction products stabilised through the addition of glucose and/or citric acid. Thus, Scots pine sapwood specimens were impregnated with tricine or bicine, with or without glucose and citric acid, and then heated to a temperature of 160°C. The dimensional stability, degree of chemical leaching and mechanical properties were assessed. Overall, it was concluded that neither the presence of glucose nor citric acid did appear to enhance the reactivity of tricine or bicine. Anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) of 50% was observed for combined treatments of bicine/tricine and citric acid but the leaching resistance originated mainly from citric acid and glucose, with no indication for the retention of bicine or tricine. The presence of citric acid led to a strongly reduced modulus of rupture.

Smartphone Teledermoscopy Referrals: A Novel Process for Improved Triage of Skin Cancer Patients.
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Acta dermato-venereologica. - : Medical Journals Sweden AB. - 1651-2057 .- 0001-5555. ; 95:2, s. 186-190

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this open, controlled, multicentre and prospective observational study, smartphone teledermoscopy referrals were sent from 20 primary healthcare centres to 2 dermatology departments for triage of skin lesions of concern using a smartphone application and a compatible digital dermoscope. The outcome for 816 patients referred via smartphone teledermoscopy was compared with 746 patients referred via the traditional paper-based system. When surgical treatment was required, the waiting time was significantly shorter using teledermoscopy for patients with melanoma, melanoma in situ, squamous cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ and basal cell carcinoma. Triage decisions were also more reliable with teledermoscopy and over 40% of the teledermoscopy patients could potentially have avoided face-to-face visits. Only 4 teledermoscopy referrals (0.4%) had to be excluded due to poor image quality. Smartphone teledermoscopy referrals allow for faster and more efficient management of patients with skin cancer as compared to traditional paper referrals.
