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
Tetra Pak is developing a new flexible packaging machine called Tetra Pak C3/FLEX. With this machine it will be possible to manufacture packages of different volumes with the same cross sections. A volume change denotes that the repeating length of the packages changes. This results in a variation of the web velocity through the machine. When the web velocity changes, the emitted amount of heat to
We have conducted this master thesis for Heatex AB, located in Trelleborg. The company is the market leading OEM supplier of air-to-air heat exchangers. In a more and more competitive market, the demands on the design and the preparation for manufacturing are increasing making integration an important factor. Our work comprises the company’s design and preparation for manufacturing of cooling unit
Problem statement This thesis work was initiated since there are problems with the navigation devices currently used by SEMC, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB. The problems with the currently used navigation devices are lack of ability to keep dust out and they don’t meet the demands from future applications like scrolling through large amounts of data, image editing and advanced web browsin
The purpose of this project was to reduce the production cost of the drive unit from AB Ph. Nederman & Co product Flowline with 50 % to make it more competitive, and the result is this report as well as a fully operational prototype. During the process I have looked into all of the functions of the existing product and have tried to improve them. The function which I have put most time and eff
For many years the benefits of using stockings that exert a pressure on the legs, to prevent and treat a number of health conditions, have been well known. For just as many years carers and caretakers have been struggling to put on these stockings onto the legs. The high compression strength of the stockings makes it very difficult to put them on the way one does with ordinary stockings. Today, me
The costs for producing machines have increased a lot in the latest years. For Presona this has meant that production costs for their main waste compactor needed to be cut in order to keep the compactor in their production line. The waste compactor was initially developed sometime in the 1960s when the price for construction materials and assembly allowed Presona to develop the compactor using a t
Interference fit assembly is a state-of-the-art technology for mounting cylindrical shafts into bores. Due to its extreme cost-efficiency it is used even in high-tech applications such as one of Bosch’s gasoline flow controllers. The picture below shows the anchor-needle connection. Due to electromagnetic incitation the assembly oscillates over 55 times per second. In order for the assembly to wit
Detta examensarbete har gått ut på att utveckla ett nytt avlänkningssystem till en myntsorteringsmaskin. Det utfördes på uppdrag av SCAN COIN AB som tillverkar bl.a. myntsorteringsmaskiner. För att kunna öka prestandan i deras modernaste myntsorterare SC Active 2200 var de intresserade av att undersöka möjligheten att använda en ny teknik för avlänkning av mynt. Det befintliga avlänkningssystemet
