The amount of electrical loads and the complexity of the electric system in a vehicle is increasing at the same time as the allowed development time is getting shorter. Possibilities to predict the electromagnetic behaviour is therefore of great importance. In this paper, a method for determining the parasitic components affecting crosstalk in a cable harness is proposed. The method suggests that

The aim of the study was to investigate whether the maternal country of origin affected the risk for perinatal mortality and to determine its relationship to risk factors.

Pheromones are chemical signals, that is, carriers of information between individuals within a species. Pheromones induce a physiological or behavioral response in the receiving individual, and often play a crucial role in mate finding and other interactions among animals. Most pheromone research has been done with insects, and in particular with species regarded as pests. For these, application o

This paper presents an analysis of an island-operated distribution network with distributed induction generation under different fault conditions. In the first part, the behavior of an island-operated induction generator connected to a distribution network is presented for short-circuits at different locations in the network, with varying values of fault resistance, initial loading conditions and

In this work we present a new low-power medium access scheme for sensor-type networks specifically with low traffic intensity. We call the proposed scheme DCW-MAC where ultra-low-power wake-up receivers are combined with optimal duty-cycled listening. First we introduce a framework for the analysis of energy consumption of the studied network type, then we use it to optimize the MAC scheme to achi

Requirements Engineering and Testing are considered inseparable and together enable successful projects. One could make a statement that serious negligence of any of the two will bring catastrophic consequences for the project, delays, failures and unhappy customers. Thus, alignment and cooperation between the two are not only recommended but highly required for contemporary complex software and s

The effect of pre-chamber volume and nozzle diameter on performance of pre-chamber ignition device in a heavy duty natural gas engine has previously been studied by the authors. From the analysis of recorded pre- and main chamber pressure traces, it was observed that a pre-chamber with a larger volume reduced flame development angle and combustion duration while at a given pre-chamber volume, smal

We analyze the channel capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems in frequcncy selective channels, with channel knowledge at the transmitter side. An optimum transmission scheme uses Shannon's principle of waterfilling jointly in the frequency and the spatial domain. However, we show in this paper that the largest gain by using waterfilling resides in the spatial domain, and that th

The input device for Remote Gaming has matured from a simple pointing device to a wireless console and recently even motion sensors are added. Similar motion sensors have already been integrated in camera’s to provide for image stabilization. In the cellphone, global motion is foremost determined through image processing. The paper extends this concept to support gaming, while aiming for a low-com

cute pain services were introduced more than 20 years ago as an organizational attempt to meet shortcomings in postoperative pain management. The acute pain service concept received immediate and strong support from a large number of medical and health-care organizations around the world. Literature reviews indicate that 30–70% of North-American and European hospitals, depending on size and academ

A method is described for identifying simultaneous signals from different transmit antennas in multi-antenna sounders. Multiple orthogonal signals are produced from one pseudorandom code by using it to modulate RF carriers at pre-calculated offset frequencies. Although their frequency spectra are interleaved, the spectral lines from different transmitters are separable by Fourier transform at the
