  1. 1. Developing a Test Method to Evaluate the Blackout Effect of Uncoated Curtains at Varying Angles

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Sara Muminovic; Christina Lindén; [2023]
    Keywords : Blackout effect; blackout curtain; uncoated woven curtains; angle interval; light transmission; light box; light diffuser; microscopic image analysis;

    Abstract : This study aimed to explore the integration of varying angles in small-scale measurements and assess the light transmission performance of uncoated curtains. A total of four curtains were evaluated: blackout curtain samples 1 and 2 had a weft satin structure, while daytime curtain samples 3 and 4 consisted of a twill structure. READ MORE

  3. 2. Community Continuity Management : An Exploration of the Energy Production and Use of a Fictional Stockholm Neighbourhood in a Crisis

    University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

    Author : Nils Brattgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Business Continuity Management; Community Continuity Management; Energy Community; Energy Resilience; Energy; Resilience; Preparedness; Adaptation; Wellness; Wellbeing; Blackout; Power Failure; High Impact Low Probability; Crisis; Disaster; Kontinuitetshantering; Community Continuity Management; Energigemenskap; Energiresiliens; Energi; Resiliens; Beredskap; Anpassning; Välmående; Välbefinnande; Strömavbrott; Elkris; High Impact Low Probability; Kris; Katastrof;

    Abstract : In an increasingly interconnected, and electricity-reliant world, households are asked to build up their resilience to crises. Local, distributed electricity production within a microgrid with capability to operate disconnected from the larger grid has been shown to be an effective tool for increasing power system resilience in the past.

  5. 4. Improving the guidance, navigation and control design of the KNATTE platform

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Lars Lundström; [2023]
    Keywords : Multisensor Data Fusion; Nonlinear Kalman Filter; Neural Network;

    Abstract : For complex satellite missions that rely on agile and high-precision manoeuvres, the low-friction aspect of the space environment is a critical component in understanding the attitude control dynamics of the spacecraft. The Kinesthetic Node and Autonomous Table-Top Emulator (KNATTE) is a three-degree-of-freedom frictionless vehicle that serves as the foundation of a multipurpose platform for real-time spacecraft hardware-in-the-loop experiments, and allows emulation of these conditions in two dimensions with the purpose of validating various guidance, navigation, and control algorithms.
