  6. 4. Gap discharge transducers applied to ultrasonic flow measurement

    Author : Kristoffer Karlsson; Per Lunde; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industriell elektronik; Industrial Electronics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the potential of the gap discharge transducer is investigated as both a sound pulse emitter and a sound pulse receiver in a gas flow measurement setup. The main objective is to use the gap discharge transducer as an integral part in a gas flow measurement system developed for harsh environments. READ MORE

  7. 5. Energy Harvesting for Smart-Internet-Connected Bearings

    Author : Fredrik Häggström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Electronics; Industriell elektronik;

    Abstract : With the number of interconnected devices, many of which being wireless, exceeding the human population, there is a need to power resource-constrained devices through means other than disposable batteries. Harvesting ambient energy from the vicinity of the device is one solution. READ MORE
