The feasibility of implementing a hydraulic load-holding solution in a BorgWarner all-wheel-drive (AWD) coupling was investigated in this work. There exist many sophisticated valve designs intended for load holding applications, but this work focused on simple solenoid valves to reduce cost and complexity. To evaluate the feasibility of the intended load-holding solution, a leakage and pressure dr

For many years, indigeneity has been conceptualized as rural, making Indigenous communities and people in cities invisible globally. For the Sámi people, Europe’s only indigenous people, security is mainly understood as physical-centering extraction and environmental degradation.

The circulating fluidised bed boiler (CFB) consists of developing the combustion of a mass of fuel, in this case biomass, within a bed of particles in suspension, which have been fluidised by an ascending air current. Combustion occurs in a controlled manner throughout the entire furnace at temperatures around 850 ºC, which is lower than in conventional boilers, reducing NOx emissions. However, NO

The use of an object-oriented approach in software engineering has proven to be successful for many years, but in the fields of mechanics and automation it has been ignored for long. The Tetra Pak Carton Bottle automation team believes that a switch from a function-oriented architecture to an object-oriented one would be of benefit not only to them but also any department which is involved with de
