The goal of the thesis Development of computer interface for a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter” is to develop a new and improved computer interface for a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter. The primary goal is to make the ultrasonic flow meter easier to use and get the flow rate-information in real-time. This thesis focuses on analysis, using reversed engineering, of an existing clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter. The goal ...

Extensible Markup Language (XML) has been the standard for persistent data storing and data interchange via the Internet, due to its openness, self-descriptiveness and flexibility. As such, more and more data have been converted into XML format or handled in XML format, and the chance for software developers to handle XML documents is getting higher. The following is a list of common ways of manipulating XML documents, 1. extracting desired data from the documents for further processing, 2. translating their ...

Many real-time systems have significant value in terms of legacy, since large efforts have been spent over many years to ensure their proper functionality. Examples can be found in, e.g., telecom and automation-industries. Maintenance consumes the major part of the budget for these systems. As each system is part of a dynamically changing larger whole, maintenance is required to modify the system to adapt to these changes. However, due to system complexity, engineers cannot be assumed to understand the system ...

Many industrial applications require accurate and rapid measurement of the 3-D shapes of physical objects. Representative applications of 3-D shape measurement include mechanical reverse engineering, 3-D digital replication, and part inspection. Traditional 3-D measurement techniques, such as coordinate measurement machines (CMM) and laser scanning, provide high accuracy but are generally slow and expensive. In recent years, shape measurement based on digital fringe projection (SMDFP) has been developed for non-contact shape measurements. Systems based on SMDFP are promising due to low ...

Reverse engineering, as the name implies is an engineering process going in reverse. The process has in resent times emerged from the shadows of engineering science to become common in many organisations today. To study engineering can be difficult, especially transforming theoretical knowledge into practice. To address this issue, Otto and Wood have developed a reverse engineering and redesign methodology, suggesting that it can be used as a tool in the process of learning mechanical engineering and design. The aim with ...
