Detta examensarbete utfördes på CG Drives & Automation (Emotron). Företaget satsar på att utveckla produkter och lösningar för att styra och övervaka elektriska motorer. En av deras mer populära produkter är den effektiva och energisparande frekvensomriktaren. Dess positiva egenskaper kommer även med en negativ effekt, nämligen en ökning av THD nivån i systemet. Med denna ökning uppkommer skadThis thesis was conducted on CG Drives & Automation (Emotron), a company that invests in developing products and solutions to control and monitor electrical motors. One of their more popular product is the effective and energy saving Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).

Michael Posner är en amerikansk psykolog som under tidigt 80-tal utvecklade ett numera välkänt experiment kallat Posner Paradigm, eller Posner’s Cueing Task. Experimentet är vida använt för att bedöma hur en deltagares uppmärksamhet kan påverkas av olika störningar och stimuli. Här utförs detta experiment på deltagare i en förstärkt verklighet.Posner Cueing Task is an experiment to investigate the eect dierent type of stimulis could have on the visual attention. This master thesis aimed to implement a Posner Cueing Task in an Argumented Reality using a integrated eye tracker. The thesis were divided into two distinct parts.

Det finns många olika typer sockermolekyler och de finns överallt i den levande världen. Olika typer socker fyller olika uppgifter, detta kan vara allt ifrån lagring av energi till att bygga upp strukturen hos växter och träd. Denna studie har ägnat sig åt att studera ett enzym, som påskyndar nerbrytningen av vissa sockermolekyler och klipper bort sockret galaktos från längre kedjor. Två olika typerThree clan-D α-galactosidases, BoGal36A (from Bacteroides ovatus), AnGal36A (from Aspergillus niger) from GH-family 36 and CtGal27A (from Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) from GH27, were studied for their transglycosylaton ability. All the investigated α-galactosidases were shown capable of catalyzing transglycosylation reactions with 4-Nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside (pNPαGal) as donor and methanol, pr
