Denna uppsats undersöker möjligheten att erhålla skydd för objekt med teknisk funktion utanför patenträtten. Det är patenträtten som vanligtvis förknippas med teknisk funktion baserat på dess ämnessfär och faktiska kvalifikationskrav. Varumärkesrätten har ett väldigt strängt förhållningssätt mot att tillåta att tekniska funktioner erhåller varumärkesskydd. Det finns ett absolut registreringshinderThis thesis examines the possibility of obtaining intellectual property protection for objects with a technical function, beyond the patent rights. The patent is commonly associated with technical function due to its subject and qualification requirements. The trademark law has a strict approach in terms of including technical function in the scope of protection. Through an absolute ground of refu

Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) arise in our power system due to fluctuationsin the earths magnetic field, which commonly is caused by space weather events. Thesecurrents may result in core saturation for transformers that get exposed. The purposeof this project is to clarify the possibility of reconnecting the delta connected tertiarywindings in order to mitigate the saturation that is cau

Syftet med studien är att undersöka om historisk handelsvolym innehåller information om framtida aktieavkastning och i förlängningen om en högvolymspremie existerar.

Punktlighet och förseningar inom järnväg är något som står högt upp på agendan i dagens samhälle. Med en infrastruktur som är i ett stort behov av underhåll samtidigt som trycket på klimatsmarta transportlösningar bara ökar, blir punktligheten och framkomligheten inom järnvägen avgörande. Med en total punktlighet på ungefär 90% finns det mycket att göra. En av järnvägens infrastrukturproblem är spPunctuality and delays within the railway system are of utmost concern in today’s society. With an infrastructure in a dire need of maintenance and the increasing pressure for environmentally friendly transportation solutions, punctuality and accessibility within the railway system becomes crucial. With an overall punctuality rate of approximately 90%, there is much to be improved. One of the prob

The adoption of sustainable practices has increasingly become crucial for companies seeking to meet their stakeholders’ expectations. Supply chain management can play a pivotal role in driving sustainability initiatives, offering opportunities for companies to integrate digital technologies and optimize their operations for sustainable stewardship. This study investigates how the integration of di

New perspectives on how to best market your brand or products is an ever changing subject. A seemingly unnoticed development in the eyes of ordinary people has been that marketing psychology has become more and more potent in the industry of marketers and brand developers. Benefitting from unconscious behaviors and manipulation has created tools for companies and organizations that this paper is s

This paper examines long-term interest rates and fiscal liabilities within EMU in the context of the recent sovereign debt crisis; where Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain faced rising interest rates in contrast to the rest of the EMU. An assessment of the short and long-run properties of long rates, fiscal deficits and government debt are estimated for 11 EMU countries in the time span 19

Intressenthantering är ett område som i många byggprojekt är essentiella för att projektet ska bli lyckat, ändå är det ett område som emellanåt negligeras av både projektledning och entreprenör. Att ha missnöjda intressenter som är negativt inställda till projektet kan leda till ökade klagomål och eventuella störningar i byggandet vilket kan drabba både budget och tidplan. Denna fallstudie har st

This paper faces the problem of audio synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), with an attempt to create novel, original high-quality samples of drums that could be used within the realm of music production. My results show that it is possible to create high-quality drum samples with architecture such as DCGAN (Deep Convolutional GAN) and that using causal and dilated convolutions is

Soundcloud is the worlds third largest streaming platform for music. Despite this, the website is riddled with spam comments that disturb user experience. This spam diers much in format and content from the email spam that we are used to seeing, and that most classic spam lters have been developed to detect. On soundcloud, 90% of spam comments are written by users wanting to self-promote their own

Vid överprövning av upphandlingar gör förvaltningsrätten en skadeprövning för att bedöma om ett eventuellt fel har lett till skada för leverantören. Skadan som åberopas behöver ha en koppling till felet, och det finns även en plikt etablerad av högsta förvaltningsdomstolen för leverantörer att uppmärksamma upphandlande myndigheter när de upptäcker fel under upphandlingens anbudstid. I domen som HFIn the context of public procurement appeals, Swedish administrative courts conduct a damage assessment to determine whether a potential breach of the procurement law will justify action from the court. To be actionable, the damage must be linked to the error. Moreover, the Supreme Administrative Court has established a duty for persons participating to notify the procuring entity of any irregular

Purpose: The relationship between inconspicuous consumption and consumers’ self-identities within luxury hospitality services has been largely overlooked, which calls for further investigation. Consequently, this study aims to explore the understanding of the relationship between the phenomena of inconspicuous luxury consumption of hospitality services and individuals’ self-identities. Methodolog

This study aims to summarize some of the climate change related challenges for city centers in Sweden by using the city Helsingborg as an example. The approach is wide and includes three different dimensions: City planning, shopping in city centers and mobility. By doing so the reader will see climate change related challenges from different perspectives which all affect each other. Shopping and m

Sjuksköterskor ställs inför svåra situationer när de ska bedöma svårt sjuka patienter, ta beslut om åtgärder och veta när hjälp behövs.Om patienten vid bedömning visar kritiska värden kontaktas MIG för konsultation. Syftet med studien var därför att belysa hur sjuksköterskor upplever konsultationerna. En intervjustudie med 15 sjuksköterskor genomfördes och innehållsanalys enligt Burnard användes.

A convolutional code can be used to detect or correct infinite sequences of errors or to correct infinite sequences of erasures. First, erasure correction is shown to be related to error detection, as well as error detection to error correction. Next, the active burst distance is exploited, and various bounds on erasure correction, error detection, and error correction are obtained for convolution

Density functional theory (DFT) thermochemistry of 3d transition-metal complexes is well-known to be sensitive to the amount of exact Hartree-Fock exchange incorporated into the exchange-correlation functional. For example, relative energies of different protonation states of iron-sulfur complexes may vary by hundreds of kJ/mol among different DFT methods. In the present study, we examine the rela

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate how metastases in the seven topographical regions of the simplified peritoneal cancer index (sPCI) affect the survival of patients treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal (CRC) or appendiceal cancers.Methods: Data was collected retrospectively from patient rec

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) is a major method for investigation of electronic structure and dynamics, with applications ranging from basic atomic physics to materials science. In RIXS applied to inversion-symmetric systems, it has generally been accepted that strict parity selectivity applies in the sub–kilo–electron volt region. In contrast, we show that the parity selection rule i

We discuss γ∗γ∗ → ηc(1S), ηc(2S) transition form factors for both virtual photons. The general formula is given. We use different models for the cc¯ wave function obtained from the solution of the Schrödinger equation for different cc¯ potentials: harmonic oscillator, Cornell, logarithmic, power-law, Coulomb and Buchmüller-Tye. We showed some examples of wave functions in the Light Front represent

In this paper several rate R = 2/5 convolutional encoding matrices with four states are used to illustrate how unequal error protection can be achieved for the different positions in the code sequences as well as in the information sequences. Free output- and input-distances and active burst output- and input-distances are computed. Typically a single code cannot combine a large free output- or in
