The energy independent flow meter with remote reading
Šindelář, Jindřich ; Růžek, Václav (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the design of a self-powered sensor for measurement of water flow rate and temperature in water pipelines. The key block of this thesis is the construction of an electric generator powered by excitation with turbulent flow. The generated voltage should power the sensor's circuits and allow water flow rate measurements. Throughout the development, three prototypes of generators powered by turbulent flow were created. Turbulences were not created by an insertion of a bluff body but by inner geometry of the pipeline elements. Maximum power of 10,66 uW was generated at flow rate of 8 m3/h. Afterwards, a prototype of water flow rate and temperature sensor was assembled. Energy self-sufficiency of the device at common flow rates was not achieved using the chosen procedure. The designed flow rate measurement method is suitable for an approximate flow rate estimation.

Control unit for automatic laboratory manipulation system
Vávra, Tomáš ; Růžek, Václav (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
This document deals with devices which are used for the automatic Gram staining. The document starts by a research with the aim to discover existing devices and to compare them to the concept of the device developed by company Biovendor. There is theoretically and then practically dealed with the methods of the rotor imbalance detection and measurement of water-level. The Practical part of this document describes the development of the control unit with the microcontroller ARM Cortex-M3 which will be used for the prototype development of Biovendor’s device. The Last part describes measurement of imbalance of three different rotors with the aid of the control unit.

Pre-compliance Electromagnetic Immunity Tests
Růžek, Václav ; Polívka, Milan (referee) ; Soldán, Josef (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
The doctoral thesis deals with aspects of pre-certification tests of electromagnetic immunity in the automotive industry. The thesis analyses commonly used test methodology and mentions that standardized electromagnetic immunity tests performed by certified testing centres, which are extremely expensive and represents a considerable time load in the development of the vehicle. The thesis therefore proposes innovative ways for replacement of certification tests with an acceptable level of uncertainty. Key methods are seen in numerical simulations and modified test procedures when the vehicle is exposed by electromagnetic field. The proposed methods are deeply explored and their benefits are discussed and support by number of experiments. The results obtained with the pre-certification methods are objectively compared with the results of the certification measurements by FSV method. The work brings a proposal for a comprehensive test methodology including a discussion of risks and uncertainties with related issues.

Automation control of measurement setups by web interface
Živný, Jaroslav ; Růžek, Václav (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
This master thesis describes issues of measurement workplaces with accent at automatic control of them over web interface. The interfaces, which allow us to control measurement devices, are one by one described. Additionally there are described technologies which were used for realization of web application, as ASP.NET, AJAX, AngularJS, and relation databases. Last but not least there is described solution of web application which allows to users to do automation measurements from anywhere by web browser.

Dart control sensing unit for steel tip
Růžek, Václav ; Louda, Jan (referee) ; Musila, Pavel (advisor)
Problematics of sensing position metal darts in targets is new and in this time is no too explored problem. This work analyses accessible method, what can realize this scan. There are lot of accessible methods like best applicable reflect method inductive, based on change inductivity and method capacitive, based on change capacities tabular condenser. Capacitive sensing should be realized by the plate couple, where stiring electrode supplies signal.Sensing electrode receiving this signal. On the basis changes thorough electrostatic field measures change capacities. By the changes capacities fit algorithm we can evaluate, whether is in sensing field visible foreign subject – dart. For capacitive method is also designed driving and scanning unit. Various method were to be laboratory tested and was achieved satisfactory results.

Design and implementation of TEM cell
Bednarský, Vojtěch ; Růžek, Václav (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
The purpose is to design and make a TEM cell, which may often be referred to in publications as a Crawford chamber, after the inventor. The operating frequency is specified from 100 kHz to 400 MHz and is suitable for a test device of maximum size (0,3(l) x 0,3(w) x 0,1(h)) meters. I will first describe the basic methods of electromagnetic susceptibility testing, and electromagnetic interference measurements, and then mention the issues and motivations for the fabrication of the closed TEM cell. Computer simulations were performed in the numerical computing software CST Microwave Studio. The calculated dimensions were used as a starting point for simulation. Dimensions from the simulation were used for the fabrication of the closed TEM cell, which showed similar results as the results of the simulations.

Local flood early warning system
Svoboda, Luděk ; Špaček, Jiří (referee) ; Růžek, Václav (advisor)
The aim of this Master's thesis is to design a local flood warning system. The system consists of two basic types of units. The first unit is placed in the field usingsensors and evaluates the presence of water in an otherwise dry area. In the event of flooding sends a warning message using wireless technology. The second unit evaluates the warning messages and informs the personabout the situation via text messaging. Outdoor equipment is fullyautonomous and permanently placed in an outdoor environment. The system is designed based 8-bit microcontrollers. The main parametersinclude low power devices, mechanical durability and reliability.

Motorcycle on-board computer
Hadwiger, Tomáš ; Vorel, Pavel (referee) ; Růžek, Václav (advisor)
My thesis deals with the construction of on-board computers for a motorcycle. The scheme is based on the parameters of onboard computers appearing on the market. In comparison with the models, which are offered commercially it also allows measurement of the motorcycle’s fuel consumption and location by using GPS. On-board computer measures speed, traveled distance, motor speed and engine temperature. It is controlled by a pair of eight-bit AVR microcontrollers. The measured data are showed by a graphical LCD display with touch screen.

Measurements of electromagnetic interference in anechoic and semi-anechoic chambers
Deneš, Roman ; Růžek, Václav (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis is focused on a detailed analysis of the mechanisms of electromagnetic wave propagation in anechoic chambers. The analysis takes into account the influence of the measurement distance, setup of anechoic chamber and other parameters. Furthermore, the work deals with a validation of both types of anechoic chambers and examines the impact of selected parameters on the measurement results. Based on the theoretical analysis and practical measurement, the comparation between semi and fully anechoic chamber, or a three and ten meter measuring distance was made. This thesis also contains a detailed analysis of sources of the uncertainty.

Krolák, David ; Růžek, Václav (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
This master‘s thesis deals with design and realisation of a control module for automated measurements of the modern contactless inductive position sensors by a mechanical rotational system consisting of a DC motor and an incremental quadrature encoder. The thesis presents methods of driving DC motor and recording of measured data by a microcontroller. The thesis presents a communication protocol between the control module and personal computer via USB interface. A part of this thesis is also to develop a control software and firmware, including the measurement and evaluation of properties of the control module.
