Kumar, L. (author)This thesis details the design of a self-oscillating MEMS resonator as a pressure sensor. A bi-layer circular diaphragm with a single center perforation is used as a pressure sensitive membrane which measures the absolute pressure of the surrounding medium. A novel aspect of the proposed sensor is that the resonator is made to oscillate by an...master thesis 2014

Peltenburg, J.W. (author)Over the last decade, the costs of sequencing a human DNA molecule have been drastically reduced. It is therefore expected that the DNA sequence of patients will be used more often as a diagnostics tool in future clinical applications. However, DNA sequencers deliver millions of small fragments from random positions of the very large DNA string....master thesis 2014

Grijze, V.S. (author), Mostert, E. (author)In deze thesis kijken wij naar het balanceersysteem en de software voor een Battery Management System (BMS) voor een zonnewagen van het Nuon Solar Team. De batterij van deze wagen raakt na verloop van tijd uit balans, waarbij de cellen verschillend opgeladen zijn. Gevonden wordt dat dit komt door capaciteitsverschillen. Het blijkt voor deze...bachelor thesis 2014

Vasic, M. (author)With the use of multi-core architectures, the Network-on-Chip (NoC) became an important research topic. The most important benefit of a NoC compared to a communication bus is that it is scalable. The heart of the NoC is the router, which provides the communication between different computational units. This component is highly suitable to be a...master thesis 2014

Daverveldt, M.A.F.M. (author)This thesis describes the development of an LLVM-based compiler for the ?-VEX processor. The ?-VEX processor is a runtime re- configurable VLIW processor. Currently, two compilers exist that target the ?-VEX processor: a HP-VEX compiler and a GCC-based compiler. We show that both compilers have disadvantages that are very dif- ficult to fix....master thesis 2014
