First steps in DC homegrid power management

A demonstration setup of the Tesla Powerwall has been installed by Eneco at the department of DCE&S at the TU Delft. This setup is used to investigate the functionalities of the Tesla Powerwall. As research is being done about transforming AC homegrids towards DC homegrids, it would be interesting to investigate how the Tesla Powerwall would...

Combining learning with fuzzing for software deobfuscation

Software obfuscation is widely applied to prevent reverse engineering of applications. However, to evaluate security and validate behaviour we are interested in analysis such software. In this thesis, we give an overview of available obfuscation techniques as well as methods to undo this effort through reverse engineering and deobfuscation. We...

Projectteam Zebro onboard navigation system: Part 1

This document describes the design process towards a functional Onboard Navigation System board, and the onboard communication with other modules in the Zebro Explorer. Furthermore the design process of the communication outside the Zebro consisting of a graphical user interface and the wireless communication is described.

Extending the scientific foundation of the DNV GL Health Index methodology for electrical power equipment

The DNV GL Health Index translates statistical, condition and utilization data of electrical power equipment into several asset representations that show technical asset health, including expected remaining lifetimes. These remaining lifetimes are used to determine the required action for the asset manager. In this research, a method was...

Noise minimization on houses around airports

This thesis was a combined project of the CWI (the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands) and the NLR (National Aerospace Laboratory of the Netherlands). In this thesis we examine noise pollution around airports. Given an airport we will consider the problem maximizing the number of flights, while...

Analyser for technical analysis indicators using historical intraday values

Technical analysis is widely used among traders, financial professionals and financial institution as a tool to identify trading opportunities. However, the academic world does not share this point of view, since they claim the evidence to promote the usability of technical analysis is sparse and inconsistent. Noticing this impasse we decided...

Geoptimaliseerde Chaos

Hoewel James Yorke niet de eerste was die het verschijnsel wat we nu kennen als chaos waarnam, was hij wel degene die het de naam chaos gaf. Yorke kreeg in 1972 het artikel "De- terministic Nonperiodic ow"van een collega. In dit stuk beschreef de meteoroloog Edward Lorenz een simpel systeem van vergelijkingen, gebaseerd op vloeistof dynamica met...

Performance Modeling of Stochastic Diagnosis Engines

Critical systems are complex, consisting of thousands of components, which can fail at any time. Diagnosing these systems within a certain time is highly desirable. Traditional diagnosis algorithms are mostly deterministic, able to find single faults extremely fast and double faults reasonably quick as well. However, these algorithms fail to...

Designing for TARA: The radar control unit

This thesis describes the work done on a control system for the Transportable Atmospheric RAdar (TARA), which is located at the Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmosperic Research (CESAR). It describes the way in which this radar control unit was implemented within the TARA, by making use of a high-level programming language. The control unit...

Real Time Eye Blink Detection using a Configurable Processor

This thesis describes the approach to create a real time eye blink detector using a new perception processor. Tried is to describe how the processor works and to find out possible fields of application. Supposed strength of the processor is it's speed combined with the possibility of changing the configuration at run time. Since the current...

Aspecten van de sturing van een automatische navigatietafel

De Nederlandsche Instumenten Compagnie 'Nedinsco' B.V. te Venlo heeft zich ten doel gesteld een automatische navigatietafel voor koopvaardijschepen te ontwikkelen. Een dergelijk instrument is door een koppeling met een elektronisch positiebepalingssysteem in staat om de positie van het schip door een lichtstip op de zeekaart te markeren. Daarbij...

De leesbaarheid van handgeschreven informatie bij overdracht via een kortegolf-verbinding

Het onderzoek beperkt zich tot één modulatiemethode om handgeschreven informatie over te brengen via een kortegolfverbinding. Het modulaat bestaat uit twee FM-gemoduleerde draaggolven. Na een literatuuronderzoek naar de aard en de grootte van de storingen die bij ionosferische verbindingen kunnen optreden, werd een experimentele verbinding tot...
