Modeling of a Twisted and Coiled Polymer Muscle

A new type of polymeric artificial muscle was recently discovered. This muscle is based on twisted and coiled polymer fiber and is actuated thermally. It has interesting properties, such as low costs and high work densities. Based on fabrication methods, two variations can be considered. The autocoiled variation has a larger load capacity and...

Datagraphics creation for the modern web

This document contains the findings of a feasibility study of an application enabling infographic designers to convert vector drawings into interactive, data-driven web applications, a.k.a. datagraphics.

The Unified Anatomical Human: Model-based Visualization of Heterogeneous Anatomy Data

In the course of anatomical research, anatomists acquire and attempt to organize a great deal of heterogeneous data from different sources, such as MRI and CT data, cryosections, immunohistochemistry, manual and automatic segmentations of various structures, related literature, the relations between all of these items, and so forth. Anatomical...

The use of an Inductive Wireless Power and Data transfer system as sounding rocket umbilical

The objective of this thesis is defining the feasibility of using an Inductive Wireless Power and Data transfer system (IWPD) as sounding rocket umbilical. An Umbilical is used to supply power and communicate with the rocket in the last moments before launch. The power is used to keep the batteries fully charged and the communication is used for...

This document gives an overview of the progress and achievements of R. Spliet and S. Smit during their internship at SKION, including all delivered documentation.

Improving Ultra Fast Charging of LiFePO4 batteries at low temperatures with AC heating

The speed at which electric vehicle batteries can be charged usually depends on the available charging power. At low temperatures however, another bottleneck appears when the battery is unable to accept all available charging power. The charging speed is then limited by the battery. To fix this, the battery could be equipped with a heater so...

Cannibal Collaboration Platform

The demands for the quality and scale of videogames have become so high in the last few years, that game studios are having increasing difficulties meeting them, unless the development process is changed. The goals of this project are to create a platform aimed at supporting a new iterative game development paradigm, improving collaboration...

Privacy en telecommunicatiediensten: Van Ma Bell naar Big Brother?

Er blijken in de telecommunicatie twee gebieden te onderscheiden met betrekking tot de privacy. Het eerste gebied heeft betrekking op de inhoud van de communicatie. Het tweede gebied heeft betrekking op het feit dat de communicatie tot stand is gebracht. In dit tweede gebied, waarop in dit verslag de nadruk ligt, betreft het gegevens over de...

Reliability of a rural telephone system

In het kader van het projekt Delft Rural Telephony System een studie doen naar de bedrijfszekerheid van telefonie-apparatuur in rurale gebieden. Onderzocht moet worden of de bedrijfszekerheid van de apparatuur inderdaad erg laag is en welke oorzaken hiervoor verantwoordelijk zijn. Er moet een oplossing gevonden worden om de bedrijfszekerheid van...

Synchronisatie van PCM-centrales

Gevraagd wordt een studie te maken van de problematiek, samenhangend met de onderlinge synchronisatie van centrales, in een geïntegreerd (PCM-)net. Nagegaan dient te worden welke synchronisatiemethode het meest passend is bij de voor Nederland gekozen centraleopzet. Een model van het synchronisatiesysteem in hardware of software dient...
