Electromagnetic Evaluation and Optimization of a Combined Inductive Power Transfer and Inductive Healing Road

Electrical vehicles (EVs) can be charged wirelessly with an inductive power transfer (IPT) system that uses a magnetic field to deliver power to the EV. Such a system could be embedded in the highway to charge EVs while they are driving. The magnetic field of the IPT system is created using coils that are exited with a high frequency current....

Exoskeleton Monitoring System

Project MARCH is designing and building an exoskeleton for paraplegic people in order for them to walk again and participate with it in the 2016 Cybathlon in Zürich. The exoskeleton has many sensors, which acquire data from their surroundings. Project MARCH required a system, which allows for wireless external monitoring of the exoskeleton.

A 1 GSa/s Deep Cryogenic, Reconfigurable Soft-core FPGA ADC for Quantum Computing Applications

Analog interfacing is the only way to communicate with a quantum processor, whether it is applying qubit operations or reading their quantum states. There exist other applications where analog interfacing is abundant, e.g. sensor networks, automotive, industrial control, etc. In those applications the use of FPGAs is continuously growing,...

Real-time haptische terugkoppeling aan schaatsers: Gebruik makend van een draadloze actuatormodule

De GonioTrainer is een draagbaar apparaat dat schaatsers helpt bij het verbeteren van hun schaatstechniek. In deze thesis wordt een manier besproken om het huidige prototype van de GonioTrainer te verbeteren en real-time terugkoppeling te geven naar de schaatser, middels een trilmotor die draadloos wordt aangestuurd. Belangrijke eigenschappen...

Vantage Practice

In baansporten is de laatste jaren een ontwikkeling gaande om tijdregistratie te digitaliseren door het gebruik van transponders en detectielussen in de baan. Daardoor zijn nieuwe mogelijkheden ontstaan om ook naast het wedstrijdmoment de sportprestaties in te zien. Gedurende dit project is gewerkt aan een applicatie die op een overzichtelijke...

“What do they say about us on Twitter?”: Hybrid sentiment retrieval for organisations

We conclude this report with a system design and proof-of-concept to show how an adaptable hybrid sentiment classification system is able to improve sentiment analysis for organisations. GreenOnline, a service company in the field of customer services, wants to be able to quantify sentiment for organisations precisely, to create new services for...

Do The Math

Do The Math is a game, developed in a BSc programme, by two students. The goal is to enable people to practice their math skills. The main focus of the project was the scalability of the backend systems.

Feature Fusion for Efficient Content-Based Video Retrieval

Abstract—Content-based video retrieval is a complex task because of the large amount of information in single items and because databases of videos can be very large. In this paper we explore a possible solution for efficient similar item retrieval. In our experiments we combine relevant feature sets together with a learned Mahalanobis metric...

Design and implementation of a bi-directional 3 phase converter for a 30kW range extender application

Increasing fuel prices and political pressure to reduce the pollution in the mobile transport lead to new technologies for electric transport. PEEC-Power B.V. is developing a range extender for parallel hybrid vehicles and wants to contribute to the transition towards electric driving. The range extender consists of three subsystems: a...

3D Scenario Editor

Het doel van ons bachelorproject was om de mogelijkheden te onderzoeken voor een intuïtieve 3D editor. Deze editor moest de beperkingen van een 2D editor verhelpen. De door ons gevonden oplossing diende te worden ondersteund met een implementatie in EVE, het visualisatieplatform van TNO. Nadat het Plan van Aanpak2 geschreven was zijn we meteen...

Noise Analysis of an Ultra Wide Band FMCW Ranging Receiver

This thesis, analyses the performance of an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) ranging system in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The distortion of the UWB FMCW signal’s phase, due to noise, deteriorates its frequency spectrum components. This corrupts the multipath delay information and...

Customer Involvement in Distributed Requirements Engineering

The graduation project is run as an internship at software company Exact. The company wants to reduce the time to market for their products. To achieve this objective, Exact wants to adopt agile development and is aiming towards the implementation of a development process that is both globally distributed and Scrum-like. The project’s goal in...
