This thesis aims to address the water challenges posed by increased floods and droughts caused by climate change through the implementation of a water buffersystem. The buffer should...

A True Rail-to-Rail Input and Output Amplifier

Operational amplifiers are basic building blocks of an analog system. As a system is only as good as its building blocks. There exists a constant need for developing a high-performance amplifier. Especially if they are configured as a buffer for analog front-end applications, as the system performance is highly dependent on the quality of input...

The effect of push-pull rod on the dynamic behavior of movable bridges

In the Netherlands the design of a movable bridge and machinery part is based on the design standard NEN 6786:2001 (2001). When the bridge is in motion the calculations for the machinery part focus on the dynamic loads (torque) generating at the motor shaft. The calculation of these loads is carried out using tabulated formulas of the standard,...
