The MLD massage is a key component of a lymphedema patient’s treatment. Currently, research is ongoing manifesting a transition from system care to self-care by designing robotic sleeves that are able to perform an effective and safe MLD massage enabling the patient to gain a sense of empowerment and ownership over their treatment and time. This...

Ring-shaped structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes like condensin and cohesin extrude loops of DNA. It remains, however, unclear how they can extrude DNA loops in chromatin that is bound with proteins. Here, we use in vitro single-molecule visualization to show that nucleosomes, RNA polymerase, and dCas9 pose virtually no...

The kinetics of the transformation of metallic Fe to the active Fe carbide phase at the start of the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction were studied. The diffusion rates of C atoms going in or out of the lattice were determined using 13C-labeled synthesis gas in combination with measurements of the transient 12C and 13C contents in the carbide by...

Background: The development of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) have come a long way over the past decade. However, most improvements are mainly focused on gait performance. Hereby, other tasks are overlooked. This is also stated by AFO- users. AFO-users want an AFO that can be adjusted to suit dierent tasks. An adjustable AFO...

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs), as eco-friendly alternatives to Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), have attracted increasing attention of researchers in the past decades. Unlike cement, which requires calcination of limestone, AAMs can be made from industrial by-products, or even wastes, with the use of alkali-activator. The production of AAMs...

This report presents the design of a 2-DOF compliant mechanism, capable of describing a closed spatial surface. The mechanism is designed with the intended application as leg in an omnidirectional walking machine. Therefore, a conceptual design of a way of coupling a multitude of these mechanisms is also presented. By means of a kinematic...

A particular design choice in origami engineering is to use curved creases. By folding a curved-crease design, the sheets connected to the crease line have to bend, allowing for novel properties unachievable with straight-crease origami. This thesis explores the design of curved-crease-folding mechanisms with integrated planar bending actuators....

The current work presents a statically balanced system with novel design, which incorporates compression springs as a positive stiffness and magnets as a negative stiffness. The mechanism varies the force in the positive stiffness elements from zero to maximum. In this way, the balancing system can be used as a force amplifier. The goal of the...

Bascule bridges can be designed with two operating mechanisms in order to open and close the bridge. Due to certain effects a difference in force per mechanism can occur. Therefore the Dutch standard for movable bridge, the VOBB, states to use a force distribution of 1/3 - 2/3 between the mechanisms. This means that both the mechanisms are...

Concrete structures are often reinforced with steel. In order for the reinforcement to take over tensile forces, concrete has to crack. Through such cracks, water and compounds that are harmful to concrete can enter. This can cause durability issues like leakage, concrete degradation and reinforcement corrosion. In situ repair of cracks is often...

The aim of this thesis is to execute a bottom-up design of the intrinsically self-healing nanocomposites. We briefly introduced the self-healing materials in chapter 1, covering classification and basic self-healing mechanism. In chapter 2, we have synthesized polyborosiloxane (PBS) according to the last century recipe as the self-healing...

The conversion of a Rigid Body Parallel Manipulator to a Compliant Joint Parallel Manipulator introduces compliance in the system. The configuration of the compliant manipulator will differ from the configuration described by the rigid-body kinematics due to the off-axis compliance, and hence off-axis deflections, of the Compliant Joints. In...

The RooT Reverse Tilt Suspension platform is an integrated suspension mechanism which delivers a unique experience: “like riding a magic carpet, playful, fluent and self-balancing”. With their innovation RooT wants to bring a positive impulse to green mobility on the electric scooter market. The key to RooT’s innovation is a rod mechanism which...

Redevelopments of Chinese inner-­?city station areas introduced both new transport infrastructures (high speed railway, urban mass transit system, etc.) and real estate projects to station vicinities during the past decades. However, existing station areas are isolated from the rest of the city, and seldom urban activities take place in station...

This thesis considers the problem of designing a mechanism that efficiently regulates imbalances on the energy grid. Brokers aggregate supply and demand on the energy market by buying and selling power ahead of time. Mispredictions create discrepancies between supply and demand and need to be resolved. With the increasing usage of sustainable...

Benzyl alcohol oxidation was carried out in toluene as solvent, in the presence of the potentially inhibiting oxidation products benzaldehyde and benzoic acid. Benzoic acid, or a product of benzoic acid, is identified to be the inhibiting species. The presence of a basic potassium salt (K2CO3 or KF) suppresses this inhibition, but promotes the...

Currently, the electricity market is shifting from fossil fuels to renewable resources. The lack of controllability of the output of solar cells and wind turbines conflicts with the requirement that suppliers match their production with the demand at all times. Our solution is to drop this requirement and instead use flexibility on side of the...

From the 80s, with the rapid development of the Internet, videoconferencing made significant progress and played an important role in economics, education and remote healthcare. A lot of applications and models appeared. More and more companies and people get used to communicate through a video conferencing service. Therefore, it is important to...
