An inertial measurement unit based method to estimate hip and knee joint kinematics in team sport athletes on the field

Current athlete monitoring practice in team sports is mainly based on positional data measured by global positioning or local positioning systems. The disadvantage of these measurement systems is that they do not register lower extremity kinematics, which could be a useful measure for identifying injury-risk factors. Rapid development in...

A Responsible Internet to Increase Trust in the Digital World

Policy makers in regions such as Europe are increasingly concerned about the trustworthiness and sovereignty of the foundations of their digital economy, because it often depends on systems operated or manufactured elsewhere. To help curb this problem, we propose the novel notion of a responsible Internet, which provides higher degrees of...

Increasing the load capacity of planar ferrofluid bearings by the addition of ferromagnetic material

Ferrofluid pocket bearings are a type of bearing that are able to carry a load using an air pocket encapsulated by a ferrofluid seal. Previously designed ferrofluid bearings show the great potential of the stick-slip-free and low viscous friction bearings, however until now the load capacity is limited. In this article a method is presented...

PULSE: Integrated Parametric Modeling for a Shading System: From Daylight Optimization to Additive Manufacturing

This paper presents a parametric approach to an integrated and performance-oriented design, from the conceptual design phase towards materialization. The novelty occurs in the use of parametric models as a way of integrating multidisciplinary design constraints, from daylight optimization to the additive manufacturing process. The work focuses...

Topology Optimization using a Topology Description Function Approach

During the last two decades, computational structural optimization methods have emerged, as computational power increased tremendously. Designers now have topological optimization routines at their disposal. These routines are able to generate the entire geometry of structures, provided only with information on loads, supports, and space to work...

Reclaiming land from urban traffic noise impact zones, "The great canyon".

Sustainable building implies efficient land use in cities, and elsewhere. Zones with high noise impact along urban or suburban main roads have been used only for low-grade buildings, because of practical or legal limitations. Bordering these roads with continuous residential buildings ('canyonisation') can be considered as a way to reclaim these...
