B2B Customer Insight Tool: Automated Data Analytics to improve the Deal Analytics workflow

The Deal Analytics group of PricewaterhouseCoopers Amsterdam has requested a tool for automatising the business-to-business customer analysis. This analysis was performed manually, which left room for performance improvement. This report discusses how the a product was developed which automates the analyses After two weeks of initial research, a...

The Atmoscope: Using a Planet's Atmosphere as a Telescope

The Atmoscope is the idea to use the atmosphere of a planet as a telescopic lens. It uses the refractive properties of an atmosphere to converge light rays to a focal line. It has been hypothesized that using Earth’s atmosphere could, under favorable circumstances, yield an amplification of 55; 000 for a detector that has a surface area of 1m2....

Autonomous landing, storage and re-launching of a kite power system

The aim of this executive overview is to summarise the content of this extensive report regarding the design of an Landing, Launching and Storage (LLS) system for a soft kite Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) system.<br/>An innovative idea does not translate automatically to financial gain. With new technologies, such as AWEs it is crucial to assess...

Safety and Sensing: submodule of the Environment Observation Module

This bachelor thesis is about the design of the Safety and Sensing module, which is part of the Environment Observation Module for Deci Zebro robots. This Environment Observation Module is developed at the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) of Delft University of Technology. Zebro robots were not able to...

The Theorem of Reicht and Network Matrices

In 1969, the theorem of Reichert was formulated. Since then, two proofs have been found, both by Z. Jiang and Malcolm C. Smith, one of which in collaboration with Sara Y. Zhang. These proofs are based on the transfer functions of the electrical networks. <br/>The aim of this paper is to work toward a proof based on graph theory, linear algebra...

Constrained Codes for DNA-Based Storage Systems

Every day we produce an extremely high amount of data and a significant portion of this data is archival data. It is an important challenge to save this data in a cheap and environmentally friendly way. The current methods to save archival data are sufficient, but improvements can be made. Synthetic DNA based data storage is a great choice to do...

Nature's Amazing Mazes

In the field of ecology there exist models that accurately represent the real world.<br/>The client, Dr. Van de Koppel, asked the team to make a game that incorporates<br/>these ecological models in the gameplay, to create a more alluring interactive<br/>experience with these models. Thus the goal of this project was to make the<br/>game...
