van Gend, Thijmen (author)Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) have historically been used for safeguarding individual privacy from both public and private interference. But lately, tech companies have started using PETs as one instrument for the expansion of their power over different actors, as appears to be unfolding in the case of Amazon’s Sidewalk service: a United...master thesis 2024

Slangen, Lenneke (author)This research explores the entanglement of relations of bodies and cities, in the heterogeneous contemporary city. Wherein, the othering of bodies has become an increasingly (problematic) complexity, due to its relations with obsolete embodiments of (historic) notions of power. The research question that is investigated, questions how we can...master thesis 2022

Schouten, Bram (author)Today’s renewables, wind and solar power, have a fluctuating nature, making the grid less stable.However, with the increasing share of intermittent sources of renewable power, novel options have to be created to stabilize the power grid. One of these options is energy storage via the conversion of excess power to hydrogen, during periods of high...master thesis 2020

Aquilina, Emily (author)Through the synthesis of a speculative design project I explore the meditative process of working together with earth forces to create alternative ways of valuing the Arctic and its critic yet fragile environments. Emerging as a response to the changing global trends of climate change, territorial claims and rapid melting of ice in the Arctic...master thesis 2019

van der Werf, Ids (author), Jordan, Sebastian (author)This document describes the design process the prototype of a measurement light bulb which is able to project spherical harmonics of orders 0-1-2. Photographs of these projections can be combined to represent many light distributions. The measurement light bulb can be used in the field of research focused on the computation of the illumination...bachelor thesis 2019

Jongeling, Alexander (author)In the world of DC railway trains nowadays, asynchronous-traction machine with traction controllers, i.e. an inverter with variable output frequency, is implemented. This controller changes the incoming DC voltage into an AC voltage of a variable frequency and RMS amplitude. The disadvantages of switching inverters, compared to a pure sine wave...master thesis 2017

Van den Berg, A.H.W.F. (author), Verkooijen, A.H.M. (author)Large-scale coal-fired power plants are typically designed as base-load units. This means that they are traditionally run at continuous high loading levels, most often full-load. The current energy market asks for more flexibility as renewable energy sources continue to penetrate the energy market. Coal-fired power plants are forced to operate...master thesis 2015

Van Breukelen, S. (author)Content creation and content sharing have become part of our daily lives. With modern electronics, creating and sharing content has become very convenient, but this convenience has come at a price. Devices like smartphones that enable us to easily share content, are costly and complex. Devices like USB flash drives, on the other hand, are low...master thesis 2014

Gutiérrez-Lázaro, L.C. (author)Wearable and implantable devices are becoming more and more common as time goes by and one of the major bottlenecks in their development is the power delivery. In order to tackle this problem, energy harvesting arises an option to bring these devices one step closer to complete autonomy. Among the available mechanisms for harvesting, near-field...master thesis 2013

Noom, M.N. (author)A tethered wing can be used in two different ways, to lift payload or to provide traction power. The latter is the basis of several innovative technical applications, such as kite-assisted ship propulsion and pumping-kite wind energy conversion. This thesis presents a theoretical analysis of traction power generation by a tethered wing. The...master thesis 2013

Bleeker, V.R. (author)To ensure efficient and reliable operation of power amplifiers it is very important to precisely measure and control the power of the signal they transmit. A device most often used to do precise power measurements of RF systems is the so-called RF power detector. As this detector is used as measurement device the precise measurement ability of...master thesis 2012

Jimenez Villarreal, O.E. (author)With the increasing complexity of current embedded applications, and the mobility required in embedded devices, new approaches are being proposed to optimize the power and the energy consumed by an application, at higher levels of abstraction levels and in earlier stages in a design flow. However, one essential part of a structured and guided...master thesis 2011
