RFID Guardian Prototype

The RFID guardian is an embedded device to protect the privacy of people using their RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) enabled products. This BSc. project is about how version 2 of the RFID Guardian hardware was designed. Besides the description about the hardware it handles some obligatory paperwork for the design flow which was used during...

Feasibility Study and Design for Wireless Sensor Networks in a Space Environment

Wireless sensor networks is a technology that has been used in a vast number of applications and environments with successful results in the past. Therefore increasing nowadays the number of users of this type of devices and their new applications. In this thesis we worked hand-in-hand with the ISIS B.V. Company to provide a proper WSN design to...

Event patterns for distributed runtime verification

A fundamental problem in networked embedded systems is to know the runtime behaviour. Especially, the behaviour of self-organizing and adaptive systems is difficult to predict, because of the strong coupling with the environment. Monitoring this at runtime is difficult, because the only access is via the network. However, some properties need to...

Embedded Real Time Partial Discharge Pulse Feature Extraction

Partial Discharges(PD) are commonly produced in defects within the insulation systems of high voltage equipment. These discharges are typically nanosecond current pulses in the amplitude range of milli-amperes. A long term exposure of the insulation system to these partial discharges accelerate the aging mechanisms that eventually lead to the...

Embedded Control System for Calibrating Gas Analysers

This Thesis report will discuss the development of embedded control systems for process control (in this case for the calibration of a gas analyser). The main research question being: Which control algorithm will be able to achieve the most optimal calibration procedure? A calibration bench which will be used to create a specific condition (gas...

A Nonlinear Model Predictive Control based Evasive Manoeuvre Assist Function

In recent years, research in the field of autonomous driving has been subject to a significant increase in interest. Along with the advances in automation and electrification, cars are slowly transitioning to computers on wheels. The ever-increasing processing power in vehicles gives rise to the implementation of advanced control strategies. The...

Real-time Ball-touch Classification on an Insole Sensor using Neural Networks

Monitoring and analyzing human movement is used in many fields, ranging from healthcare and industrial applications to sports analytics. To provide a football player or their coach with insight into their performance during a game, or their technical development over time, many methods are available such as camera setups and smart vests. However...

Chewing Detection on Low Power Embedded Systems

Analyzing food consumption patterns can provide valuable insights into the development of obesity and eating disorders. The detection and quantification of chewing strokes are essential to facilitate this analysis. One approach to food intake analysis involves evaluating chewing sounds generated during the eating process. These sounds were...
