Energy-efficient In-Memory Address Calculation

Computation-in-Memory (CIM) is an emerging computing paradigm to address memory bottleneck challenges in computer architecture. A CIM unit cannot fully replace a general-purpose processor. Still, it significantly reduces the amount of data transfer between a traditional memory unit and the processor by enriching the transferred information....

The collaborative autonomous shipping experiment (Case): Motivations, theory, infrastructure, and experimental challenges

The future autonomous ships will be operating in an environment where different autonomous and non-autonomous vessels with different characteristics exist. These vessels are owned by different parties and each uses its owned unique approaches for guidance and navigation. The Collaborative Autonomous Shipping Experiment (CASE) aims at...

Understanding the cation-dependent surfactant adsorption on clay minerals in oil recovery

Surfactants have the ability to mobilize residual oil trapped in pore spaces of matrix rocks by lowering the oil-water interfacial tension, resulting in a higher oil recovery. However, the loss of surfactants by adsorption onto the rock surface has become a major concern that reduces the efficiency of the surfactant flooding process. In this...

Relating the 3D electrode morphology to Li-ion battery performance; a case for LiFePO₄

One of the main goals in lithium ion battery electrode design is to increase the power density. This requires insight in the relation between the complex heterogeneous microstructure existing of active material, conductive additive and electrolyte providing the required electronic and Li-ion transport. FIB-SEM is used to determine the three...
