Steel weight reduction in offshore wind jacket structures by wrapped FRP joints

This report investigates the potential reduction of steel weight for offshore wind turbine supporting jacket structures, if conventional welded joints are replaced by innovative wrapped FRP joints. This new type of connection is under development by Dr. Marko Pavlovic at the Delft University of Technology, and shows outstanding fatigue...

Connected car service for small and medium enterprises

ANWB Connected connects the Engine Control Unit of almost any vehicle to the internet, by using a dongle, with GPS sensor, that is plugged into the vehicle. The ANWB wants to increase the amount of users of this technology. And ANWB Kleinzakelijk, responsible for the Small and Medium Enterprise market, wants to grow its members by broadening the...

FM modulator and demodulator design: As part of a wireless FM Tranceiver

This report details the design and implementation of subsystems within a wireless FM transceiver. All the subsystems will be developed and integrated into a working FM transceiver. The subsystems discussed in this report are the modulator and demodulator. The modulator, on the transmitter side, varies the carrier wave frequency, based on the...

Digital Nomad Hub Amsterdam: Where global travel meets the local level

As a result of the vigorous and complex forces of globalization, which continue to increase the connectedness of our global village, tourism and the search for authentic experiences rise. While being aware of the paradoxes that come with authenticity, this co-living building at the Weteringcircuit in Amsterdam provides digital nomads with basic...

Modular Hybrid Coastal Protection Structure: Pilot site: Montego Bay, Jamaica

Tourism is one of the main sources of income of Jamaica. . However, at the moment the beaches are retreating. An example is the erosion of Hellshire Beach, showing a retreat of ten meters in only seven years. To preserve the beaches effectively, a new concept is requested. The main requirements of the system are wave attenuation and the marine...

Performance analysis of the circuit reservation multiple access protocol for wireless office communications

In this report the new Circuit Reservation Multiple Access protocol for wireless office communications is presented. This slotted protocol controls the transport of data between a central base station and users with divergent service requirements over a half duplex radio link. An analytical and a simulation model are presented and the results of...

A wireless office communication system for constant and variable bandwidth demand traffic

This report discusses a detailed qualitative study of a Wireless Office Communication System. The system is built up of separate groups. Each group consists of a base station and two types of users, viz (i) one with constant bandwidth demand requirement and (ii) other with variable bandwidth demand requirement. A new proposed Circuit Reservation...
