Passive Localization with Visible Light

Indoor localization is a topic of significant interest for academic and in dustrial. For outdoors, we have Global Positioning System (GPS) working very well, but GPS does not work indoors and we spend more than 90% of the time indoors. Thus, there is a great need to find solution for this prob lem. Many technologies have been proposed for indoor...

Energize vacant land: Landscape regeneration in shrinking Kerkrade West

The project is aimed at using landscape proposals to inspire public participation changing their own living environment in shrinking cities. The strategy shows a landscape urbanism process, works at different scales and provides different possibilities towards a prospective future.

Design and Fabrication of On-Chip Cooing Devices Based on the Peltier Effect

The aim of this thesis project is to design and fabricate a high efficiency on chip cooling device based on the Peltier effect. Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) and antimony telluride (Sb2Te3) are employed to form thermocouple for their high Seebeck coefficient and high figure of merit. The models of the devices are simulated in the software program...
