Easy ID: A Wireless Sensor Package to Measure Human Interaction Features

This thesis proposes a low-cost and small size customized data acquisition sensor badge, called Easy ID, which is specially designed for the Vision Lab Group in TU Delft for their on body data capture during social events. Easy ID is designed based on an open source platform, which provides enough space for future upgrade and extension.<br/>The...

Dilating Pupil for Prosthetic Eyes Based on Electrowetting

The prosthetic eye is created to help people who have lost an eye. The eye itself can only improve the appearance but without any optic function. In order to optimize the appearance, a prosthetic eye with a pupil that can dilate and contract according to the light level, just like the natural eye, is desired. The primary goal of this work is to...

An Electrowetting Valve with Air Channel

In recent years, microfluidic systems are used in various fields. In important component is the valve. In a variety of valve principles, the electrowetting valve promises high reliability, good controllability, low voltage operation and high transmission speed characteristics. The micro-fabrication method to create a chip-level electrowetting...

Quality and Cost Modeling Of 3D Stacked ICs

Since the 1960s, the semiconductor industry’s rate of progress has followed by what is commonly known as Moore’s law. In recent years, the traditional approach of downscaling the feature size and increasing the operating frequency of the devices to improve the performance is slowing down due to the reaching of physical limits. Different...

Instrumented Skeleton Sled: Focussing on force and orientation sensing

This report details the design of an instrumentation system to be used on a skeleton sled. The system will measure data during the run on a skeleton track using several sensors and process and visualise the data afterwards in order to shorten the learning curve of the athlete and give quantitative feedback. The subsystem discussed in this report...

A Surface EMG System: Local Muscle Fatigue Detection

In the last 4 decades, surface electromyography (sEMG) signal processing has been applied to detect local muscle fatigue, this non-invasive approach is suitable for detecting EMG signals generated by athletes in motion. Also, EMG could directly reveal the muscle’s performance like endurance and recruitment of motor units, which is hard to be...
