Flexible Interposer Based on Carbon Nanotubes and PDMS Composite

A new method of flexible interposer with vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) embedded in polymer is proposed in this thesis. Interposer, working as electrical routing between different sockets or connections, is being used for spreading connections and rerouting in packaging technology nowadays. With the rapidly growing application of...

Computer-based recognition of intertextuality within the Hebrew Bible

This research examines three approaches to recognize intertextuality. Two of them are novel because of their involving of the special features. The first approach uses multiple distance metrics. These distance metrics measures the similarity between strings. The second approach uses high-level grammatical features. These features are based on...

Het beschrijven van een CD

Bij een CD wordt de informatie opgeslagen in een metaallaag. Bij het beschrijven van zo'n CD wordt het metaal door een laser verwarmd, zodat het metaal plaatselijk gaat smelten. Om de plaats van het smeltfront te bepalen kan gebruik worden gemaakt van de Moving Grid methode. Dit is een methode om bij numerieke tijdsintegratie het grid mee te...

Rapid Control Prototyping in a three phase grid-tie BSNPC inverter - Sensors, PWM and control concepts

In these ages of a more and more increasing energy demand and struggle to reduce CO2 emissions, the need of robust, analytical and fast ways to introduce new alternative energy concepts into practice is imminent. Nowadays, engineers struggle to incorporate all parts of modern power electronic applications, such as new topologies, control...

DNA translocation: The effect of excluded volume interaction

Het sturen van DNA door een klein gaatje in een kunstmatig membraan biedt mogelijkheden voor het aflezen van een DNA streng. Tijdens dit proces beweegt de streng zich in een vloeistof, waardoor allerlei fysische effecten een rol gaan spelen. De krachten die op de streng werken zorgen ervoor dat de DNA streng zich van de ene kant van het membraan...

Sensitivity Analysis for Expansion of Transmission Systems with High Amounts of Renewables

The increasing share of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in oday`s electricity mix has introduced new challenges for the geing European power networks. Optimal large scale deployment of wind and solar units around Europe necessitates the upgrade of the transmission system. Identifying transmission bottlenecks for fully accommodating high amounts...

Sizing and Charge Control Strategies for a Grid-Connected Micro-grid with Electric Vehicles

In this study a target area in Rotterdam wishes to reduce the carbon foot-print of the area with on-site renewable energy generation. Mobility accounts for 20 percent of the CO2 emissions of western countries and hence it is critical to model the mobility pattern and plan the charging infrastructure for the future electric vehicle fleet to...

Implementation, Characterization, and Optimization of an FPGA-based Time-to-Digital Converter

Many fields need high performance time measurements, including Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) cameras, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) systems, and other time-of-flight systems. These measurements are often performed by means of time-to-digital converters, that for these applications, require high resolution, accuracy, and throughput....

A Selection Method for Model-Driven Development Tools

This thesis project helps Logica adopt Model-Driven Development in an efficient way. A Modeling Tool Selection Method is constructed that helps selecting a Model-Driven Development tool at the start of an embedded system engineering project. This Modeling Tool Selection Method helps software engineers to decide when to use which Model-Driven...

Christiaan Huygens' Planetarium

In this project you will read how Christiaan Huygens used continued fractions to build a Planetarium. Continued fractions are rational approximation for (ir)rational numbers. Continued fractions resembles the Pythagoras theorem, as neither the discoverer nor their origin is known. Examples of continued fractions can be found throughout...
