Kamp, Jesse (author)This thesis is result of an assignment set up by Pan Oston. Pan Oston is a company who makes steel product like checkouts and kiosks for the retail market. A sizable part of Pan Oston’s revenue are checkouts and self-checkouts (SCOs). It is expected that in the future of retail these products are less relevant. This is why Pan Oston has...master thesis 2022

Akadiri, Femi (author)Public technology has been shown to have a strong dependence on physical touch, which increases the transmission of diseases. Gesture recognition helps to reduce this transmission, as the dependence on physical touch is removed. Furthermore, the use of visible light for gesture recognition would reduce the power consumption of public technology,...bachelor thesis 2022

Barzgari, Mohammad (author), Ghafari, A. (author), Meghdadi, Masoud (author), Medi, Ali (author)This article presents the theory and implementation of a quadrature and differential RF front-end receiver. Combining balun, low-noise amplifier (LNA), mixer, and oscillator in a single stage, the proposed circuit, named the Blixator, is well suited for low-power applications. The baseband's transimpedance amplifier (TIA) also shares part of...journal article 2022

Pourmousavian, Naser (author), Kuo, Feng Wei (author), Siriburanon, Teerachot (author), Babaie, M. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)This paper proposes an ultra-low-voltage (ULV) fractional-N all-digital PLL (ADPLL) powered from a single 0.5-V supply. While its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) runs directly at 0.5 V, an internal switched-capacitor dc-dc converter ``doubles'' the supply voltage to all the digital circuitry and particularly regulates the time-to...journal article 2018
