Huang, Shijie (author)Class D amplifiers find widespread application in audio devices for driving load speakers, primarily due to their remarkable efficiency. Nonetheless, this enhanced efficiency often comes at the expense of reduced linearity. Hence, techniques for reducing Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) are important in the context of class D amplifiers.<br/><br/...master thesis 2023

Fan, Haochun (author)Class-D amplifiers have gained significant importance in automotive applications due to its high efficiency. However, to meet strict electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements, an LC filter is necessary, which, unfortunately, introduces nonlinearity to the system. This project proposes an architecture by implementing a dual voltage/current...master thesis 2023

van der Stoep, Eline (author)People that are recovering from a stroke need frequent and high-intensity training to regain their upper-limb capacity. This will eventually result in better performances and higher quality of their daily life. Robotic devices are often used to assist stroke patients in rehabilitation. The minimally-supervised portable hand trainer, which is...master thesis 2023

Lücker, Mila (author)This project explores the potential of a material system based on SMAs that generates haptic feedback for Visually Impaired People (VIPs). Since VIPs rely more than others on tactile information, there is a need for more natural and unintrusive haptic devices as the commonly used electromechanical actuations are often perceived as intrusive and...master thesis 2023

Yüksel, Serhan (author)Occupants are often unaware of window opening strategies that can enhance their well-being and reduce energy consumption. Window feedback systems that indicate when to manually operate a window have become a strategy for enhancing the indoor climate, occupant’s satisfaction and energy efficiency. These systems are recognized for providing the...master thesis 2023

Vergunst, Anouk (author)The process of physical rehabilitation in most cases consists of visits to a physical therapist and exercises the patient is expected to perform at home. To increase or maintain strength or flexibility these exercises need to be performed regularly. Practice teaches us that not all patients succeed here. In this project, we look into what is...master thesis 2023

Kim, June (author)Anxiety is a natural “fight-or-flight” response that everybody experiences to perceived stress or threat. Even though it is a natural response, some individuals struggle with managing their anxiety levels in a healthy manner. Prolonged exposure to high anxiety states can lead to clinical anxiety disorders that negatively impact the quality of...master thesis 2023

Jansen, Bram (author)Imagine you show something that you made to a client, and all they give you is the following feedback:<br/><br/>“Just make it pop!” <br/><br/>So.. what do you do with this? Nobody really knows.. and it may surprise you, but this is not a made-up example. This is existing feedback from real clients.<br/><br/>The main focus of this project,...master thesis 2023

Heemskerk, Robert (author)In dangerous environments, teleoperation is needed to enable humans to execute tasks remotely. To assist in these tasks, haptic teleoperation systems provide the human operator with the sense of touch of the telerobot. One way to provide this sense of touch is through high-frequency vibration feedback. State-of-the-art solutions generally rely...master thesis 2023

Nguyen, Phu (author)Tactile Internet opens many new possibilities as it solves one of the critical problems in the modern-day Internet, namely latency. Remote operations are possible that are deemed too dangerous with current technologies. Interacting directly with the remote environment without being physically present will be a life-changing experience. Before...master thesis 2023

Picco, Angèle (author), Stuiver, Arjan (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), de Waard, Dick (author)Recent technological advancements allow monitoring of drivers’ behaviour and offer the opportunity for providing feedback. While this approach has been shown to have a positive effect on driver behaviour, whether it is accepted by drivers has not yet been extensively investigated. This questionnaire study examined the opinions of a sample of...journal article 2023
