Oliviero, E. (author), David, M.L. (author), Beaufort, M.F. (author), Barbot, J.F. (author), Van Veen, A. (author)He+ ions were implanted into silicon with a fluence of 5×10 16?cm?2 at different temperatures ranging from 473 to 1073 K. Samples were analyzed by thermal helium desorption spectroscopy and by transmission electron microscopy. As far as cavity formation is concerned, the behavior can be divided into three stages depending on the implantation...journal article 2002

Van Huis, M.A. (author)The material properties of nanometer-sized clusters are dependent on the cluster size. Changing the cluster dimensions induces structural phase transformations, metal-insulator transitions, non-linear optical properties and widening of the band gap of semiconductors. In this work, nanoclusters are created by ion implantation followed by thermal...doctoral thesis 2003

Van Rienen, U. (author), Pau, H.W. (author), Sun, C. (author), Veerathu, S. (author), Schulze, S. (author), Schreiber, U. (author)Cochlea implants can help deef patients to regain hearing. The implants consist of a microphone, a speech processor and an electrode array implanted in the inner ear in order to directly excite the auditory nervs. Recently, an electrode array has been designed to be implanted without inner ear trauma aiming at combining rest hearing with the...conference paper 2006

Strydis, C. (author), Gaydadjiev, G.N. (author)A more structured and streamlined design of implants is nowadays possible. In this paper we focus on implant processors located in the heart of implantable systems. We present a real and representative biomedical-application scenario where such a new processor can be employed. Based on a suitably selected processor simulator, various operational...journal article 2008

Kaptein, J.G. (author)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment for numerous kinds of cancer. A potential advantage of PDT compared to other cancer treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy is its selectivity. PDT is based on a photosensitive substance that is administered to a patient. The substance has selective uptake by cancerous tissue and when...master thesis 2008

Zhu, D. (author)The amount of Implantable Medical Devices (IMD) keeps booming in recent years. However, not many of them have encryption and decryption methods to protect their data communication. The purpose of this thesis work is to profile various popular symmetric encryption algorithms and select the best candidates as the benchmark for generic IMD....master thesis 2008

Ucaroglu, G. (author)The graduation thesis project seeks to develop a design methodology that could function in a sustainable way within the constraints of the context of overpopulated and heavily decayed building stock of Centro Habana, in the city of Havana, Cuba. The intention of the project is to generate transformation in the stagnated built environment. The...master thesis 2009

Nerkens, W. (author)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of glenohumeral conformity on interface micromotions in a metal backed glenoid implant. A force controlled experiment was performed in which a metal backed glenoid component with various PE inlay radii was subjected to a simulated joint reaction force. Local interface micromotions, rim...master thesis 2009

Dave, D. (author)As we move towards an aging population, it is likely that an increasing number of people will require an increasing diversity of implants, but at a lower cost to the society. Also, as computer technology progresses, smaller, more powerful, and less battery intensive implants can be designed. However, present implant design methodology is highly...master thesis 2010

The, M.T.A. (author)In this report a model for the ingrowth of a prosthesis in a bone will be formulated and simulated. First an overview is given of all the biological processes that are part of this healing process and what external factors can influence this process. Then a first mathematical model is presented in which the mechanical stimuli (one of the...bachelor thesis 2010

Bes, C.J. (author)At the moment, about 30 million people worldwide are suffering from hearing loss. Most people are helped with a simple hearing aid that just amplifies sounds coming to the ear. However, if the hearing loss is too severe, these aids will not help. More than 100.000 people worldwide need a more complex device in order to let them hear again. A...master thesis 2010

Riemens, D.P. (author)Modern applications demand extremely low power budgets in computer architectures for battery-operated devices. In the particular case of implantable devices —the main focus of this thesis— the system must have a long life span and batteries may not be possible or easy to recharge. In addition to power, chip area is also of major concern in this...master thesis 2010

Strydis, C. (author)HEALTHCARE in the 21st century is changing rapidly. In advanced countries, in particular, healthcare is moving from a public to a more personalized nature. However, the costs of healthcare worldwide are increasing every year. Better use of technology can and should be used to get control of these costs. At the same time, implants have clearly...doctoral thesis 2011

(author)Good-quality ultrashallow n + p junctions are formed using 5-keV amorphizing As+ implantations followed by a single-shot excimer laser anneal for dopant activation. By using an implant that is self-aligned to the contact windows etched in an oxide isolation layer, straightforward processing of the diodes is achieved with postimplantation...journal article 2011

Zha, X. (author)In the past two decades, dental implants have been an essential component of the public health. However, lack of a reliable and safe dental surgery imaging modality remains a major problem. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an interferometic optical imaging modality that is somewhat similar to B-mode ultrasound but utilizes infrared light...master thesis 2011

Prokharau, P. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author)We investigate stability of the solution of a set of partial differential equations, which is used to model a peri-implant osseointegration process. For certain parameter values, the solution has a ‘wave-like’ profile, which appears in the distribution of osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, growth factor and bone matrix. This ‘wave-like’ profile...journal article 2012

Mok, K.R.C. (author), Naber, R.C.G. (author), Nanver, L.K. (author)Emitter saturation current densities, Joe have been investigated with different boron implantation dose and annealing conditions. The higher thermal budgets used here are shown experimentally to improve Joe, implying more complete defect dissolution. Simulations show that significant degradation in Joe can be attributed to the presence of...conference paper 2012

Suarez, D.R. (author), Weinans, H. (author), Van Keulen, F. (author)Post-operative change in the mechanical loading of bone may trigger its (mechanically induced) adaptation and hamper the mechanical stability of prostheses. This is especially important in cementless components, where the final fixation is achieved by the bone itself. The aim of this study is, first, to gain insight into the bone remodelling...journal article 2012
