Ultrasound Tracking and Data Telemetry using CMUTs

Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) offer a wide range of applications including but not limited to blood pressure monitoring, bladder pressure sensing, glucose level monitoring, neurostimulation etc. For such applications, it is often desired that an IMD is as small as possible while meeting the required objective. Consequently, using a battery...

The Effects of Open Data Communities on Open Data Benefits and Barriers

Governmental organisations worldwide are working on their open data strategies and are openly sharing their data with the public. Recently also open data communities have been set up by several national governments. The effects of setting up these data communities on open data benefits and barriers and whether an effect exists at all is not yet...

Data communication in 2025: Designing data communication for ActiZ Benchmark Zorg

The project initiation originated from a challenge noticed by Deloitte. Deloitte noticed a mismatch between the degree and pace of innovation in data dashboards and the needs of the end-users of the dashboard. Deloitte creates digital dashboard to communicate all kind of data and information to their clients. They develop the dashboards along...

Enhancing the cargo value chain for KLM Cargo with regard to the acceptance process, trucking schedule and data communication: An in-depth case study for Denmark - Amsterdam

In recent years, the playing field of KLM Cargo has become increasingly dynamic and competitive. To remain competitive, KLM Cargo has to improve the delivery performance of the cargo in terms of timeliness and overall quality of the cargo (such as quality of the documentation, packaging, labeling and checks performed), which will reduce re-work ...

Communication Driven Mapping of Applications on Multicore Platforms

Though transistor scaling yields more transistors per chip, however, the consistent performance gain due to frequency scaling is no more feasible due to physical limits. These trends shifted the computational paradigm towards integration of more and more processing cores. Multicore computing is challenging, not only because applications need to...

DynaLight: A Dynamic Visible Light Communication Link for Smartphones

Nowadays, Visible Light Communication (VLC) has attracted the attention of the scientific community due to its great potential in creating smart communication links. Exploiting visible light modulations, could in time enable Internet connectivity via light lamps. Recent research studies have shown that modern smartphones have the ability to...

Hybrid Interconnect Design for Heterogeneous Hardware Accelerators

Heterogeneous multicore systems are becoming increasingly important as the need for computation power grows, especially when we are entering into the big data era. As one of the main trends in heterogeneous multicore, hardware accelerator systems provide application specific hardware circuits and are thus more energy efficient and have higher...

Experiencing gorillas in the cloud

The Project Experiencing gorillas in the cloud is a graduation project that aims ‘to create a product for the Apenheul that enhances the user experience of a visit to the park using sensor data’. In Apenheul a network of sensors has been placed around the gorilla island, constantly gathering data about the gorillas. Gorillas In the Cloud was...
