Sustainable printing for the Chinese consumer market

Worldwide, consumers demand companies to take more responsibility for what environmental problems their products might cause. Companies are following this demand from consumers by producing more sustainable products. HP forms no exception and has implemented so called “Eco solutions” to reduce the environmental impact of their consumer inkjet...

Paper choice - the starting point for sustainable printing: Design of an Eco Paper Wizard for Dutch printshops

This graduation thesis, written at Oce, analyses the main problems in the Dutch printshop sector for more sustainable printing. A new indicator is discussed, that compares environmental impact of papers. Secondly an Eco Paper Wizard has been designed and tested. The designed Eco Paper Wizard has a unique interaction design and tests have shown...

Printed Antenna Elements with Attested Ultra Wide Band Array Applicability

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a radio technology that can be used at very low energy levels, for short-range high-bandwidth communications, by using a large radio spectrum. Due to its high speed rate, this technology is nowadays one of the most promising solutions for communications. Maximum data that can be transmitted per second over a communication...

Toward the Next Level of PCB Usage in Power Electronic Converters

A means for power electronics to exploit the level of 3-D packaging already being implemented in compact consumer products, such as digital cameras, is investigated in order to increase its power density. The increase in functionality and usage of printed circuit board (PCB) in power electronic converters is highlighted and improvements proposed...

Range imaging and visual servoing for industrial applications

High-tech systems play a key role in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing. Two of these systems are presented in this thesis. The first system is range imaging, which is a measuring technique for determining three-dimensional shape. The second system is visual servoing, which is a method of adaptively controlling a mechanical system by...

Creating Physical Models Using Virtual Reconstructions: Mixed CAM-techniques for a Viennese Synagogue Scale-model

Better-looking pictures

Although colour printers are constantly being improved to produce better results, manufacturers appear to favour trial and error methods in their research. Researchers of the Pattern Recognition &#38 Image Processing group at Delft University of Technology are looking for a scientific and more general measure of quality to judge colour prints by...

A systematic worldwide landcover of satellite mosaics

The gap between the number of detailed satellite images (of e.g. Landsat) recorded and the number actually used is increasing rather than decreasing. A major cause for limited use of potentially available imagery is the cost. A complete range of national, continental and worldwide applications has not developed for that reason. A sketch is made...
