Gondelach, D. (author)The goal of this research was to develop an analytic low-thrust trajectory design method. The term low thrust stems form the fact that current electric propulsion systems can only produce low amounts of thrust. Nevertheless, these systems can deliver very high amounts of ?V using little propellant, which makes them very suitable for...master thesis 2012

Alagarsamybalasubramanian, A.C. (author)Robots have been popular amongst us as Science fiction characters for a few decades now. The inability of the robots to robustly perceive and respond to the real world has been confining them to the laboratories for a long time. This can be attributed to the dynamic nature of the everyday environments where the prelearnt knowledge alone is not...master thesis 2012

Nedkov, S.B. (author)Three-dimensional maps are deemed better for navigation purposes as they offer a larger number and more realistic navigation cues than two-dimensional maps. Improvements in two key technologies have opened the doors towards utilization of 3D maps for car navigation devices. Advances in data acquisition technologies and data processing methods...master thesis 2012

De Jonge, A.W. (author)Haptic shared control provides artificial guiding forces on a control interface that support operators to perform tasks. Research has shown that this can improve task performance and reduce control effort. However conflicts between the human operator and support system are often reported which deteriorate performance and increase control effort....master thesis 2012

Ramos Salido Maurer, Antonio (author)Kite Power Systems present technological advantages over traditional windmills. In this work, the design of a dual wireless link for kite applications requiring high reliability and low delays is presented. The link provides realtime data exchange between the system components that allows researchers to run closed-loop controllers, and to...master thesis 2012

Weijers, J. (author)In this thesis, we look at unit and integration test suites and look for ways to improve the quality of the tests. The first step in this research is the development of the JUnitCategorizer tool to distinguish between unit tests and integration tests. JUnitCategorizer determines the actual class under test using a new heuristic and ultimately...master thesis 2012

Tamerus, P.D. (author)Cryptographic devices are vulnerable to so-called Side Channel Attacks. As attackers become smarter, hardware designers and chip manufacturers need to keep up with the security demands against these Side Channel Attacks. Side Channel Attacks such as timing analysis, power consumption analysis or electromagnetic analysis, are based upon the...master thesis 2012

Ambrosi, M. (author)All around the world countries’ populations are aging and with this increase of expected lifetimes there is additional need for medical interventions such as hip replacements. With many people outliving the lifetime of these implanted parts, revisions are sometimes necessary. In some hip prostheses, layers of fibrous tissue can grow and decrease...master thesis 2012

Van den Berg, A.F.C. (author)Fault-tolerant On-Board Computer (OBC) software for the Delfi-n3Xt nanosatellite is needed in order to minimize the risk of failures that may occur while the satellite is operating in space. Failures may be OBC specific, but failures that affect the state of the entire satellite and influence the health of the data bus may occur as well. Some...master thesis 2012

Latooij, C.A. (author)A recent study [Rossen et al., 2011] developed a fractional-flow model (an extension of the Buckley-Leverett theory for a waterflood) for non-Newtonian two-phase flow (surfactant solution and gas) around a well. In this fractional-flow model two effects are represented: the decrease in water saturation Sw during gas injection in a SAG process...bachelor thesis 2012

De Bruijn, R.A. (author)After the storm surge of 1953, the Dutch Delta project was initiated in order to protect the southwestern part of The Netherlands. A storm surge barrier in front of the Oosterschelde and various dams at the back of the estuary were constructed. These interventions led to a large change of the hydrodynamics of the Oosterschelde: a large decrease...master thesis 2012

Constantinescu, M.M. (author)The thesis aims at extending the capabilities of devices and enabling cooperation, i.e., data connection sharing, among users who may or may not necessarily be related to or know each other. To achieve this objective as well as to validate the results of our theoretical analysis, we developed a smart-phone application for data connection sharing...master thesis 2012
