A rail-guided robotic system is currently being designed for the inspection of ballast water tanks in ships. This robotic system will manipulate sensors toward the interior walls of the tank. In this paper, the influence of rail compliance on the end-effector position error due to ship movement is investigated. …

The creation of artifacts is one of the factors that make us human. Artifacts contribute to our continual adaptation to the world by permitting better knowledge and control of it. The focus of this chapter is on the role of one specific kind of artifact: sensors. In contrast to our immediate perception …

Anomaly detection is a key factor in the processing of large amounts of sensor data from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Efficient anomaly detection algorithms can be devised performing online node-local computations and reducing communication overhead, thus improving the use of the limited hardware …

The maturing field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) results in long-lived deployments that produce large amounts of sensor data. Lightweight online on-mote processing may improve the usage of their limited resources, such as energy, by transmitting only unexpected sensor data (anomalies). We detect …

Between 2009 and 2013 a project has been executed in the Utrecht region to strengthen the workplace innovation capacity of SMEs (My Company 2.0). The participating companies were asked to fill in a questionnaire on the workplace innovation capacity of the company at two moments: at the beginning (T0) …

Wat verwacht de beroepspraktijk van logistieke starters als het gaat om communicatieve competentie? In een exploratieve studie is in beeld gebracht welke rol communicatie speelt in de werkzaamheden van de logistieke starter, welke communicatieve producten de logistieke starter moet beheersen, welke kwaliteitseisen …

BACKGROUND: Ambulatory children with Spina Bifida (SB) often show a decline in physical activity leading to deconditioning and functional decline. Therefore, assessment and promotion of physical activity is important. Because energy expenditure during activities is higher in these children, the use of …

Hoofdstuk 4 in Mediamonitor. Mediabedrijven en mediamarkten 2012-2013 De Mediamonitor heeft als taak om concentratiebewegingen van mediabedrijven in kaart te brengen en na te gaan in hoeverre de pluriformiteit en de onafhankelijkheid van de media in gevaar komen. In dat kader wordt in dit rapport uitgebreid …
