From the article: "A facile approach for the fabrication of large-scale interdigitated nanogap electrodes (nanogap IDEs) with a controllable gap was demonstrated with conventional micro-fabrication technology to develop chemocapacitors for gas sensing applications. In this work, interdigitated nanogap …

Personal data is increasingly used by cities to track the behavior of their inhabitants. While the data is often used to mainly provide information to the authorities, it can also be harnessed for providing information to the citizens in real-time. In an on-going research project on increasing the awareness …

Kinematical joint analysis during road cycling is a new trend. Reviewing the methods for 2D and 3D lower limb kinematical research, the sensor to segment alignment appeared to be the most challenging part due to unknown orientation with respect to the anatomical joints. A methodology that is suitable …

The twenty first century is characterised by the ubiquitous rise of developments throughout the globe’s industries. With accelerating changes in the fields of technology, energy and computing, the automotive industry is home to a wide range of developments. Through research, the main trends giving rise …

Wellbeing, comfort and safety in outdoor shoes have always been based on parameters that vary from person to person (male, female, weight, build, etc.). The aim of the project OutFeet was to go beyond this subjective approach by taking a merely qualitative analysis to a higher scientific level. The …

PURPOSE: The early detection of a decline in daily functioning of independently living older people can aid health care professionals in providing preventive interventions. To monitor daily activity patterns and, thereby detect a decline in daily functioning, new technologies, such as sensors can be …

This report describes the development software of the Ship Monitoring and Management system. The Transport sector is one of the biggest sectors in the Netherlands. Products are transported by road, rail and river. Most of the sectors in the transport sector try to reduce the environmental footprint. However …

Integrated photonic sensors are promising devices for various sensing applications due to their low cost, small size, and high sensitivities that can be reached. In this thesis, ring resonators and three-port Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) devices fabricated on Silicon-On-Insulator were compared for …

BACKGROUND: ICT based solutions are increasingly introduced for active and healthy ageing. In this context continuous monitoring of older adults with domestic sensor systems has been suggested to provide important information about their functional health. However, there is not yet a solid model for …
