Background: The emergence of smartphones and wearable sensor technologies enables easy and unobtrusive monitoring of physiological and psychological data related to an individual’s resilience. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a promising biomarker for resilience based on between-subject population studies, …

Covid-19 made us realize that educational practices in higher education must change AND can change. A possible solution for practicing lab work is working in a remote lab: a real lab in which students and the equipment/instruments are physically apart. The concept of printed touchless electronics was …

In sports, inertial measurement units are often used to measure the orientation of human body segments. A Madgwick (MW) filter can be used to obtain accurate inertial measurement unit (IMU) orientation estimates. This filter combines two different orientation estimates by applying a correction of the …

Waterschap Scheldestromen is curious about a 4-electrode conductivity sensor from Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre(imec), which provides a larger working range than Waterschap’s commercial 2-electrode sensor. The project aims to test the performance of this imec sensor, and couple it with Arduino …

The design research described in this report was conducted as part of the Catwalk: Forces of Nature exhibition that is part of Textiel Festival Twente, an outdoor art exhibition centered around textiles. This specific project was based on the concept of connecting in a disconnected world and providing …

Het (ruw)voer is één van de belangrijkste onderdelen, en daardoor de motor, van het melkveebedrijf. Goed voeren is de basis voor een gezonde veestapel en hoge melkproductie. Door direct inzicht te krijgen in de voerderwaarden van het ruwvoer kan hierop worden gestuurd en kunnen de kosten worden beheerst …

Masonry structures comprise a significant portion of the historical building stock all over the world. Previous studies have clearly pointed out that unreinforced masonry buildings are vulnerable against extreme loading conditions, such as seismic actions. Therefore, strengthening is inevitable in most …

BACKGROUND: Approximately 5%-10% of elementary school children show delayed development of fine motor skills. To address these problems, detection is required. Current assessment tools are time-consuming, require a trained supervisor, and are not motivating for children. Sensor-augmented toys and machine …

In a long-term project, together with Courage, we are investigating whether it is possible to determine volatile fatty acids, methane or acetone in the air blown from dairy cows. These substances are associated with health and digestion of the cow. We are working on a sensor together with tech partners …
