Kipp & Zonen, based in Delft manufactures and develops atmospheric measurement instruments, including a scintillometer. Kipp & Zonen currently manufactures the large aperture scintillometer (LAS) MkII and previously manufactured the extra large aperture scintillometer (XLAS) MkI. A scintillometer can …

Plasma treatment is a commonly used technology to modify the wetting behavior of polymer films in the production process for, e.g., printed electronics. As the effect of the plasma treatment decreases in time, the so-called "aging effect", it is important to gain knowledge on how this effect impacts …

In discussions on smart grids, it is often stated that residential end-users will play a more active role in the management of the electric power system. Experience in practice on how to empower end-users for such a role is however limited. This paper presents a field study in the first phase of the …

The issue of management of the supply chains of electronics in a sustainable manner is becoming more and more important all around the world. There are growing concerns about the amounts of electronic waste, controversial labour practices and the chemical and energy consumption management. These are …

Inkjet printing is a rapidly growing technology for depositing functional materials in the production of organic electronics. Challenges lie among others in the printing of high resolution patterns with high aspect ratio of functional materials to obtain the needed functionality like e.g. conductivity. …

In this article we investigate the change in wetting behavior of inkjet printed materials on either hydrophilic or hydrophobic plasma treated patterns, to determine the minimum obtainable track width using selective patterned μPlasma printing. For Hexamethyl-Disiloxane (HMDSO)/N2 plasma, a decrease in …

The computer program ART.LAB is an important product with which physicians and researchers can measure different blood vessel wall properties, and save the recorded radio frequency data (RF-data) and other measured properties into files for later analysis. One of the most relevant ART.LAB measurement …

Ieder mens heeft mindbugs (vooroordelen). Mindbugs zijn van invloed op het diversiteitbeleid in organisaties, omdat we met onze eigen bril naar anderen kijken en mensen en onszelf be- (ver)oordelen. Hierdoor bieden we onszelf en anderen niet voldoende kansen om te ontplooien en succesvol te zijn. Om …

In manufacturing of organic electronics, inkjet printing as an alternative technique for depositing materials is becoming increasingly important. Aside to the ink formulations challenges, improving the resolution of the printed patterns is a major goal. In this study we will discuss a newly developed …

A test bed for cooling of power electronics would be a helpful device for discovering the heat transfer characteristics of an electronic component
