Many ARM Cortex-M-based microcontrollers include tracing features which allow monitoring hardware events (e.g. exceptions occurring, a specific instruction being executed or a specific address range being accessed by the CPU). Tracing enables non-intrusive insight into software execution (i.e. software …

Wind turbines are usually clustered in wind farms which causes the downstream turbines to operate in the turbulent wakes of upstream turbines. As turbulence is directly related to increased fatigue loads, knowledge of the turbulence in the wake and its evolution are important. Therefore, the main objective …

presentation on the WIREX annual congres of the EU Week of innovative Regions in which we discussed the pilots in the Northern Netherlands

At the individual level we know that it can be very difficult to unlearn bad habits. For example, a once learned but non-optimal fingering on the piano is almost impossible to unlearn. The problem, as Dickens describes so beautifully in his famous Christmas Carol, is that we indeed make the chain we …

This paper presents the results of a study regarding the cyclic bending over sheave fatigue life of five different type of small diameter cables (d <=2.5 mm) in a simple bending test around a D = 10 mm sheave. The goal of the study is to estimate the lifespan of cables in prosthetic applications. Three …

Over the past decades, Inconel 718 and titanium 6Al4V have established their roles as prefered material in the gas turbine industry. Production of complex parts with these alloys using conventional production however is time consuming and expensive. With AM fabrication of metals developing fast, the …

Author supplied from the article: Abstract A temperature compensated hydrogen sensor was designed and made capable of detecting H2 within a broad range of 100–10.000 ppm while compensating instantaneously for large (±25 °C) temperature variations. Two related operational constraints have been simultaneously …

Staphylococcus aureus is een bacterie die zich vooral in de neus en op de huid bevindt. Wanneer de S. aureus niet meer gevoelig is voor Methicilline, één van de gebruikelijke antibiotica, noemen we de bacterie Methicilline Resistente Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Er zijn in het UMC Utrecht twee verschillende …

From Science direct: One of the nanowires was covered with a 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate based compound to prevent hydrogen from reaching the wire. The compound was dried by a UV source and tested in chamber for comparison with previous measurements. The results shows that temperature effects can be …
