Development of pulse gear with shrimp as well as sole as target species Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
A vessel applying pulse fields for fishing generally targets a specific species. Its equipment (pulse generator) generates a certain type of electric field. Aiming at cost and time efficiency, this project developed a technology that allows two types of electric fields to be generated, one for shrimp and one for sole as a target species. When a vessel switches to another target species, the ...
Pulse generator for ultadense plasma Ghent University
High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS)is a deposition technique for thin films. This technique is based on the more traditional magnetron sputtering, a deposition technique which leans upon a magnetic assisted glow discharge. The ionization degree and plasma density is strongly increased by applying a high power pulse. Moreover, the plasma becomes metal based. By negative polarisation of the substrate, metal ions can be conducted ...

Assessment of electric pulse fishing as an environment friendly fishing method in the North Sea Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Is pulse fishing for shrimps an ecologically sound alternative for traditional bottom trawling? Can any critical comments regarding pulse fishing be confirmed or denied scientifically? What kind of technical and biological knowledge do we need to promote the use of electric pulses as an alternative fishing method for potentially sustainable and ecological fisheries? The answer to these questions ...
Non-invasive optical measurement and physical modeling of blood pulse velocity for early detection of cardiovascular disease. Ghent University
The goals of the current project are: Development of a new contact less method, based on light interferometry which makes use of the Doppler shift of reflected light, which will allow us to measure PWV between two well defined locations close to one another. Designing and building a very compact two-channel laser-Doppler heterodyne interferometer which allows to measure blood PWV in realistic circumstances. Making a physics-based model of ...
