Fundamental exploration of time encoding for analog to digital conversion Ghent University
Due to CMOS technology scaling, it becomes interesting to represent analog signals by temporal aspects (such as zero crossings) rather than voltages. This is called time encoding.
One possible technique uses pulse-width modulation, where the signal is represented by the width of a pulse. Such techniques combine very well with today's digital technology, which can achieve multi-GHz switching speed.
In this project we ...
sensing and controlling multimodel textures in multimedia environments Ghent University
The project is concerned with the study of multimodal sensing and controlling of time-varying tecturees (micro-features of forms/structures/objects) in multimedia environments. The general aim is to develop a basic understanding of how tectures from different perceptive domains, in particular, from the visual, sonic, and motion domain, are experientially linked with each other in multimedia environments. To achieve that goal, new devices for ...

Probing the mutual interactions between superconductor and ferromagnet in hybrid systems with nanoscale magnetic modulation. KU Leuven
An important aspect in the fast developing field of nanotechnology is the understanding of how properties evolve when reducing the dimensions to the nanoscale. Spatial confinement of phonons in nanostructures can strongly affect the phonon density of states and related properties. Despite the importance of understanding the vibrational behaviour at the nanoscale, lattice vibrations in nanostructures have been less explored due to the ...

High-frequency IC packaging equipment for mm-wave applications. KU Leuven
High-frequency IC packaging equipment based on flip-chip technology will support and strengthen the research on integrated CMOS solutions for mm-wave applications in the 30- 300GHz frequency range.
SPINAL (Scanning Probe in a Network for Advanced Layers) - an ultra-high vacuum cluster tool with scanning probe microscope Ghent University
The SPINAL project concerns the installation of a ultra-high vacuum cluster tool for studying surfaces, thin films and nanostructures. The system consists of a scanning probe microscope, to study surfaces and nanostructures with atomic level resolution, and a vacuum transfer line (the U+201CSPINAL cordU+201D of the tool), which allows for transferring samples between deposition and characterization chambers under ultra-high vacuum conditions. ...
