Surface treatment of &###39;rapid prototyped&###39; scaffo development of an optical sensor for tissue formation. KU Leuven
Artificial skin based on high density stretchable optical sensors Ghent University
Owing to their favorable properties, optical sensors are increasingly being used. Furthermore, they allow for integration in several materials, which is the main topic of this research project: optical touch sensors are being developed for application in U+201Cartificial skinU+201D. It is important that the sensors are small and deformable to make the artificial skin flexible such as the human skin.
Artificial skin based on high density elastic optical sensors Ghent University
This PhD work aims at the technology development and application of artificial skin, i.e. a surface into or onto which a high number of sensors are integrated. The main innovative aspect of this research is the use of elastic optical sensors. Today merely electrical sensors are applied which moreover are flexibel at the most (surely not elastic).
Reliability of semiconductor lasers / LEDs integrated on an optical chip or in a miniaturized optical system. Ghent University
UGent does groundbreaking research on the integration of semiconductor lasers/LEDs on photonic integrated circuits and in miniaturized optical systems, for communication, sensing and display applications. While we perform worldclass research in this field, the aspect of the reliability of these laser diodes/LEDs remains to be assessed. In this project we want to study this in detail using specific measurement equipment.
HR-RTIS: High-Resolution Real Time Imaging Sonar Sensor. University of Antwerp
MIRASTAR: MIniature RAman Sensor Targeting Antibiotic monitoRing Ghent University
We are developing a miniature optical sensor to measure the antibiotic concentration in blood. In this IOF ConcepTT project, we want to develop prototypes for a proof-of-concept experiment that the sensitivity of our sensor can be improved to therapeutic concentrations of β-lactam antibiotics in intensive care units
GLOSRAD - Global Shutter Radiation-tolerant CMOS image sensor pixels KU Leuven
A sensor based breath analysing device. KU Leuven
We have developed a chemo-optical sensor platform that might fulfil the requirements of the ideal breath analysing device for Point-Of-Care Testing (POCT). Breath analysis is emerging as a valuable non-invasive clinical diagnostic tool. The cornerstone of our technology is the use of atomic layer deposition engineered nanoporous films. We have protected this innovative approach by two patent applications. The objective of GALE is to develop ...
Optical characterization of perceptual surface gloss KU Leuven
In many applications, customers make purchase decisions based on functional requirements, performance and experiential considerations. The visual appearance - the visual sensation resulting from an interaction between the shape of objects, their optical properties, and the illumination - strongly contributes to this assessment task. In essence, a high quality product must nowadays also look alike, or it will simply not be as attractive as ...
