Distributed Spatial Filtering in Wireless Sensor Networks KU Leuven
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) paved the way for many new technological and scientific advances by accessing information previously unavailable. For example, continuously being able to monitor the brain is crucial for many treatments in the biomedical and healthcare fields, especially for patients suffering from neurological disorders. Using sensor networks, electrical activity of the brain can be measured by sensors placed on the scalp of ...
Elaboration of a policy for spatial quality KU Leuven
The aim of the collaboration with the city of Leuven is to channel, filter and process the studio production of the research by design so that it can be fed back to the city in a comprehensible and accessible way, thus nourishing spatial policy.
Spatio-Temporal Speech Enhancement in Adverse Acoustic Conditions KU Leuven
Never before has speech been captured as often by electronic devices equipped with one or multiple microphones, serving a variety of applications. It is the key aspect in digital telephony, hearing devices, and voice-driven human-to-machine interaction.
When speech is recorded, the microphones also capture a variety of further, undesired sound components due to adverse acoustic conditions. Interfering speech, background noise and ...
Optimization of high performance small-scale plate-fin heat exchangers. KU Leuven
This work treats the macro-scale description of flow and heat transfer in systems with spatially periodic solid structures, like compact heat exchangers and heat sinks with fin arrays or tube bundles.
The presented macro-scale description allows us to extract the physically meaningful overall characteristics of the very detailed flow velocity, pressure and temperature fields in a heat transfer device.
In that regard, it enables data ...
PhD position in audio signal processing KU Leuven
The spatial information contained in recorded microphone signals has a fundamental role in the characterization of acoustic environments. Furthermore, it can be exploited in digital audio processing frameworks for enhancing a desired source signal, benefiting applications such as hands-free telephony, hearing devices, human-machine interfaces, and acoustic monitoring systems. Despite its acknowledged relevance, accurately estimating and ...
Design of Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting and Development of Low-Cost Water Treatment Technologies for Dairy Cattle and Farmers KU Leuven
The quality of drinking water for animals is rarely a concern for many dairy farmers but yet a vital component of dairy cattle's daily required intake. Rainwater harvesting can supplement other water sources and the operation and maintenance costs remain low after the initial investment to meet the increasing freshwater demand. Additionally, the drinking water quality standards of dairy cattle differ from those of humans, and this is not ...
Resource Allocation in Modulation and Equalization Procedures in DSL Modems KU Leuven
The main performance degradation of the DSL system is caused by channel ...
System-level hardware-based design techniques for EM Resilience: a necessity for safe and reliable programmable electronics KU Leuven
With the advent of autonomous vehicles, Smart Cities, Industry 4.0 and many more Internet-of-Things related applications, our future society and lives become highly dependent on high-tech electronics. Unfortunately, all high-tech electronics are sensitive to ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI), while the increasing electrification of, amongst others, vehicles and machines unavoidably means a much harsher electromagnetic environment. In ...
Design and validation of distributed EEG signal processing methods for a wearable network of galvanically independent recording units. KU Leuven
Epilepsy is one of the most common severely disabling brain conditions, affecting over 46 million people worldwide. It is characterised by recurring, sudden, excessive, synchronous electrical activity in neuronal networks that disrupt ongoing brain activity and causes clinical seizures. Diagnosis and follow-up of epilepsy typically relies on electroencephalography (EEG). Clinical EEG is a non-invasive electrophysiological measurement ...
