Monitoring system for tests of the Mg implants KU Leuven
In the article authors are providing requirements analysis for the informational systems for medical trials. The author considered types of the experiments which could be conducted remotely with the Mg implants and designed an experiment for the in vivo tests of the Mg stem. In the paper the authors present three level architecture for the monitoring system the corrosion and solubility of Mg implants and model for data integration and ...
Cost Optimization Simulation for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure KU Leuven
To teach engineering students the interrelations and requirements for a robust, controlled and secured system incorporating all challenges of the modern IoT-system, an engineering case was developed. A charging station for electric batteries (such as for electric cars) was studied, both from the client (user at the load station) side as from the delivery side (service provider). The energy source is selected on criteria of availability and costs ...
The mapping of technological texture in electrical insulators KU Leuven
One of the main criteria of any technology for the production of insulators is to ensure the most homogeneous mixture of material used in their manufacture. In the case of increased heterogeneity of ceramic blanks, the fired insulators made therefrom are characterized by an increased number of cracks on their surface, lower mechanical quality, which means reduced production quality and efficiency. This represents a loss of material and financial ...
Design Optimization Techniques in Mechanical Design and Education of Engineers KU Leuven
With each year computerized tools for mechanical design become more comprehensive and contain a great variety of tools for engineers. Using the tools as black box solutions contains a lot of risks. In the field of CAD/CAE in mechanical design one of the hot topics is the optimization of the shape of a structure complying to certain boundary conditions to make a structure lighter and thus more economic. Although these techniques have been ...
Sustainability of the Remote Laboratories Based on Systems with Limited Resources KU Leuven
© 2019, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature. The sustainability of remote laboratories is considered both from the point of view of sustainable system architecture and of sustainable teaching outcomes. The goal of the work is to provide an approach for making remote laboratory systems build on components with limited (software) resources more sustainable, meaning more long-lasting, more economic, more efficient. We ...
Project-Oriented Teaching Approach for IoT Education KU Leuven
In the midst of these, this work has several unique characteristics which should change the reader's perspective, and in particular, provide a more profound understanding of the impact of the IoT on society.
Sustainability in the Educational Process through Sustainable Software KU Leuven
In this paper the question of sustainability of software which is used for teaching engineering disciplines is discussed. A case study for the reengineering of software for the determination and optimization of cutting conditions is presented by the authors.
Challenges of Using ICT in Education KU Leuven
The characteristics of modern day education are the application of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) which are becoming increasingly important in the teaching of subjects with different focus. The specificity of individual subjects makes it necessary to adapt methods of different ICT-tools used in education. Online courses and the distribution of content over the Internet will significantly impact education in the coming ...
