The project is aimed at developing a novel wireless acoustic sensor network (WASN) for multi-user active noise equalization without the need of using headsets. This system is formed by multiple active noise equalizers (ANEs), which act as a node in a WASN-type set up and cooperate to simultaneously solve their node-specific noise equalization problems. By doing so, the proposed system can simultaneously ensure the auditory comfort of multiple ...

Guided waves are recognized as one of the most promising techniques for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), as they provide reliable, long-range and highly sensitive damage inspection capabilities. Progress in this field would be impactful to EU transportation, aerospace and offshore industries, where safety is crucial given the potential human, economic or environmental consequences of failures.
Despite some encouraging applications to ...

De metaal-oxide-halfgeleider veld-effecttransistor (MOSFET) is vandaag een integraal onderdeel van de elektronische technologie en wordt dagelijks gebruikt door miljarden gebruikers via onder andere personal computers, telefoons en auto’s. Door het veelvuldige gebruik is een onderzoek naar de betrouwbaarheid een cruciaal onderdeel in de ontwikkeling van de MOSFET. Deze betrouwbaarheidsstudie richt zich op de effecten van willekeurige ...

With increasing regulatory pressures to reduce emissions, road transport has to play its part. Over the next 30 years, as we shift towards EVs, downsized IC engines and hybrids with eco-powertrains will be central to the automotive sector. ECO DRIVE will develop new technologies for the testing and simulation of eco-powertrains, addressing the complex challenges related to combustion noise, the irritating sound from electric motors, ...

Although today's electronic systems implement most of their functionality in the digital domain,
several analog operations remain necessary, e.g. amplification, filtering and above all analog-todigital
conversion. These analog circuits are preferably co-integrated with the digital circuits in
today's nanometer CMOS technology. But this gives two important problems. First, the analog
transistor performance (e.g. gain) is ...

Cochlear implants (CIs) are successful auditory prostheses that enable people with deafness to hear through electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. In a CI sound processor, a sound signal is converted into a sequence of electrical pulses. This conversion entails many parameters that should ideally be fine-tuned (fitted) for every individual patient, to account for various anatomical and physiological differences. In current clinical ...
