Madureira, A. (author), den Hartog, F.T.H. (author), Bouwman, H. (author), Baken, N. (author)Few doubt that Digital Information Networks (DINs) such as the Internet constitute the basis of a new technology-driven economic era. A large body of literature tries to understand and quantify the value of DINs to help policy makers justify investments in new or improved infrastructures. The prevailing methodological approach is to depict DINs...article 2013

Sutanudjaja, E.H. (author), De Jong, S.M. (author), Van Geer, F.C. (author), Bierkens, M.F.P. (author)The study presented in this paper is to investigate the possibility of using spaceborne remote sensing data for groundwater head prediction. Remotely-sensed soil moisture time series of SWI (Soil Water Index) derived from ERS (European Remote Sensing) scatterometers are used to predict groundwater head dynamics in the Rhine-Meuse basin, where...article 2013

Oomen, J. (author), Over, P. (author), Kraaij, W. (author), Smeaton, A.F. (author)Audiovisual archives are investing in large-scale digitization efforts of their analogue holdings and, in parallel, ingesting an ever-increasing amount of born-digital files in their digital storage facilities. Digitization opens up new access paradigms and boosted re-use of audiovisual content. Query-log analyses show the shortcomings of manual...article 2013

Itcia, E. (author), Wasselin, J.P. (author), Mazuel, S. (author), Otten, M.P.G. (author), Huizing, A.G. (author)Rockwell Collins France (RCF) radar department is currently developing, in close collaboration with TNO in The Hague, The Netherlands, a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar sensor dedicated to Obstacle Warning function and potentially to air traffic detection. The sensor combines flood light illumination and digital beam forming to...conference paper 2013

Otten, M.P.G. (author), van Rossum, W.L. (author), Tan, R. (author), Vlothuizen, W.J. (author), de Wit, J.J.M. (author)A lightweight radar system, suitable for use on board small airborne platforms, has been built and tested. The radar system comprises a digital receive array, offering full beam forming flexibility at the cost of high data rates and heavy processing loads. In this paper, the requirements and architecture for multi-channel SAR processing are...conference paper 2013

Belfiori, F. (author), van Rossum, W.L. (author), Hoogeboom, P. (author)This paper investigates the use of a 2D MUSIC algorithm for the joint estimation of angular and range target locations. Coherency and correlation characteristics of the target signals are taken into account and 2D spatial smoothing technique is preliminarily applied in order to ensure the non-singularity of the received signals covariance matrix...conference paper 2012

(author)Nano-satellites have a cost advantage due to their low mass and usage of commercial-off-the-shelf technologies. However, the low mass also restricts the functionality of a nano-satellite's payload. Typically, this would imply instruments with very low to low resolution and accuracy, essentially ruling out applications such as remote sensing....conference paper 2012

(author)Dual-gate organic transistor technology is used to increase the robustness of digital circuits as illustrated by higher inverter gains and noise margins. The additional gate in the technology functions as a VT-control gate. Both zero-VGS-load and diode-load logic are investigated. The noise margin of zero- VGS-load inverter increases from 1.15 V...article 2011

(author)We introduce a microprocessor made by organic thin-film transistors processed directly onto flexible plastic foil. This is a direct realization of a microprocessor by thin-film technology, i.e., without transfer, on plastic. It paves the way to equip mundane supports and objects with low-cost computing power. We also demonstrate the correct...conference paper 2011

van den Berg, D. (author), Barink, M. (author), Giesen, P. (author), Meinders, E.R. (author), Yakimets, I. (author)Thin polymer substrates are promising materials for flexible electronics with many advantages. However, the dimensional stability of polymer substrates is low. Nowadays, this is overcome by laminating polymer substrates onto a rigid carrier. Nevertheless, carrier-less processing will be a foreseen next step for future manufacturing of plastic...article 2011
