Weda, J. (author), Erp, J.V. (author), Mader, A. (author)The actuation speed of a pressure stimulus may influence its perception threshold. This is relevant for the design of haptic actuators and haptic interaction. We ran a study using a motorized ribbon to apply pressure stimuli (squeezes) to the arm at three different actuation speeds and used the PSI method to find the perception threshold for 21...article 2023

(author), Verweij, M.D. (author)Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters (UFMs) are installed on the outside of the pipe wall. Typically, they consist of two single-element transducers mounted on angled wedges, which are acoustically coupled to the pipe wall. Before flow metering, the transducers are placed at the correct axial position by manually moving one transducer along the pipe...article 2022

Buijs, L.J. (author), Meijer, I.H. (author), Pereboom, H.P. (author), Garlid, S. (author), Lunde, K. (author)Pressure surge or water hammer simulations are performed to evaluate a safe design or operation of oil transfer systems. The speed of sound of the transferred fluid plays a key role within pressure surge simulations. Unlike for steel pipe systems, the speed of sound in hoses is not easily determined. In industry, a value of 450 m/s is frequently...conference paper 2021

Bos, J.E. (author), van den Berg-Kroon, E.C.M. (author), Houben, M.M.J. (author), Kuiper, O.X. (author)Car handling, and hence, safety, is affected by the way we estimate speed. Speed, however, is often underestimated in degraded visual environments, including virtual environments such as driving simulators. In simulators the visual and physical motion are typically incongruent as limited by quality and amplitude, respectively, which may cause a...article 2019

van Kooten, M.A.M. (author), Doelman, N.J. (author), Kenworthy, M. (author)In an adaptive optics (AO) system, finite time delays contribute a relatively large amount to the overall wavefront error. The temporal error, due to the time delays, adds to the speckle halo which is visible in the science plane of a high contrast imaging (HCI) instrument. The halo limits the inner working angle, preventing HCI from probing...conference paper 2018
