We report the fabrication of silicon microcantilevers with MOSFET detection, to be used in force measurements for biomolecular detection. Thin cantilevers are required for a high force sensitivity. Therefore the source and drain of the transistors have bee ...
In the mid 1990s the European railway community – under the aegis of the Union Internationale des Chemins de fer (UIC) – opted for GSM as the standard to replace existing analogue railway radio systems. The decision was taken on two grounds: GSM was a non- ...
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires EU member states to establish a methodology for calculating the energy performance of buildings within a framework that includes the effect of active and passive solar systems as well as other c ...
The European railway sector is undergoing dramatic changes. During the still ongoing liberalization process most vertically-integrated railway operators have already been “unbundled”. The shift from integrated to disintegrated companies coupled with the in ...
Over the last decades, battles for technological dominance between competing and incompatible technologies have had a significant impact on competition within many high-tech industries. In this dissertation, we are concerned with the management of such sta ...
Sorting and mating is a very common practice in high precision manufacturing, as well in the watch industry, biomedical or automotive industry. This strategy helps to increase the assembly yield, but is costly and time-consuming. The question is, when is i ...

In the field of PLC, the standardization process on international level is progressing very slowly. The EMC Laboratory of the North China Electric Power University has received the task to develop a measurement method for the field radiated by PLC installa ...
A decision making tool is proposed to evaluate assembly costs of micro-products (< 1 dm(3)) and to compare different assembly strategies for a given product or product family. The tool takes into account equipment costs as well as running costs, for manual ...

Though the ISPRS has had standardization on its agenda for a long time the progress was slow and the output of completed document is still limited. The reasons are manifold: lack of awareness of standardization, necessary alignment with the standardization ...
L’utilisation de capteurs thermiques en façade reste très limitée, malgré le fait que les produits actuels soient performants et économiquement rentables dans la plupart des cas. L’une des raisons majeures de cette situation tient à la difficulté d’intégre ...
