Discovering species with AI
The robot will use sensors, cameras and other technology to create images that must be converted into usable data. Dorin: “We have to train the AI system in such a way that it classifies the data from the sensors and the images extremely accurately.” That is important to identify existing species, but also to find species that we don’t even…
A short explanation of cogging in iron core direct drive motors
Cogging force is a phenomenon caused by the attraction of the iron lamination stack of the motor to the permanent magnets. The direction of this force is either the same or opposite to the moving direction. By moving the motor over the magnet track the cogging effect can be noticed, the motor has a preferred…

Sioux Technologies’ biological research lab is part of a total of 12 experiments which went into space with the rocket. Edwin Langerak, project manager at Sioux, tells more about the road to the launch and Sioux’s expertise within…
Wat is een Mass Flow Controller?
Als je gas, damp of vloeistof aan een chemisch proces wilt toevoeren, dan zijn mass flow controllers hiervoor geschikt. Mass flow controllers (ook wel MFC genoemd) worden gebruikt in processen die te maken hebben met:
* dosering van gas in bioreactoren voor bacteriegroei
* aeratie van industrieel roomijs of slagroom
* toevoeging van zuurstof aan het…
Softwarebescherming in de windenergie
Net als in de meeste branches, neemt digitalisering ook binnen de windenergie toe. Mooie voorbeelden van software die zorgen voor energiewinst of kostenbesparingen zijn al op de markt. Maar wat als u een softwareoplossing ontwikkelt? Is bescherming dan mogelijk? Octrooieren van software als zodanig kan immers volgens de wet niet. Toch is er meer mogelijk…
