AQUILA: High Resolution Magnetic Field Position Sensors
State of the art positioning sensing is often done by means of magnetic scales and magnetic sensors. During the project AQUILA, this technology will be pushed forward to enter in the high resolution regime.The goal is a resolution limit well below 100nm. This target will be achieved by develo
Smart Shoes
Research on possible mechanisms according to requirements of shoe comfort and physiological effects.Damping and stiffness of shoes influence comfort on the one hand and efficiency of movement on the other hand. Shoes with remote control of damping and stiffness will be developed to widen the suitable range of application - e.g. from a
Sensors and Data Acquisition for Smart Textiles
For the development of high-quality sports equipment, the increase in performance is the utmost requirement. However, it is not always trivial to find a direct correlation between the construction of sports equipment and the immediate power values of an athlete.Miniaturized MEMS sensors can provide h

Novel methods for the isolation of DNA
Existing methods for the isolation of DNA are expensive and elaborate and fail with DNA from difficult samples. Examples for difficult samples are fat containing food, soil samples or dried body fluids. DNA purified with established methods from such samples is unstable and can not be used in following amplif
