The DAF YA126, also known as WEP, is an old Dutch transport truck (1947–1960). It weights about 3400kg (empty) and has a Hercules 4.61 liter, in-line 6 cylinder engine. Great vehicle for going on vacation with, or just driving through the mud. The DAF YA126, also known as WEP, is an old Dutch transport truck (1947–1960).

Final thesis: A full-polymeric mouldable microfluidic device; Designing the process.AbstractOn the design and realization of a flexible multi-functional microfluidic device, details of the mould design are explained and optimization is dealt with needed to allow producing the system on the two-component injection moulding machine available in our laboratory. A number of adjustments proved to be required in order to reduce the pressures needed to fill all parts without the danger of exceeding the maximum clamping force. For these hierarchical subsequent optimization steps, a commercial analysis package was used. After the first successful production runs, the two major functional components of the device are tested: The splitting serpentine channels are fed with two fluids, one containing a fluorescent dye, and down-flow analysis-results show that laminar mixing indeed proceeds efficient, as expected. Next the peristaltic pumps, consisting of three air-pressure actuated membranes, are tested. Their maximum operating frequency is determined to be 5 [Hz]. Above this critical frequency, the membranes do not sufficiently close on their hubs and start trembling and vibrating in the pulsating flow. Using a mild vacuum to support the membrane motion shifts the critical frequency to 15 [Hz]. The volume displacement per stroke is in the order of 7 [μL], yielding a maximum flux of ca. 100 [μL.s-1].

Metalworker

• Jun 2001 - Aug 2001

After graduating at Sg St Ursula I worked here before starting studying Mechanical Engineering at the TU/e Eindhoven to get a feeling what metal does and how a company/factory works.
