After running for over 9 years, 7/7 and 24/24, my Helios KWL EC 500 Pro started to make more and more noise. It was especially noticeable at night, even at a lower speed. Clearly, the motors were the culprits, and since they are brushless motors, the ball bearings were for sure at the end of …
I have 36 solar panels on my roof and a Fronius Symo 10.0-3-M inverter for a bit more than a year and I really enjoy watching the statistics. Since the system also has a smart meter, I can see production but also power consumption. In order to make everyone at home aware of our energy …

Yet another document I had available for download on the previous website that I put back online here. This time, it is my Master Thesis report that I wrote back in 2006. The idea was to use an ultrasound imaging device to register a vertebra with a 3D scan. The first step was to calibrate …
