Dr. John Glossner, from America, has been given 34 million guilders in venture capital for his company to develop hardware for mobile phones. While at TU Delft, he developed the micro-architecture of a processor that provides fast execution of Java-scripts.
Java is the programming language often used on the internet. Mobile phones that can be used on the internet must be able to execute Java-scripts very fast. Glossner, who received his PhD at TU Delft last Monday, is also working on hardware for a telephone that can be used with both the current gsm-network and with the future third generation mobile phone networks. Co-founders of Glossner%s company, Sandbridge Technologies, are former PhD-students from Cornell University and ETH Zurich.
Snack sales fall by 25 percent
After the chipcard was introduced at TU Delft, the sale of snacks and drinks in vending machines fell by a 25 percent, reports Wob Rombouts of the facility service department. He had expected a larger fall. Technical problems concerning paying with a chip card seem to be solved although there are still complaints. %Sometimes products get stuck in the spiral after the money has been paid,’ says Rombouts. Beware, the snacks most likely to get stuck are light and thin snacks, like knäckebröd. ‘If the supplier can’t solve these problems, we’ll have to consider dropping these snacks from the selections.”
PhD prize for Kühn
Dr. Martin Kühn, from Germany, who conducted his PhD project at TU Delft, receives the Dow thesis price for his research on offshore wind energy conversion systems at 22 November. His prize-money totals 2,5000 euro.
