More Affordable Aircraft structure through eXtended, Integrated, and Mature nUmerical Sizing (MAAXIMUS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Even though composite materials are more and more used in modern airframes, many significant improvements are still achievable. Firstly, the substitution of the assembly of many small composite parts by a single one-shot large part provides additional weight reduction. Secondly, the final assembly line process must be adapted to composite properties (lack of ductility, stiffness). Thirdly, if the ...

"Development of active, intelligent and sustainable food PACKaging using PolybutyleneSUCCInate" (SUCCIPACK)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"SUCCIPACK aims to support European industry efforts to introduce biobased polybutylene succinate (PBS) as a new material on the food packaging market. Its main advantage is that it has complementary properties compared to other biobased polymers like polylactic acid. PBS is synthesized by polycondensation of succinic acid and butanediol, both identified as key “building blocks” from renewable res ...

Paving the Way for Future Emerging DNA-based Technologies: Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing of DNA libraries (CADMAD)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
CADMAD aims to make a foundational breakthrough in the way computers and computer-aided design and manufacturing is employed in DNA-based research and development, making a radically new use of information technologies in biology and biotechnology.Biology and biotechnology research involves "DNA programming", which is akin to computer programming. Researchers modify and combine DNA of interest in ...

Intelligent Mold for Productivity Enhancement (Mold4ProdE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
The constant demand for diversified/personalised consumers' goods leads to decrease time-to-market, and to plastic injection molds with smaller batch production, with no stock acceptable for cost and quality reasons. This generates huge productivity losses in the molding industry: - Tool Tuning is too long for tool makers before delivery of a turn key mold. - New production run set-up time is too ...

Unravelling the molecular basis of common complex human disorders using the dog as a model system (LUPA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
Despite major efforts, identifying susceptibility genes for common human diseases - cancer, cardiovascular, inflammatory and neurological disorders - is difficult due to the complexity of the underlying causes. The dog population is composed of ~ 400 purebred breeds; each one is a genetic isolate with unique characteristics resulting from persistent selection for desired attributes or from geneti ...

Contribution of Airlines for the Reduction of Industry Nuisances and Gases (CARING)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"Project CARING (Contribution of Airlines for the Reduction of Industry Nuisances and Gases) aims at better understanding how airlines deal with the environmental constraints, currently and in the future. CARING pursues three main objectives in line with Clean Sky’s Systems for Green Operations ITD: - Gather trajectory data from actual flights. These trajectory data will be used in Clean Sky’s sim ...
