New Induction Wireless Manufacturing Efficient Process for Energy Intensive Industries (NIWE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

NIWE project will demonstrate a new production process able to decrease the embodied energy of the foundry products by over 25%, reducing drastically its carbon footprint. The demonstration will be performed in the aluminium, iron and steel sectors.The expected energy efficiency gains are due to a new furnace that, by means of a power transmission system based on induction, will allow a highly fle ...

UAV BASED INNOVATIVE MEANS FOR LAND AND SEA NON-COOPERATIVE VEHICLES STOP (AEROCEPTOR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2016,

Organized crime does an intensive use of non-cooperative vehicles (cars and motorboats mainly) for a variety of criminal activities, as they are transport of illegal immigrants or smuggling of goods (especially drugs). This generates a very large number of operations carried out by law enforcement agencies in order to intercept these vehicles. During the vehicle interception operations, non coope ...

Interworking and JOINt Design of an Open Access and Backhaul Network Architecture for Small Cells based on Cloud Networks (iJOIN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Motivation. The last decades brought an exponential increase in mobile traffic volume. This will continue and a 1000-fold increase by 2020 has been forecasted. Small-cells promise to provide the required data rates through an increased spatial utilisation of the spectrum.Problem statement. Due to strong inter-cell interference, small-cell deployments will require a high degree of coordination as o ...

Development of a new diagnostic tool using DNA barcoding to identify quarantine organisms in support of plant health (QBOL)

Start date: Mar 21, 2009, End date: Sep 20, 2012,

Development of accurate identification tools for plant pathogens and pests is vital to support European Plant Health Policies. For this project Council Directive 2000/29/EC is important, listing some 275 organisms for which protective measures against introduction into and their spread within the Community needs to be taken. Those threats are now greater than ever because of the increases in the v ...
