a Multimodal Authoring and Gaming Environment for Location-based coLlaborative AdveNtures (MAGELLAN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Computer games represent a vast economic market, a key driver of technology, and an increasingly powerful medium for a broad range of applications. The latest wave of innovation for computer games is 'mobile' and, more precisely, 'location-based'. These outdoors mobile experiences are radically different from traditional computer games or their mobile equivalent. They focus the players' attention ...

Adaptive Data and Power Aware Transceivers for Optical Communications (ADDAPT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

Existing optical networks are driven by dynamic user demands but operate statically at their maximum performance and do not offer much adaptability. Thus the links are not energy-efficient. ADDAPT aims at the development and technology take-up of dynamic transceiver subsystems. By implementing performance and power adaptivity from system down to optical device, electrical circuit and transistor le ...

Development of a titanium dental implant with superior antibacterial properties (NANOTI)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Infections associated with dental implants may cause peri-implantitis often resulting in implant loss and impaired function. Recent studies show an alarming increase in the incidence of the infections, while on the other hand the efficacy of the prevailing treatment method is decreasing due to the rising resistance of micro-organisms to antibacterial agents.The SMEs of the NanoTi consortium intend ...

Detection and multimodal presentation of indoor objects for visually impaired people (RANGE-IT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

"The World Health Organisation states that one of 175 people is totally blind. The majority of these people are only mobile if they have help of others, or solely use known pace ways. Besides the cane with a limited range and an expensive guide dog, there are very few aids that support individual mobility of the visually impaired. Available assistant equipment and navigation systems based on GPS h ...

Accelerated development and prototyping of nano-technology-based high-efficiency thin-film silicon solar modules (Fast Track)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

In recent years, the effort in thin-film silicon (TFSi) was made at solving industrialization issues. In 2010, several companies demonstrated 10% stable modules (> 1 m²). The major “bricks” for efficient production are now in place. Next challenges are linked to the fact that TFSi multi-junction devices, allowing for higher efficiency, are complex devices, in which the substrate geometry and each ...
