Retrofitable Automated Microtome System incorporating contactless sample transportation for Histology process (MICROLEAN)

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

Histology is the microscopic examination of cell tissue samples and is routinely performed in research labs and, more widely, in hospitals for the early detection of diseases (histopathology). Histology is a complex process requiring several steps for the tissue sample preparation. The most demanding and time-consuming step is the microtomy, where the tissue sample, now dehydrated and placed insid ...

ELECTRONIC NOSE TO DETECT HALOANISOLES IN CORK STOPPERS (ENCORK)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"Inasmuch as it is expected that cork stoppers will continue to be the preferred choice of wine bottlers, it is necessary to address a major drawback associated with the use of cork. Cork taint refers to a common fault in wine, associated with the presence of haloanisole compounds (particularly, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole or TCA) in large enough concentrations above 2ppt (2ng/l) to degrade the sensori ...

A MICROARRAY TOOL FOR EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF FUNGAL GRAPEVINE TRUNK DISEASES IN EUROPEAN VINEYARDS (MYCORRAY)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

MYCORRAY addresses a need identified by winegrowing sector SMEs for early, reliable, simultaneous identification of the 11 most relevant grapevine trunk fungi responsible for the most harmful diseases of grapevines, with crop losses estimated at thousands of millions of Euros in the EU alone every year.With an estimated commercial price of €1,500 per device and €30 per test, MYCORRAY will allow to ...

Novel algae-based solution for CO2 capture and biomass production (ALGADISK)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The aim of the ALGADISK project is to develop a modular, scalable, and automatic biofilmreactor for Algae biomass production, with low operational and installation costs. Thereactor will be designed to capture CO2 from industrial emissions to produce high valueorganic products. In this system, algae will be grown both in an aqueous environment andon biocompatible surfaces, allowing for CO2 absorpt ...

Enable the powder metallurgy process to expand to new markets with more reliable parts and lower manufacturing costs through the inspection of green parts (DIRA-GREEN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Powder metallurgy is the major manufacturing route for a wide range of industrial parts which are produced by cold pressing powder in a die and sintering the resulting green body in a furnace. The design of a tool, set for a new product, is made with a trial-and-error procedure that generates surplus costs and delays. The optimization of the process is time consuming, due to the lack of fast and s ...

INTELLIGENT WELDING CLAMP DESIGN SOFTWARE USING COMPUTER-AIDED OPTIMIZATION FOR SMES TO ACHIEVE HIGH PRECISION ASSEMBLY (CLAMPIT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

Welding workshops operated by SME companies are a basic unit of industrial manufacturing. Economic pressures are forcing these firms to find solutions for wasteful and time consuming tasks, like creation of custom clamping assemblies for each set of pieces to be welded. The design and fabrication of the clamping assembly itself involves time and costs both for design and fabrication. These clampin ...

Welding process planning and parametric pricing software solution for SMEs (WELD-IT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"Welding is a major route of fabricating steel and thermoplastic structures and therefore approaches a reasonable portion of industrial and other sectors. When designing a joint, from an engineering point of view, many aspects have to be taken into account such as amount of load, nature of load, sheet thickness, material, welding technology, etc. But on the other hand, as an industrial process, th ...
