Hyper-Spectral Imaging and Sensing in the THz Frequency Range (HYPERIAS)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
"HYPERIAN seeks to exploit the advantages of combining efficient THz generation from tuneable sources with direct detection using silicon CMOS technology to construct a THz system for hyper-spectral imaging and identification of materials, including explosives in near-field and stand-off modes. Hyper-spectral imaging within HYPERIAS will be supported by activities in the area of imaging algorithms ...

STIFFness controllable Flexible and Learn-able manipulator for surgical OPerations (STIFF-FLOP)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Description
Design and fabrication of a soft robotic arm that can reconfigure itself and stiffen by hydrostatic actuation
In Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), tools go through narrow openings and manipulate soft organs that can move, deform, or change stiffness. Currently, there are limitations on ...

Efficient Cooling Systems for QUieter Surface Transport (ECOQUEST)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,
"An important subsystem in surface transportation vehicles (rail bound, automotive and heavy duty) is the cooling unit. Present European standards for interoperability of rail bound traffic require low noise levels while manufactures need to meet the vehicle performance and energy efficiency requested by the operators. The stringent EU6 emission limits expected to come into effect will increase dr ...

Adaptive and Passive Flow Control for Fan Broadband Noise Reduction (FLOCON)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
"Air traffic is predicted to grow by 5% per year in the short and medium term. Technology ad-vances are required to achieve this growth without unacceptable levels of noise. FLOCON addresses this issue by reducing fan noise at source through the development of innovative concepts based on flow control technologies. FLOCON is aimed primarily at reducing fan broadband noise. This is one of the most ...
