WindScanner.eu - The European WindScanner Facility (WINDSCANNER)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The future high rate of deployment of renewable energy will require a substantial increase in the installed wind power capacity towards 2020 and beyond, in fact this demand corresponds approximately to the installation of one large turbine every hour for the next decade. This is a substantial “grand challenge” as outlined in the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) from 2009, which is the t ...

Novel Self-cleaning, anti-bacterial coatings, preventing disease transmission on everyday touched surfaces (SELFCLEAN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Hygiene/antimicrobial issues in public places (hospitals, schools, hotels, public transportation etc) are of crucial importance as inattention could lead to spread of viral diseases or epidemics and consequently to deaths. A typical example is that of hospital acquired infections (HAI). According to The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in the EU, about 3,000,000 are infect ...

EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF AIR AND INSECT BORNE PATHOGENS AND DISEASES IN EUROPEAN BROILER HOUSES (AirPath)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The problem and AirPath solution This project targets a large group of SMEs with a shared need. In Europe there are more than 50,000 broiler breeders who are facing a major problem concerning control of air- and insect-borne pathogens in their broiler houses, which results in high infection rates of the broiler flocks. This is partly caused by insects – especially flies – entering the broiler hous ...

Flexible Patterning of Complex Micro Structures using Adaptive Embossing Technology (FlexPAET)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Compared to conventional light sources, the light producing capacity of a light emitting diode (LED) is virtually unlimited at about a 1/10 of the energy consumption rate and a fraction of the production cost. Due to its point source characteristics an LED requires a means to collimate and shed the emitted light onto larger areas. Diffractive optics (DO) elements consisting of highly complex micro ...
