A wearable miniaturized fall detection system for the elderly (FallWatch)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2011,
Falls among the elderly occur frequently. Approximately 30% of people over 65 fall accidentally each year, and for those over 80 this rate raises up to 50%. Falls are an important factor in the health limitations of the elderly due to a high morbidity caused by physical and psychological consequences, loss of independence and even death. Late or non existing responses cause 2 million persons havin ...

Into the twillight zone: testing jet launching and collimation engines with near-infrared and (sub-)mm interferometry (TWILIGHTZONE)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2010,
"The quest for the origin of stars and planets is one of the main thrusts of modern astronomy playing a leading role in the science cases of new instruments and infrastructures, in the ground and space. A major open question in this field is the understanding of the physical mechanisms responsible for the launching and collimation of jets and winds from young stars. Such a mechanism is of wide ast ...
