Development of materials, processes, and means to enable the application of Piezoelectric materials in aero engine controls (AEROPZT)
Start date: May 12, 2014, End date: May 11, 2016,
The ACARE targets for civil aircraft include NOx and CO2 emissions reductions of 80% and 50% respectively by 2020. Although airframes make a significant contribution, most of the balance (especially NOx) will be contributed by the engines. These contributions are expected to be achieved by lean burn, increased propulsive efficiency and increments in cycle efficiency via reduced component losses. ...

Novel technology for HIgh-PERformance piezoelectric Actuators (HIPER-Act)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
... applications. The high production costs and problems related to obtaining reliable components explain that the utilization of piezo actuators up to now is far from having reached its full potential. Noliac and its partners for the IP are proposing a radical innovation in the piezoelectricity field, based on an enhanced understanding of materials degradation. This will greatly improve the properti ...

"An innovative passive humidification device delivering improved performance, reduced healthcare costs and greater patient care" (HUMID)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2010,
"Humidification is an essential function of the nose and mouth to ensure normal health and function of the respiratory system. During surgery and within the intensive care unit, the patient’s upper airway tract is bypassed to assist breathing and enable controlled delivery of medical gases; and thus artificial means must be used for humidification. The state of the art provides two main devices: a ...
