Integrated Components for Assisted Rescue and Unmanned Search operations (ICARUS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
"Recent dramatic events such as the earthquakes in Haiti and L’Aquila or the flooding in Pakistan have shown that local civil authorities and emergency services have difficulties with adequately managing crises. The result is that these crises lead to major disruption of the whole local society. The goal of ICARUS is to decrease the total cost (both in human lives and in €) of a major crisis. In o ...

On-line Intelligent Diagnostics and Predictive Maintenance Sensor System Integrated within the Wind Turbine Bus-Bar structure to aid Dynamic Maintenance Scheduling (WIND TURBARS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
Renewable energy (RE) sources have gained a great importance due to their inexhaustibility, sustainability, ecological awareness and supply of energy security. Among all RE sources, wind energy is currently viewed as one of the most significant fastest growing (at an average annual growth rate of more that 26% since 1990), commonly used and commercially attractive source to generate electrical ene ...

Development of the Future Rail Freight System to Reduce the Occurrences and Impact of Derailment (D-RAIL)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
D-RAIL will focus on freight traffic, identifying root causes of derailment of particular significance to freight vehicles, which have a wider range of operating parameters (as a result of the huge range in loads, speeds and maintenance quality) than passenger vehicles. One key question that will be studied is how independent minor faults (e.g., a slight track twist and a failing bearing) could co ...

Universal Failsafe IGBT Package for robust power transmission (UniPack)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
Through a mixture of applied research and development, the Uni-Pack project will deliver technologies to reduce the manufacturing costs and improve the performance of plastic packaged IGBT (Insulated gate bipolar transistor) modules, in particular those for use in Voltage Source Converters (VSC) for High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power transmission. VSC technology enables efficient access to r ...

MyUI: Mainstreaming Accessibility through Synergistic User Modelling and Adaptability (MyUI)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
MyUI will foster the mainstreaming of accessible and highly individualized ICT products – a major issue for e-Inclusion. The project addresses important barriers which include developers' lack of awareness and expertise, time and cost requirements of incorporating accessibility and missing validated approaches and infrastructures.The project's approach goes beyond the notion of Universal Design by ...
