A fully automatic method and apparatus for economical and long-lasting patching of potholes (HOLEINONE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Pothole repair in road networks is one of the most commonly performed operation for most road maintenance teams, especially in areas where cold winters and wet springs contribute to accelerated road surface breakup ever year. The poor condition and lack of maintenance of European roads contribute to at least one third of all accidents each year, and accounting to 52.7% of fatalities in 2011. Potho ...

Development of corneal biomechanical model. Dynamic topographical characterization based on 3D plenoptic imaging (POPCORN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Uncorrected refractive errors are the second leading cause of blindness. Procedures detecting and correcting those errors, such as regular eye exams, glasses or contact lenses or refractive laser based surgery, could thereby transform the lives of millions of people. It is known that successful laser based refractive eye surgery can reduce or even cure common vision refractive errors, as well as, ...

Development of a passive location and identification sonar tag for assisting in the laying, installation and long term monitoring of subsea cables and pipelines (SonaTag)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Expansion of offshore oil & gas fields is inevitable. This will require significant investment in new pipelines to bring the resource onshore. 10,000km of pipelines form part of the oil & gas infrastructure in the North Sea. Combined with the huge growth in the installation of offshore wind farms & telecommunication networks, many thousands of kilometres of newly installed subsea cables & pipeline ...

The development of a modular ‘stepping locomotion’ system for installation on subsea trenching machines used for subsea energy cable burial (HEXATERRA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Offshore wind and tidal energy generation is becoming an increasingly important component of the world’s energy mix with Europe at the forefront of this technological revolution. Continued strong growth is predicted. However, a growing problem is manifesting itself within the industry.The submarine cables that are an essential infrastructural component of offshore energy now account for 80% of ins ...

Breast biopsy system guided by Positron Emission Mammography allowing real-time 3D visualization of tumour lesion and needle insertion guidance for higher sampling accuracy and efficiency (MAMMOCARE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women and one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality and early diagnosis is essential to reduce the risk of mortality. First diagnostic tool is clinical imaging (mainly Mammography and Ultrasound) but suspicious findings usually require a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis; 2% of women who undergo a screening mammogram will require some type ...

The development of a high power density RAPID response on demand water HEATing technology (RAPIDHEAT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

The RapidHeat project utilises emerging materials science applied in the power electronics industry and an efficient heat management system to develop a modular, high flow rate, on demand, in line water heater for flexible and rapid response to hot water demand. Its low cost, light weight and small size will enable flexibility in the design of hot water systems minimising cost and energy consumpti ...

Safe, Chemical-Free, Cleaning of Hospital Ward Surfaces (Cleanward)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Cleanward aims to develop a novel, safe, user-friendly anti-microbial cleaning system, using titanium dioxide coated ultra-microfibre fabric that will integrate easily into existing contract cleaning equipment: it will achieve log105 microbial removal and the coating will react with water and UV to produce a highly reactive environment: this will kill all harmful micro-organisms quickly and thorou ...

Integrated Thermal Energy Reduction, Recovery & Re-use in Autoclave based Composites Processing (ENRSYS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

Our Idea is to develop an integrated, computer controlled, heat recovery, reuse & thermal energy management system centred on the autoclave with re-use of thermal energy in the post-cure ovens or autoclaves, and possibly in the clean room air filtration/cooling system. The proposed system will extract heat from the autoclave to match existing cooling rates that are specified by material manufactur ...

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 ...
