Biomarkers of renal graft injuries in kidney allograft recipients (BIOMARGIN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

In renal allograft recipients, 10-year graft survival has not improved over the past decades. Histological examination of graft biopsies has long been the gold standard to confirm graft injuries, but biopsies are invasive and histological grading is not very robust. There is thus a need for robust, non-invasive methods to predict and diagnose acute and chronic graft lesions, to improve patient tre ...

A bio-mimicry enabled artificial sniffer (SNIFFER)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

"The capture and analysis of odours offers significant potential for border security applications related to the detection and analysis of persons, illegal substances and in particular explosives. Dogs - the most effective ""tool"" for detecting and analysing odours - can only be trained for a small sample of odours, get easily tired and are often perceived as intrusive by the public.The SNIFFER p ...

Neuronal NanoCarbon Interfacing Structures (NeuroCare)

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

NeuroCare aims to create better retinal, cortical and cochlear implantable devices through the use of improved interfacing between the electronic implants and living cells. The NeuroCare concept involves low-cost, carbon-based materials, well-adapted for medical implants, because they (i) offer wide range of electronic properties (metal, semiconductor and insulator), (ii) are bio-inert and (iii) a ...

Integrated Magnetic imAgery based on spIntronics Components (IMAGIC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Structures reliability, installations safety and products quality are requirements that industrial sectors must take into account. The stake is to guarantee the integrity of the structures. In transport and nuclear fields, a major stake of people safety is associated. To take up this challenge, industries are users of non destructive testing (NDT) which gathers methods providing information on the ...

Electricity Demand and Supply Harmonizing for EVs (e-DASH)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

The sustainable integration of the electric vehicles requires an intelligent charging system for the real-time\nexchange of charge related data between FEVs and the grid in order to allow the management of:\n• high-current fast-charging for large numbers of FEVs in a brand-independent way\n• price-adaptive charging/reverse-charging at optimum price for the customer\n• the real-time grid balancing ...

Digital and Innovative Technologies for Security and Efficiency of First Responders operation (DITSEF)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"The main problem of First Responders (FR) (fire fighters, police, etc...) in case of crisis at critical infrastructures are the loss of communication and location and the lack of information about the environment (temperature, hazardous gases,etc.). Therefore, during the intervention, there is a gap between the First responders' situation (positioning, health,etc) and the overall view of at their ...

Development of a Novel Integrated Inspection System for the Accurate Evaluation of the Structural Integrity of Rail Tracks (INTERAIL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"The European rail industry is showing signs of steady recovery after a long period of decline. The technological advances in train design have led to the manufacturing of faster, greener and more comfortable trains making rail transport a more attractive option for passengers in comparison with other means of transportation. The ever growing need for the society to employ more environmentally fri ...

imProved reliabIlity inspeCtion of Aeronautic structure through Simulation Supported POD (PICASSO)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"With aging engines and the increase of air traffic in the next 20 years, a central challenge in the aeronautical industry will concern the increase of the efficiency of maintenance which still represents around 20% of an operator’s indirect operating costs. This challenge is particularly important for metallic parts within the engine aircraft industry, because of the criticity of rotative compone ...

Widely Tunable VCSEL using Sub Wavelength Gratings (SUBTUNE)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Wavelength-tunable lasers are key components for future reconfigurable optical networks and for cost-effective and compact telecommunication infrastructures. Moreover, a broadband and continuously tunable laser with high purity emission spectrum is a versatile tool for many sensing applications, e.g. for greenhouse gases (laser absorption spectroscopy) or deformations of buildings (fiber Bragg gra ...

Optimization of Radiation Protection of Medical Staff (ORAMED)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

"The state-of-the-art analysis performed in the FP6 CONRAD project highlighted high extremity doses and a lack of systematic data analysis on exposures to the staff in interventional radiology (IR) and nuclear medicine (NM). To optimize the working procedures in the medical field with respect to radiation protection, a project focussed on improving the knowledge on extremity and eye lens exposures ...

Security of critical infrastructures related to mass transportation (DEMASST)

Start date: Jan 12, 2009, End date: May 11, 2010,

"To develop adequate and well accepted security for mass transportation in Europe and the citizens affected by it, is a formidable task. The malicious threats, particularly those posed by terrorists, require a comprehensive approach: if security improvements are patchy, perpetrators are likely to find the loopholes left. With their open access points and interconnections, surface mass transportati ...
