Development of a new extended product-service to overcome size assignment and fitting barriers for children fashion on-line market addressing customer needs (KIDSIZE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
E-commerce has become a focal point of expansion and growth for the consumer goods industry. This rapidly expanding trend provides an opportunity for childrenswear manufacturers to introduce new commercialization channels, enabling to reach a global audience by selling their products directly to customers and being able to open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, the childrenswear sector i ...

HPC-Blade
Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
The design of advanced (composite) wind turbine blades continues to evolve, but central spar-like structures and bonded cores remain the primary load-bearing and profile supporting elements. Aside from structural inefficiencies, these configurations are complex and expensive to manufacture using existing processes. Construction methods, composite-metal connections and loading complexities present ...

Development of a robust cost-effective collision awareness and avoidance system for ground support equipment operating on the airport ramp (RAMPAWARE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Even without taking into account expected increases in airport capacity, ground handling crews responsible for aircraft turnaround are already operating under time constraints and in highly congested areas, often in difficult weather conditions. The outcome is damage on an extraordinary scale, to the hugely expensive aircraft they are servicing. The direct cost of ground accidents involving Ground ...

Optimum Power Extraction of Wind Energy by Small to Medium Scale Wind Turbines (OPTIWIND)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
Each member state in the EU-27 now has a legally binding 2020 target related to the share of renewable energy in their final energy consumption. The most commonly available renewable energy sources are hydro, biomass, PV, CSP, Wind, Geothermal & Wave power. Of these wind is increasingly becoming cost competitive and the cost of wind turbines are dropping as volumes increase. This proposal deals w ...

Ash Ingestion Detection Apparatus for aircraft (AIDA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Aircraft frequently encounter volcanic ash when airborne. In the aftermath of these encounters, virtually the entire fuselage of an aircraft can be contaminated with ash, necessitating a thorough cleaning of the cockpit, instrument panel, circuit breaker panels, passenger and baggage compartments. The electrical and avionics units can be so heavily contaminated that complete replacement is necessa ...

DEVELOPMENT OF A MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SMALL SIZE COMPLEX-SHAPED STRUCTURAL AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS (COMPAIR)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
The manufacturing of plastic mouldings and assemblies is today dominated by low labour regions. This has led to a fall in the European SME market share for moulded components during the last 10 years. European SMEs within this segment need to develop more innovative products and manufacturing processes to be competitive in the market. One of the industries using increasing volumes of plastic and c ...
