Innovative Packaging for the Detection of Fresh Meat Quality and Prediction of Shelf-Life (TOXDTECT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
...h meat wastes are produced every day.The aim of TOXDTECT project is to develop an Intelligent Packaging solution for fresh Bovine meat products. The proposed system will consist of a passive array of sensors easily embedded within the package at low cost via printing. An external reader will power the sensors and will correlate the different parameters measured in the headspace in order to determi ...

Cavity Enhanced Microarray as an Ultra-sensitive Tool to aid Sepsis Diagnosis (CE-MICROARRAY)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2016,
Sepsis is a life-threatening illness caused by the body’s overreaction to an infection and can be triggered either directly by infection or may occur after medical treatment or surgery.The mortality rate in patients admitted to hospital with severe sepsis is 28-50% and it remains the most prevalent cause of death in non-coronary Intensive Care Units (ICUs ). It is estimated that in the US ~$17 bil ...

Saponification pre-treatment and biosensors based control system for slaughterhouse waste anaerobic digestion improvement (ADAW)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
Slaughterhouses (mainly for pigs, cattle and poultry which make up almost 93% of the total world meat production) produce large amounts of different wastes and wastewaters. Direct disposal of highly polluted wastewater and organic residues into the sewerage system without prior treatment on the other hand is mostly not acceptable due to resulting environmental and ecological problems and the risk ...

Cost-driven Adaptive Factory based on Modular Self-Contained Factory Units (COSMOS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
Wind turbines and aeronautic are sectors where Europe is leading the world class competition. To guarantee this competitiveness, their productivity has to be improved. The adoption of an automation strategy is a key factor to increase productivity. In the wind turbine manufacturing, the assembly is one of the core processes. Most of these assembly operations are manual which has the quality of bei ...

Developing quarantine pest detection methods for use by national plant protection organizations (NPPO) and inspection services (QDetect)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
Detection methods are the first tools used by national plant protection organisations (NPPO) and inspection services in order to find incursions of quarantine plant pathogens or pests (Q-pests) across a border, a crucial step to implement Council Directive 2000/29/EC. This is often done visually in the first instance, with support from a laboratory for confirmatory testing and subsequent monitorin ...

...ocarbons which have a high global warming potential and so contribute further pollutants. We will develop a refrigerant leakage monitoring system based on a network of low-cost surface acoustic wave sensors. This will enable the refrigerant charge of a system to be maintained at the optimum level so that it operates at the design maximum COP. The benefit of this system will be a decrease in ope ...
