Advanced Cockpit for Reduction Of StreSs and workload (ACROSS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Outstanding safety level of air transport is partly due to the two pilots standard. However situations where difficult flight conditions, system failures or cockpit crew incapacitation lead to peak workload conditions.The amount of information and actions to process may then exceed the crew capacity. Systems alleviating crew workload would improve safety.ACROSS Advanced Cockpit for Reduction of St ...

Review and improvement of testing Standards for Refractory products (RESTAR)

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

Refractories are materials essential for all highly industrialised processes which are performed at elevated temperatures e. g. iron- and steelmaking, cement production, glass, ceramics, nonferrous metals, power production and waste incineration Refractories have high economical importance and serve a key function for the industry in Europe. In Europe, most of refractory manufactur are SMEs.The te ...

Low cost, super efficient and jet fire resistant cryogenic thermal insulation half shell structures using geopolymer technology for LNG pipeline applications (CRYOWRAP)

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

Natural gas may be liquefied at -160oC thereby reducing its volume and providing an economic means for its transportation. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) enables gas markets to be connected with more distant export sources thereby improving market competitiveness and stability. Effective thermal insulation is critical to energy management throughout the LNG value chain, impacting on competitiveness a ...

Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction (SECTOR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Torrefaction is considered worldwide as a promising key technology for boosting large-scale implementation of bioenergy. It involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to a temperature of 200 to 320 °C. As a result, the biomass looses all its moisture and becomes easy to grind and water resistant, which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition and biological degradation and permits outdoor s ...

INtelligent Renewable Optical ADvisory System (INROADS) (INROADS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

"This project aims to develop Intelligent Road Studs (IRS) combining LED lighting, sensor systems and communication technologies. The IRS will integrate renewable energy technologies that will fully or partially power the devices, making them self contained. The principle identified renewable technologies are solar photovoltaic and piezoelectric, although other sources will be investigated. Poweri ...

Advanced Microwave Plasma Gasification of pig and cow manure for cost-effective biogas generation (PLAGASMIC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"The livestock sector in Europe is facing a problem: The manure it generates cannot all be used as fertiliser because excessive amounts of manure to land can lead to surface and ground water contamination through the accumulation of minerals in the soil, as manure contains high amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus. The EU has legislated to place severe restrictions on the quantity of organic manure ...

Publish Subscribe Internet Technology (PURSUIT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The current Internet architecture focuses on communicating entities, leaving aside the exchanged information. However, trends show that WHAT is exchanged is becoming more important than WHO are exchanging it. As a result, the Internet is effectively moving from interconnecting machines to interconnecting information, questioning the necessity of endpoint identifiers as a foundation of internetwork ...

Intensified Heat Transfer Technologies for Enhanced Heat Recovery (INTHEAT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"A core part of this proposal is the development of methodologies to select and rigorously design the appropriate type of enhancement technology into energy optimisation studies to a practical level, whereby process plant engineers can plan and carry out plant energy reduction programmes in which they will have confidence. The project aims to achieve at least 20% to 30 % energy savings in the ener ...
