"A novel, integrated, wheelchair and hoist system" (HOMEHOIST)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
"The objective of the project is to produce a wheelchair with an integral hoist system. This will allow for more independent living, a reduced need for lifting and manual handling from carers and a reduction in the number of costly disability aids within the home.The Homehoist system will function initially as an everyday wheelchair, but will also be capable of lifting the user at certain positio ...

Demonstration & Deployment of a Commerical Scale Wave Energy Converter with an innovative Real Time Wave by Wave Tuning System (WAVEPORT)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,
In the Atlantic arc from Iceland to Portugal, Europe has some of the best natural wave resources in the world; with the total potential European ocean wave power estimated to be in the range 150 -240 TWh per annum. The main barrier to wave energy expansion is the lack of a large, commercial-scale demonstration of the technology. In addition, the efficiency of devices is limited and needs to be imp ...

Development of Nanotechnology-based High-performance Opaque & Transparent Insulation Systems for Energy-efficient Buildings (NANOINSULATE)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2014,
NANOINSULATE will develop durable, robust, cost-effective opaque and transparent vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) incorporating new nanotechnology-based core materials (nanofoams, aerogels, aerogel composites) and high-barrier films that are up to four times more energy efficient than current solutions. These new systems will provide product lifetimes in excess of 50 years suitable for a variety o ...

Ultra - thin conductive ceramic mesh to monitor stress and wear on a steel surface (MesMesh)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,
The aim of the project is the development of a pre-commercial prototype mould with built in continuous structural health monitoring. This will be achieved by carrying out research work appropriate for developing femtosecond laser metal processing techniques to produce smooth walled and depth-controlled grooves on metal parts. In these groves a TiN/Al2O3 composite will be sintered in a few micron t ...
