Innovative management of energy recovery for reduction of electrical power consumption on fuel consumption (RENERGISE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

"The issue of high efficiency has to be dealt with appropriate converter design; more specifically, the research team will study and develop the following solutions: (i) AC/DC conversion will be implemented by the use of parallel converters. These converters will be hierarchically controlled, depending on the recovered energy amount. So each time the number of “active” converters will be the one t ...

Methodology and SW libraries for the design and development of GALILEO/EGNOS-based POSiTiOning applications for smartphones (POSTO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"In the area of Location Based Services (LBS), smartphone-based positioning applications are built on positioning data mainly provided by GPS, which in many cases may become problematic due to the low accuracy provided (thus preventing the take-up of services with high accuracy constraints) and the non-availability of confidence-level in the positioning information, the so-called integrity.GNSS Au ...

Environmentally Sustainable Manufacturing of Ultra-Functional Miniaturised Consumer Electronics Using Hyper-Fine Solder Powders (HYPERSOL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

"The total EU electronics industry employs ≈20.5 million people, sales exceeding €1 trillion and includes 396,000 SMEs. It is a major contributor to EU GDP and its size continues to grow fuelled by demand from consumers to many industries. Despite its many positive impacts, the industry also faces some challenges connected with the enormous quantity of raw materials that it needs for sustainabilit ...
