INtegrated European Signalling System (INESS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

"Due to the seamless guidance by rails, the railway system requires a dedicated signalling sub-system, whereby a major part of the functionality must be ensured and controlled on the infrastructure side. From a European perspective, the traditional signalling is one of the most conservative parts of the railway system strongly bound to the national traditions by all involved parties.Since 1990 the ...

Flexible Patterning of Complex Micro Structures using Adaptive Embossing Technology (FlexPAET)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Compared to conventional light sources, the light producing capacity of a light emitting diode (LED) is virtually unlimited at about a 1/10 of the energy consumption rate and a fraction of the production cost. Due to its point source characteristics an LED requires a means to collimate and shed the emitted light onto larger areas. Diffractive optics (DO) elements consisting of highly complex micro ...
