A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
The use of three-dimensional supports (scaffolds) as a guide to cellular growth in culture, fosters considerable hopes in the field of regenerative medicine. The electrospinning technology makes it possible to produce nanofibrous scaffolds able to...
The implemented Social Business Intelligence system makes it possible to interpret and analyse unstructured texts generated and collected from the web, to extract qualitative and quantitative assessments. Specifically, the system exceeds the...
CIRI ICT laboratories have developed an innovative distributed Private Cloud Computing platform based on open-source software, as a valid alternative to expensive industrial solutions available on the market typically targeted to large size...
In innovative-design automatic machines, the motion laws of the end-effectors (EEs) may be varied by programming motion profiles imposed by electrical drives. However, EEs normally have one degree of freedom only and cannot change the type of...
Implementation of a low cost embedded vision system with the use of smart cameras based on low-cost embedded hardware, where optics, acquisition sensor, processing and communication hardware are integrated in a single device. This aspect, on one hand...
Redox has developed an immediate liquid and gas heating technology, conducive to obtaining energy efficiency greater than 90% and response time of less than one second. The technology consists in constructing a high efficiency, low thermal inertia...
An innovative drug release system based on a modular technology has been developed at the University of Parma. The release modules, consisting in tablets or polymeric matrices, have been prepared to be assembled in a single structure, forming the...
Three-dimensional reconstruction of the surrounding environment is needed in a number of industrial sectors: from access control to Automatic Guided Vehicles for goods handling. 3DV is a product which stems from VisLab's many years of experience in...
The new method makes it possible to reconstruct hollow shapes, namely the inner surface of a prosthetic socket, starting from the images photographed from various viewpoints using a common camera. The software allows a three-dimensional model to be...
Assessment of in vitro effects of drugs, active ingredients and neo-synthesis molecules on primary cultures of human endothelial cells (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells and adult Vein Endothelial Cells) through monitoring i) cellular...
