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.
This custom GSE (Ground Support Equipment) was designed to replicate space conditions on ground (vacuum and temperature gradients) and test selected space hardware for satellites performing also electrical and optical measurements.
Currently, the diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is based on expensive and invasive CT scans, with a 90% negative result.
The NanoAnalyzer detects – through a simple blood test – six specific biomarkers of TBI, providing rapid, non-invasive...
The YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) coating was developed for titanium abutments in dental prostheses to enhance aesthetics and reduce potential allergic reactions. Applied through reactive magnetron sputtering deposition via the PVD-PECVD Centurion...
Central venous pressure (CVP) is an important clinical indicator of progressive cardiac diseases. Venous congestion can be quantified by CVP, and its monitoring is essential to understand and follow the hemodynamic status in patients with heart...
The Chamber for Environmental Control (CEC) is a technology designed to induce dry eye disease (DED) in mouse models, enabling highly controlled preclinical studies. This technology makes it possible to induce environmental stress conditions, such as...
Plasma-assisted Ionized Jet Deposition (IJD) is a technology enabling the fabrication of surface coatings from various materials. Its operating principle involves a pulsed electron beam striking a target material, causing its pulverization and...
Spiral Bevel Gears (SBGs) play a significant role in transferring power between non-parallel shafts. Thanks to the high contact ratio, SBGs are smooth, quiet, and have the ability to bear high levels of torque and power; although, their complex...
EDA is a device assisting in the correct self- or assisted-administration of eye drops, solving the very common problem of low adherence to eye drop treatment and incorrect techniques of eye drop administration.
Even though EDA projecting required...
The cosmetic industry is increasingly interested in the development of innovative cosmetic formulations characterized by a reduced number of functional ingredients of natural origin in order to respond both to new market demands and to the new...
Metal Replacement is the replacement of metal materials (steels, aluminium alloys, cast iron...) with high performing polymeric materials. The recent developments of new and better performing thermoplastic materials allow applications to be extended...
The 100L prototype plant realized (upscalable at 150L) allows the neutralization of liquid waste products of the analysis laboratories and verification of the treatment before the final discharge into the sewer. It can be installed at the...
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a low environmental impact fuel capable of reducing considerably the emissions of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, as required by the European regulation (directive 2012/33 / EU). The CLEANPORT project provided the...
The project has realized solar demonstrators that combine the decontamination of water containing organic substances to the conversion of solar energy into hydrogen. The production of hydrogen represents in this way an added value to the proposal of...
