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.
Inhalable powder combining a local anaesthetic with a hydrophilic biocompatible polymer able to induce prolonged cough suppression
The powder is composed of microparticles suitable for the deposition in the upper airways where the cough receptors are...
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...
Biopharmanet-tec developed an innovative delivery system for the nasal vaccination using dry powders containing at the same time an antigen and an adjuvant in form of a nanoemulsion.
Powders have been obtained by «layering» the antigen and the...
Pulmonary administration of protein drugs or vaccines in the inhaled powder form is an alternative to administration by injection. The technology stems form the project Pulmomed (www.pulmomed.eu). Proteins at high purity level were expressed with a...
Biopharmanet-tec has developed an innovative system for tissue repair and the local release of drugs stimulating regeneration, based on physically modified chitosan. Biocompatible and biodegradable scaffolds are prepared to be applied locally, to act...
Biopharmanet-TEC developed an innovative drug delivery system for the local delivery of anticancer drugs, i.e. a biodegradable polymer thin film. Biocompatible, biodegradable polysaccharide-based film were developed for direct application at the...
The technology for the pulmonary administration of antibiotic drugs in the inhaled powder form is an alternative to administration by nebulization. Therespirable microparticles with high content of aminoglycoside antibiotic were prepared for spray...
Hardware and software design of behaviour recognition and analysis systems starting from data provided by innovative sensor networks, such as the new sensorised floors, or traditional, such as visual sensors, static and PTZ cameras and KINECT. With...
Application for mobile devices (smartphones or wearable video cameras) that allows the surrounding environment, objects and people and their actions and interactions to be recognised and understood. Processing takes place directly on the device, and...
Advanced software tools able to reduce the costs and impact of freight traffic generated by industrial districts taking advantage of the co-location of a number of companies. The nature itself of the Italian virtual enterprise, based on a complex...
The purpose of the research is to analyse and test an innovative software solution supporting scheduling and coordination of activities within an enterprise network. The instrument being developed is a sort of ERP for collaborative small-to-medium...
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...
