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...
Many machines have a noise emission largest of 80 dB (A) at the workplace and therefore carry a risk of moise exposure for workers; the demands of the market are to be more and more towards a noise level less than this threshold, thus the...
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...
The assessment of product quality using objective techniques and the identification of defects or malfunctions during testing play an increasingly dominant role in enterprises. These objectives may often be pursued by studying the vibratory signal...
Especially over the last few years, the aspects connected to vibro-acoustic issues have been playing a key role within the design pathway of industrial products and machinery. In particular, following regulations that limit the emission of vibration...
Remote monitoring and control of automatic machines and systems is one of the most interesting ICT application sectors at industrial level. The i-Maintenance platform by CenTec allows monitoring and control, diagnostics and prognostics, configuration...
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...
The development of customised test benches for R&D laboratories addresses the need by Businesses to reduce the time for new products' development and improvement of existing ones. To this end it is essential to have tools with a user-friendly...
The design decisions of many small and medium-sized companies that produce turbomachines in specific sectors are based more on experience than on an analytical approach. In fact, fluid dynamics simulation software often requires very costly licences...
