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...
An automatic system for laser marking was developed in cooperation with Robby Moto Engineering (RME), by adding a vision system to a LASIT commercial marker. The system is able to recognize the pieces inserted in the machine and autonomously complete...
The DIGIMAN project aims to develop tools to support the transformation of a generic industrial machinery into a Cyber-Physical System. This result will be possible thanks to the definition and implementation of a hardware-software platform, called...
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...
The evolution of machine tool industry is linked to the stakeholders’ need to constantly increase productivity, which means constantly improving the applied technologies. The research for increased sustainability, combined with the reduction of...
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...
Titanium alloys and Ni-based super-alloys are notoriously difficult to machine materials mainly because of their low thermal conductivity. This causes high cutting temperatures with a consequent triggering of a series of problems related to thermal...
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 experiences accumulated within the MUSP Laboratory in the field of redesig and, more broadly, design of structural parts of various types of machine tools, with conventional materials (especially electro-welded steel) and innovative ones such as...
In the industrial realm it is now possible to have large amounts of data in various applications, from process monitoring to adaptive control. This “data rich” environment is mainly supported by two factors: the continuous development of high...
