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 activity illustrates the design of a tubular synchronous reluctance linear motor, which mover is made by metal additive manufacturing. Tubular motors are used in industry for several advantages: zero radial force, direct linear motion (more...
In order to compare sports performance of athletes using different sports equipment, the laboratory provides biomechanical, bioenergetic and physiological assessment during sports movements such as running and walking. Available instrumentation...
The efficiency requirements of household appliances are increasingly stringent in response to the growing global demand for saving energy resources. This process involved the use of new technologies and the development of cutting-edge techniques to...
The laboratory offers a solution to optimize flux-weakening control strategies for internal permanent-magnet synchronous machines, also used for light electric vehicles (e.g. motorcycles).
This activity focused on torque management during fast...
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...
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...
