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.
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...
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...
Extracorporeal organ support therapies are increasingly spreading for the treatment of critically ill patients. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) replicate the gas exchange functions of native lungs...
Wireless wearable sensors have developed rapidly in recent years, primarily driven by e-health, fitness and wellness applications. The technological evolution of low power microprocessors is enabling to process data locally, saving energy and...
Terra&Acqua Tech Laboratory has developed:
- the localization and georeferenced mapping of nursery areas for veracious clams in lagoon zones, to be used as a decision support tool for the expansion of current nursery areas;
- a process for 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...
The VALSOVIT project has been proposed as a tool of technological innovation for the valorization of the waste of the wine production chain for the production of high added-value substances using sustainable technologies. The main results obtained in...
Availing of new Open Source technologies in the ICT field, the project has experimented innovative hardware and software solutions, that allow an aware use of the water resource at the individual user level and the grey and meteoric water reuse...
The dispenser system BIOMASS DISP mainly consists of a completely isolated fiberglass tank, a submersible pump, pipes connecting to the water supply to the plant and biogas and a bioactive catalyst Biocat + . The system is fed with water from the...
Some agro-food waste products maintain several compounds even after their processing for dietary uses. By using advanced technologies, it is possible to recover specific molecules that can be employed, once extracted and purified, as secondary raw...
The electrochemical approach to water purification is based on the application of an electrical current, therefore the process is remotely controllable and neither personnel intervention nor the use of chemicals are required. The current disinfection...
