This project will provide multilingual terminologies and semantically annotated multilingual documents, e.g., patent texts, to improve the accessibility of scientific information from multilingual documents. The two SME partners will use these resources to improve the quality and functionality of their product offerings, viz. delivering multilingual search and text mining engines based on multilingual terminologies. Both SMEs will market these solutions to their customer base. The MANTRA project capitalizes on parallel document corpora from which translational correspondences will be computed by the use of different alignment methods. Fortunately, the biomedical domain, the application scenario of MANTRA, offers a rich variety of such parallel corpora. We will exploit these multilingual document sets to harvest terms and concept representations in different languages in order to augment currently available terminological resources such as the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). The project partners will collaboratively build two types of resources: automatically enhanced multilingual terminologies and semantically annotated multilingual documents. The novelty of the latter resource derives from the fact that we solicit and orchestrate community efforts for building up these annotated resources, a procedure that has already been proven successful for the semantic enrichment of large-scale biomedical document corpora (CALBC project) which was executed by the project partners. The novelty of the first comes from a new combination of existing technologies in the area of statistical machine translation, named entity tagging and terminological resources. We start from statistically aligned, parallel documents on which named entity taggers are run to produce highly diverse semantic (named entity) annotations. These annotations signal concept mentions in the text which can then be linked to corresponding entries in relevant biomedical ontologies (from the UMLS, OBO or BioPortal umbrellas), and, in addition, provide the corresponding concept identifiers. Parallel named entity occurrences lacking links to the chosen ontologies can be considered as putative translation equivalents. Validated putative translation equivalents can then be used to enhance already given monolingual terminological resources. Both types of resources will be made available to the public for translation purposes and for search in and text mining from multilingual documents.

DOPA will enable European SMEs to become key players in the global data economy, as the impacts of the DOPA RTD activities will likely materialize in both the supply and in the demand side of B2B vertical market segments of the data related services. DOPA has been designed to provide solutions to gaps observed in the EU environment, pointing out the need to develop and implement a source and exploitation platform for economic and financial information in Europe that would altogether: - Have the right scale, to leverage the wealth of information that is created and circulated in today’s information economy especially on the Internet - Lower the technical and financial barrier to access and use, especially for SMEs and research groups with limited capacity - Reflect Europe’s diversity (in terms of languages and countries but also in variety of industries, size etc.) To address these challenges, the DOPA consortium will focus on developing the first large scale and multi-vertical economic and financial data platform useful for all economic actors, regardless of their industry, size and country. It will also open new possibilities for researchers in this domain to design and conduct large-scale data intensive experiments. DOPA is by design an exemplary case of a market driven Research & Innovation endeavor. The proposed advance over the state of the art responds to identified market needs allowing worthwhile S&T driven efforts as well as motivating companies similar to the consortium to join the DOPA environment to buy, trade and integrate high quality data and value-added data services. On top of these traits, the effort to be devoted in advancing as much as possible on development and validation of business models to support effectively hitting the targeted markets is in itself an innovative way to secure sustainable impacts of the DOPA project.

Currently there are a multitude of companies offering Content Analytics and Social Internet Mining services for the purposes of Opinion Mining and Sentiment Analysis. Truly effective Sentiment Analysis is a complex NLP task in monolingual contexts alone. In multilingual contexts the complexity increase many-fold and also presents the challenge of comparison of opinion across languages and cultures. Named Entity Recognition and Classification is also key element to this challenge. As with is often the case in many innovative sectors and industries, a high percentage of SMEs are active offering niche solutions to specific segments of the market and/or domains. Acquiring or developing the base qualifying technologies require to enter this market is and expensive undertaking that redirects limited the resources of SMEs away from offering products and services that the market demands. The OpeNER project has as the goal of reuse and repurposing of exiting language resources and data sets to provide a set of underlying technologies to the broader community. OpeNER will focus on the provision of a supplementary sentiment lexicon with culturally normalised and graduated values. NERC will also be tackled leveraging Linked Data with the aim of bringing multilingual NERC up to par with state of the art in dominant languages. The scope of OpeNER will be restricted to Spanish, English, French, German, Dutch and Italian. The general research of the project will be oriented toward a generic application domain, and later, refined and validated in the Tourism domain. This will be achieved in conjunction with and End User Advisory Board composed of European Tourism Promotion Agencies, an online Tourism Portal and other interested parties. Furthermore, OpeNER will employ proven techniques from the Open Source community and develop an online development community thus ensuring the long term viability beyond the project timeframe. So that the benefits of the project are adopted and extensible to new domains and languages, OpeNER will strive to make the tools and techniques resulting from the project available under Open Source or Hybrid Licenses.

Appropriate curing of the patch resin and the adhesive layer is an essential step to secure the integrity and the sound mechanical performance of a bonded composite repair. Today, the required elevation of temperature is usually achieved by means of resistance heating blankets, which conduct heat to the repair area, regulated through closed loop temperature control, using one or two spot temperature measurements. Even though this method is rather simple and works adequately for small repairs, when larger areas need to be heated, discrepancies, like cold or hot spots, frequently occur, due to variable heat losses, caused by geometrical asymmetry, “heat sinks” etc. The scope of this proposal, further to the know-how of the proposing Consortium in conventional resistance heating and induction heating, is to develop a third heating method called Conductive Skin Heating (CSH). The main advantages of CSH are that the voltage and the current could be very low compared to heat mats because of the very good efficiency of this middle frequency heating, which will be about 50 Hz to 20 kHz. Similarly, the voltage range could be limited between 5 to 100 V, which means that the maximum current in the mat will be less than 100 A, depending on the application and the heating rates which need to be achieved. Consequently, the CSH-mats could be much cheaper, while the electrical danger for the operators and any peripherical electronic devices will be significantly reduced. Additionally, as this method allows heating of very thin foils, the CSH-mats will be very flexible and easy to adapt to complex 3Dgeometries, while they could be easily integrated into the vacuum bag. Consequently, the handling of this thin and lightweight CSH-mats will be much easier compared to the other heating systems used for FRP repair, like thermal blanket and induction heating.

The objective of this project is the implementation of an integrated simulation chain including pre material characteristics, thermo-mechanical processing (forging and heat treatment) and assessment of microstructure and functional properties for aerospace turbine components. The integration of different computational results within an interdisciplinary and intercompany design-chain is a challenging task. A fully integrated simulation chain along the supply chain will give unique benefit for product development with respect to time, cost, and quality. This allows an optimization of the forgings in respect of weight, efficiency and CO2 reduction. Böhler Schmiedetechnik GmbH & Co KG (BSTG) has developed a model for determining the microstructure (e.g. local grain size distribution in a component) from forging and heat treatment simulations. This model is in daily use for thermo-mechanical process design and optimization of turbine disks. In past, recent and future R&D projects, Böhler Schmiedetechnik has developed models for determining the local functional properties depending on the microstructure. In a further step, aiming to the topic of this proposal, the simulation chain is to be integrated into an industrialized useful format, target-aimed to customer needs. Suitable strategies and methods for integration of the pre-material characteristics have to be assessed. The quality of the existing models has to be evaluated together with the customer. Comprehensive statistic investigations work is necessary in order to make the usage of the simulated data possible at the customer. Detailed investigations have to be executed to improve and/or generate functional properties models like yield stress, low cycle fatigue and creep models. Interfaces have to be defined and generated. A validation work has to be examined with forged LPT (low pressure turbine) demonstrator disks which show the effectiveness and model capabilities.

The strong need for higher efficiency, reduced CO2, NOX emissions, weight and noise reduction in aircraft engines leads to a demand of innovative materials with optimized mechanical and physical properties. The special design of new generation geared turbofan aircraft engines with their faster rotating LPT leads to higher temperatures in the turbine, casing and engine mount and thus requires parts with increased high temperature properties. High temperature strength means in most cases bad forgeability and weldability as well as combined with high toughness challenging machinability. Thus, beside of new designs the production processes have to be altered to get high quality parts. The overall goal of this project is an improved understanding of thermomechanical processing and its effect on residual stresses and distortion as well as microstructure and mechanical properties of forgings used for improved temperature exhaust cases. The proposed project consortium has significant experience with regard to nickel base superalloys with higher temperature capability than Inconel718 like Udimet720, Waspaloy, Allvac718Plus, RENE65 and Haynes282. Together with the know-how on residual stress simulation and measurement established in several projects since 2001 a successful realization of this project is possible. Beside project management according IPMA standards six further work packages have been defined. One for radial forging and one for closed die forging will be used to optimise thermomechanical processes based on simulation and to produce demonstrator parts. Open die forgings are used for residual stress and microstructure investigations. Material data for finite element simulation and residual stress modelling will be generated in on work package and verified together with the customer in an other. Residual stress modelling will be verified by neutron diffraction measurements and other methods in the final work package.

The proposed project is part of the Cleansky Eco-Design activities for the all (or more) electric aircrafts. The main targets of the call are related to improved aircraft weight, improved electronic equipment life cycles & reduced maintenance thanks to the use of highly efficient passive (“green”) thermal control systems (as already used on satellite systems). Technical objectives: The EHP proposal is part of the ECO-Design ITD and will address the development, and qualification aspects of highly efficient two-phase cooling devises such as heat pipes and loop heat pipes to be used on board of aeronautical aircrafts. The main objectives are : • Qualify two-phase heat transfer devises in accordance with specific aeronautical requirements such as : o High acceleration loads o Long duration vibration stresses • Reduce global aircraft weight at equipment and/or system level => reduce aircraft consumption and increase operating range • Lower impact on environment through the use of passive and maintenance free thermal equipments • Increase reliability of controlled equipment (power electronics) => decrease repair and maintenance aspects The Ammonia HP and LHP products are today baselined (with a TRL 9) on all Space satellites or payloads thanks to the reliable capability provided by these “isothermal” lightweight thermal management devises. Non-space applications are also more and more considered for these two-phases devises to be used on high power electronic (railway applications) or primary flight control actuators. The AeroL-HP products will be developped up to CDR level with qualification of the two-phase hardware. From a technical side, the proposed thermal link will have to provide a reliable and competitive (generic, modular and low cost) product (Rejected power/mass). The thermal link will be a scalable system able to address payload dissipations from 30W (TBC) up to 900W (or higher).

Cleansky-Green Rotor Craft sub-project 5 is aimed at developing and testing new flight procedures for both helicopters and tilt rotors, aiming at significantly reduce environmental impact in terms of noise and gas emissions. This project contributes to this objective defining and validating, using an integrated Tilt Rotor-ATM simulation platform, new low noise ATC procedures for Tilt Rotor operations. Low-noise procedures in particular will require to accurately track possibly complex and steep trajectories both in take-off and landing, using optimized paths to avoid highly populated areas, using tilt rotors that have the potential to cruise speeds and altitudes compatible with fixed-wing traffic while taking-off and landing similarly to a conventional helicopter. Such a strategy heavily relies on advanced navigation and piloting aids to guarantee an acceptable level of pilot workload while retaining the benefits of the optimized paths. Moreover, future expansion of rotary-wing transportation will ask to fly in low visibility conditions under Instrumental Flight Rules (IFR), similarly to fixed-wing aircraft and using again sophisticated guidance means, as foreseen by SESAR, to ensure safety and low pilot workload. The transportation system will be strongly affected by the increased air traffic level and the need to control rotary-wing vehicles in IFR flight, in particular in terms of workload of the air traffic controllers. The ATM scenario models developed by this proposal will describe the ATM operations for approach and tower/ground control for a short-medium range mission with regard to a context using these new procedures developed for tilt rotors. The inclusion of initial findings of the SESAR initiative on trajectory management will represent another aspect of the innovation of the ATM world taken on board by GRC simulation and of the synergies between the major private/public investments now on-going in Europe.

The objective of this project is to provide a novel, fully operational and commissioned test facility for the system verification of the new, highly complex lean burn engine control system necessary for more fuel efficient medium and large aero-engine system applications. This validation facility does not exist today and capability will include interaction with the donor-engine fuel system with no adverse effect, system performance across the operational envelope, fault insertion, fuel spike measurement, high speed data logging and confirmation of adequate sensing and acquisition. The approach will be to connect the real fuel system components to a drive head using a test skid enabling donor engine and lean burn fuel control system components to be secured in engine and fuel pipe representative positions. The project is split into nine work packages and the overall aim is to design, build and commission a lean burn system test facility utilising the expertise of Aero Engine Controls and SCITEK, an SME, both of whom have pedigree in the development and validation of aero engine control fuel systems. Following successful completion of this project the Partners anticipates upgrading test facilities to the new configuration for future validation of lean burn systems both for development platforms and original equipment manufacture, resulting in increased and sustained employment and supporting the production of potentially 3000 lean burn fuel systems per year.
