The target of project is to develop a highly reliable high brightness conformable low cost up scalable display for demanding applications such as their use in cars, aircraft or extreme sports applications. For the time being, in these applications, the LCD is the main display technology. Although its performances are appropriate in such difficult environments, designers are looking for a solution easier to integrate. For example, the LCD backlight makes it very bulky in aircraft, both because it has to supply a lot of light and therefore needs a cooling system but also because of an heavy bezel to handle a high level of vibrations. The backlight is even more critical in systems where the display is bent or is non-rectangular like in innovative design for car but also where the weight is a major issue such as in sports items. The solution to these issues is an emissive display technology for which both lighting and information content are integrated at the pixel level. Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) made tremendous progress in the last 2 years. AMAzOLED is planning to push the technology to its limits to achieve the expected display function for car, aircraft and extreme sports goods. The display will use colour filters on white OLED to achieve the brightness and the reliability for the light emission. The OLED does not have to be referenced to the pixel element. Each pixel element will be driven by a polymorphous TFT with a higher reliability compared to a-Si TFT without degradation on other parameters. Both new OLED and new TFT technologies are compatible with existing industrial means thus limiting the capital expenditure to manufacture the product at a lower cost. The concept is designed to enable 2mm thick big size high-resolution TV products in a near future. The display will be built on peelable polyimide on glass as developed in FLEXIDIS. Using conformal displays offers a higher capability of integration in the envisaged applications.

The adoption of multi- and many-core chips as the architecture-of-choice for mainstream computing will undoubtedly bring about profound changes in the way software is developed. In particular, the use of fine grained locking as the multi-core programmer's coordination methodology is viewed by most experts as a dead-end. The transactional memory (TM) programming paradigm is a strong contender to become the approach of choice for replacing locks and implementing atomic operations in concurrent programming. Combining sequences of concurrent operations into atomic transactions promises a great reduction in the complexity of both programming and verification, by making parts of the code appear to be sequential without the need to program fine-grained locks. Transactions remove from the programmer the burden of figuring out the interaction among concurrent operations that happen to conflict when accessing the same locations in memory. To make TM an effective tool, TM systems will need the right hardware and software support to provide scalability not only in terms of number of cores, but also in terms of code size and complexity. The objective of this project is to understand how to provide such support by developing an integrated TM stack. Such a TM stack would span a system from the underlying hardware to the high end application and would consist of the following components: CPU, operating system, runtime, libraries, compilers, programming languages and application environments. We anticipate that such a fully integrated TM system will not only improve our understanding of TM designs but also greatly help in the adoption of the TM paradigm by the European software industry, making it a tool-of-choice for concurrent programming on multi- and many-core platforms.

Trusted Computing (TC) has become meanwhile an established technology for verification and implementation of integrity and security at personal computers. Similar requirements are also needed for embedded computing platforms which have alike trust and security problems due to the increasing complexity and therefore instability of Os and applications as well as connection to the Internet with its security dangers and attacks. Until now the TC standard is mainly targeted for PCs with their large resources of available code space, specific bus interfaces and large computing power which are not available with embedded platforms. As there are a much higher number of embedded computing platforms like PCs in the field, it becomes a necessity to adapt the current TC standard to embedded platforms. The project will make an systematic approach for the development of trusted embedded systems, consisting of hardware platforms with integrated trust components and also work on the necessary trusted operating systems: 1.Trusted hardware, Trusted Platform Module as VHDL design, which could adapted to different host systems together with processors supporting a trust architecture 2.Trusted operating systems mainly based on the new virtualisation/hypervisor architecture which are already in use at the PC world. Adapting it to the specific requirements of small platforms and trusted modules 3.Security layers for implementing easy accessible security mechanisms. 4.Trusted protocols: Elementary TC protocols like TSS (Host interface API) and TNC (trusted network connect, an advanced secure communication protocol) will be adapted for embedded platforms 5.Application examples will give us feedback about available trust functionality, application friendliness and user requirements. We will use the results and experience from the project to influence the TC standardisation and prepare for application scenarios like mobile phones, communication, e-commerce, industrial and automotive

In the real world, the ratio between full brightness of the sun and complete darkness is in the range of 2.000.000.000:1. But today projection display technology is limited to contrast ratios in the order of 10.000:1. This hinders a convincing simulation and presentation of lighting effects in professional markets such as car styling, architecture and industrial design. What is missing today are interactive visualisation systems that fully support high dynamic range material and light information from the acquisition stage through the processing stage to the display stage. The aim of MAXIMUS is to develop the first system to fully support high dynamic range information throughout the pipeline. Starting with high dynamic range material and light acquisition, providing a high dynamic range real-time light simulation and rendering pipeline and finally displaying maximum fidelity image quality with color gamut enhanced stereoscopic high dynamic range projection technology to bring the total dynamic range to over 5.000.000:1 – a real breakthrough in display technology. Natural gadget-free multi-modal interaction techniques will allow multiple users to easily interact with virtual objects, virtual light sources and materials to compose and configure scenes and evaluate lighting effect rendered in real-time. The system will be evaluated in the professional markets of car styling, architecture and industrial design. The MAXIMUS high fidelity and high dynamic range visualisation system will allow professionals and non-experts (due to its ease-of-use) to evaluate and experience virtual lighting effects convincingly for the first time, thus overcoming many of the acceptance problems of visualisation systems today.

Hypotension (sub-normal blood pressure) adverse events (AE’s) occur commonly in patients managed in intensive care and high dependency units. Health care technology which could reduce the burden of these events by as little as ten percent would equate to at least five billion Euros p.a. saved by European healthcare organisations for use in other treatment regimens The AVERT-IT project will create a novel bed-side monitoring and alerting system dedicated to the prediction of variations in the condition of the patient that are likely to lead to hypotension without appropriate clinical intervention. A world-class consortium consisting of an SME software developer (C3 Global), renown clinical experts (www.brainit.org), Philips medical and Grid experts in secure access to distributed medical datasets will develop and validate the innovative technology using access to a unique and large repository of detailed multi-media patient data drawn from 22 clinical centres in 11 countries created through two recent EC funded projects. A systematic work programme will select appropriate clinical and monitoring inputs (via undertaking data mining and robust statistical analysis of this unique database and other electronic health record systems) to train a novel Bayesian Artificial Neural Network (BANN) to predict subsequent hypotension AE’s. The BANN will form the engine of a novel IT-based decision support system (“HypoPredict”) which will be prospectively validated in 6 clinical intensive care centres using a phase II clinical trial design. The AVERT-IT project will produce a step-change in arterial hypotension prediction within the critical, intensive and high-dependency care environment with a major impact upon health care costs in terms of reduced corrective care, obviated as a consequence of the improved prediction of, and earlier intervention in, hypotension adverse events, and in improved patient outcome with associated reduction in carer-burden.

Mobile communication has changed the way we live and will continue to do so. In future mobile multimedia will be a key driver for mobile communication. As handsets become more video oriented (TV, DVD, MP4, games etc) the small size of handsets forces a more restrictive limit to the size of display. High definition wearable virtual displays for hands-free viewing and low-cost low-power mobile-integrated micro-projection will overcome this restriction. The target of HYPOLED is the development of a next-generation high-specification virtual display platform using novel electronic and optical component technologies. The project will cover innovative device concepts and improved manufacturing concepts for a new generation of photonic system-on-chip for highly integrated display solutions. At the centre of the project is a new microdisplay technology. Microdisplays are very small displays that are viewed under optical magnification. They combine a high quality 'virtual image' similar in size to that seen from a desktop monitor, with very low power consumption. This approach enables video, web pages or high-resolution still images to be viewed on portable consumer products with extended battery life. Microdisplays are already deployed as electronic viewfinders in camcorders and cameras. In future they will be seen in hands-free (wearable) systems and micro-projectors for use with 3G mobile phones, computed games and personal DVD/MP4 players. The project objectives are to develop a hands-free multimedia viewing system that uses the best and most suitable component technologies - emissive OLED microdisplay, light-weight optics and maximum electronic integration – to provide the most appropriate technical specification and value for money for the targeted consumer markets.

The research intends to investigate the interplay existing between vision and motion control, and to study how to exploit this interaction to achieve a knowledge of the surrounding environment that allows a robot to act properly. Robot perception can be flexibly integrated with its own actions and the understanding of planned actions of humans in a shared workspace. The research relies upon the assumption that a complete and operative cognition of visual space can be achieved only through active exploration of it: the natural effectors of this cognition are the eyes and the arms. Crucial but yet unsolved issues we address are object recognition, dynamic shifts of attention, 3D space perception including eye and arm movements including action selection in unstructured environments. We propose a flexible solution based on the concept of visual fragments, which avoids a central representation of the environment and rather uses specialized components that interact with each other and tune themselves on the task at hand. In addition to a high standard in engineering solutions the development and application of novel learning rules enables our system to acquire the necessary information directly from the environment. The study and models of human/primate behavior, based on specific experiments, guide many of our envisaged solutions. Three main objectives will be addressed: - a robotic system for interactive visual stereopsis {composed of: an anthropomorphic mechatronic binocular system; and software vision modules based on cortical-like population, to be used as an experimental platform}. - a model of a multisensory egocentric representation of the 3D space {constructed on binocular visual cues, signals from the oculomotor systems, signals about reaching movements performed by the arm}. - a model of human-robot cooperative actions in a shared workspace {relaying on the concept of shared attention to understand the intention or goal of the communicating partner}.
