In PALAST active and passive load alleviation techniques will be reviewed together. The passive measures require modification of the primary structure and thus influence the dynamic response of the wing. An active load alleviation scheme for an aircraft is based on its static and dynamic structural behavior. Therefore, a significant interaction of passive and active load alleviation technique is expected. Identification, analysis and optimization of these effects will be performed by a coupled flight-dynamic and aeroelastic simulation model with both load alleviation techniques implemented. A baseline structural model will be parameterized over multiple structural parameters, considering the composite layup of wing panels and stringers, which is normally employed for wingbox structural optimization. This enables a variable stiffness layout which may frequently be adapted in the analysis procedure. Finally, a structural optimization task will be performed, exploiting maximum efficiency of active and passive load alleviation. PALAST enables and develops technology for a multidisciplinary design approach, using combined active and passive load control. Taking into account all advantages of load alleviation, as well as possible detrimental interactions, a reasonable structural design with minimized weight can be achieved. Lightweight structural design takes a key role in reduction of fuel consumption and related CO2 emission, one of the “ACARE Vision 2020” goals.

Isolated incidents due to increased, toxic emissions in pellet storages have aroused great relevance and urgency on operational and customer safety in wood pellet supply chains. Reportedly two cases of death have occurred in large size vessels for ocean transportation and in harbour facilities. Another three incidents were reported in end-users´ storage rooms, the last of which resulted in the death of a German engineer. Furthermore, measurements in pellet storages show significantly increased CO concentrations for a relevant number of storages. Until now a definitive cause for increased CO concentration could not be found. Within this project the different approaches and results on safety in pellet supply chains are linked with each other and integrated to a supranational scope. This is of great importance as pellet markets are no longer isolated, but increasingly grow to international resource flows. In this regard, decisive parameters like the amount of off-gasses and the potential for self-heating related to the time from pellet production to end use as well as the raw material composition of pellets resulting from their origin have to be investigated within international scope. The proposed project aims to answer the question, where and under which conditions off-gassing and self-heating from biomass pellets occurs and what measures can be undertaken to reduce these risks. In turn, this project will end out into a draft for setting an international standard on safety measures and inspection methods along the whole pellets supply chain (e.g. by developing Material Safety Data Sheets for wood pellets). This safety issue is decisive for the further extension of pellets markets and thereby reflects high relevance for all enterprises in the pellet utilisation chain.

The objective of the project is to develop and manufacture µSJA based on silicon technologies. To reach the required output velocities of the µSJA, the chamber and the exit channel or nozzle will be optimized using different analytic and numeric methods. Based on the results of the optimization, a design will be investigated and transferred to silicon based structures. The production of the µSJA will be performed in the clean rooms of the ZfM and will be realized on wafer-level. The two different parts of the µSJA, the cavity and the diaphragm are micro-machined and wafer bonded in order to form the actuator. The diaphragm-wafer’s backside is wet etched in order to produce a membrane in two different thicknesses, 40 µm and 70 µm. The cavity-wafer in contrast, is prepared by a sequential etching process with the same etchant. In the first step the orifice will be preliminary etched with a depth of 400 µm. The second step equates the continuing etching of the orifice and the production of the cavity geometry. The achievements of these two processes are 3D nozzle structures of the orifice in a required aspect ratio and a very small cavity, resulting in a higher pressure gradient which leads to a much higher jet velocity compared to a dry anisotropic etched orifice combined with a huge cavity. This creates the main advantage compared to known layouts. Then, the two parts are bonded to form a small cavity with an orifice on the one side and a diaphragm on the opposite side. Finally, the piezo disc will be mounted on the back side of the diaphragm into the wet etched cavity. To integrate the electro mechanical transducer, in this case the PZT element, into the system, investigations of reactive bonding technologies for the use of PZT silicon bonding will be done. Thus, the strength of the low temperature bond of the ceramics, concerning low inducted mechanical stress, can be optimized.

The rapidly growing use of high-performance composites in helicopter applications shows the clearly need to demonstrate eco-friendly processes for specific structural components, based on innovative processes. In order to achieve a step-change in the processing of highperformance thermoplastic composites in larger-volume applications, DEfcodoor focuses on achieving radical advances in the final consolidation step of integrated structures. Subcomponents and feasible articles will be realized using a new consolidation process using laser assisted TFP (thermoplastic fiber placement) and a thermoforming process. The new process will be demonstrated on technology feasibility articles including the post-consolidation of customized blanks and pre-consolidated parts. Validation will be carried out in a comprehensive test series and input data for Life Cycle Analysis tools will be supplied.

The overall goal of the proposed project is to promote more sustainable transport through the development of electromobility solutions for cities and regions (ELMOS). The projects aims at delivering concepts for a better exchange of electromobility knowledge at regional and EU level, concepts for new business models and for cross-border field tests which should lead to an improved standardisation in electromobility technology and to new insights in applied science. The project therefore, contributes to enhance the regional capacities for a fostering of the sustainable transport-related economy. Electric vehicles are regarded as one of the cleanest solutions for urban mobility. Due to daily congested roads in and around agglomerations with highly polluting stop-and-go traffic, electromobility with zero-emissions in cities will bring large and quick gains in greenhouse gas reduction and alleviation of air and noise pollution. Moreover, innovative green vehicle concepts will lead to new and sustainable mobility forms in urban mobility. Some already see a new electric mobility age to come up. However, a fast uptake of electromobility depends on appropriate regional infrastructures, a shift in user patterns, and intelligent vehicle-use concepts embedded in the urban transport environment. The market potential is considered to be enormous. The working scheme is designed to achieve these objectives: High-level expert round tables and international networks will gather additional expertise. Two EU-mentoring regions are involved from the start. From the sectors ICT, automotive and renewable energy, four ma-ture and two less RDCs in geographically linked regions participate. Their intended set-up of joint concepts for electromobility cross-border testing has never been done so far. As con-crete outcomes, concepts for smart specialisation, a joint agenda for future RTDI and train-ing tools will be developed and exciting dissemination actions undertaken. Given the complexity of the electromobile technology deployment EU-wide triple helix ap-proach is a prerequisite and the support by a «Regions of Knowledge» project is thus, re-garded as a great chance.

The HighPMAAC project will create, design, develop and validate a new High Performance Modular architecture of Acquisition and Control Command system dedicated to test Electrical Systems for Aeronautics in an efficient way. This new architecture will allow easily to perform tests in an “independent way” at the Equipment Level. We’ll then be able to perform tests at System Level, providing a full integrated test system. We’ll use a distributed synchronized front-ends system, with high capabilities in terms of synchronized data acquisition rate, simulation, synchronized stimulation, modularity and adaptability. The architecture will be based on modular subsystems allowing operators to adapt easily the front-ends to the characteristics and needs of each equipment. Synchronization mechanisms and monitoring at high data rate allow performing secure integration tests with high quality of acquired data, for a fine exploitation of electrical behaviour propagation. The whole system is validated through the Electrical Test Bench and constitutes the Control and command system of this ETB. Associated to the dedicated wiring, it will be possible to supervise tests of Aircraft representative power networks. It is also important to note that this distributed system will include simulation capabilities, implementing "Hardware In The Loop" possibilities and may address other application requiring combination of Supervision, Monitoring, high performance Data acquisition and exploitation. For this, the consortium -motivated by its will of sharing respective know-how- will invest in this project with the intention to being a key partner concerning this kind of needs in the future. It will set up the basic requirements of such a system, then conceive and develop the hardware and software solution. This will lead to increase competitiveness of the European aeronautic industry by reducing the tests and validation phases and thus reduce the time to market of the aeronautics products.

Modern agriculture is at the stage of industrial production requiring high precision farming tools to organise the joint work on a field and the transportation of agricultural goods. Farms merge into bigger cooperatives in order afford the complex and more powerful machines and in the end increase their competitivity. The GeoPAL project will significantly contribute to frame and steer the development of “smarter” and “greener” in-field and inter-field transport systems in bio-production, taking the advantages provided by the high accuracy of the European GNSS navigation functions. The overall aim of GeoPAL is to provide an advanced logistics system for the harvesting and distribution functions of the bio-production related supply chains by the integration of cross cutting issues such as improvement of resource efficiency, improvement of GHG emissions balance, concerns of sustainable production, industrialisation/automation of production, and further development of the competitiveness attained by the European industries in the global market. The application will build on existing modules pre-developed by the partners to design a new prototype including: - fleet management and logistics (operations management tools and the required ICT systems) - coordination, mission and route planning functionalities for field machinery - closed loop integrated optimal planning, execution of automated field operations, and monitoring The prototype is planned to be further upgraded after the project duration to be launched on the market. The idea of the project is to fully assess the market potential of the software to prepare for market uptake. GeoPAL will be led by the market leader CLAAS Agrosystems, and will bring in the experience of 2 SMEs, LACOS (specialist in guidance, navigation software), LEE (specialist in bioenergy and agricultural cooperative) and the Biosystems Engineering Dept. of University of Aarhus (specialist in operations management systems in bio-production).

A correct behaviour of any utilities (Gas, water, electric networks, telecom networks and so on) requires a timely and continuous intervention of maintenance teams for resolve faults and provide network adjustments and control. Frequently the maintenance teams are equipped with positioning devices useful to locate where is required the intervention but, in many cases, the information provided are too inaccurate or worse not available due to the not visibility of GNSS satellites. The problems above mentioned have limited the application of location based services (LBS) in the utilities domain and the GNSS usage is applied mainly to the survey activities. It is possible, in any case, to envisage a wide range of advantages if the maintenance teams could use a precise, reliable, cost effective, positioning information anywhere and anytime. Our idea is strongly based on EGNOS-EDAS adoption in order to provide to the maintenance teams a terminal able to determine the position with a sub-metric precision and able to update the company GIS database when is needed. Our idea is strongly based on EGNOS-EDAS adoption in order to provide of LBS to the maintenance teams by means of a terminal able to determine the position with a sub-metric precision and a positioning infrastructure. The terminal will acts as an accurate ‘in-car navigator’ in order to indicate the best route for intervention and will able to display contextual information related to the maintenance activities (e.g. a detailed map of the utility network within the intervention area). Respect other similar solutions already available on the market (e.g. Trimble products) our solution will be able to determine the position when the satellite signals don’t are available. This goal will be achieved starting by the last accurate EGNOS-EDAS position detected and using other ancillary positioning methods and devices as GSM triangulation, accelerometers, gyroscopes.

The PREMISE project aims to embed Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) technology in Galileo's Public Regulated Service (PRS) receiver security module in order to achieve low cost of silicon security and higher tamper resistance. Security is a vital part of PRS receivers as they handle sensitive data in uncontrolled environments. PRS receivers combine a challenging set of requirements including low-cost, security and tamper-resistance. PREMISE will research and derive the advantages which can be obtained by introducing PUF technology into PRS design, focusing on both the end product itself as well as the manufacturing process. The project will analyze PRS constraints and requirements and combine these with the intrinsic PUF security and cost benefits to obtain architectural building blocks that will serve as a basis for prototyping but also as reference to analyze potential side-channel attacks and countermeasures to protect against these. Major achievements expected are protection against tampering and counterfeiting, higher security at an acceptable cost and robust secure authentication. The work will integrate results from ongoing PUF technology work in the FP7 FET (Future Emerging Technology) scheme. Integrated circuits containing the physical part of the silicon PUFs will be used and integrated to build an FPGA based PREMISE prototype. In this way, we achieve concept validation within the short timeframe of this project.
