The Mobile Internet offers a new age of anytime, anywhere information access to a potential user-base of approximately 4 billion people. Recently, new life has been breathed into the Mobile Internet as a result of a combination of significant device, content, infrastructure and billing improvements. As such an increasing number of users are venturing online via their mobile phones in search of interesting content. In fact, mobile devices are already becoming the primary mode of Internet access for a large fraction of the world’s population. However, the Mobile Internet represents a challenging information access environment due to the inherent limitations of the mobile space, limitations that go beyond simple screen size or network issues. Mobile users have information needs that are impacted by contexts such as location, time and activity. Furthermore, human beings are social creatures that often seek out new strategies for sharing knowledge and information in mobile settings. Mobile information access presents its own challenges and opportunities that go beyond those of traditional desktop-based information access. The goal of this proposal is twofold: (1) to understand mobile users and their information needs, (2) to investigate future mobile information access services. A key component in the design of effective mobile services is to understand mobile users and their needs. As mobile technology advances, we can come to expect new behaviours to emerge. This is especially true as diverse user groups adopt mobile technology and as experienced mobile users adapt to new paradigms in mobile interaction. This proposal will explore novel forms of mobile information access which move beyond traditional query-based search and towards discovery of content. Our goal is to build rich, context-aware interfaces that proactively display relevant information to the user without the need for sophisticated interactions leading to improved search and information discovery.

Innovative approaches based on alloying of metals to remove mercury from drinking water will be developed. Gold and silver nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of silsesqioxane-hydride films deposited on silica-gel surfaces will be used as a novel adsorbent for trace mercury removal. Use of silsesquioxane-hydride as an additive for producing cryogels allows for creation of novel clean up devices for trace mercury removal from various environmental media. Incorporation of iron oxide nanoparticles in pores of silica-gel increase the specificity of the sorbent to arsenic removal.

Ferroelectric materials are considered for applications in telecom devices opera ting at high frequency such as phase shifters, antennas or resonators. With the increasing requirements for miniaturization and low cost electronics, the market is nowadays widely turned to agile components and there is in particular a strong competition for the search of new materials. The best candidates for such applications are ferroelectric (FE) materials. Their distinctive advantage among all other materials is that their dielectric permittivity may be tuned under the application of moderate electric field. Of particular interest for this project are nanosize materials based on the barium titanate: composites, thin films and multilayers. In all these materials charge defects are playing very important role and EPR as the most sensitive method for paramagnetic defects and their local environment will be used to detect such defects and their position in: i) core or shell; ii) film or substrate; iii) interfaces; iv) surfaces. The main aim of this project is to use long time close cooperation of physicists and materials scientists to develop new methodology in materials design based on EPR application for the new materials creation with properties of demand.

There is increasing need for aircraft health monitoring to plan maintenance and reduce operational costs, however to date SHM has not been widely embraced. The load history of structural components is, in many cases, one of the most valuable pieces of health monitoring information and this can be obtained from a reliable strain measurement system. Electrical strain gauges and optical strain sensors each have their merits and limitations for providing a strain measurement and a combination of both is likely to be required. The first part of the project identifies applications for SHM strain sensors in aircraft and outlines sensor performance requirements for each application. Next, a gap analysis between the required specification and the current state of the art identifies system aspects that require adaptation. Existing thermal compensation methods will be improved to enhance measurement accuracy. Algorythms will be developed for turning raw data into useful health data and sensors will be delivered for verification testing. The proposed scope of work builds on the leading position of Insensys as a supplier of optical strain sensors to the aerospace industry. Insensys has developed products specifically for the aerospace industry and is engaged with both major commercial fixed wing OEMs and all 5 major helicopter manufacturers. Today Insensys equipment is regularly flown on both fixed wing and rotary aircraft. Testing of the Insensys sensors to DO160E has already begun and a preliminary analysis has been performed to determine requirements for compliance with DO254 and DO178B standards. With a leading position in optical fibre strain monitoring, a leading position in the aerospace industry and a route to take the technology to market, Insensys is best placed to undertake the proposed scope of work and deliver real commercial benefit to aircraft OEMs in the shortest timeframe.

It is the aim of this research project to carry out systematic studies of spin-dependent transport in heavy rare earth (RE) metals based multilayered nanostructures. These nanoscale heterostructures made of layered rare earth metals would combine in variety of ways species bearing different magnetic character, such as ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order, as well as magnetic layers with non magnetic spacers. There exists a substantial gap in the literature regarding magnetoresistance (MR) studies on rare earth nanostructures, which would be of general interest for basic knowledge to fill in. This way, of particular interest will be to perform MR experiments for current perpendicular to plane configuration in vertically nanostructured RE-based systems, where the magnetic RE slabs show helical antiferromagnetic (AFM) order. For these structures, there exist recent investigations that clearly point to the breaking of the chiral symmetry at the interfaces. This chiral asymmetry in helical AFM is likely to lead to much striking effects in the magneto-transport phenomenology of such so far unexplored nanostructures that we now coin as the so-called anisotropic chiral magnetoresistance in analogy to the already proposed electrical magnetochiral anisotropy in chiral conductors. A second topic that will very much focus our attention is the study of magneto transport in multilayered nanostructures of rare earth metals that would combine ferromagnetic, helical AFM and non-magnetic layers. These studies will look to test recent theoretical predictions that forecast a significant enhancement for the overall performance of such nanostructures, which includes nanostructured slabs with helical magnetic order that bear a spin spiral density wave, for current-driven spin-torque transfer effect devices with nanotechnology applications in the field of microwave oscillator systems for high-frequency communication technology.

The aim of this work is the complete characterisation of innovative prepreg systems based on carbon fibres and nanoparticle modified resins. After the test specimen production well known and long time approved mechanical test methods related the aircraft industry, as well as thermo-mechanical and chemical analyses will be used for the characterisation. Regarding the fibre-matrix adhesion a novel test method will be developed which is based on a tensile test for single fibres. Considering the long time experience in harmonising test methods for fibres and the experience of testing single natural, synthetic and high performance fibres a pull out test with a so called Dia-Stron equipment will be feasible resulting in a very simple and standarised test method to determine the fibre matrix adhesion.

ALONOCO will investigate the aerodynamic wing efficiency and the emitted noise from four different low-noise high-lift concepts of a regional aircraft. The concepts will be compared to a baseline configuration and ranked for down-selection. The analysis will be based on numerical simulations with high fidelity tools. The aerodynamic calculations will be based on steady and unsteady RANS, hybrid RANS/LES calculations at specified conditions up to maximum lift with the CFD solver Edge. Aerodynamic data will be supplied to the aero-acoustic analysis for which two different approaches will be used and compared. The proposed technical work is divided in three work packages over one year. The aerodynamic assessment will be carried out in WP1, the aero-acoustic analysis in WP2 and the overall synthesis in WP3. The maximum total budget is estimated to 300,000 Euro. The consortium consists of two Swedish partners, the research organisation FOI being the coordinator, and one university, Chalmers. Both partners are highly capable, well known and very active in national and European collaborative programs related to aerodynamic and aero-acoustic simulations.

The basic problem of damage detection is to deduce the existence of a defect in a structure from measurements taken at sensors distributed on the structure. Especially in aeronautical structures, cracks, delaminations and debondings are typical types of damages often encountered. The problem is essentially one of pattern recognition. Artificial neural networks show considerable promise for damage diagnosis. In the most basic, supervised learning, approach to deriving a neural network, the network is presented with pairs of data vectors, the input being the vector of measurements from the system and the output being the desired damage classification. At each presentation of the data, the internal structure of the network is modified, in order to bring the actual network outputs into correspondence with the desired outputs. This iterative procedure is terminated when the network outputs have the required properties over the whole training set. In a structural application, the training data may be provided by finite element (FE) analysis. This has the advantage of allowing a large range of boundary conditions and static/dynamic load cases to be analysed. FE analysis may be a little unrealistic as there is no limit on the spatial resolution of the data which is obtained, e.g. strains. In reality, the number of sensors available will be limited and this will, of course, place restrictions on the resolution of data. As a result, it is necessary in practice to optimise the number and location of sensors for a given problem. The main objective of the current proposal is to develop a mathematical algorithm for optimal strain sensor (strain gauges, fiber Bragg grating or other) placement in aeronautical composite structures for maximum damage detectability. The mathematical method to be used will be a genetic algorithm based on neural networks. The genetic algorithm will be trained from finite element analyses simulating impact scenarios (damage initiation) and operational

The subject of this call for proposal is support for the developmeent of a number of small scale Feature Demonstrators that will enable down selection of concepts towards a final Integrated Ground Based Demonstrator of the LE region of a Natural Flow Wing. GKN Aerospace, the world&amp;apos;s No.1 independent supplier of composite aircraft structures, would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Airbus, Saab and Aernova in the development of the next generation of wing technologies through the Smart Fixed Wing Programme. The GKN Aerospace Composite Research Centre, a state-of the-art research facility located on the Isle of Wight in the UK, and memeber of the National Composites Network of the UK, would like to Co-ordinate this bid, managing the structural aspect of the programme and work with partner company, GKN Aerospace Luton, who would manage the WIPS aspect of the programme. GKN would conduct a trade study that investigates several LOF and ALOF joint concepts for composite LE panels as well as WIPS for metal or CFRP LE components. Following the trade study, a review and downselect of concepts to be manufactured as small scale feature demonstrators would happen in conjuction with outputs from the Airbus Preliminary Design Review of the Short Range Aircraft concept. An assembled test rig will be constructed and the small scale demonstrators would be subject to testing and evaluation. A final report identifying the test outputs against the target requirements will be delivered at the conclusion of this programme. After the successful conclusion of this bid, GKN Aerospace would like to continue to R&amp;amp;T in this area as the Natural Laminar Flow Wing is recognized as a potential key technology for the next generation of aircrafts. The UK National Aerospace Technology Strategy (NATS) has also identified the Laminar Flow Wing Box Validation Programme therefore giving further opportunities for collaboration in the future.

This proposal is concerned with the development of distributed high temperature electronics platform for integration with sensor elements to provide a high integrity serial digital data link that can be fed into FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electronic Control) and/or EHMS (Engine Health Monitoring System) units on an aircraft engine. To date most of the work undertaken and reported has been in the United States, which has concentrated on the development of high temperature electronic control systems, with high levels of functionality and more complex components, such as the Honeywell HTMOS products. This proposal aims to design and develop a lower cost distributed electronics platform with fir for purpose functionality that can be deployed close to the sensors and integrated into a miniature multi-chip module. The unit will be designed to provide signal conditioning for a range of sensor outputs and managing the signal to enable high integrity digital signal tranmission to the FADEC/EHMS units. The target long temperature of operation is 250oC for up to 5 years.

FBG sensors have gained increasing importance for structural health monitoring in aeronautics, enabling large-scale measurement of most relevant structural parameters while mitigating technical constrains of conventional sensors. FBG technology application for real-time structural monitoring during flight is currently limited by the lack of flight qualified interrogation equipment. A first goal of the present proposal is the update of currently existing instrumentation to suit the environmental and operational requiems of in-flight applications, increasing instrumentation reliability, and measurement repeatability and precision. An additional issue that should be solved if this technology is to be employed for in-flight monitoring applications is the issue of equipment interfacing with the on board avionics. A second objective of the work will be the analysis of the possible integration of avionic standards within the FBG interrogation equipment, which will allow for direct interfacing with the on board avionics. Finally, the suitability of quasi-distributed FBG sensor arrays for whole area damage detection will be assessed by the implementation and testing of a demonstrator with more than 100 sensors on an composite structure. Results will be compared with other measuring techniques as thermography and ultrasounds. These objectives will be addressed by relying on the team’s strong heritage on Fiber Optic Sensing Technology and on aeronautic applications and testing. FiberSensing’s commercial product portfolio of FBG sensors and interrogation units will be the starting point towards in-flight qualification of equipment and to specific FBG array sensor design for composite embedment. INEGI and NDTE’s long experience in testing will provide the necessary knowledge in terms of the test design and completion and on the specific requirements associated to in-flight operation.
