Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is the most widespread tool to separate and detect macromolecules based on their molecular weight. New generation PAGE assays miniaturize the technique to obtain high throughput performance and reduce sample volume, reagents and cost. Here, we present a novel technology that will improve the range, the resolution and the accuracy that these new generation PAGE assays can resolve. On traditional PAGE assays, polyacrylamide gels with an acrylamide gradient are used to significantly improve the separation of macromolecules. However, on new generation PAGE assays the technology to fabricate those gradients at the millimetre scale with micron resolution is missing. The technology presented in this project, developed as a part of the ERC project GenesForceMotion, allows the fabrication of millimetre sized polyacrylamide gels with a well-defined and precise acrylamide microgradient. Moreover, the acrylamide density profile can be precisely controlled along the gel to improve the separation of macromolecules with similar molecular weights. This technology generates a market opportunity to improve the performance of the gel electrophoresis technique widely extended in worldwide life science laboratories. The expected outcome of the project is to test the benefits of our microgradient gel technology to improve the new generation miniaturized PAGE assays and make this technology available to the market

This project is intended to lead to the identification, design and development of a novel, economically viable pre-industrial process, to make the world's toughest synthetic fibres. Our new concept to obtain fibers with unconventional toughness is indeed very simple and robust: the introduction in high-strength fibers of a smart frictional element, in the form of a large slip loop in a slider, that in its simplest configuration is a knot. A preliminary proof of concept implementation has already been performed, realizing the highest toughness value for a fiber to date, using commercial Zylon® and reaching 1400 J/g, surpassing for the first time 1000 J/g. This knot-based manufacturing strategy is already a milestone of the ERC Starting Grant "Bio-inspired Hierarchical Super Nanomaterials" (BIHSNAM), and it has proven to be an extremely simple yet efficient way for the production of ultra-tough materials. Instead of pursuing the synthesis of new materials, we fully exploit the potential of already existing ones, with an evident improvement in the potential quality of current industrial production, exploiting a relatively uncomplicated and economical, and therefore industrially attractive method. The aim of KNOTOUGH is therefore to optimize (identifying the proper slider element, e.g. knot topology, for maximizing toughness), consolidate and develop this manufacturing procedure, taking it to a pre-commercial stage, with potential applications in all those industrial manufacturing sectors where energy absorption is important (e.g., sporting goods, automotive, aerospace, protective devices).

The PyModSimA project develops new open-source vendor-independent collaborative system design and modeling & simulation tools. This will enable more efficient development processes involving aircraft, engine, and equipment manufacturers, e.g. for application in Green Operations ITD of Clean Sky in more electric aircraft systems technologies. At the current state-of-the-art it is often the case that each application area uses different design and modeling tools, which cannot easily communicate and connect to each other for total system design and validation. The work in this project aims at significantly improving the capabilities by enhancing the open source PySimulator software for vendor-independent collaborative system design, modeling, and simulation work. The central idea of PySimulator is to provide a generic framework to perform simulations with different simulation engines in a convenient way, to organize the persistent storage of small and huge result data sets, to provide plotting and other post-processing feature such as signal processing or linear system analysis, and to export simulation and analysis results to other environments such as Matlab. The main results of the project are expected to be the following: • Support for an additional simulation plugin in PySimulator as well as improving the existing PySimulator framework and OpenModelica plugin. • New capabilities in PySimulator to perform unit and regression testing over models from multiple tools and different vendors. • New capabilities in PySimulator for simulating connected FMUs (i.e., compiled and exported models) from several tools. This is needed in total system model simulation. The results will be disseminated and exploited for example by CleanSky partners, DLR partners, and organizations in the Open Source Modelica Consortium.

The SAGE2 project was conceived with the goal of developing a novel counter-rotating open-rotor demonstrator. Implicit in its design is a system capable of deicing the rotors. The most effective method of deicing is one which uses electrical resistance to heat the rotor blades; however, in order to deploy such a deicing technique, it is imperative that the electrical systems supplying power are capable of withstanding the associated harsh environmental conditions. The ADONIS project will advance the SAGE2 project by evaluating the various insulating materials under consideration for use. It will expose the materials to aging conditions consistent with their use: both immersion and spray will be studied in order to elucidate the effects each type of environment has, and how it affects the long term aging behavior of the material. RESCOLL is a specialist in nonmetallic materials testing, and will use its expertise in the characterization and aging of the candidate materials to provide the SAGE2 project with the best possible material. The ADONIS project will be undertaken in six steps. The first will be concerned with the day to day management of the project. The second will undertake an exhaustive study of the existing literature on the subject of insulating materials and their interface behavior in terms of electrical properties. This study will also establish clear methods for the assessment of the materials behavior, ensuring that the results of this project represent the most recent and informative data possible on the subject. The third step will establish a clear planning methodology and timeline for the testing of the materials. The materials themselves will be tested in steps four and five. The results of these aging tests will be used to develop a set of recommendations in step six as to the best materials to be used in the SAGE2 system.

In traditional 3D variation simulation (stack-up’s) it is common to consider that the parts are rigid. However, often in production forces are applied manually or by different fixturing solutions to assure that requirements on offset are fulfilled before welding parts together in an assembly. This causes the parts to bend and rigid analysis is therefore not valid. Depending on assembly sequences and geometry variation of incoming material, different fixturing forces need to be applied from component to component to assure the right fit in the seam before welding. It may even be necessary to use active fixturing where the forces are varying during the welding process. The welding process itself also contributes with variation that needs to be considered in order to fulfil geometrical requirements. This project proposes a novel way to combine variation and welding simulation to support the design of future welding fixtures for aircraft engine components. Non-rigid Geometrical Variation Simulation will be further developed to optimize locator and support positions in order to minimize geometrical variation in the weld gap and also take fixturing forces into consideration. Computational Welding Mechanics simulations with integrated control functions will be further developed to prescribe fixturing forces for maintaining specific tolerances ahead of the weld for a stable weld process. The simulation areas will be combined and integrated to support the design of a physical welding fixture suitable for fabrication of aircraft engine components. The results will be demonstrated virtually and physically.

WITTINESS adresses the acoustic measurement campaign of previously (in a different CfP) designed WT-model, equipped with engine-demonstrators. In order to tackle this project a consortium including a company experienced in design, structural mechanics and aerodynamics, a SME, a manufacturer and a university with a strong focus on acoustic measurements propose an approach to use the previously designed model, introduce necessary design changes, perform the necessary tests and postprocess the results in terms of acoustic behaviour. The consortium is build up as follows: - IBK is a small company coordinating the project and performing design work in the project. IBK is also leading the consortium building the WT in the previous project ESICAPIA. - REVOIND is a small italian company specialised in manufacturing complex parts. Revoind´s main task in this project is to manufacture the model. - University of Rome, Prof. Camussi, bringt acoustic knowledge into the consortium, which is needed for preparing the acoustic tests and post-processing of the acoustic tests. The project consists of three technical work-packages plus one management work-package. The three technical WPs tackle planning and realisation of possible design-changes, dynamic characterization and experimental tests (including post-processing). A cruicial point for the quality of the results is the choice of the wind-tunnel. Possible wind-tunnels in europe have been reviewed by the consortium and the two possible solutions for this model (DNW and RUAG) have been asked for quotes. Although the previous model is build for an aerodynamical measurement campaign in one of these tunnels in general a test in either of them is feasible. There are pros and cons for each solution, finalising the choise of the wind-tunnel is therefore the first point to tackle in the project.

PRIMES has been created as a legal and independant entity, inheriting the successful experience of PEARL Laboratory. This has allowed to give to the structure a wide and strong international visibility as one of the best European technological platform specialized in power integration. PRIMES puts a huge effort in developing virtual model solutions for power electronics components and systems, combined to a prototyping and characterization platform to be able to design, simulate, manufacture and characterize new power module technological demonstrators at the same place. PRIMES bondwire-less technology with double-sided semiconductor cooling has been demonstrated for high power devices. Such technology is centered on the use of bumps for connecting the surface side of vertical power components and enables a significant improvement in power density as compared with standard IGBT modules. Chips interconnection is ensured by flat substrates both on the bottom and on the top side; additional bumps are inserted on the sides of the structure to enhance mechanical stiffness and reduce stress at device level; after proper insulation, the structure is apt for double-sided cooling, with improved performance of the semiconductor devices. The results of the project will be produced under license by the aPSI3D start-up, created in order to have a European manufacturer abble to produce specific integrated power modules. The results will be protected by patents or spreadly disseminated through international conferencies and publications.

The aim of this project is to find and demonstrate an optimal system for minimizing the transmission of vibrations generated in the Counter Rotating Open Rotor to the fuselage. For this purpose all kinds of conventional –passive, dynamic, active and semiactive- solutions for reduction of vibrations will be considered for optimization. The hard constraints of space, temperature and low frecuency could spoil most of the well-known conventional approaches. However, in order to overcome these difficulties and to increase the efficiency of these “well-known” solutions the use of a new technology of Impedance coupling will be also explored. This exclusive and new technology has become available as a result of the FP7-Space MAGDRIVE project and provides a non-contact, reliable mechanism able to multiply the efficacy of any conventional element (passive dampers, tuned vibration absorbers, active actuators or semiactive devices) reducing the overall required mass and volume of the devices. It can also integrate any of the above cited other conventional elements in a compact built-in design. Thanks to the non-contact characteristic and using appropriate common materials, the Z-Damper is expected to work at a temperature up to 700ºC providing a protective “heat barrier” for the conventional element in addition to the “multiplier effect” on the efficacy. MAG SOAR is a Small Technology-based Company incorporated as a spin-off of the above mentioned FP7-Space project MAGDRIVE. Its engineers have a recognised long expertise in Noise&vibrations projects –using all the existing known technologies, modelling, testing and instrumentation-. Additionally, MAG SOAR currently counts with aeronautical customers –i.e. Airbus Military- and is familiar with their procedures and standards. This, together with the simplicity of the consortium and the proved expertise in coordinating FP7 projects –including Clean Sky- makes MAG SOAR the perfect choice for this topic.
