user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Reduced platform lift enhancing accessibility for disable citizens' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Innovation**

Architectonical barriers at the EU represent a problem to people in general with mobility impairments in their everyday lives. This is a big problem, as currently there are 3.2M wheelchair users and 40M people in Europe that cannot walk without aid. To solve out this matter, platform lifts (able to carry a wheel chair) and stairlifts where created. However, this kind of machines present some problems at the time of its use, from which the most important one is their high consumption of energy, which makes them machines expensive to maintain. This consumption increases in an exponential way when the number of steps is high (>3 floors), being evident in the electricity bill. Other limitations are their big dimensions (not suitable for stairs < 1m), the disturbing noise of their motors, and the low speed (7’ to complete 4 floors!).In 2015, Extrema, a leader in accessibility systems, started developing Slim+, a platform stairlift with the smallest size and the lowest energy consumption of the market (50% less), which will allow to do more steps with the same motor, in narrow places and in a more sustainable and secure (improved electronic system) and silent (<60Db) way. The main innovative components developed include: new breaking system, new material for key components, novel stabilizing system and improved electronic device.A first prototype has been developed and tested at lab level (TRL6), however there are several activities to be done to improve the performance of current prototype to reach the market.Slim+ emerges in response to the demands in terms of energy consumption for platform lifts, with the purpose of widespread accessibility and mobility to all European citizens, especially in urban areas. With Slim+, Extrema will be able to compete in a wider market, enla

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Magneto-ionic devices based on oxygen-ion solid state intercalation' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The digitalization of the world and the rise of the Big-Data era continuously push towards improved computing capabilities able to sustain new and complex functionalities. Traditional computer architectures based on the Von Neumann model present limitations when dealing with rapidly growing technologies such artificial intelligence, since to low access speed between the separated memory and CPU inevitably leads to low processing capabilities and high energy consumptions. A possible solution to overcome these limitations is the development of non-volatile memories (NVMs) as element with both storage and logic capabilities, enabling the computation of tasks directly on the memory unit (in-memory computing). MagnOxy aims at developing a novel solid state battery-like NVM based on the control of magnetic properties of functional oxide thin films through a fast (de)intercalation of oxygen ions. The control of magnetism through the reversible (de)intercalation of ions into a target material, mediated by the application of an electrical bias through an ionic electrolyte (i.e. magneto-ionics, MI) is the most recent approach for controlling magnetism by voltage. MI-based magneto-electric random-access memories (MeRAM) have the potential to deliver robust, fast and energy efficient NVMs for in-memory computing. However, MI control is still at an early stage of the R&D process and many aspects still needs to be improved to deliver a competitive device. In essence, MagnOxy will provide: i) A solid state thin film device based on the electrochemical insertion of oxygen ions at RT ii) A large and analogically tuneable magnetic response of the cell ii) A fast (~100 ms) magnetic switching capabilities through the implementation of nanoionics concept for boosting ionic motion iii) An im

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Accelerating Autonomous Vehicle Development with Photorealistic, Virtual AI Training and Testing Simulation' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Innovation**

Level 5 autonomous vehicles (AVs), i.e. completely self-driving cars, are now the foreseeable future of mobility. There are numerous ongoing developments globally: every significant automaker is pursuing the technology either in-house or in partnerships with specialist companies. This resulted in significant advances in all areas of autonomous driving technologies, bringing them closer to commercial readiness.However, the great challenge is to make sure that these technologies work safely and properly; i.e. testing and validation. Real road testing is not only expensive and time-consuming, but also inefficient, as it is not possible to create situations that characteristically lead to accidents without hazarding other road users. Founded in 2015, AImotive has grown to be one of the largest independent teams in the world working towards fully self-driving car technology. 190 colleagues work with us in our headquarters in Budapest, Hungary and offices in Helsinki, Finland; Mountain View, California and Tokyo, Japan. One of our key developments, aiSim is a simulator for self-driving technologies, created to accelerate the development of aiDrive, our self-driving solution. The ability to recreate real-world situations and create unique scenarios ensures the safe development of autonomous vehicle technology and enables to undertake testing of new developments about two orders of magnitude more cost efficiently and an order of magnitude faster than real road testing. Currently available to our partners as part of aiDrive projects. The proposed Phase 1 project explores the opportunity and requirements of commercialising aiSim as a stand-alone product.

user: Explain how 'Advanced Vortex Technology for Electrified Solvent Regeneration' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The urgent need to reduce global carbon emissions is driving the development of advanced CO2 capture technologies. However, state-of-the-art packed bed-based processes (e.g., EFG+ or Linde-BASF) and rotating packed beds (CarbonClean) face significant challenges, including their high energy consumption, enormous infrastructure requirements, and operational complexities. This relates primarily to the solvent regeneration step, the Achilles' heel of absorption-based carbon capture technologies.Building on our patented vortex technology and advanced computational fluid dynamics platform developed under the ERC OPTIMA project, the AVATAR project aims to overcome these challenges by developing and demonstrating a Multi-Stage Vortex Unit (VORTEX-AVI) with integrated resistive heating for electrified solvent regeneration. This innovative design further develops the use of centrifugal forces within a static geometry to intensify processes, eliminating the mechanical rotation issues found in rotating packed beds while enhancing both scalability and operational flexibility.Preliminary simulations indicate that AVATAR technology can lower energy consumption to 1.7 GJ per ton of CO2, significantly outperforming current standards of 2.5 GJ per ton of CO2. The project will validate these findings through experiments focused on cold flow hydrodynamics, hot and reactive flow testing, and finally, the integration of resistive heating. Expected outcomes include at least a tenfold increase in CO2 release rates per unit volume compared to conventional desorbers, huge reductions in operational and capital costs, and improved feasibility for future high- Technology Readiness Level (TRL) applications. This potential for high-TRL applications is a testament to the transformative nature of the A

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Mechanisms of Neurogenesis from Drosophila to Human' (2007-2013) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Neurogenesis in the mammalian neocortex depends upon asymmetric cell divisions to maintain a balance between self-renewal and neuronal differentiation. This process is likely a key element governing the expansion of the human cerebral cortex, and its disruption can lead to severe developmental disorders such as microcephaly and lissencephaly. However, mechanisms of asymmetric cell division in mammalian brain development are largely unclear, and its potential role in human cortical development has not been examined. Substantial headway has been made in understanding mechanisms of asymmetric cell division in the Drosophila central nervous system. Our lab has recently published a genome-wide RNAi screen, which has identified several novel regulators of asymmetric cell division in Drosophila. To test whether these newly identified factors have conserved roles in mammals, I will use mouse neural rosettes to screen and perform functional assessments of the promising candidates. I will then perform functional studies of human neural rosettes to test our candidates, as well as previously identified regulators of asymmetric cell division. In this way, I will utilize the neural rosettes system to screen for new regulators of self-renewal and differentiation and examine the role of asymmetric cell division in human cortical development.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Smart Mechatronic Ankle-Foot Orthosis Platform for Gait Assistance and Augmentation'.

assistant: **Concept**

Mechatronic ankle foot orthoses have recently attracted significant attention as a means for assisting or augmenting gait functions of impaired and healthy individuals. However, this technology has seldom translated into products that are available to clinicians and the general public. To solve this issue, we aim at training six high-skilled professionals who can design and develop solutions that satisfy the needs of all stakeholders and can translate into products. SmartANKLE will establish a comprehensive training program that will provide the six Doctoral Candidates (DCs) with all the skills required to bring the mechatronic ankle foot orthosis concept into the market. The SmartANKLE group brings together four internationally recognized universities, one hospital and three companies. The SmartANKLE DCs will be trained in all the aspects of the development of a radically new Smart Mechatronic Ankle Foot Orthoses (SMAFO) platform. The components of this platform will be used to assemble different SMAFO configurations able to provide positive torque during gait and that can be utilized in different applications, spanning from gait assistance of stroke survivor, training of sport practitioners and human augmentation. The training will cover all phases of product development: from conceptualization, to design, to translation and testing. The DCs will learn to identify the needs of the different users and to investigate the requirements of all stakeholders. The DCs will formulate a tailored career development plan which includes the acquisition of engineering, research, and management skills, in a training that will foster teamwork, open science practices and gender aspects. The DCs will undergo outreach activities aiming at disseminating SmartAnkle’s impact to a wide arra

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Design of improved and competitive products using an integrated decision support system for ship production and operation' (IMPROVE) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The main objective of the IMPROVE project is to develop three new ship generations in an integrated multiple criteria decision making environment by using the advanced design synthesis and analysis techniques at the earliest stage of the design process, which innovatively considers structure, production, operational aspects, performance, and safety criteria on a concurrent basis. The product types focused on this project are new generations of LNG gas carriers and chemical tankers, and an innovative concept of a large Ro-Pax vessel. The specific objectives of the project are to: a) develop improved generic ship designs based upon multiple criteria mathematical models, b) improve and apply rational models for estimation of the design characteristics (capacity, production costs, maintenance costs, availability, safety, reliability and robustness of ship structure) in the early design phase, c) use and reformulate basic models of multiple criteria ship design, and include them into an integrated decision support system for ship production and operation. The objectives will be achieved by identification of new product concepts and stakeholders' requirements, establishing problem and model definition for design synthesis and analysis (WP2), identification of structural load and response calculation modules (WP3), assessment of production and operational aspects (WP4), integration of identified models from above-mentioned WPs (WP5), application of integrated IMPROVE platform for the design of three new product generations (WP 6-8), and exploitation and dissemination activities of the project results, and coordination of them within (WP9).

user: Describe how 'Ultrafast Structural Dynamics of Elementary Water-Mediated Proton Transport Processes' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

How acids and bases react in water is a question raised since the pioneering days of modern chemistry. Recent decades have witnessed an increased effort in elucidating the microscopic mechanisms of proton exchange between acids and bases and the important mediating role of water in this. With ultrafast spectroscopy it has been shown that the elementary steps in aqueous proton transfer occur on femtosecond to picosecond time scales. Aqueous acid-base neutralization predominantly proceeds in a sequential way via water bridging acid and base molecules. These ultrafast experiments probing molecular transitions in the ultraviolet, visible and mid-infrared spectral ranges, though, only provide limited insight into the electronic structure of acids, bases and the water molecules accommodating the transfer of protons in the condensed phase. Soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), probing transitions from inner-shell levels to unoccupied molecular orbitals, is a tool to monitor electronic structure with chemical element specificity. The aim is now to develop steady-state and time-resolved soft-x-ray spectroscopy of acids and bases in water-poor and water-rich solutions. Here novel liquid flatjet technology is utilized with soft-x-ray sources at synchrotrons as well as table-top laser-based high-order harmonic systems, to elucidate the electronic structural evolution of proton transfer pathways. Questions to be solved are electronic structural changes upon hydrogen bond formation, the nature of hydrated proton species, and the impact of conversion from acid to conjugate base (or base to conjugate acid) in aromatic alcohols, carboxylic and amine compounds, and ultimately the oxygen oxidation state in hydrated protons.
