user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'New generation of aeronautical bearings for extreme environmental constraints' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Bleed systems decrease pressure and temperature to levels acceptable for downstream pipes and air cooling system. Bleed valves, regulating the pressure, have a strong safety issue: their failures can lead to aircraft depressurisation with the immediate request to land to the closest airport. In addition to all direct consequences on passengers/crews comfort, flight delay and traffic management, failures have a strong economic impact on airliners: a diversion is estimated to 150 000. In 2004, 10 diversions, consecutive to valves failure, have been reported for the AIRBUS fleet. Valve failures, resulting of ball bearings blockage, are due to fretting and false Brinelling, known to occur in quasi-static assemblies in vibratory environment.Due to the power in crease of new aircraft engines and the extended service life of existing aircraft, vibration levels around engines are becoming extremely strong (about 25g). Temperatures can also reach up to 550°C. Systems surrounding engine zones are therefore submitted to new and extreme environmental constraints. Even if the tendency is to develop more electrical aircraft, most of the aircraft developed today, based on bleed systems, will still be in use in the next 20 years and their issues have to be solved. Today, bearings design and materials have reached their limit.In order to propose innovative solutions answering the new requirements, BEARINGS need to:i) better understand the degradations encountered, using recent advances in contact modellingii) propose innovative materials (bulk, smart sintered, nano materials) and adapted processes,iii) propose relevant bearings designs.In the competition with United States (and Japan for bearings suppliers), BEARING is a unique opportunity to maintain European Air Systems and Bearings s

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Sustainable Smart De-Icing by Surface Engineering of Acoustic Waves' (SOUNDofICE) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Icing on surfaces is commonplace in nature and industry and too often causes catastrophic events. SOUNDofICE ultimate goal is to overcome costly and environmentally harmful de-icing methods with a pioneering strategy based on the surface engineering of MHz Acoustic Waves for a smart and sustainable removal of ice. This technology encompasses the autonomous detection and low-energy-consuming removal of accreted ice on any material and geometry. For the first time, both detection and de-icing will share the same operating principle. The visionary research program covers modeling of surface wave atom excitation of ice aggregates, integration of acoustic transducers on large areas and the development of surface engineering solutions to stack micron-size interdigitated electrodes together with different layers providing efficient wave propagation, anti-icing capacity, and aging resistance. We will demonstrate that this de-icing strategy surpasses existing methods in performance, multifunctionality and capacity of integration on industrially relevant substrates as validated with proof of concept devices suited for the aeronautic and wind power industries. SOUNDofICE high-risks will be confronted by a strongly interdisciplinary team from five academic centers covering both the fundamental and applied aspects. Two SMEs with first-hand experience in icing will be in charge of testing this technology and its future transfer to key EU players in aeronautics, renewable energy, and household appliances. An Advisory Board incorporating relevant companies will contribute to an effective dissemination and benchmarking. Flexibility of the R&D plan, multidisciplinarity and assistance of the AdB guarantee the success of this proposal, bringing up a unique opportunity for young academia le

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Worldwide unique biofeedback system for non-invasive vertigo therapy and fall prevention' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Vertigo (dizziness) is the second most common symptom in medicine, causing 30% of all people worldwide to be treated at least once in their lifetime. It is caused by a disturbance of the balance organ in our inner ear and has a significant impact on our everyday life, making many activities very hard or even impossible. However, through effective balance training, the human brain is capable to compensate for the wrong sensory information and can ultimately overcome vertigo.Unfortunately, current treatment options show severe shortcomings regarding costs, availability, and effectiveness of training. To overcome this problem, GED has developed EQUIVert. EQUIVert is the personal balance trainer for the home and professional use. It is a headphone with integrated position sensor and gesture control. It provides real-time acoustic biofeedback through sound to give the user conscious access to the otherwise unconscious combination of balance and depth sensitivity.EQUIVert is a complete system and ready to use. All exercises and training programmes are already preinstalled in the audio guide and it dynamically adapts the exercises to training progress and individual form. The major benefits for the users are the low purchase price, the effectiveness of the training, the ease of use, and the possibility to train anytime and anywhere.With over 100 million potential patients in Europe and the US, of which most are not or not properly treated right now, EQUIVert has a huge market creating potential. GED is planning a parallel market introduction, addressing private patients with an individual training device and healthcare physicians with a diagnosis support device. Following the already ongoing registration as medical device, EQUIVert will initially be introduced into the Central

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'From new Objects to new woRds through GEstures: how sensory-motor experiences of objects and tools influence word acquisition in children' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

A key question in language studies is how children learn the meaning of new words and corresponding concepts. Developmental studies show that children’s actions promote learning about new objects and that acting on objects is closely related to early gestures’ production, which in turn accompanies vocabulary acquisition. Brain imaging studies have found activation of motor areas when people process action-related words. Together, these findings suggest a link between sensory-motor experiences, gestures and vocabulary acquisition. But how are these related? One hypothesis is that children’s manipulation of objects promotes their learning of concepts, these concepts then drive the use of iconic gestures rooted in actions with objects, as well as word learning. An alternative hypothesis is that iconic gestures scaffold vocabulary learning because gestures maintain important iconic similarity with the corresponding affordances and actions, while having communicative functions like words: thus emergence of gestures would be precursor to word learning. To-date, correlational data seems to support the first hypothesis, but existing data does not allow to clearly establish the direction of effects. The FORGE project aims to test between these hypotheses, to understand how learning new concepts (mental representations for new manipulatable objects), learning to gesture about these new tools and learning their labels are related to one another. The project uses a multi-disciplinary approach, bringing together traditional video-coding techniques from developmental psychology and psycholinguistics, and new bio-engineering sensor technology for movement analysis. As pre-school children learn new words on a daily basis, and because vocabulary is a strong predictor of academic achieve

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Robots in assisted living environments: Unobtrusive, efficient, reliable and modular solutions for independent ageing' (RADIO).

assistant: **Concept**

Demographic and epidemiologic transitions have brought a new health care paradigm with the presence of both, growing elderly population and chronic diseases. Life expectancy is increasing as well as the need for long-term care.  Institutional care for the aged population faces economical struggles with low staffing ratios and consequent quality problems. Although the aforementioned implications of ageing impose societal challenges, at the same time new opportunities arise for the European citizens, the healthcare systems as well as the industry and the European market. Two of the most important aspects of assistive environments and independent living are user acceptance and unobtrusiveness. Mostly explored in a smart home setup and the unobtrusive installation of audio-visual monitoring equipment, the consensus is that users accept monitoring if they are not constantly aware of its presence. A more recent trend is home assistant robots. These two lines of development have for the most part ran without heavily interacting with each other and, even more so, without developing integrated solutions that combine smart home automation with robotics. In RADIO, we will develop an integrated smart home/assistant robot system, with the objective of pursuing a novel approach to acceptance and unobtrusiveness: a system where sensing equipment is not discrete but an obvious and accepted part of the user’s daily life.By using the integrated smart home/assistant robot system as the sensing equipment for health monitoring, we mask the functionality of the sensors rather than the sensors themselves. In this manner, sensors do not need to be discrete and distant or masked and cumbersome to install; they do however need to be perceived as a natural component of the smart home/assistant ro

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Nonlinearity-assisted Optical Focusing and Imaging Deep Inside Scattering Media' (NOLIMIT) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Focusing light to the (sub)micron scale is the enabling element in many important biomedical and industrial applications, such as optical microscopy and laser nano-surgery. However, the inherent inhomogeneity of biological tissues induces light scattering which limits effective focusing to shallow depths of a few hundred microns. As a result, optical microscopy, perhaps the most important tool in biological discovery and medical investigation, is currently restricted to superficial investigation. Nevertheless, recent results have shown that the effects of such “random” scattering can be undone, controlled, and even exploited by high-resolution wavefront shaping. The goal of this project is to use these novel insights to break the resolution limit of deep-tissue optical techniques, and enable controlled sub-micron focusing and microscopic imaging deep in scattering media. This ambitious goal will be achieved by combining the powerful techniques of the emerging field of “wavefront shaping” where leading contributions have been made by the applicant and the host, with the penetration depth allowed by photoacoustics, field in which the host has a world-leading expertise. We will be able to go beyond the acoustic wavelength resolution limit of photoacoustics by exploiting nonlinear photoacoustic effects as the control signal for adaptive light focusing, an original insight discovered by the joint work of the applicant and the host in the last few months. Achieving the project’s goal would be both a scientific and technological breakthrough as well as a having a huge potential impact on societal issues, with the hope of substituting invasive biopsy procedures and allowing imaging through complex samples in industry.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Dopaminergic modulation of neuronal circuit function in the zebrafish olfactory system' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Innovation**

Neuromodulatory neurons project to a wide range of target areas and adjust neuronal circuit function by modifying neuronal properties, synaptic transmission, and neuronal plasticity. Neuromodulators such as dopamine are implicated in various neurological disorders such as Schizophrenia and addiction. Despite detailed insights into the molecular and cellular actions of neuromodulators, their concerted effects on circuit function are poorly understood, mainly because they have complex combinations of effects on individual circuit components, and because computational functions of cortical circuits are largely unresolved. An important neuromodulator involved in many neural disorders is dopamine (DA). To uncover fundamental principles and mechanisms by which DA modulates cortical computations, we will first analyze effects of DA on odor processing and memory storage in the zebrafish homolog of olfactory cortex (telencephalic area Dp). Using optogenetic manipulations in combination with patch clamp recordings and 2-photon calcium imaging we will determine the functional connectivity and plasticity effects of DA input from specific clusters of DA neurons on circuit function in Dp. These experiments will reveal the influence of DA input on the processing and storage of odor information. Moreover, they are likely to provide insights into the cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying memory storage by auto-associative neuronal networks. To causally link the modulatory effects of DA with behavioral effects, we will manipulate DA input during olfactory learning and memory recall by opto- and pharmacogenetic approaches. The results are expected to be of fundamental relevance for understanding neuromodulatory systems and to have direct implications for treatments of neurological d

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Feasibility, logic and randomness in computational complexity""' (FEALORA) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

We will study fundamental problems in complexity theory using means developed in logic, specifically, in the filed of proof complexity. Since these problems seem extremely difficult and little progress has been achieved in solving them, we will prove results that will explain why they are so difficult and in which direction theory should be developed.Our aim is to develop a system of conjectures based on the concepts of feasible incompleteness and pseudorandomness. Feasible incompleteness refers to conjectures about unprovability of statements concerning low complexity computations and about lengths of proofs of finite consistency statements. Essentially, they say that incompleteness in the finite domain behaves in a similar way as in the infinite. Several conjectures of this kind have been already stated. They have strong consequences concerning separation of complexity classes, but only a few special cases have been proved. We want to develop a unified system which will also include conjectures connecting feasible incompleteness with pseudorandomness. A major part of our work will concern proving special cases and relativized versions of these conjectures in order to provide evidence for their truth. We believe that the essence of the fundamental problems in complexity theory is logical, and thus developing theory in the way described above will eventually lead to their solution.""

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Controlled carbon nanotubes assembly for nanoelectronics' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) form the basis of most current nanotechnology research due to their unique and extreme properties including ballistic electron transport at room temperature, structure-dependent metallic/semiconductor behaviour, electromechanical properties and extremely high Young mudulus. Several important achievements have been realised in nanotubes electronics. However, a major hindrance for the emergence of real applications is the lack of control in fabricating these nanoscale devices. This project will develop new rational design methods for CNTs based electronic nanodevices.Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) will be employed to grow CNTs at the desired location by placing the catalyst dots where required by focused ion beam and e-beam lithograp hy. We will combine Ni and Co colloids chemistry and e-beam lithography to obtain small catalyst dots suitable for the growth of single wall CNTs. The recently discovered mechanism of sequential catalytic growth will be used to control the direct insertion of CNTs with spin-polarised particles during their growth. Plasma enhanced CVD will be employed for growing CNTs on thermal-sensitive substrates. Nanotubes will be oriented by the application of an electric field and by lateral growth using growth barriers.The ballistic transport of nanotubes is presently accompanied by a large contact resistance, so that the overall conductance is much lower in practice than the expected theoretical conductance. In situ growth will enable direct connecting of the nanotubes and prevent damage and pollution induced by the usual suspension/deposition process. Individual CNT structure will be characterised by in situ AFM/Raman analyses to correlate growth conditions, structural and transport properties. By using these tools, we intend

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Increase of apple fruit quality and size by genetically-controlled reduction of over-cropping' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

A major reason for low quality of apples is over-cropping. This means that apple trees produce lots of small apples that prevent good quality apples to grow normally. It is therefore essential for apple growers to stop over-cropping in their orchards, and adding chemical products or by hand removing deals this so far. This project aims at proposing a new method for apple growers to reduce over-cropping for the 'Golden Delicious' variety of apples. The idea is to find the most suitable pollinate of 'Golden Delicious'. This pollinate will prevent over-cropping and apple size; quality and storage ability will be improved. The main tasks of the project will be to carry out natural pollination, hand pollination and to study the compatibility of different varieties of apples. Once the most suitable pollinate(s) of 'Golden Delicious' will be found, a strategy for apple growers will be developed, so that they can exploit the results of this project in their own apple orchard.
