user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Enabling simpler, cheaper and more efficient energy conversion for power electronics modules' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Today’s society relies more and more on electricity, which is essential to power our homes, portable devices, and for our mobility via electric vehicles and bikes. To meet this growing demand for electricity, there are two solutions: increase production, or reduce energy losses in the distribution between production and consumption. The latter solution is becoming possible with the recent advent of wide band gap materials such as silicon carbide in the power electronics industry. SiC promises significant benefits such as high energy conversion efficiency and smaller device size. This leads for example to extended driving ranges in electric vehicles and more efficient generation of solar power. However, the potential of SiC has not yet been fully exploited. With a significant improvement to a key, yet overlooked, mandatory component of all electronic power devices, the gate driver, Heyday Integrated Circuits enables to fully leverage the potential of silicon carbide. HeyDay introduces Hey3012, the only gate driver with the revolutionary patented Power-Thru technology enabling the full potential of silicon carbide devices. Hey3012 delivers 4 key benefits: less conversion losses, less components, less volume and less cost.  Heyday is targeting the growing market for isolated gate drivers estimated at €1.8B by 2025. Albeit small, this market has a major impact on the much bigger power electronics market (€40B in 2025). That is due to the ubiquity of power modules: electric vehicles, solar panels, robotics, data servers, power supplies and many other applications. Heyday will start Hey3012 sales in 2022 focusing on 3 key markets: automotive, solar and industrial motors, with respective time-to-markets of 4, 2.5 and 1.5 years. Heyday is a French company founded in 2014 with t

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Investigating the roles of the mitochondrial alternative oxidase of Ciona intestinalis' (2007-2013) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The respiratory chain alternative enzymes constitute additional pathways to the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system, in which oxygen consumption is uncoupled from ATP production. In contrast to the majority of eukaryotic organisms, including other invertebrate animals, vertebrates and arthropods lack any such alternative pathway. However, the expression of alternative oxidases and NADH dehydrogenases from urochordates and fungi in mammalian cultured cells and in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster has proven to be benign and to counteract deleterious effects of defective OXPHOS systems, inspiring therapeutic possibilities for mitochondrial and related diseases. The observed benefits are in paradox with the fact that genes for alternative enzymes were lost independently, early in the evolution of both Vertebrata and Arthropoda. I thus propose to investigate the functions of an animal alternative enzyme, the alternative oxidase (AOX), in two research fronts: 1) in studies with Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata: Ascidiacea), that will aim at understanding the biology of this enzyme in its natural “host”; and 2) in studies with transgenic fruitflies expressing the C. intestinalis AOX, which will focus on the possible negative effects caused by this enzyme on the metabolism and fitness of D. melanogaster. I will use a systems biology approach that combines a variety of molecular biology techniques to study general and mitochondrial metabolism under different stress conditions, and assays to test aerobic performance and measure the organism’s fitness, ultimately providing insights into the physiology and the evolution of the alternative pathways in animals.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Novel Integrated Photonic Devices for High-Power Ultrashort Pulse Generation'.

assistant: **Concept**

Semiconductor monolithically-integrated photonic devices that can generate high-power ultrashort pulses are underdeveloped by far, although they are very promising in many application areas such as biomedical imaging, laser surgery and laser therapy, due to the stable, reliable, low-cost and portable features of this class of devices. The goal of this project is to develop a new generation of high power, low beam divergence, ultrafast semiconductor integrated photonic devices. The target area encompasses biomedical and relevant applications, although the range of applications where high-performance compact ultrafast laser sources can be deployed is very wide. This new generation of integrated ultrafast laser sources is expected to replace the expensive and bulky solid-state ultrafast laser sources in the near-infrared waveband in a number of applications.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Hybrid solid electrolyte for safer rechargeable sodium batteries with higher energy density'.

assistant: **Concept**

Electrification is one of major pathways to the decarbonisation of Europes transport and energy sectors, which will allow Europe to address the ambition to become the world first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Rechargeable batteries will help decarbonise transport sector and enable a higher uptake of renewable energy, and are therefore strategically important to Europe. The HySoBatt project aims to develop a hybrid solid electrolyte comprising aligned NASICON-type inorganic nanofiber networks embedded in sodium (Na) conducting polymer electrolyte, which can be used in rechargeable solid-state Na batteries and to markedly improve batterys energy density and safety. Such solid-state Na batteries will be a promising, low-cost alternative to the current widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), without the need for any Critical Raw Materials that may bring potential supply risks for upscaling. The low-cost and improved safety of solid-state Na batteries will also promote their wider adoption in the battery market in the future. The applicant has extensive hands-on experience in sodium-ion battery research, and he will be able to extend further the breath of his research and gain a holistic view about the R&D of rechargeable Na batteries. The host institution will arrange a number of training activities helping the applicant gain new competences and skills not only in scientific research but also in project management & reporting, proposal preparation, IP protection, and science communications. The proposed research is aligned with both the SRIA of Batt4EU and the national and the host institutions strategies on batteries. Both the applicant and the host institution will benefit from the two-way knowledge transfer. All research and training actions will significantly enh

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Learning efficient millimeter wave radar imaging for autonomous vehicles' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The emerging autonomous vehicle ecosystem is expected to grow with an almost 40% CAGR in the next decade hitting €485 billion by 2026 and exceeding €6 trillion in 2050. There is wide industry consensus that improved long-range depth sensing modalities are imperative for the viability of self-driving cars. State-of-the-art optical technologies are still prohibitively expensive, have insufficient temporal and spatial resolution, do not provide an accurate velocity reading, and are restricted to a shorter range in adverse weather conditions. Millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars are an attractive alternative relying on a phased array of transmitting antennas and digital receivers, containing no moving parts, and able to penetrate adverse weather conditions. The weakness of this technology is the costly requirement for a large number of receiver channels to achieve sufficient spatial resolution. We will apply our novel methodology recently developed for medical imaging to overcome this challenge.  We have demonstrated that learning the entire imaging pipeline in medical ultrasonography, including the shape of the transmitted pulses and the configuration of the receivers allows reducing the number of transmits by a factor of 3, while maintaining image quality comparable to traditional high-frame rate imaging protocols. Despite the different underlying physics, ultrasound and radar imaging share many conceptual similarities and have a similar mathematical description. Here, we intend to develop a proof-of-concept MIMO radar system demonstrating that by using the learned transmit patterns and image reconstruction pipeline, it is possible to halve the number of receive channels without compromising the image resolution and signal-to-noise ratio.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Overcoming the challenge of large gene transfer for the therapy of inherited retinal diseases' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) cause blindness in over 200,000 individuals in Europe. The majority are due to mutations in genes expressed in photoreceptors (PR) in the retina. We have recently demonstrated the safety and efficacy of gene therapy for IRDs in patients with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). One of the major limitations to extend this clinical success to other blinding conditions is that many are caused by mutations in genes with large coding sequences that exceed the cargo capacity of the most efficient gene transfer vector for PR, the adeno-associated virus (AAV). Conversely, vectors for large gene delivery like lentiviral (LV) or high-capacity adenoviral (HC-Ad) vectors have poor PR tropism.This project aims at overcoming the challenge of large gene delivery to the retina. We propose to either expand AAV cargo capacity or to identify/modify LV and HD-Ad vectors with improved PR transduction ability. We plan to expand AAV cargo capacity by either producing AAV vectors from single plasmid containing large genes or by generating 2-split AAV vectors each containing one of 2 halves of a large gene which is reconstituted upon AAV intermolecular concatemerization in the nucleus of target cells. In parallel, we will screen a series of existing LV pseudotypes and Ad serotypes for their ability to transduce PR. Alternatively, we propose to modify the Ad capsid or LV envelope using epitopes identified by in vivo biopanning that bind to PR and. We will compare the efficiency of the three vector platforms to transduce murine and porcine PR. The platform with highest PR transduction efficiency will then be used to correct the retinal phenotype of murine models of common severe IRDs due to mutations in large genes.Overcoming the challenge of large gene transfer wil

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Development of a closed mould process competitive against hand lay up and spray up technologies'.

assistant: **Concept**

The 30% ol` European thermosetting composite production is related to old open mould production methods such as hand lay up ana spray up Both technologies have advantages and disadvantages againts newer technologies. The advantages come in the form of competitiveness for low slze b atches and large size parts due to the low cost of tooling needed and the use of a simple one pan mold The disadvantages are related to enviromental. health quality and general properties of the manufacturea parts. The relation between advantages and disadvantages has been positive for open mould technologies, but there are two important factors to be taken in account: The new environmental legislation that looks forward a decrease of styrene emissions down to 20 ppm in several European countries and the important number of rejected pans from a quality concienced market. The main objective of the proposal is to develop a process that will substitute in the future a 30% of the actual volume manufactured by open molding techniques. The proposed RTD approach is to develop a closed mould process that solving the actual disadvantages, will be designed with the low cost and simplicity specification as the most important ones to be taken in account. To develope this RTD approach. several tasks must be developed including the definition of the specifications of pans manufactured by open mould technologies. design of low cost moulds. design of low cost toolings and prototype manufacturing and testing.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Early infectious, inflammatory and immune mechanisms in schizophrenia""' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The ambitious goal of this proposal is to identify causal mechanisms in schizophrenia, a devastating disease affecting about 1 percent of the population worldwide, and for which there is no current prevention or cure.If my team and I are successful, we will discover etiological factors that can be targets for preventive interventions on the general population level and in high-risk groups, as well as inform the development of novel treatments.I will use a truly unique population-based set of registers and biobanks, based upon a total national Danish birth cohort of more that 1.6 million individuals, and apply a novel combination of epidemiological design and methods and molecular biological techniques to the study of early risk factors for schizophrenia: I propose to combine cohort, nested case-control and case-sibling designs in studies of this total national birth cohort with detailed biological assessment of genetic and environmental risk factors operating during fetal life and around birth, in combination with detailed longitudinal information about the life course of cases, controls and their relatives.Together with my team, I will for the first time in a human population empirically test a range of novel and specific hypotheses, tied together by a common theoretical framework of inflammatory and immune mechanisms interacting with individual genetic vulnerability during fetal life. Specifically the focus will be on infectious agents, markers of inflammation, effects of maternal auto-antibodies, and interactions with maternal vitamin D as well as genes involved in apoptosis and other relevant pathways. All findings will be tested in independent replication samples from the same population and further validated by comparison to healthy sibling controls. Because my st

user: Explain how 'Electrolytic Copper Metallisation of solar cells for high volume Manufacturing' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

PROJECT OBJECTIVES A common feature of all solar cells is the requirement of metal contacts to be applied to both the positive and negative surface of the device to carry the photo-generated current. The contacts must be robust, highly conducting, of low-cost and, above all, simple and efficient to fabricate. Copper plated contacts are used in the fabrication of high efficiency cells manufactured in the EU. Copper's high electrical conductivity is ideal for this application but the current deposition process by electroless plating is somewhat slow and inefficient. Accordingly, the technical objective of this project is to adapt the high-volume low-cost electrolytic plating technology used by the printed circuit board (PCB) industry and apply the techniques to the metallisation of silicon solar cells. TECHNICAL APPROACH The technical programme is divided into five tasks. The first phase of the project (task 1) is intended to answer some basic process and design questions regarding the electrolytic copper plating of solar cells. The proposed approach will be to assemble apparatus for single wafer plating in which the basic process can be verified. In task 2 the design parameters from Task 1 will be used for the design but not the construction of prototype equipment suitable for demonstrating high through-put production feasibility of the process. Support to tasks 1 and 2 will come from task 3 (Characterisation). Work will encompass metallurgical characterisation of the deposited film (mechanical, chemical, electrical conductivity, grain size, etc.), characterisation of the device (including contact resistance, contact adhesion, solderability, etc.) and characterisation of the PV cell and module performance together with environmental testing of the product.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'A Multiple-Scattering Computing Platform For (Nano) Materials'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Our society relies more and more on the finding of new materials for the advancement of technology. Prior to being used for applications and in order to be tailored to specific properties,materials have to be carefully characterized and the connection between their propertiesand underlying electronic, magnetic and crystallographic structure must be clearly understood.This is where electron and photon spectroscopies come into play. Thanks to their unique specificities and the use of synchrotron radiation, they have the capability to accessall the requested information at the nanoscopic and the atomic levels with enhanced accuracy.However, this accuracy can only be achieved by comparison to a calculation based on asuitable theoretical model, as no reliable inversion of the experimental data can directly achieve such a necessary accuracy. Moreover, recent breakthroughs in their theoretical modelling make us hopeful that in the coming years calculations of the experimental signal will reach a predictive level, thereby offering the possibility to by-pass some expensive experiments. Multiple scattering is a major issue in the devising of an accurate and flexible framework that can deal in the same way with periodic and non-periodic materials, with nanostructures and over a very wide range of energies. The purpose of the present project is to offer the scientific community a unique computing platform able to deal with the characterization of all sorts of materials using various spectroscopies. To this purpose, we will gather the expertise of nine participants, all specialized in the multiple scattering description of spectroscopies. The sharing of complementary expertise will allow us to propose to the user (experimentalists and theoreticians) a coherent set of computer progra
