For many years it has been pointed out by users, next-of-kin, professionals and the authorities that treatment should be better coordinated for those who need help from several health services. It is known that failure often arises in the transition...
The Future Internet will provide an environment in which a diverse range of services are offered by a diverse range of suppliers, and users are likely to unknowingly invoke underlying services in a dynamic and ad hoc manner.
As manual labor is getting increasingly expensive, the use of robots for automatic handling of parts is becoming crucial for the piece manufacturing industry in high-cost countries. One challenge that remains to be solved is to automatically pick and...
Hydrogen membrane reactors are an attractive technology for pre-combustion carbon dioxide capture in both coal and gas fired power stations because they combine the efficient conversion of syngas into hydrogen fuel with capture of the remaining...
The ENVISION project provides an ENVIronmental Services Infrastructure with Ontologies that aims to support non ICT-skilled users in the process of semantic discovery and adaptive chaining and composition of environmental services. Innovations in...
Future production of Second Generation Biofuels in Norway requires building of long term competence in thermochemical biomass conversion (i.e. gasification). GasBio aims to fulfil this national need.
In post-combustion CO2 capture, a main bottleneck causing significant reduction in power plant efficiency and preventing cost effectiveness is the low flue gas CO2 partial pressure, limiting membrane flux, solvent selection and capacity. In pre...
Small scale stationary Combined Heat and Power (µ-CHP) generation is foreseen as a significant future market for fuel cells. Among the fuel cell types, the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology is by far dominating the small scale...
Micro-optical microphones have many advantages over conventional condenser or capacitive microphones. They offer immunity toward electromagnetic interference and need only a small membrane, which gives a more compact and robust sensor. Theoretically...
The main objective of the NEXPEL project, a successful demonstration of an efficient PEM electrolyser integrated with Renewable Energy Sources, supports the overall vision to establish hydrogen as an energy carrier in a large range of applications in...
The main concept of piezoVolume is to develop a platform of integrated processes for production of piezoelectric microsystems.
The objective of the project is to review former previous DEMO-projects and collects views on cross cutting issues from experienced staff, thereby utilizing valuable insights and help future hydrogen lighthouse- projects consider the pros and cons of...
SINTEF has since 2003 conducted annual national ripple effect analyzes in the fisheries and aquaculture sector on behalf of various clients.
The ThinSi project will develop a solar cell processing chain for high throughput, cost-effective manufacturing of thin film silicon based solar cells on low-cost silicon substrates. The substrates will be made on the basis of an innovative powder-to...
The goal of the HyPilot project was to investigate the need for new research infrastructure (RI) and evaluate concepts for access to and organization of national pilot test infrastructures for hydrogen technologies based on a thorough gap analysis...
